"Sunday/Funday"

Our weekend was jammed packed.....first going to my mom's...(my first post this morning)......then on sunday, david's sister, sarah and her fiance came down for a visit,, and his mom was in town too.......so we cooked dinner over here at our house for everyone......it was great to see them all.....and i got some cute pics of the cousins together.....they're all cute,,,but my fav is the black and white of katie mae smiling....she's laughing at her cousin, isaiah.....too cute!.....o and i had to throw in the pic of katie mae playing in the little red barbie car......she's been climbing and fitting herself in it since she was 6months old.....it's so cute...lol....




"Roses and Rides"

This past weekend i picked emma grace up from school and we hit the road.......headed to my parents' house for the night.....on sat their tiny town in TX had it's annual "Wildflower Trails".....they have a little carnival...and my kids don't normally get to go every year because eg's birthday party usually falls on the same sat.......so this was a real treat for them......before we went to town i couldn't resist taking a couple pics in my mom's rose garden.....she has a huge flower garden surrounding her house,, and it's all mostly roses......i got a few great pics...katie loved tearing up the one rose we let her...lol....then we drove into town and watched the parade first.....and it was cold....and of course i didn't bring jackets cause it was so hot the last several days before.....luckily there was a dollar store across the street,,so i ran over and bought a few blankets......after the parade we went to the carnival.....the kids LOVE riding rides.....and this was katie mae's first chance to do so......just like my older two at that age, she cried every time she had to get off the rides....lol.......

"More PIcs"

Just trying to catch up on here.....three blogs in one day! LOL.......last sunday afternoon i had a trunk show.....for those i make up about 10 extra outfits to sale off the rack that day......i had some left over,,,and a few just happened to be in katie mae's size.......so i couldn't resist putting her in them to take some pics....i decided to keep all but the zebra pillowslip dress....i took it up to pink and blue ave with lots of other outfits!!.....the first outfit is my FAV!! i absolutely love it.....it's hard to find that REAL turquoise color....but belive it or not,,i found this at walmart on the dollar table!.......i'm also making curtains out of it for the my girls' room.........the second outfit is another one of my new favorites......love the fabrics....and by the way,,she's crying because her brother is on the four wheeler without her..LOL.....and on the last one,,,,,,who doesn't like zebra?...and i love it with the lime green.......and the inside of it is lined with a really cute bird fabric....also i threw in a couple of random pics from the last week.......








"THE Skirt"

A customer of mine brought me a children's clothing magazine called "chasing fireflies"......very cute clothes,,,,,,but extremely pricey.....anywho....i was looking thru it and found a few things i wanted to try and duplicate......so when i was down in west monroe a couple weeks ago,,,me and my bff, melanie decided to try a skirt from the magazine.......so we went to hobby lobby and found some material.....and made up the skirts.......i think they turned out really good.....the actual skirt is one piece with three rows of ruffles that curve up at the sides,,, and then there is another piece that ties on...and it is reversible......so there are many different ways to wear this skirt........it's great.....i'm going to make another one for the beach in june....but only in a cream color and then the tie on part something with red.......and by the way,,,this skirt retailed in the magazine for 168.00!


"W at the Motorcross Races"

So my little three yr old son is obsessed with motorcycles and has his own now......this whole obsession started a year ago this month.....when david took him to the races in jefferson,tx......it was then he decided at 2 that he wanted to race motorcycles,,,,lol............one of the past world champions, and a friend of my parents, told w that if he wanted a motorcycle then he had to learn to ride his bike without training wheels.........low and behold,, a few months after that,, w was riding his bike with no training wheels at age 2!......and got himself an electric motorcycle......but don't let the "electric" part fool u......the thing goes 15mph................................So this year when david took w to the motorcross races, he got to take his own motorcycle to ride around in the pit areas and show it to all his friends he met last year.........needless to say,,,most people were shocked to see a three year old kid riding a motorcycle.......lol.......he had a handful of different people ask to have their pic with him...lol.......
this year he came home with lots of goodies too........marty trippe gave him a racing jersey,, he met chuck son, european champion....and another racer,, whose name escapes me,, gave him a plaque he'd won!!......we still have a couple years before w can actually compete.....i think david said they have to be 5....but w loves riding.......
