Strawberry Days Esports Competition

Oh, yeaaaah–I’m pretty proud of these kids! They all entered the ESports competition for Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove. Such brave souls. I was way too chicken–but I did come to watch.

Jillian, Lyndi and Rhen all entered the Dr. Mario tournament.

They played through the rounds and got pretty far.  At one point there were people standing outside the school windows so that they could see the screens!

Some guy came over by me and started complaining about all the people that had beat him. I sheepishly said, “Yeah, that’s my daughter,” and “That’s my other daughter,” and “That’s my son.” All he said in return was, “Wow.”

I swear, I tried to keep a straight face. We will not discuss how well it worked.

Our boy entered the Smash Bros tournament because it’s his particular specialty. Watch out everybody else!

Rhen and this fellow got to the finals…

but of course…

there can be only one winner!!

No surprise to me who that was!

Congratulations Rhen!!!

But wait!! Right after that–we had another winner in the Smash Bros category!! Congratulations boy!!

I taught them everything they know.

BAHAHAHAhahahahaha!

What a fun time.

Hanging out with winners!

Heh, heh.

 

 

My Chosen Girl

I have never seen anyone consistently have more fun with a project than this sweet girl has had being an extra in The Chosen series.

They are given quite specific costume guidelines to follow but this one…

is the most creative yet!

I mean, look at the colors…

and look at the textures…

and look at the fabrics–all so wild and fun.

But the best thing for this mama heart is…

to look at that smile!

Have fun honey! I love you.

Nativity 3.0

Jillian’s turn for a Nativity set.

It’s so funny to me how they are all from the same pattern…

they take on their own personality.

Happy Birthday Jillian…or Merry Christmas to come.

Love you honey.

Mom

 

 

Jolly Little Snowman

Snowmen seem to be all the thing these days, so when I saw this pattern, I desperately wanted to make it for my sweet Jillian–who loves snowmen! It took a bit of tweaking to get everything they way I wanted it–but in the end he’s just what we wanted. Check out his cute little stick arms and mittens! And what can we say about that carrot nose?

Ohhhh, my, but he turned out cute!
