My first Quilt!!!

WHOOO-HOO!! It is about time. I have always loved quilts and knew they took a long time to make and they were made with love. Since I am a scrap-booker and new to the world of sewing, my mother in law took me to a huge quilt convention last year. It was amazing all the things we saw. I got inspired and picked up an "easy" mini quilt. uhhh-huh! Easy does not cut it! It was a little harder than I anticipated, but I am holding my own. I still need to add the backing and finish the jack of the flag. Will post again when closer to finished!

Zoo Trip

Although we have lived here for three years, we still had not made a trip to the zoo. We heard Houston had a great zoo and we decided it was time (and Parker was ready too) to visit. The weather was just beautiful and we even landed a primo parking spot. Parker was fascinated by the water fountains and the birds. We had an awesome day... maybe we can tackle Disney next, NOT!

BIG BROTHER!!!!

We have awesome news that Parker is going to be a big brother! We found out a few weeks ago and we are reeling with excitement and more information. My doctor has been out of town for two weeks and we are still waiting to get an appointment. Will post as soon as we know more. Keep us in your prayers, Thanks!

Parker's Second!

Ok I still can NOT believe my little monkey man is 2! We had his birthday party last weekend and we all had a great time. The John Deere theme was just too cute for words (he was too, little farmer). I successfully made his cake with out burning it, or our house! I think it turned out cute and tasty too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY my little P~Man! :)

Hey everyone, I know it has been a while. We have been busy the last few months. Some good, some not so good. We just finished up a kitchen remodel and that has kept us crazy. I started teaching again and I have been playing lesson planning catch up. We lost my dog Purdy to a bad seizure that she never came out. I had her for ten years and we miss her terribly! More posts to come soon! God Bless to you all!

This Christmas I have been busy putting my sewing machine to good use and making a lot of the gifts. I took my first attempt at making a dress for my niece, Brooklyn. The one sin the boutiques can cost a pretty penny and I did not see the colors I really wanted. So I think it turned out pretty cute. Can't wait to see it on her in the Spring!

My parents celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary this halloween and I had a hard time deciding what to get the parents who have everything! My mom loves photos and my dad loves anything to do with my son. So I got creative and pulled out my new sewing machine! I think that they LOVED it!
