Josh's dad's birthday

so I am trying hard-er- at getting cards out for birthdays and holidays (not so great this year but there is always room for improvement right?!  pinterest here I come for more ideas...please)  anyway...Josh's dad celebrated his birthday this past Sunday and so I found this cute card for the girls to make with their feet for him.  Of course found from this website  http://supermomsteph.blogspot.com/2012/03/valentine-picture.html  and then I modified it into this...

I think they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself...however I just wish I had more updated pictures printed (these are from July of 2012...so only like 5 months old...oh well) STILL CUTE

Christmas 2012

this year we have gotten/made some new ornaments that I wanted to share:

I made this for us...an 'F' for fullmer and '06' for when our family started

this I made for Josh...he attends the University of Utah...they are called the Utes

we bought these from the Disney Store but were for Adey and Paisley from St. Nicholas this year

I made these...however this is for a tradition we started this year...the letter that girls write each year will be put in the envelopes and for Santa to read when he arrives at our tree (we helped Adey write hers this year and Adey wanted to write Paisleys...)

I bought this one at Shopko

I bought this one at Shopko too..one for each girl...and will write our memories of each Christmas every year in it...they are little notebook ornaments...such a good idea

This last thing isn't an ornament but just a decor I made with the girls.  I want to eventually get a stand for it and find a better place to display it...but for our temp. home it sits in our living room on our end table:

I found this idea on pinterest but changed it up a little to add my character to it

Pinterest success...

Thank you for who ever invented pinterest.  I can't tell you how many meal ideas I have found and made to be successful to arts/crafts for me or Adey to super cute house decor to presents I have made to so much more...I love the idea of pinning all the nifty stuff out there and coming back.  I love my folder I have created of my future home (which one day Josh and I hope to build our dream within the next like 5 to 10 years depending on jobs and school and location).  I love all the art project ideas Adey and I have made and had fun in doing so.  I JUST LOVE PINTEREST...who cares what others who disagree may say....but look at this genius idea I found:

each outfit carefully put together in a bag...how easy is that to get my kids dressed while on vacation?!

I mean look...shoes, bows, hair ties/headbands, socks, tops, bottoms, undies, jewelry...all together in one bag!

dry products in one bag and wet in another to prevent spillage onto things that aren't easily washable

now I won't have to worry about loosing a hair tie or things getting tangled.  I just have them pick out the outfit they want to wear, hand it to them, and they get dressed...I just LOVE this idea!
