Snow or Shine

 Bridger has had an obsession with being outside. I guess you could say he gets it from his parents. If he's not outside, he's longingly looking outside...hoping and waiting for when we can go out.

 Since lately we've had some pretty snowy days, we've gone out those days too. He loves playing in the snow.

 Sometimes he likes to taste it too :)

 We've especially been enjoying the sunny days and Bridger absolutely loves every minute of it!

Shhhhhh

The whole month of March was dedicated to this...an ABC quiet book! Something I've been wanting to make for a long time. It was fun to have help from Tay and my mother in law also made the cover (last picture) which turned out awesome. My sister, Amber also made one with me and we had lots of fun figuring out what we wanted for each letter. 

A: Animals (finger puppets :)   

B: Buckle                            C: Clock (hands move) 

D: Dolls (lots of fun matching outfits to snap on the dolls)

E: Eggs (snap the matching color/texture with each egg)

F: Flowers (button on the petals)

 G: Gumballs (velcro gumballs)

H: Hands (put your hands inside)

I: Ice cream (snap on the flavors)

J: Jewels (match the shape of jewel and velcro on)

K: Kite (braid the tail)              L: Laces (lace the shoe)

M: Mailbox (write a note and put the flag up and down)

 N: Numbers (velcro on and count or put any combo on :)

O: Ocean (move the fish back and forth)

P: Picnic (take off the basket, open, and set up the blanket and dishes)

Q: Quilt (weave in and out and button)  R: Robot (move the arms/legs)

S: Seasons (snap on the season...I put on some of each one below...

                              T: Train (hook/unhook and move around the cars)

U: Umbrella (move the raindrops up and down)  V: Vest (button vest)

W: Wheels (rotate wheels around)            X: X marks the spot...

...you can take off the map and lace from each landmark following the key (landmarks can be rotated)

Y: Yummy (eat the fruits and veggies in the bowl and enjoy...notice the tribute to our alma mater)

Z: Zippers (have fun zipping and unzipping)

Outside case and front and back inside covers. Case made by Debbie and Taylor (a big thanks to them!). The tongue of the frog rolls in and out (has 2011 C. W. written on it). C. W. for Cami Weight :) Back cover has upper and lower case alphabet in pockets and can put them on the velcro to spell things or sing the ABC's. 

...and there it is...walah! A lot of work but I hope my children someday all enjoy it.

Matchy Matchy

 Christine and Garrett and their little baby boy Thomas came out for his baby blessing and it was so fun to see them together. It gave me a little bit of a foreshadowing of what it will be like with baby boy #2.

 Look how cute they are in their baby matching pjs. We had to work hard to keep Bridger from wrestling Thomas. 

He gave him the sweetest kiss when he was all sad. Hopefully he will be nice and sweet with his own little baby brother. :)
