Simple Talent

As most of you know I have a love for making crafty things. Most of them are good, but not great. Through out my life I have been blessed to be surrounded by amazingly talented people who inspire me to perfect my own talents. I would like to show case one of these talented ladies in my life, my childhood bestie Sarah. Sarah Burnett has been a great friend of mine since we were in grade school. I knew early on in our friendship that I would not be able to compete with this talented woman. She is a master baker/cook. I have yet to eat something made from her hands that has not be amazing. For instance this amazing Spongebob Squarepants cake she made

And she has done many many many wedding cakes including my little brother Erik's. I am definitely not much of a baker/cook but she inspires me. K so that's not all Sarah is also an amazing seamstress. When I was more concerned with how my hair looked she was already cutting out patterns and stitching up her own skirts and dresses. She has made these to adorable dresses for her girls out of old shirts that her husband didn't use anymore.

And if all that wasn't enough she is also a master craftsman. I have been a recipient of some of her smaller yet awesome wood crafts, but when Sarah puts her mind to something you can bet it will be done (with a little help from the husband). This is the bed she made for her daughters.Sarah is simply talented not just in making things, but she is one of the most giving people I know. She is always there to listen to me vent about stupid things even if she is having a bad day. I love this lady and I have been so blessed to have had her in my life for nearly 20 years and hope to continue to have her in my life for the next 2o years.

Just a Little Update

So let me start out by saying that I am now committing to updating this blog more often, but there is one problem I have lost our camera. It has everything from Christmas to Megan's 9th birthday on it. So there are not pic for this post (boring I know).
On with the update.
We are still living with Wayne's parents, but are steadily searching for a new home. Wayne is still enjoying his stress free job with Ferrari Color. He also had his first desert race of the year in Mesquite, NV. He was only able to do one lap when his clutch died. It was just not good...not good at all.

I was working at Anchor Blue in the University Mall, but the company has closed down and I am now right where I should be at home with my babies. I am enjoying being with the kids and doing all the house hold stuff that I totally despised before. You never know how good you have it until you loose it. I have also been called to be a laurel's adviser in church and I am really enjoying that.

Megan turned 9 on the 10th of January and decided on a scrapbook themed party. She had some school friends come as well as her cousins. She is doing great in school and has been asked to be the teachers assistant in helping the other students in her class understand what is being taught. Wayne and I couldn't be prouder. She is also starting to develop her own sense of style. For the most part I have loved it, but there are times that I have wondered.

Kaitlyn is still her silly outgoing self. She is still constantly making us laugh. She is counting down the days til her baptism and getting her ears pierced in October. She is also doing very well in school and is very excited for summer vacation.

Our little man Ty is getting bigger and bigger every day. He is still very in love with dirt bikes and asks on a regular basis when he will be getting one of his own. He also has a new found love for playing the xbox (although at this moment it is broken). He lets us know on a regular basis that he "loves us so much" and Wayne and I are powerless against it, and I think sometimes Ty knows this.

All in all we are doing really well. We look forward spending more time together doing fun family things. Hopefully I can find our camera and add some pictures to future posts.
