A few weeks ago I got together with some good friends for a fun day of sewing. Jenn & Steph - you guys are awesome, I love ya! I look forward to many more sewing days to come!



I can always count on Em for a pose:) Love ya!

I finished a page last night. If I could just make myself finish a page everynight I might get caught up. Or...maybe not!

Spring Break is over! I am so sad:( So much for the daily blogging. Oh well! It was a pretty uneventful yet wonderful week. I spent most of my time just hanging out with my cute kiddos watching movies, playing games, sewing, and lots of playing outside-weather permitting.

Noelle spent some time turning this

into this. I am so pround of her.



Logan learned to do this:


He is so, so AWESOME!

And Lila did alot of this

and this:


How long until summer break? I can't wait!

I am just saying hi because it is midnight and I am tired, but when I make a promise to my girl I don't want to not fulfill it. Let me ask a question. Even if it's after midnight is it still considered today if you have not gone to sleep? I think so!

This is my post for the day. Love ya Noelle!

I know you will hate this picture but, oh well, you make me laugh!

We are a family who loves to play games. We have Logan the SORRY champ, Noelle the social butterfly who loves APPLES TO APPLES and WOULD YOU RATHER, Gavin who loves the newest addition BLOKUS, and for me nothing beats a couple decks of playing cards. I wonder which game will become Lila's favorite. Every family night Logan asks if we can play a game. It makes me so happy to see my children having fun. There is nothing better than a game to get them laughing and talking. I love to see their little minds at work trying to figure out their next move. We have more games than can fit in a picture, so here are a few of our favorites.

As I mentioned in my last post, this week is Spring Break. I have promised Noelle that I will post on my blog every day of the break. Yikes! She is planning on doing the same. This is actually a good opportunity to do a little catch up. I have had this list of post ideas running around in my head for the past year, so now might be a good time to clear my head.

Because the day is coming to an end and I want to stick with my committment to Noelle I am posting a few of the digi scrapping layouts I have finished. I wish these were all recent pages but unfortunately I am way far behind on my scrapping.


This is my Grandma (Ninnie) who will be 93 this month!


I just can't get enough of her.


You have to love soccer season!


Fun stuff. Lila was only 2 weeks old. So teeny, tiny.


The birthday poster I made for my Niece. I love you Ellie!


Again...I just can't get enough of that face:)

Hmmmm...I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

So, I am doing better. Only a week and a half between posts rather than a year and a half. A step in the right direction I must say. This week I have been busy helping some of my wonderful friends with a few sewing projects. I was also able to work on a few of my own projects...a quilt for a friend who is having a baby, a quilt for myself (in bright springy colors because I am so sick of winter), and some new Easter skirts for my girls. I am so happy with how they turned out. Can I just say that I love Heather Bailey fabrics especially the Nicey Jane line which is what I used to make my girls skirts. I will post pictures of the kids wearing the clothes when it warms up enough to actually take them outside for some photos. I am so excited this week is Spring Break. Noelle and I have plans to make a few more skirts for her to wear this summer. She is excited to be making them for herself. She has turned into this very capable young woman...what happened? I was able to snap a few pics of Noelle so she could post on them on her blog. I'm not playing favorites I promise...she is the one of my children who is willing to cooperate when I get the camera out.
