A sweet little dress...

This is my next project!
I got it here


And here is stuff that I am going to use! I LOVE the brown floral and it was my inspiration fabric. Both girls have red shirts hanging around so hopefully it turns out. More importantly these days, hopefully Reese likes it:) She is a tough cookie right now to please.
Oh, and I think I am going to make these to match with the scraps! Thanks Libby:)

Christmas Goodies

So these are what I decided to make some of my favorite people for Christmas this year. I kept seeing cute aprons everywhere and decided that we all need something pretty to wear in our kitchens! I sure do hope they enjoy them. I had fun making 12 sets of aprons and potholders!
(The girls and I's matching aprons is next)

"Oh my" is all I have to say!

I am so far behind in blogging, so I think I will just start fresh in 2010!

I sure do hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Ours was blessed with lots of wonderful time with family and many wonderful new gifts. (And maybe a few unwanted pounds:))

It has taken me a week or so to be appreciative of my Christmas holiday. I woke up Christmas Eve morning so prepared. And...it all went to H*@# in a hand basket:) I will start off by explaining that we made a "special arrangement" with Santa to come to our house late the 23rd so that we could have Christmas morning on Christmas Eve. This was because Jason was working Christmas Day.

All the stockings were hung with care (filled to the brim), the tree was packed with presents, and a wonderful chistmas breakfast was ready. But my poor little Payt woke up with a 103 degree fever and a runny nose. We managed through gifts, but she just kept crying and saying "ow". So finally at 11:30 I ran her into the pediatrician (thank goodness for holiday hours) and it turned out she had a double ear infection, double eye infection and a UTI. Really??? Well Merry Christmas to her:(


We managed, and she is all better. And I am finally accepting the fact that I was sooo prepared, but really, I had no control. What will happen, will happen. And after all, we are all healthy and happy and having to re-design our house for the kids new toys! Nothing to complain about!



***I finally got my camera working again in time for Christmas, so I at least have some new photos to share.

I will be back soon to show you what I made some of my favorite people for Christmas:)

So what do you guys think? Do you think Payton liked it? I think not! What a horrible mother I am:) I just had to get my Santa photo (the same Santa every year for 6 years now). My poor baby. At least she stopped as soon as I picked her up again. All for the sake of tradition:)
And then there was Reese, the 1st year she was actually excited! She told him everything she wanted:) And everything her Daddy wanted too:) My sweet girl!
Merry Christmas...

So my camera seems to beon the fritz:( So much so that I can't even get the pictures off of it. So no new pics...Just wanted wish everyone Happy Holidays!

My sweet little Man...

This is going to be my idea of an obituary, so if you are feeling emotional, this is your warning!

Yesterday Jason and I made the hardest desicion we have yet to make. Our sweet little man Jack had just gotten old and it was his time.
A little over 10 years ago, I was driving on a dark road in my hometown and had to swerve to miss two little beagles. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw two more cars do the same. I decided to pull over at 11:00 at night and both dogs jumped in my car. Since there was a boy and a girl, I called them "Jack and Jill". I tried desperately to find their owners to no avail. I found the little girl a home, but "Jack" just seemed to stick. Jason and I dating at the time, decided to "co-parent" him from two homes!
Since he was our first child, we had him be our ring-bearer at our wedding, and was never far from our side. He was even gracious when we decided to bring another dog home to keep him company since I was then working a full-time job. Little did we know, he could have cared less if he had someone to play with. We really got the puppy for ourselves! We were always trying to get him to be a "dog". We would throw balls for him and he would look at us like "Why did you do that you idiot, now you have to go get that thing!"
But he was the best big brother to all our girls, Bella, then Reese, then Payton. Never growling, never barking, just there to love on and be loved.
I Love you Jackson Brown! You will be in my heart forever...

Without further adew...

Anouncing our version of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell...

We went to a wonderful Halloween party at our friends Steve and Jodi's on friday. The guys are always trying to figure out creative and funny costumes to out-do eachother. I have had much fun the past couple of weeks making our costumes. There is nothing like fitting your husband for a dress and tutu:)
Enjoy:) It is not too often you get to see men dressed up as Tinkerbell. Isn't he sexy???
