Fun in the Sun

Yes, I know you are all jealous. I did get some fun in the sun over President's day weekend. My family went to Dumont Dunes in California. This is our third year in a row going to Dumont and we love it. This year our friends Casey and Mary and their little girl came with us. It was really fun to have them there. The sand dunes there are HUGE and we can't get enough of it.

Wednesday night we stayed over in Mesquite and had dinner at the Virgin River Casino. Sheridyn is all decked out in her Valentine's day outfit.

Then we traveled the rest of the way to Dumont the next morning. We got there and it was like 65 degrees and it was so nice. We played on the sand all day. Then when we woke up it was still pretty nice but it was a little windy so we mostly played at the camp.
We bought Sheridyn so baby goggles down there surprisingly she left them on for a little while. I know they help keep the sand out of her eyes.
But when we woke up of Saturday it was beautiful again and we played, played, played. It was so nice to get out of the snow and have fun. It gave me a little "Spring Fever" though, and when we came home to snow I was sad.

Here is a cute pic of Sheridyn and Lainey having their Valentine cookies before we left to Dumont. They are so cute together and play so good.

CPCS Update

This is a link to the updates they have made on the lead law. Now they are saying that resellers are not affected by this law as long as you are not trying to sale an item that has been recalled. That definitely clarifies SOME parts of the new law. Still small businesses like my Baby Blossom Biz, the update does not clarify a lot of questions that I have. Hopefully this lead law just doesn't get out of control. I will keep us all updated as it progresses. I'm just glad they put a hold on the law for now, so that they can clarify things!!!! Hopefully.....

Oh and a cute pic of some of the new Valentine items on my website www.babyblossom.biz If anyone local wants to order one, just email me at babyblossombiz@gmail.com that way you won't have to pay shipping! The ribbon and bow on the beanies are detachable making it so you can interchange with flowers or other bows.

Sheridyn's New Do & Mad at Congress

I'm so excited Sheridyn's hair is finally getting long enough to play with! We have been waiting for 2 years! She is so patient with me and lets me play with it and do all sorts of things. Today we tried something new and thought it turned out pretty cute. I'm also so excited that her hair is so curly I just love it. I found this fun blog that has lots of girl hair do's, of course Sheridyn's hair is way too short for most of them but some work for now. The blog is

by the way, when you go to her blog scroll down to the very bottom of her first page and read about the "February 10th" issue. Luckily they have put this law on hold for another year for revisions, but still we need to fight it! I along with many many others will be out of business, due to the costs of lead testing. The law is very outrages and would make it so you couldn't even sale your used baby items in a garage sale without having it tested for lead which costs 100's of dollars per item! Everyone needs to fight the Consumer Product Safety Commission on this law from passing even if you don't have a baby store. It affects everybody, and prices for baby items are going to skyrocket!!! I can't believe that congress would try to pass something this crazy, especially during such hard times for everyone right now. I understand the concern of lead in some baby toys that are from China, but to have every item (even material, thread, ribbon etc.) that is handmade here in America have to be tested for lead is crazy. The only way to let ourselves be heard to is write our congressman, Jim Matheson. Here is the website to do that

First Dance Lesson

Sheridyn started dance classes

Sheridyn had her first dance lesson on Wednesday. She was so excited to wear her tutu that I made her and "twirl." She was a little timid at first but then she got into it. She was having a lot of fun until one of the other girls accidentally hit her when she was doing a turn and then she was done. She said she had fun though and she wants to go next week! She was so cute and she actually caught on to the moves pretty good.





Ty had a hair cut!

He has needed one pretty bad for the last couple of months, here are the before and afters. We had to put a sweater on him though because he was shaking like crazy.

Moved In

YEAH. We finally got to move in this last weekend! Well I don't know if you can call it moving in when you still have pretty much everything in boxes. In fact I don't have any pics for this post because I can't find which box my camera is in at the moment! At least I got my computer up and running! Anyways, I want to tell Mary and Casey how grateful we are for them letting us use their trailer for the big move and to everyone that helped and offered to help. We have such great family and friends. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to finally get to move in after all the blood, sweat and tears we have been through the last 7 months building our house. It has definitely been a challenge, but we made it through and it feels so good to look around the house and realize that James and I built it with our own two hands. I can't wait to have a house warming party in a couple months when I get things put together, then all of you will get to see what we have been working so hard on!

Christmas Plus

Well I haven't wrote for a while so I have a lot to catch up on! First of all Danielle's wedding turned out beautiful! It was so much fun, her and Dave make such a cute couple. They are definately made for eachother. We went down to St. George that morning and they were sealed in the temple. Then we went to a luncheon at Ruby Tuesday's. Then we all barely made it home before that horrible snow storm came through. We were all really sad thinking that we wouldn't have very many people show up to the reception because of the storm, but we had a really good turn out. They are so happy and they will be going on their honeymoon in January on a cruise!

The house is coming along good. This was one of James and mine's last projects. We were very impressed with out work it only took us about 5 hours to do the rock! Our house has turned out so nice. I can't believe how much work it has been. We are really burned out and we are just trying to push through the last little bit! We got carpet today!! And we are hopefully going to be moving in next weekend. We will have an open house soon so all of you can see all our hard work!

Christmas was a blast with a two year old!! Of course she was spoiled to death because she is the only grandchild on my side of the family! She had so much fun with all her new toys and presents. In fact she got sick of opening presents and wouldn't do it anymore! She loves this pony that Santa got her it makes noises when you touch it's ears. She calls him "Hehe." She also love the new FOUR-WHEELER! She just slammed on the gas and ran right into the wall. It doesn't go very fast so she can't really get hurt, but she will have to learn to steer! Well I hope that all of you had a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas Colton

Merry Christmas Colton

As most of you know, my little brother Colton is on a LDS mission in California. So for Danielle's wedding reception she wanted him there! Of course he was not able to come home, so we made a life size poster of him and put him in the reception line. It was really funny. Sheridyn really liked it and she gave him kisses. Merry Christmas Colton this post is for you!
