My Inner Feeling For Knitting

 I ordered the two skeins of yarns. Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll Tonal. Color: Springtime green/yellow. You normal see the yarns in the stores that already had been winded into a ball. This yarn is not yet winding into a ball. Its come in skein. When I first time saw this kind of skein, I was surprised and afraid to mess up. I never see this way until I had become knitter. I went to a real yarn store in Salt Lake City. I was like faint and wanting to fell down after I entered in a store with Derek. I wanted everything from the yarn store.

 I actually never see this umbrella swift to hold a skein of yarn. I was fantastic when I saw this. A woman asked me if I want a skein into a ball, I was like huh? She showed me. I love it! I used to wind a stick with my own hand. That's forever and pain in butt. Umbrella swift is faster and easy! So I ordered them a few months later. Love love love it. I can't resist. I will trade anything for wool, ha ha.

Once upon a time, when I was winding a yarn into a ball from a wood stick. Derek had to hold a skein with his hands up. Derek hates it too. Especially when a telephone ringing, kids' whine/bother, or our favorite TV shows on. It's disturbing our focus thing.

 A ball winder.

 When I wind this ball winder, it was like you were looking at a floor of road when a car is moving to a high speed by car's window. I just love to see 'whoosh' road than human's slow walk. Anyway, I still have to be careful or I could get it tangled. Not fun!

 Cool, huh? Yes?

 Ta-Da! What a beautiful ball. A strand from center is easy to pulling out than fell down and rolled and got it tangled by the kids. The kids are "my cats play with the yarns".

 I knit the swatches to check my gauge. I like the color. Perfect for summer color.

This project that I am working on next now with this green yarn. It's very thin jacket. The yarn is fingering weight. Pretty, huh? No?

I am planning to knit up to elbows length.

Our Saturday

 We went to Macey's last night. I saw these. Why not to buy them. I only ate about half of them. Derek ate them all, well not all- the kids also had them too. But Emma was too afraid to eat it because it is a ladybug cake that she scared of the bugs. Derek tried to gave a watermelon cake to her, she was slowly eating it. I think that's funny and cute. Wyatt ate like a pig. He loves it too. He still has a frosting on his mouth. Emma only eats star cookie.

 Wyatt wanted to take the pictures, so he took the picture above by himself. I held a camera so it won't touch the cake. I hate clean. Good job, Wyatt.

Hello sunshine! They woke up at 6:30AM!!! Mommy is so tired! Blame at summer season's sun sunrise early through our windows. I went to bed late last night. I wanted a hot and peacefully bath. The kids didn't went to their beds until 10PM, the sky doesn't completely out until 9:30PM and their bedrooms are facing west side where the sun was. I told Derek that I am ready for Fall season to come: nasty and idiot grasshoppers are already here in our backyard, and the sun doesn't out until late. The kids' bedtime routine are 8PM. Pppffftt. Oh well.

I am still homesick and spousesick= I don't want go out anywhere, my home is too comfortable right now. We were supposed to go to Clarkston today for Pony Express. I will be tired later today because of woke up early. Derek worked last night. I knew that he will be grumpy today without his sleep. It will affect the kids' moods. He was little grumpy this morning before he went to bed. My feet are hurt. I wore Dr. Martin shoes yesterday that I have them since 5th grade. We went to summerfest, so that's why my feet are hurt from walking around the park. My left pinky toe is hurt from grow-in nail and crack. Hate that. I pulled and nail clipper nail last night to help reduce pain. I miss my husband so much lately. He worked more than about 120 hours. I want to be with him. Today he is off from work, finally! I hate every time when he leaves for work. I am so looking forward for his retired already! But it will be about 40 years from now.

We had fun time at summerfest on main street. There were too many people. We had to use stroller for both kids. Actually 2 seats in one stroller. I don't want them to be lost. We bought pina cola with a real coconut cup and pulled pork with rice. The kids had their snowies drink. After summerfest, we went to Willow Park. A slide was broke so the kids couldn't slide down. They went to a different slide that has a red steep curly slide instead.

Ahh Sighs!

My parents came and picked the kids up to be with them for their grandma's work site in Cache Valley. I had a very nice and quiet break for 3 hours without the kids around in the house. *Sighs* It was so heavenly! I cannot wait for them to go to school so I can be alone again. I caught up cleaned up the house, got myself dressed, and sat down and crocheting. Love it!

I noticed that they went to Hyrum McDonald's. The kids had fun time played in the playground. Wyatt is in his real underwear for 3 weeks now. Yay! I am still proud of him! Now I need to working on Emma's.

Kids' Astronaut Helmet

I love it. When I first time saw this pattern, I wanted to make this for Wyatt. I can simply buy plain white sweater and sweatpants so he can be completely astronaut for Halloween. I started and finished yesterday. I can make football helmet. Just simply adjust the neck helmet into a black i-cords. I used Red Heart Super Savor yarn.

Jordyn's Baby Blessing

Ta-Da! My mom is always the one who is behind a camera. I held Jordyn for 2 days. We went and stayed at the hotel in Coalville. It is way too far from my home. The kids love to swim in hotel. I love free breakfast and Wi-Fi. Derek love 2 separate queen beds. We always kick at each other in our bed. We wanted to have a good sleep without bother each other. The kids were slept in their play pen boxes. The kids love to play with Taylor. Wyatt started officially trained potty. He has been keeping it dry for 2 weeks! Yahoo! Eh, look at me. I lost 20lbs and didn't went down any more now. So I need to start to active exercise again. I want to buy mountain bike and ride a bike around the Cache Valley. I was homesick when I was in Coalville. I miss Logan very much. When we arrived home, I was so happy. We had fun time together with families. After baby blessing, we went straight headed back home. I didn't want to stop by my parents' house. We don't have really fun activity in Coalville. Just had a basic fun hang out with our families. We stayed at Jayden and kelli's house for a few hours.

Dentist

 Yep! I got another retainer. Again. It's helping my bottom teeth to get straight and stay together. I don't want to get them to be apart, because of my toothless on bottom left side. I got infected on my baby tooth, so I had to get it out before it's getting serious problem. It's happened in 2010.

 Wyatt's first cavity filling on bottom left tooth. He will have a second one on June 28 on bottom right side. Oh boy, he loves to eat sugar thingy.

 His lip was swelling. He was playing with it by his teeth chew.

Here my retainer. It's clear color. I had purple with pooh bear on retainer for top teeth before. I never have a retainer for bottom after I had braces. I have new retainer since last week Monday (June 4). My bottom teeth was in pain for 4 days straight. I was so suffer and in pain. I had headache too. Now it's all better, finally! I will wear it for rest of my life. I only can wear it at night time at bedtime. But right now, I have to wear 24/7 until my next visit with dentist. >_

Lamb Booties

 I knit the soles (2) with standard yarn then I woven a buttercup yarn instead knit with it. It's difficult to see with that kind of yarn.

 Kelli wanted pink for Jordyn. I knit them in normal size.

 This is for Taylor's. I used two yarn held together to made it thick fabric. Toddler is wild age. I am happy with the result.

 Kelli also wanted purple for Taylor.

I test them with Emma. She's great modeling. She loves to wear them. She was upsetting when I took them off from her.

I used a bigger needle to get bigger size for toddler. I am so happy with result that I had planning it. Kelli gave me the yarns. I started it on June 3. I finished them on June 10. It's took me a week to knit them. They are very quickly projects.

We Are Silly

Ha ha! These are so precious moments! Derek were at his work(he was working double shifts). I was like- why not to play with our webcam on computer with the kids. It's fun.

Coby Kyros Tablet Cover

Ta-Da! Done! Hope this treat us well. I like the colors together. I have none left to say right now. I am just happy that this project is done.

Outside and Project

 I was thinking about which place to take the pictures of my projects. I looked outside, ohh, it's looking so happy weather outside. But I don't like hot. I do love summer. I don't like sweat. So outside in my backyard is good place to take the pictures.

 Emma took a slide down. We do have our own playground set.

 Wyatt was looking at the insects on our fence. I hate the bugs on fence because another side from our backyard have 5 horses. We, of course, enjoy to watch the horses. I love to watch when the horse lay down and "bath" on a dirty. I think that's cute and funny.

 This project I am making: a cover for our Coby Kyros tablet. The kids are keeping drop it. I don't want it to be worse and break. We tried to find good cover for our tablet at the stores but the price is crazy. I don't want a case that looks like a book. I want cover that is protect around the tablet. It's easy to use than pull a tablet out from sleeve then put it away in sleeve over again and again.

 Look at the kids, they are "WHEE" swing and have fun time.

 We also have seesaw too. We bought it from Walmart.

I called them to look at me when I am taking a picture for them.
