Tell someone you love them!


As a mother, I often daydream about the day my little
Drezden
will surprise me with her words of

love.

This just reminds me of how we need to feel love
and to give love!

So I give to all of you a challenge...
a challenge to tell someone that you love
"I love you"

FYI

Just so you all know... I am starting to use the blogger upload for pics so now you can click on some of the pics and they will magically be larger! Well, sometimes too large. But thought you all would like to know!

The Market Skirt

So I saw this skirt here and I knew I had to try it! It was so easy and so fun to make for Drezden! If any of you are interested in making it too here is the tutorial
! I haven't done the pocket yet, but I might just leave it off... I think it is way cute without the pocket too!


Drezden loves playing in the sink I mean doing the dishes! ;P

See how happy she is! I hope she is always this excited about the dishes!!
A mother can always wish!!!

Just some more pics of the final product



I got a new toy!

So I have been wanting a sewing machine for some time now... For a while there I had my MIL extra industrial sewing machine but it just wasn't working out. So Yesterday I got this one!!! I am way excited to use it and get into the habit of sewing. Wish me luck!

So I tried making Drezden a skirt and top. I think the ruffles on the skirt could be a little smaller... The shirt, turned out okay. I wasn't using a pattern and the top was a little big but still cute so I ended up sewing some red ribbon on. It ended up getting ripped off, but that is okay. Now I need to re-thread the serger that is in my garage and I can make up all sorts of things.I want to try to make this skirt again!
Of course I had to add a pic of Sullivan. Don't mind the dirty floor. It is the entry way into the house... What can you expect???

haha.. Sullivan was eating noodles and has a bit of a cold (I think) and he sneezes... Yep! I went to go wipe his nose and a noodle about 5 in long comes out instead of a booger... What a little bugger! :D to top it off he laughed about it afterward.

(the noodle must have tickled)

Computer Repair Gone Bad

Wow... I am not surprised but still! I am never going to take my computer in to get repaired (not that it needs too) unless I am there watching!

Some new pics!!!

I just can't help but share some cute pics of my kids...
Sometimes I can't help but be thankful for my many blessings and my two beautiful kids.
What a gift it is to be able to bear children and watch them learn and grow.

Alma 7:22-25

22 And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
23 And now I would that ye should be ahumble, and be bsubmissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
24 And see that ye have afaith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
25 And may the Lord bless you, and keep your garments spotless, that ye may at last be brought to sit down with aAbraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the holy prophets who have been ever since the world began, having your garments bspotless even as their garments are spotless, in the kingdom of heaven to go no more out.
