Eliza has been growing out of her dresses at an alarming rate! Today I remembered that I had some dresses from when I was little in a small suitcase in the garage so I got them out. I forget how lucky we are to have elastic! These 100% cotton things have no give whatsoever and I was scared that she was going to bust the seams in them when she was running and tumbling through the house!
Thank goodness she has better hair than me.
I love how she poses in the pictures. I don't think we look too much alike. I had a crooked eye (like Ian!) I had a hairstyle that was obviously done by myself! I was a whole lot shorter than her, this picture in the yellow dress was my first grade school picture and it barely fits her at 4!
Ian couldn't resist jumping in front of the camera a few times. They were so bored today they begged me to call some cousins over. I tried to explain that everyone is far away and it takes lots of planning to have family over but they don't like my excuses. Anybody want to come visit and entertain them?? Otherwise we will have to have another fashion show next week.

Happy Birthday Mike (and Jared too!)

We had the annual birthday bash at our house this year. Last year we enjoyed our trip to the State Capital and then sledding with cousins. This year due to lack of snow... we had to find other activities! The brothers went spelunking/repelling in an ice cave out near American Falls. Then we all went the the Idaho Museum of Natural History on ISU campus (which is free, by the way) and visited Mike's office. Happy Birthday Mike! We love you.

Project... Help Needed!
I have been collecting our old jeans for years and have finally decided to make a jean quilt with the squares. But then I went online and found all the amazing jean quilts made in the Cathedral Windows pattern. So I spent all day cutting my 6" squares into circles. So I have 200 circles. But now it is not nearly enough to make a full size quilt with, I only have enough to make it about 4 1/2' x 4 1/2'. Dang. So I am asking anyone nearby or in driving distance if they have any holey old jeans that they are planning on throwing out to save them for me!! Anybody? Anybody?
Here is an example of the pattern I am making.. It looks hard but really fun. I won't have to tie it or do a batting or anything. And it's cute!
