I heart sundays

I love waking up with my sneaky kids that manage to get in our bed without us noticing. I love Jared in the kitchen making us french toast. I love our sticky table from syrup. I love our table covered in white from powered sugar. I love us in pajamas for a long part of the day. I love chips and salsa for lunch. I love Jared watching sports while I sew and work on my projects. I love seing my little boy in a tie. I love seing how excited Bella gets to go to church with her scriptures. I love going to church. I love talking to my family on the phone or seing them on skype. I love having yummy sunday dinners. I love going to bed on sunday night thinking about an exciting week ahead. I truly heart you, sundays! :)

Up

We love the animated Disney/Pixar movie Up and the colorful little house that Carl and Ellie spent their lives together in. This weekend, my cousin Vanessa, Bella and I had the blast of going to see the replica of the house here in Herriman, Utah. It was sooo fun! :) They paid attention to every small detail such as Carl and Ellie’s mailbox, picture frames, couches, the adventure book ... it's sooo cute! :) I love the kitchen!!! Bella kept begging me to please buy the house! :) The house is for sale for $400,000 but sorry Bella I don't think daddy would love the idea as much as you do! :)

My friend and I went to the witches night out on friday at Gardner Village with our daughters. We've never seen so many pointy hats in one place before! :) Witches, shopping, eating, laughing and dancing were all part of a fun night! :)

Piano Lessons


I was raised around music due to my mother being a piano teacher. Having a piano around my children when in Brazil got a spark on them for wanting to learn how to play it. My mother started to teach Bella a bit this last time we were there and Bella really enjoyed learning it. By talking to my cousin about how I wanted to find a piano teacher for my children is how we got to our dear Paula. We bought a keyboard for Bella and she has been taken lessons once a week for the last month or so. I thought Jackson was too young but he got interested after Bella's first classes and is now also taking lessons. Thank you sooo much Paula for your dedication, preparation and love you put into your lessons. For you two, I am very proud of you for wanting to learn it and to have fun with it! I love listening to you, Bella, practicing your songs, it sures puts a smile on me! Can't wait for the recital on december! Love you, guys! :)

Fabric Pumpkins

I saw these fabric pumpkins on a blog last night and fell in love with it! :) My friends and I got together today and made some of our own! They turned out sooo cute! Jackson wanted one as well so I made him one with some cool flames fabric! :)



My cute sewing bag

I made this bag at my sewing class and love it! I can put my fabrics, accessories, patterns, magazines and all I need to be working on my current projects. Thanks to my teachers at Bernina for always helping me! :)
