Sky View Swimming took Region!

Last night, Chase competed with Sky View High School at the region swim meet. He did amazing! He dropped 4 seconds on one event and 2 seconds on another and placed! For the first time in 20 years, the boys at Sky View won region and for the first time in 19 years, the girls at Sky View took region, it was a total sweep! We are so excited for Chase and Sky View. Even though Chase had a sore shoulder, he pulled off a great meet! 

This week Sierra talked me into going to the Relief Society activity and I got to visit with some great friends in the ward.

I finally got around to taking a picture of this beautiful piece that Ipaco received from Rick's wife made with his work shirts.

Randomness of 2015

It is still so hard to believe that we are to 2015. In one more year, I will have been graduated from high school for 10 years. CRAZY! I have been getting back into a routine of things now that the holidays are over. I have been working at Ipaco (as one of my roommates and cousins said, "the dude store") and then also Embroidery Central. As I got in my car the other day, I looked at the parking lot at Ipaco and was reminded of my roommate telling me that if the cars in the lot were trucks and motorcycles, it was a dude store.

I have also been watching Carson in the afternoons, cleaning Ipaco once a week and then I have been watching my friends' little girl once a week for a couple of hours. Then of course there is my Etsy shop. It was hopping the first bit of January and then slowed down for a week or so, but it has been picking back up. I have also been hoping to get some more people involved in Heritage Makers. I am getting more comfortable with my new calling and I would say that I'm even beginning to enjoy it. The kids really keep me on my toes though! I'm sadly out of shape since doing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes as fast as we could with the little ones (I was also in heels) made me sore for a couple of days! I have found some projects that I have made with Heritage Makers for primary! I made this for my binder and I also made these cute inserts for these  plastic small paint cans that I got to use for some things.

I did get a Plinko board to use for primary and both Carson and my friends' little one love to play with it! And even though it isn't Christmas anymore, so is the Christmas hippo that sings "I Wanna Hippopotamus for Christmas". 

We got a couple of new employees at Ipaco at the beginning of the year and one has decided that he needs to suck up to me, so a few times I have got to work and found this on my desk. It always makes me chuckle.

I'm getting super excited to go to Arizona to see Heather. She sent me a picture of Carter this week and I miss him so much! 

I am also trying to nail down when I am going to go visit Kayla in St. George, but I am hoping to go spend some time with my friends before the newest nephew arrives sometime in May. 

I also came across this awesome rose and I just think it is stunning! I found some time to cover these wood rabbits I got a while ago with fabric last weekend, while my friend was here using my sewing machine to do a quilt.

I finished a couple of custom blankets and a carseat cover for my friend too. I think they turned out adorable!

My Shipping Manager

So I have a new shipping manager in my Etsy shop! He loves weighing the packages and places the shipping stickers on them.

I'm also the awesome aunt who found this Christmas Hippo that plays "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", which Carson really liked this year. He loves it.

Looking at My 2014

I like to think back on my year to all the things that I experienced, learned and so on. Here is what I came up with for 2014.

Was my biggest year so far with CutesieBee.
I accepted a new calling in Primary, as the chorister...

I had the opportunity to do a lot more custom orders for my shop!

I went on my longest trip alone, I flew to Arizona to see my friend, Heather and to meet my newest nephew, Carter!

I went on my first date in over 5 years and it was a fun one!

I signed up to be a Heritage Makers consultant after doing my own projects for a few months and loving them!

I lost a dear friend in April, this was a new and trying experience for me.

I hit 26 years old and that is what I believe is when you are really an adult if you aren't married. Yep, I had to get on my own health insurance. Yuck!

I managed a pretty moderate year as far as health issues go.

I started a newish job at Embroidery Central. I will be doing the bookkeeping.

Found out that we are getting another addition to the family in 2015, another nephew!

Had tons of fun playing with Carson who is growing up so fast and has such a fun, sweet personality!

I went to Time Out For Women with my mom and sisters.

I'm sure that there is a lot more, but then I have some great things to look forward to in 2015:

Learning and growing in my new calling.

Going to visit one of my best friends, Heather, in Arizona.

Going to visit one of my best friends, Kayla, in St. George.

Getting another nephew in May.

On to another full year!

New Years Trip 2014-2015

We went on a New Years trip again this year, we went back down to Moab. It has been a while since we went and Dad got us an awesome 3 bedroom house to rent while we were there. It was nice and relaxing and even though it was cold, I think it was warmer than Cache Valley. We left on New Years Eve and did have to stop at the mechanic's on our way out of town because our battery was fried. While we were there we got to relax and introduce Mom and Dad to Once Upon A Time. We also went to Canyonlands and Dad and Chase went out a couple of times without the girls to take pictures. It was really fun and it was wonderful to get away. Also while we were there, we got to find out what Chelsea and Connor are having, another boy! Carson, along with all of us, is super excited to be getting a brother!

Of course on the way home, we stopped to have an early dinner at Red Robin, our favorite.
