One cute baby and and obsession...

This last week Caleb had some vacation, and we went over to Boise to help my Mom watch my sister's kids. It was SO fun! We love that area so much we couldn't bring ourselves to come home. While we were there we did some fun house shopping too. It never hurts to dream right? Anyway, I'll post more on that trip later, but what I wanted to share with you all was this...
Isn't she the most beautiful thing ever? I just love love this picture. My sisters roses were looking amazing...check that...her whole yard is amazing! So we took some pictures of Emi one afternoon, and I just thought this turned out SO precious.
I also thought I'd share really quick one of my latest watch band creations. I LOVE these things. This one is for the 4th(clearly) and the picture really doesn't do it justice, but I love the festive bright red and blue. So fun!(if you look closely in the backgorund beyond my ugly hand is my new kitchen floor...more on that to come soon too!)Another thing I am TOTALLY in love with lately is this AMAZING white chocolate by Lindt. It's coconut, and oh so amazing melt in your mouth deliciousness. I thought I would share for those of you with a sweet tooth like mine.Well, I'll try and post more on Boise later, until then, have a HAPPY HAPPY 4th! I LOVE the 4th, it's the best holiday ever. Oh, and I better not forget to shout out to my best friend in the WORLD who I love and miss tons, Happy Birthday on the 4th Crystal. It won't be the same without seeing you in the morning at the Firemans Breakfast. Love you!
Happy 4th!

How fun! I'm glad you guys got away and had a good time! I LOVE that watch band! A gal in my ward sells them and she charges $13 for the faces and $13 for the bands. I think she's making GOOD money, and also I think it's a good deal for those of us who don't have the time to make them! It's better than the bumble prices anyways! Maybe you should try selling them! Yours is soooo cute!

Your little Emi is so cute! This is such a fun age. I love it. I also love the watch band! You make them yourself? I would love to learn to do that. So fun and trendy. I love accessories. I sure wish I was going to be in IF for the 4th of July. It is always so much fun there. I'm way jealous. Hopefully we can try and find something to do here that won't kill us in the 100+ degree heat. Yuck. Have fun on Saturday!

Is Crystal and her husband moving to Ohio? I think I totally met her 2 Sundays ago at our new ward, or your friend looks just like someone who did just move to Ohio. Kinda weird. Hope you have a happy 4th.

Umm yeah. I just realized I was in Emma's account. This is Roni

Ashley said...

Roni, Yeah, Crystal just moved to Ohio the beginning of May. I hope you guys can get together and become friends, because she is GREAT! What a small world huh?

This is why I love blogs so much: children change so fast that I would never have any idea what they look like without regular updates. Emi is looking SO BIG! And cute, but of course you knew that already.:-)

That chocolate looks heavenly, I will have to watch for it (although I really shouldn't).

Christina said...

CUTE Emersyn, cute bracelet, and two cute girls that I've always loved! I can't say that the chocolate is cute, but it sure looks delish. I'll have to try it sometime. And I'm very anxious as to how that kitchen is coming along. Don't leave us hanging too long.

Dang. Brent's about to leave for the store to get food for today, and thanks to you, I'm having a very hard time not asking him to get me some of that Lindt chocolate. Mmmm...

tsmortensen said...

So a little hint for my upcomming birthday...my watch broke and I don't have one right now and I really miss it and you make really cute watches....just a little hint. :) And yes Emersyn is so cute and thanks for all your help while I was gone!

Ariana said...

I do love that coconut lindt chocolate. I've indulged a few times before. I'll have to come see your kitchen soon. I'm sure it's totally different than the last time I was there.

Emi is beautiful. I love her cheeks!

Amanda said...

Emi is so adorable! Wow, she's so grown up! And looks so much like her daddy.

I also love the watch band.

And I'm trying really hard not to hop in my car to go search for chocolate . . .

Camille said...

Those rosy cheeks are adorable! And I love the clapping hands. I think I have one of Katelynn at that age, just like that. It's awesome when you can capture just how beautiful they are on camera!

Unknown said...

Look at that tan! Woo hoo! I'm glad you had such a good holiday. So fun to be with family and friends. Coconut Lindt?! That sounds wonderful!

Holly said...
