Spring Top Completed

About a month ago I noticed a Spring Top competition on http://www.madebyrae.blogspot.com/ and decided that I was going to enter. Of course I left it for the very last day to complete it, but i finished..... so here it is. I used simplicity 2599 pattern and then just added the tie and the gathered accents. Fabric was Heather Bailey, Nicey Jane, Hopdot in cream and the tie and gathered front were Amy Butler, Love, Sunspots, tangerine and mint. I managed to get a few shots of if by myself and entered. I'm happy with it but was so impressed by how many well made tops were entered. Don't look too closely at mine :)

Jet's New Top

Here's Jet's shirt that I said I would finish two weeks ago!! I'm going to be finishing my spring tops for the madebyrae.blogspot competition today so i'll get those posted next.

Moab 2010

We just purchased our second car and a thule bike rack that fits Jordan and Jet's bike.

Jet fasinated with the adult mountain bikers, while watching a mountain bike clip.

Bessie and the boys at the sand pit.

Some of the biking group on the Blue Dot trail.

Jordan with his Yeti, his pride and joy.

Jordan proposed to me here 5 years ago

and here we are now, two kids and one on the way. JK

Jet being a little poser. We got a laugh out of this one.

Stopped in Flagstaff on our way. Jet's potty training, hence the undies.

FuN TiMEs!!

We had such an enjoyable Easter weekend. Of course feeling spiritually uplifted from conference was the highlight. I made cinnamon rolls from scratch which is a must in our home during conference. We also enjoyed Easter candy from family, and the usual dying easter eggs. Hope you all had as good of an Easter as we did.

Weekend Project!

I decided I was finally going to make this kimono for Finn,

I've had the material since before he was born. So on Saturday I

let my house go and sewed my little heart out. My plans were

to make Jet a shirt as well but that didn't happen.

Although, I think I'm going to try and get that done

this week. I was pleased with how it turned

out, I love the prints I chose.

Finn just looks so hansome in it.

Love this story, it hits close to home because of Mason our nephew that has muscular dystrophy. Watch with a tissue :)

Girls weekend!!

We had a GREAT long weekend. A lot going on here at the ZoBell home. Jordan and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, I turned 29, and my sisters and mom came for a girls weekend. We do one every year and this year everyone wanted to come to Arizona. I don't know why :) It's only been in the 70's down here. Our weekend consisted of shopping, sewing, and eating lots of good food. We managed to make the living room looked like a sweat shop with three sewing machines set up and material scattered all over. We made a really cute scrapy pillow and a few other things but that was our main project. I'm excited about two new resturants we visitied. Vito's a pizza place and Joe's Farm Grill, both were tasty. Nothing better than having family come and visit. Wish they could have stayed a few more days.

Trip to Utah

Plane ride home. Finn and Jet both slept half the flight, was I ever happy. If your asking why Finn has a pink binky, it's because Gus (my dad's dog) literally chewed the others up :)

I got together with some good friends including Skye.

We had a few nice runs together, thanks Skye.

The kids and I sure had a nice vacation up to Utah. We were able to spend two weeks there. We had fun ice skating with family, visiting friends, going to the movies and just faving fun. We also celebrated my Grandpa's 90th birthday. How would it be to be 90 years old? Even though we had an enjoyable time up there I was SOOO excited to come home and see Jordan. He had to stay home and work, thanks Jord for doing that. He's a great husband and father. So it's back to our little routine here in Queen Creek, AZ, but sometimes it's nice to get back to routine. I'm looking forward to this new year!!

The in-laws are here visiting for the Christmas break.

We have a few things planned, Mesa temple,

lots of good food and hopefully some sunny weather.

I'm looking forward to Christmas day

because Jet is getting a wooden train set.

It should be fun to see his little reaction.

Jet's Aunty Brit bought this seventies suit for Jet about a year ago.

It finally fit's him and he's been sporting it to church quite often.

The adventures of Finn and Jet!

Finn wearing Jet's safety glasses. Jet's first day as a bike courier :) Jet wore these beanies and this helmet for most of the day. His outfit also included Finn's levi's which looked like capri's on him. I was just proud that he put it all on by himself.
