summer creations: Sand art

This weeks art project was sand art pictures. we took white contact paper and put a construction paper frame around it and sprinkled it with sand of all different colors, and then put a clear piece of contact paper over it. another hit with Emily. I need to find some kind of art class to put her in or something. She loves to create things.



this is the finished projects! see the joy in Zachary's face.hahahehe!



This is a craft that We came up with for Girls Camp next week. I put one together before so they can put it together up at camp. It's a necklace holder or ribbon holder or what ever the girls would like to do with it.

Summer creations!!

So in the attempt to keep my children away from the TV, I have looked through all my family fun magazines and found some fun and easy things to do with them. this is the first week so we did tie-dye discs. we drew designs on a cut out coffee filter and put a hole in the middle and made a wick and placed that in water and watched the ink blend like tie-dye. Emily was excited about this, it was right down her artistic alley.

Arizona!!

Look how cool they are, in person they are so much cooler to see than in pictures. and they are everywere. I just think they are cool.

So this last week the kids and I went with my Mom,Dad,and Taylor to Phoenix to see Philip and Amber and the Kids. Philip was Graduating from Pharmacy school and we were packing them up to move to St. George. we got there on Wednesday, played at the park on Thursday and the Graduation and Mom's birthday were on Friday. we swam in the pool, had BB Q's and Birthday Cake for Mom's Birthday. then on Saturday we got up, packed the horse trailer up with all of there stuff and hit the road to St. George. it was a fun trip, and I never want to drive a car again, but fun non the less. I glad that I went.
