The pirate and the ladybug washing windows.

We know how to have a good time! :)

Happy Father's Day!!!

We love you and miss you tons! Have a wonderful day and we will hopefully see you soon!

We love the park!

Simple joys

I have so many things to write about, but I thought this little bit of joy from the park today really needed to take precedence... :)

Thanks to our dear friend Esmeralda and big brother Colby for providing the entertainment!

May all of your days be filled with this kind of joy!

Macy loves peek-a-boo!

1, 2, 3...4!!!!

Today my first-born turned 4. It has been an amazing four years with this little guy. I suppose that four years and two sisters later I can't technically call Colby my baby, but he always will be. I am so proud of his smarts, his sweet disposition and his loving nature. He loves music, creating art, cars, movies, traveling, friends, his family and the color red.

We celebrated with Curt's family while we were at the lake and will celebrate with my parents when they come for a visit in a couple of weeks. So today, instead of a party, we spent the day filled with some of his favorites: McDonald's PlayPlace for a long lunch (with a couple of friends), cartoons, playing baseball in the backyard and of course just one more present. For his special birthday dinner he requested mac 'n cheese, hot dogs in a bun, strawberries and Kool-Aid.  When I tucked him into bed tonight I asked him if he had had a good birthday. He said yes and then informed me that he doesn't want to be anything when he grows up because he wouldn't be able to play as much. Glad to see he has his priorities in order! :)

Happy Birthday, Colby!!!

 

Yay!!!

Today we are leaving for the lake!!!

I'm sure I will have lots of fun things to share when we return next week. 

Everyone have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Sweet Pea in a Pod

Since having Macy I haven't been able to do much in the way of crafting or sewing. I still have a thousand projects I want to do, they have just been put on the back burner, especially since she has had colic so bad. However, I have managed to get one or two things done, this one being my favorite.

It is called a Pod Swaddler and it is WONDERFUL! I came across the pattern before Macy was born, but didn't buy it then because Colby and Chloe didn't really care to be swaddled. Macy, on the other hand, almost requires swaddling to sleep, so this was perfect for us. It is a just a swaddling blanket/pouch thing that ties and actually keeps her swaddled. Not to mention, the pattern is super easy to sew. I have fabric to make another one, I just need to come up with some more time to do it!

I have made a few things for Chloe's room, but not everything is complete and I am not happy with clock I made. Eventually I'll get to those things as well. :)
