The Nap Time Creations

He came, He finally came! Of course that was four weeks ago but none the less he came. It was a Friday night and I was feeling some contractions and before 6 am on Saturday July 19 I had him. He is perfect! I am only writing about now because we have had baby blessings, weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, and anything else in between. But our sweet baby boy is here!

I have been waiting for July to come for 9 beautiful months now. I can't believe that it is already here! I have loved summer so far. June was perfect weather, especially for Utah. It was in the 70's and never left. 4th of July came and 100 decided that it needed to greet us. I have never been hotter in my life! So up to the lake we went. We played in the water, Sadie built a sandcastle with Uncle Moe and Auntie Kinz. It was perfect. I love when family comes together for fires, s'mores, swimming, boating, and camping. It is my favorite thing. What are your favorite summer activities?

Spring is in full bloom. Easter was so much fun. We went to Idaho for Easter (the weather was perfect). We had an Easter egg hunt and colored eggs and ate way too much candy (more than I'll admit). Sadie loved being with other kids close to her age. Love this age she is in.

For a Fleming Family vacation we went to San Francisco! We had so much fun! Watching a MLB and a NFL game, going to Alcatraz, the Warf, walking down and then up Lombard street (yea I'm that person) and piling 8 people in a 15 passenger van was fantastic! But going on this trip I learned so much of what do when traveling with a baby! I was a mess about the week before trying to plan it all out. When it came down to it I leaned what I did that was great and some things that weren't that great! Do's Take a smaller Diaper bag. I have two different size diaper bags and I took the smaller one. I took just what I needed for baby. Diapers, wipes, food, bottles and spoons. When going through security you can have baby food as long it's sealed, and out of the bag.  Take a stroller with you through the airport, even if you have to transfer planes. The lady checking you in will tag that stroller right up! She slapped a transfer and a pick up at the gate tag and we reached Sa...

I have been trying to find easy quiet books for church. We struggle to stay the entire time and I have found a couple coloring pages that might make it easier on us. First, I came across this gem and couldn't get off the internet for 2 hours.  I printed off shapes, alphabet and numbers. I will be printing off church coloring pictures and adding in pages from the Friend Magazine . I have also decided that now is the time to have Family Home Evening. I have made a FHE book. It has stories, pictures and games. I made it out of Friend magazines . ( Click here to see. ) But I couldn't help what the Family Home Evening Resource book was all about. What was in it? Was it easy to use? Was it so old, no one cared anymore? By looking at it, it is old, but old things are great, Right? I thumbed through it last night, and I am super excited to use it. I can't wait! Monday night is not getting here fast enough! Loaded with lessons, games, activities, treats, puzzles, songs, etc. FH...

Sorry I haven't been around, I have been crazy busy! (I believe summer is in full swing!) My Missionary brother, Marshal, came home and it has been a whirlwind of fun. Why such a crazy week? Well that is because my next brother, Tanner, is leaving, today to be exact. We had one week all together! So what made it so crazy? Let me show you! First we had to make a homemade "Welcome Home" Banner.   Then hug him at the airport!  Let him meet his niece for the first time, and last have all 8 people take a selfie photo! (We did it) So here it is the crazy week, are you ready? Pick up Missionary Go Boating (or wait to go boating) Take Family Pictures Go to the temple together Have a Homecoming and a Farewell the Same day and see family and friends. And yes this is one side of my family Boys go to Lagoon with cousins Girls go Shopping  Say goodbye to the next missionary! Like I said, I have been busy! I am grateful for my...

We made it through our holiday adventure! As a family we went up to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho! We tubed the river, went to the foam fest, watched fireworks some of us slept, played bingo, went fishing and ate S'mores. We had a great time being together as a family! What did you do for the 4th of July?

It is coming closer! That day where we eat hot dogs, hamburgers, set off fireworks, and stand in awe of how lucky we are to live in a free country! But how to pull of such a memorable day? You don't have to go far to make a memory. Check you home town. Most cities and towns do festivals on the 4th of July. If your town doesn't check the closest one.  Have a party at you house! Invite you friends and family to come over to celebrate. Whatever you choose to do with you family that day. Speak kindly to each other, choose to have happy memories.  Whatever you choose to do for that day, I hope it is a good one. If you need more ideas about what to do that day check my Pinterest board here . Happy 4th of July!! See you Friday!!

I love to take pictures! I take them all day long. On my Nikon Camera and on my phone. Along the way I have found a couple things that help me take great pictures. Lighting. Open the blinds, go outside and get as much natural light as you can.  Take pictures of moments you don't want to forget. I hate it when my phone is dead or my camera is not around and I have to use my husbands phone. I don't want the picture on his phone I want it on mine.  Which brings me to 3. I am selfish with pictures. If they are of my kid, I want a copy. Don't be afraid to ask for a copy of the picture.  If you want to print you pictures, find a good printing company. Walgreens, Costco, Sam's Club are all great local ones. (Me and Walmart have disagreements.) For GREAT looking pictures go to Shutterfly , or  Persnickety Prints . Back up those pictures!!! I can't stress that enough. I back mine up on CD's and on an external hard drive.  Last but not least, Have fun taking t...
