Awesome Day!

Every year we fill out brackets for the NCAA basketball tournament. And every year the winner gets to pick a place to go eat dinner. This year we all did pretty bad. Not one of us had one team left in the final four. We tallied up the scores and L was the big winner this year. He picked Lambert's. We made a day of it..... We took in a ferry ride and an afternoon at a state park on the way. At the state park we played and saw lots of nature..... 30 turtles and 10 snakes kind of nature! I added a couple of pics:)

Happy Easter 2013

Happy Birthday Our Sweet Girl!

I know five seconds ago I was chasing this baby around and BAM out of no where she is four! Princess K you are so sweet and we love you very much. K had a great party with great friends.

Hoops!

The boys have started basketball. They are two games into their season and doing great.

Some Stitchin for E

Just finished up a few outfits for E. This dress is Ottobre 6/2012-03 Talvikki. I used a knit from Joanns. The baby coat is a cream velour from Joanns. The pattern is Ottobre 6/2012-09 Lintunen. And lastly,the elephant dress is Ottobre 4/2012-03 Autumn Bouquet. I found the elephant knit at Hancocks during the summer. I am so glad I held on to it. So sweet! Oh and the pink leggings... You guessed it Ottobre too.

I have done quite a bit of sewing for the boys too. I will show you those next;)

Robes for Everyone

I made these for the kids just before Christmas. I really wanted the kids to have them for Christmas morning. I took L and K to JoAnns to pick out the fabric. They picked out a crazy soft fleece that goes everywhere when you cut it. I would have to say it was totally worth the fuzzies on everything, because they loved them!

I used Simplicity 4388. I had to buy 2 sets of size ranges in this pattern. I think this pattern would be a great pattern for someone who wants to make a kid robe, but nothing to complicated.

Happy Birthday M!

This year for M's birthday he got a few surprises! First, he got to go to the movies with his greatest babysitter. Just the two of them. He had a great time and is still telling me about all the treats they ate during the movie. The second surprise happened when he got home from the movies. As many of you know, when my bestie moved last year so did M's. Sooooo luckily they were in town for the holidays. I hope these pics give you some idea of how happy he was to share his birthday with his friend!

Happy birthday our sweet M. You have been a constant gift to us. You keep us laughing and on our toes. (This boy loves a practical joke.)God has mighty plans for you. We love you to the moon and back!
