cinco de mayo

 we had a cinco de mayo party at our house

for our fellowship group

autumn and i decorated it all up super cute!

-

i made these bags, i printed them in the printer

and as long as i fed one at a time, they worked!

then when autumn arrived, we realized we didn't have anything to go in them.

#lifeofamom

so we decided we could use them for the pinata candy!

 margarita bar

 an old piece of fabric i found at the goodwill outlet for $1

it wasn't straight, but i put the wonky side to the back

worked out well huh?

 tray from goodwill outlet (prob 25 cents)

bottles: autumns from thrift

jar from who knows, filled with limes

small jars filled with mexican candy

 mustaches

 autumn and i made this bunting during a nap

it's tissue paper folded and cut like you would cut snowflakes out of coffee filter.

then i just folded and edge over string and glued it on.

we strung it up around this tent for the pinata!

 with the awesome mexican pop displayed

it was a great party!!!!!! thanks everyone!

*sad, i never got a pic of the yarn ball bunting... super cute.

hazel dedication at church

hazel got dedicated on sunday

she wore what i did when i was baptized

how adorable is she?

she was really fussy during the dedication

and right when they started she had a HUGE spit-up

then was crying the whole time...

but at least we can blame it on her having a cold

Obama in the Library

Obama was like 100 yards from me.

We found out Friday that Obama was campaigning in Denver,

Sunday,

right next to our church,

behind the library.

wow!

*

we rode our bikes, so we wouldn't have to pay $1800 for parking

and so we wouldn't hit traffic.

*

we wanted to see him, but it was in the middle of church

and i thought i might get mauled.

so many people.

i think like 100,000.

see the people all in line?

this was just in front of our church

all the racks were used up.

zoom in to see scooters

more people

the 'brary

aspen, like a papoose

for the 8 mile ride home

these were all taken from the ole phone.

i could hear him talking, but didn't know what he was saying.

It must have only been for about 1 hour,

b/c people started pouring out at 12:30,

and it started at 11:30?!?!?

anyways, thought that was cool!
