Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago today in the University of Utah Hospital ICU I gave birth to our second son, Hayden Andrew Parker. To read Hayden's story click HERE. 

Since Aurora's birthday is tomorrow we will combine the family festivities at the restaurant of Aurora's choice at Disneyland the 25th and 26th. 

Can It Be???

I can't believe that my Baby will be 6 years old next week. It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the Hospital. 

This year we are actually forgoing a big party and will be spending 2 days at Disneyland. However she has  been asking for a slumber/tea/dance party. She's picked one friend to come over and we'll do all the girly things that Aurora has been dying to do.

Over The Rainbow

Aurora has been begging me to make her class some treats like the ones I used to make for Sage's classes at least once a month. Yes, I was that awesome Mom who made something totally adorable for every holiday I could come up with.

I've been putting it off all school year because my desire to craft has been on hiatus for the last 2 1/2 years. After scouring Pinterest I finally found something that I could make using MDS and Costco Photo.

I made this little cloud tag and had it printed on photo paper. I cut it out and layered it on top of some Pink Pirouette cardstock, punched two small holes with my crop-a-dile and stuck the lollipop though it. For her teacher I just turned the cloud into a tag and tied it to a giant Hershey Kiss.

 I think they turned out pretty darn cute for my first attempt back at crafting. I've got to get it together.

Eleven Years

Wow... has it really been eleven years since I married my best friend? The time has flown by but yet it seems we've known each other forever.
