From today , , , ,

One week and we will have a new little princess in our lives

One month I will be 43 years old (ugh)

Two months I will be celebrating my 8 year wedding anniversary

So much to look forward too and celebrate

Aren't we glad we keep moving forward in life

Bike

Missy Moo got this bike for Christmas

We've had a hard time getting her to try and ride it this spring

but the last couple days she has been wanting to ride it

she finally has the hang of it and constantly asks to go outside and ride

Today it is 105 outside and she is riding her bike

Ready - Get Set - Go!

She is even maneuvering our terrible uneven sidewalks

Daddy's motto  "if you fall off - you get right back on"

Turning corners is getting better

I am so excited for her learning to ride

She said she wants to show everyone when they come over

Hummm . . . Another step to becoming a big girl

***side note*** later this evening she went around the block 2 times!!

She said she went so fast that daddy had to run to keep up with her  

Baby Sewing

I have been doing some sewing for the baby

I bought this cradle at the Hesston Barn Sale for $20.00 - what a steal!!

It only had primer on it, so I put a fresh coat of paint on it one afternoon

(some of you may ask what Russ was doing - see him laying on the porch swing)

 I had seen this fabric at our local fabric store (Charlotte's)
and fell in love with it, but would could I use it for?
Once I got the cradle, I knew this fabric would be perfect

This blanket I made for the baby is made out of leftovers

from a dress I made for London last fall

This is one of my favorite Amy Butler prints

The only part I had to buy was the boarder and backing

I asked London if she thought the baby would like it

She promptly told me no but that she liked it

Made some burp rags out of scraps

a few of these were also bought at the Hesston Barn Sale

Receiving blankets

I did not make these - a friend at work made these for me

She asked one day what she could do to help get things ready

I told her I had some material for blankets and it would be great if she could put them together

Thanks Kathy 

I haven't left London out

I made this cute little skirt/short or skort

Not sure what is really is, but she loves it

Nice and full but yet has pants in it

I also made London a dress and top with shorts

I don't have pictures of them

I also made her "baby" a blanket and burp rags

She wanted me to make her "baby" somethings

She will get these after "our" baby is born

I still have several projects I would like to finish

We will see what all gets done

Longest wait ever for fireworks

We decided to go to the fireworks in Wichita on Saturday night

While waiting for some friends

London found this tiny, tiny little toad

It was hard to get a clear picture because he kept jumping out of her hands

So Russ put him on his phone

See how small the guy is?

After putting him back we posed for a picture

They have 3 ponds in this area

Adam and Mia showed up and off to the fireworks

A church was giving out free glow sticks

We waited . . . .

and waited . . . .

and waited . . . .

trying to entertain ourselves while waiting . . . .

still waiting and hour later . . . . . people were starting to leave

We had to wait until the ball game was over

CRAZY

I hope next year they think I through a little better

it was 1100 PM when they started

London did enjoy them

She just didn't like the loud ones

Shoe Train

London made a "shoe train"

It started in our room and went down the hall to Keyton's room

Who's ready for the 4th?

London is ready

Hat, shirt, flag, and cowboy boots

She made her shirt at daycare and the other accessories

She asked me to take picture to show everyone
