Feeling Crafty

Feeling Crafty

It's about 8:30 on a Saturday night & I am picking out Colby's clothes, for church early the next morning.

And I realize that all his church shirts are either Dirty or too small. So any normal crafty mama would rather take 30 minutes for a craft project vs. a load of laundry :) right?

So here it is a

Super Cute Tie Onesie

It actually took less than 15 minutes.

Love It....

I tried to do a little Matchy Match with Daddy!

Here is the Website for the Tutorial

Gotta laugh @ the name

Let the Celebration's Begin

Let the Celebration's Begin

January 24th 2008, is a date that Brentie & I refer to as "Our Last Supper" all alone.

On this date we were living in Cleveland OH, I was a week overdue with Kaedyn & was being induced that evening & the Doctor told me to eat a yummy filling dinner.

What better place than IHOP for some Yummy French Toast.

So every year it's now our tradition to take Kaedyn to IHOP

on January 24th to

Celebrate the eve of her arrival.

Yummy Birthday Sundae

Sweet Story

While finishing our dinner this year a really nice lady came up to our table and told us

"what a Beautiful Little Family we had"

moments like that always melt my heart when complete strangers say something that makes you feel so happy. Anyways she basically said enjoy these precious younger years because our precious little one's grow up so fast. Then she handed Kaedyn &Colby each $1.00 just because she thought they were so cute and sweet. Kaedyn obviously responded with a huge Thank You, and was so excited for a Birthday dollar. When the lady heard that she quickly grabbed her purse and handed Kaedyn $5.00 bill & told her to have a very happy Birthday and said goodnight..

Is that just the sweetest thing every :)
