A Dobbins' Day

The other day Cannon asked me where my belly button was. I said its right here, its just flat right now. He said no, "Its lost!" Well today I will go and find it (and my new baby girl!). The next post should be an update all about her, so stay tuned and wish me luck!

Audrey: "Will you take my picture on top of the ball?" Me: "I'm not sure I can lift you because I'm carrying a sleeping Cannon." Audrey: "Let's just try." Me: "O.k." Audrey: "Its too hot." Me: "Do you still want your picture?" Audrey: "Yes." Audrey: "The sunshine is bright." Audrey: "Can I see my picture?" Me: "Let's just go inside the store first."

I just love this little princess! She was all dressed up to go to her cousin Lily's princess party. Of course she had to pose for a picture before we left! She had a great time getting her make-up and nails done. Lily's party was decorated so adorable and even had a large 3-D castle to go into. Audrey loved it. She told me that she got to eat chocolate covered strawberries, which combine 2 of her favorites. She had a great time.

My sisters and I did a super craft day during General Conference to get our houses ready for Halloween. We had a huge list of projects to work on and a house full of kids (6), but we presevered and the results are amazing. I love Halloween decorations and I am so happy that we were able to make these ourselves for a very thrifty price!

When our dear friends moved across the country we acquired their kitchen table. We were happy to have a larger table (it will seat 8!), but I wasn't too thrilled with the slats on the top. Those slats collected crumbs and spills which never seemed to come clean. So for my birthday I asked for the table to be refinished. My wonderful husband came up with the idea to fill in the cracks with epoxy. He then spent time blowing out all the crumbs, rubbing it with stain and preparing it. After a week or so of "DO NOT TOUCH THE TABLE!!!" I am in love with it. We can now do homework and projects without things getting stuck in the grooves and all spills and crumbs are easily wiped away. I know it was a big project (and expensive), but I am very grateful that it turned out perfectly. Thanks Sweetheart!

Thank you to the grocery clerks that hand out stickers to my kids. It helps to make the errands we have to do a lot more fun.
