Something for the boys!

 

 
 


I finally finished a John John!! I think they are so cute & can't wait to see pictures of the little boys in them.

Cheese!!

 

I was trying to get a picture of Katelyn wearing my glasses & it turned into a mini photo shoot. Notice how she has her hands crossed in most of the pictures. This is what she does now when I tell her to say cheese or I want to take her picture. I don't know where that came from, it's her signature pose I guess. Check out those facial expressions!

Aiden & Austin's 3rd Birthday

 

We went to Jumpin' Jax for Aiden & Austin's birthday today & had a great time. I think the adults had as much fun as the kids! There were kids everywhere or should I say boys, there aren't too many girls in this group of kids. The boys had a great party & got so many presents, my favorite was watching Austin play the guitar. Katelyn said "birthday" all weekend & had so much fun at everyone's parties. We have another one next weekend followed by a baby shower & a wedding, so we aren't done yet!

Braelyn's party was Saturday & she had a great party. She is so cute & got so many great presents. Katelyn had a great time playing with all of her toys & eating cake. Katelyn & Braelyn play great together & I hope these two become best friends like her mother & I, but maybe not do all of the crazy things we did!

My little model

 

 

 

I had to take a picture of Katelyn in the outfit I did for her, she looked so cute. I didn't know I was going to get a good smile out of her either. Maybe she is starting to come around & will start smiling for pictures now. The last picture makes me a little sad, Katie is definitely not a baby anymore & she looks so grown up to me. I miss her being a baby but I love the stage she is in now, she is so smart & cracks me up daily with the things she says, I love her so much!

Busy, Busy

 

 

Well I have finally found some time to get a little sewing done & practice on appliques & embroidery. I was invited to Smith Lake yesterday to a quilting retreat, but I don't quilt so I decided to put my new machine to good use & do some embroidery. I love doing them & all of the designs are so cute! I have several more I did but I can't put them on here because they are for birthday presents the weekend;) I have to thank Debbie for helping me out sooooo much & getting me started, I still have a long way to go! I enjoyed meeting people yesterday & hopefully I can learn something from them. I am going to attempt to quilt soon too, but I have to get some outfits made for all of these little boys I know first! I have several Jon Jons ready to sew so hopefully I will find some more time in a few days to finish them.

18 months

 

 

 

 

Today Katelyn turned 18 months, I wish I had a better picture but we are going in a few weeks to take those. Katelyn weighs about 28lbs. now, & talks so much, she can put around three words together & repeats EVERYTHING we say. She has so much personality & is such a girly girl! She amazes me everyday how smart she is. She has gone to the potty twice this week so I guess it's time for potty training! I am so glad I get to see her grow & be there for every milestone.

This is Katelyn with one of her best friends, she LOVES Sadie & wakes up everyday asking for her. I let her go out & play with her & she usually ends up sitting next to her on the porch or feeding her food. Today she was giving her some of her snack & for some reason she said "five" well Sadie started giving her five & scratched her right by her eye. She only cried for a minute & was over it but it scared me, thank goodness it wasn't any closer to her eye. Sadie was only doing what we have taught her for a treat but we have to watch her a little closer now. Of course Katelyn continued to give her treats.

Emma's 1st Birthday

Last Sunday we went to our friend Emma's first birthday! Katelyn had so much fun watching all of the kids play, there weren't too many there her age so she just stood back & took it all in. She did get to ride Colton's tractor by herself & loved it! I think Santa needs to bring her a power wheel for Christmas this year. Katelyn loves birthday parties & all she said all day was "Birthday"! We have a few more this month we are looking forward too so I'm sure we will have a lot more pictures.

Happy 4th of July!

 

 

 

 

We had a great & busy weekend. I had my family reunion in Oneonta on Saturday & it is the first time in 12 years we have all gotten together. It was a great day & so nice to see family I haven't seen in years. Katelyn had a great time eating the fresh blackberries & playing. The way she was eating them you would have thought they were candy. I hope we can do it again next year.
