Sewing!

Lately, I have had the itch to make things. Whether I am painting my girls bedroom (which I am), making little crafts, and lately sewing! I grew up hating to sew. I really don't know what has gotten into me. I can hear my mother now how she used to tell me, "that someday I will like it" and that, " when I was little I didn't like it either". Blah, blah, blah. At least thats what I used to think. But now, I am finding myself on the internet looking for new projects to try my hand at and at stores looking for material. Oh, no!! I have become my mother! Ha ha, just kidding mom. Thats a good thing. Below are some pictures of two dresses I made for Hannah. The only problem is..... she HATES them. Thus, why there is no picture of her wearing them.

This one, was the first one I made. It was an old church shirt of BJ's

This is another men's shirt that I got at DI. Hannah refused to wear it, so Brooklyn tried it on so I could at least get a picture of it on. The length is good for Brooklyn, but the rest is super small. That's why she has such a happy face.

If anyone is interested, the turorial I followed is here

FHE!!

I didn't grow up having FHE on a regular basis. And actually, neither did BJ. And this is by no means a blow at our parents. They did the best they could, when they could. Although, I did grow up knowing of its importance! And I knew that it was something I for sure wanted for my family when I was a mother.

And I am here to say that I LOVE having FHE with my kids. I love that they EXPECT it. That is new for me. I love the time that it gives us to be with each other. I love watching my girls learn about the gospel and scriptures. I love the feeling I have doing it. I can feel my testimony burn with in my heart when we have our lessons. The desire I have for my girls to know about the scriptures and about our loving Heavenly Father and Saviour, Jesus Christ is so fierce, that I find myself sad when the night has come to an end. And, I am longing for the next Monday night to come. I don't know why I don't have FHE every night. It would be awesome.

This was a recent FHE lesson we had about the fall and the restoration. It was alot of fun!

After the church "fell" from the earth, many other churches were established. Although, they each had "some" truth in it, they did not contain the fullness of the gospel. This is Hannah building here church.

Brooklyn's church.

Lots of different churches.
