For the past couple years, Zachary has started asking for a mohawk in like February. We started doing mohawks the summer before he turned one (and Karter before that but he's not a fan anymore) and he's loved them ever since. We talk him into waiting until it's a little warmer and this is the week. He was giggly the whole time I was doing it and he couldn't be happier. I love my funny, awesome little boy!

It's what FUN is!
We are finally Lagoon season passport holders!
We are so excited to be able to drive the short distance to Lagoon whenever we are feeling it.
We went on Saturday and it was probably the funnest, most relaxing time I've ever had there. It was so nice not to have to rush- to feel like we had to pack so much into one day (since normally it's so freaking expensive!). It was awesome!
We rode some rides...
We played some games...
(and won some prizes!!)
We did a photo shoot for this kid...
(man, he cracks me up! he's running from the dragon in the last one..)
And we had a fun, FUN time! We can't wait to go back!

My dream...
So I've decided (with the help of a determined-to-make-money friend and hubby) I want to do my own scrapbooking line. It's a slim chance and a TON of work but one day I hope for this to be a place where people come to see projects made with my line.
So, I hope you'll forgive me and not get totally bored of me posting all my little projects. Hopefully, it's bound to get worse.. :)
Here are a few of my latest:

I made these for Ash and Mel to write their thoughts about turning 30.

Lazy Sunday
Okay, so this is our first Sunday not having a calling and we ditched church. And while the boys are taking advantage of the warm weather flying kites, this is my lazy Sunday:

So behind...
I've been falling so far behind on my Project 365. But I don't want to stop, so I've been snapping pics like crazy trying desperately to catch up. (Okay, that's a bit dramatic...)
Here are a few from recent:
Karter in his 3D glasses that we chose not to recycle 'cause they're so awesome! And his purple bunny ears from Target. Yes, he chose purple.... *sigh* :)
Zach's new bike that we got for $20 from the bike collective in Ogden. Rich is so good at finding great deals. Zach calls is his "hotwheel" bike!
The boys doing what boys do- wrestling.
After a long while, Karter finally got him! Zach's tough!
Today was not a nice warm day by any means, but the boys still wanted to go out and play sports (yay!!) and my little heater had to wear shorts...
Karter is surprisingly good at baseball!! He can catch and he has quite an arm!
Here are some recent projects I've done. I hope the people I gave the cards to don't ming sharing..

Alice and our wonderland
I've been so excited for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland to come out!! We decided to take the boys to see it on Saturday (after seeing that Wes and Amber's little boy sat through it). Karter loved it (after watching the Disney version for the first time Friday night) but kept taking his 3D glasses off so things wouldn't "get" him. Zach took his off after about the first five minutes and I couldn't talk him into putting them back on.
Here's my short review: I liked the twist of continuing the story instead of just remaking it (Alice is 19 and goes back to Wonderland) but I felt that it was a bit dark for the story I know. I might feel that way because my kids were with me and I could tell parts of it bothered them and I know it's Tim Burton but both my kids like Nightmare Before Christmas.
Anyway, besides that I loved it! I love Johnny Depp in almost any role (especially goofy ones) and Helena Bonham Carter made an awesome Queen of Hearts. Our favorite line from the movie was "I need a pig here!" We've been saying for the last two days almost nonstop. Love it.
Silly me, I knew we were going to see 3D and for some stupid reason wore my glasses. Try wearing 3D glasses over regular glasses- not cool.
This is the movie Zachary's excited for:
We decided to make it a family day and go on a bike ride "in nature" as the boys said. I LOVE having the Weber river trail so close to our house. I also love that Dick likes to take the boys outside and be active.
We ride the 3 miles or so to the end of the trail for this:
Throwing rocks in the river is extremely entertaining for any boy (even the big ones). Good thing I had my book. :)
One more beautiful part of our nature ride:
Yep, that'd be the car junk yard. It's lovely.
This is the river gauntlet that we need to tube this summer. Oh yeah!
And now, some craftness:

About Me
- Gwendolyn
- My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
