More Sewing!

SEW I have been doing a little sewing lately. These are the four throw pillows I made on Saturday. I'm waiting to stuff them till we get back to Provo to save room in the car. These pillows minus the one in the back will be going on our living room couch. They designs don't go together, but the colors tie in together in some way. It pops more that way! I will show you how it looks when we get to Provo in August.
All of the sewing I have done recently.( Throw Pillows and Blankets)

These are the pillows that will be going on the couch. The really colorful one is the focus point, and from that I took the colors: yellow, red, white, and brown from it.

I think I want to put something extra on the front of this one.

These are some of the receiving baby blankets I made. When I first found out I was pregnant last December, my mom bought me some baby fabric to make these blankets and have finally gotten around to them (now that I'm not pregnant) :)

My mother-in-law gave me all of this fabric and also gave me the idea to make this rag blanket. It was kind of confusing but a fun project. Next time it will go much quicker and hopefully look much better. Not too bad for a first rag blanket though.

The final product

Happy 4th of July!

Okay, so Justin got a new camera lens that he has been wanting for a really long time for hitting his monthly goal. Since today was the 4th of July, we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to test the new lens out.








APX wives, minus a few.

Today we went to a park that was on Lake Erie and had a BBQ with some of the office. Justin barbecued, we ate, and had a blast!

Cleveland Sunset!


The city of Cleveland


Fireworks over the lake!




p.s. Justin loves his lens!

Cleveland!

So here are some things we have been doing in Cleveland...Playing Softball, swimming, diving for dollars and um..making funny faces in the mirror. We are having a blast here in Cleveland and are very blessed to be able to travel around to so many places!

This is what Justin comes home to every night..A hot dinner, clean house and a happy wife. Okay, not always ;)




Every summer the boys go 'Diving for Dollars'. The office managers throw pennies into the pool, the guys jump in according to rank and however many pennies they pick up, is how much dollars they get.

Before Justin jumped in

Justin laughing away..

About to jump in...

Go Baby!

Whenever Justin went down to get pennies, his cute little toes would stick out of the water.

When Justin came up for air, he would have one eye open and one shut, every time.


92 Pennies....92 Dollars!!!
