Look at what I made!


So last weekend I forgot to bring us church clothes when we came out to Lilburn. We really don't have a lot of money, but I thought we will just go to Wal-Mart and get me a skirt and James some stuff. WRONG!!! The cashier lady was way rude. I am glad she was. I still had my $30 and you know what? I have been ready this awesome blog Sutton Grace. She saved my life and a trip to Athens. You see she makes clothes out of clothes she already has.

So I went hunting in my in-laws house. I found an old dress shirt of Greg's and did some alterations and made James a very nice dress shirt! For you guessed it, FREEEEE!!!!!! My awesomeness did not stop there. I needed a skirt so I found a pair of old dress pants that Adam had. I cut the leg seam and sewed the legs together and made me a nice skirt. I am awesome and so blessed. Heavenly Father knew I did not have the money to buy us clothes so he helped me make something awesome and functional when I really had nothing to work with. It was so cool.


Here I go tooting my horn again.
I really do love my craft blogs. I just made an awesome Christmas decoration. I took a piece of scrapbook paper, a cup, and some tissue paper. You know what I made? Some awesome expensive looking home decor. Expensive meaning it would have cost me anywhere from
$5-$10 to buy at Target.

I just love being creative and having other people tell me what I can do with my creativity.

happy Early James Birthday!





Happy early Birthday to my little boy. I can't believe he is so big. Where did the time go? I love my little boy and he will always be my little boy. He has grown so much!!!!

He loves Thomas the Train, not really the show, but the train. He loves to play with the train set at Barnes and Noble and the Education toy store at the mall. He also enjoys watching TV, playing sports, especially soccer, and eating popcorn, pizza, and cheese. Sounds like someone I know.....

Sneaky pants




Do you see her creeping her way into his bowl. She is one sneaky little girl.


Next thing I knew she had his bowl.



She went to town on the yogurt. This was one determined little girl. Yes, she did end up taking a bath afterwards. She loves baths and tried to get into the tub fully clothed. Which reminds me that her brother had gotten into the tub fully clothed a few months back. He came into the room socking wet. He was very proud of himself, but back to her.





Here are a few shots of her happy yogurt moments. It is never a dull moment in our house.

What's up with us?

Things have been crazy. I am grateful for the summer, but I am ready to have Adam back home and in school. I have missed seeing him on a regular basis and I think his brain will be happy to have Linguistics oozing from it.

I am happy and a bit nervous to report that I will be working two very part-time jobs. I am working at two different shops in downtown Watkinsville, GA. They are Mom and Pop type shops. One is a Span and Patio shop where I will work one day a week and somtimes on weekends and the other is an Organic type store where I will work twice a week. I like both places and the owners so I am sure it will be a good fit. I have been preparing myself for this so it should be good.

I will still be doing Scentsy. I have been getting a lot of business the last few weeks so let's keep up the good work on that end. I really like selling Scentsy and wished it would be my only job so I could stay home all the time and play with my kids, but I am not quit there. i could do that, but Adam will be focusing on school only this coming up semester so I am going out into the real world for employment. Next semester Adam will have a teaching position, fingers crossed that it will still be available for him, so I can return to being with my kids or hey I might like working and continue to do it until Adam is out of school. We shall see.

The kids are getting so big and tons of fun. Elizabeth is as busy as ten bees. You cannot take your eyes off of her. She gets into everything and has learned how to get out of the seatbelt at the grocery store. She is good and fast. She is so skinny that it is easy for her to escape. She likes to be in the basket part with her brother, but she likes to stand up. It's okay, but I have to stand next to her the whole time. She is has her own opinions about things and she will let you know. She really loves her brother and anything he is doing or has. She would follow him off a bridge. She loves that guy.

James on the other hand likes her sometimes. He likes her enough to give her a kiss every now and again. He let's her play with his toys unless he is playing with them or he is in one of those "MINE" moods. He can make her laugh on a dime which he prides himself in. James is a lot smarter than I give him credit for. I only say this because he wasn't talking for a while and now he says and does things I didn't even know he could say or do. He can count to 20, 10 without a prompt. He even counted every other number with me until I got to 15 and then he got a little hung up. He is so cool. I love his imagination. He can make a gun or sword out of anything. When a kid says a trophy with a keynote is a golf and tries to tell you that's what it's for that's pretty cool. He also uses the back scratcher as a golf putter. Today I was sick and he even had me playing bad guys with him. I couldn't get out of bed so he came into my "cave" the blanket and hide from the bad guys. When they got close enough he jumped out and shot them with his finger guns. I helped by throwing explosives as I peeked my head out of the blanket cave. It was nice to be able to play even though I didn't feel well.

I love my kids and my husband. They are the world to me. They make me laugh and are so amazing.

My sweet husband knows I am not thrilled to work and that I didn't feel good so he has been doing a lot around the house. He has done the dishes, vacuumed, laundry, diaper changing. He is awesome!!!! I love you. Adam. He has made me having to go to work a lot easier. I am grateful for that.

Random sign, I am not sure what this event is, but it sounded country and back woods-like. I think I would enjoy going to whatever this is.
