Making T-Shirts With Dad

Angelica was out having fun her sisters for a few days, and so I had the kids for the day. I thought it'd be fun to do a craft with the kids, and I'd been wanting to try out printable, iron-on t-shirt transfers for a while.

We first started out planning to use some clip art images found on the net, but the kids suggested drawing, and I thought that was a great idea! It would be really cool to see your own artwork on a shirt!

We used an app called Paper for our iPad. Adia drew a picture, then we gave it to Evelyn. Evelyn did such a fun, colorful picture that Adia wanted it on her t-shirt too! It's lovely too!

I also made a shirt, a flag from a video game I like, and it was fun to use. All in all, we had fun and spent less than $25 for materials.

The Story

We found out we were expecting our first mid-March 2008, our little bundle of joy would arrive sometime early November. June rolled around, we went to find out if it was a boy or a girl. Much to our excitement, it was a girl, much to our surprise, she had a sister in there too. We were so excited, and shocked at the same time. And because there were 2 the doctor moved my due date up to early October. Mid-September comes up and I'm sent to the hospital, I'm in labor. Evelyn Mae and Adia Ashley were born the morning of September 23rd.

The Story Take III

We found out we were expecting #4 in early June, not quite ready to share the news we kept our excitement to ourselves for a while. We told the kids but were fairly certain they had forgotten when Neil's whole family came, visited, and left without a word about our bun in the oven. A couple of weeks later, we had some family over for a 4th of July BBQ. Evelyn was admiring Chavonne's 5 month old Emmett and decided to announce "Angelica has a baby in her belly!" Everybody was excited and I was very surprised since I had decided my kids had forgotten. I moving into the 2nd trimester now, and looking forward to finding out the gender of our sweet little love bun.

Ghost In A Jar

Neil sings and plays guitar in a band called Ghost In A Jar. With his friends Tom at the drums, and Peter playing the bass, they started playing together in April of 2006. They've played at a lot of different places including Starry Night, Muse, and The Loft at Ozz in Provo, Comedy Circuit in Midvale, and at various other places and events. Its been fun to listen to them progress and work on writing their songs and having such a great time together. Sadly in April of 2011 they went their separate ways.
