Moments that make me happy =)

My friend posted some picts of her kids with the grass up-front...I loved them and wanted to try it out:) I love that I caught Camden with his little hands on his face while checking out his big brother!

Happy, happy boy!

My Mom made herself a purse out of this paisly fabric. She had all these wonderful little pockets on the inside and she put quilt batting in between the layers to protect her stuff. I started thinking this would be wonderful for my camera on "little" outings. I have a jigantic camera bag that screams "come grab my really cool camera!" But this bag is so adorable! My Mom made a patern using my camera and a paper grocery bag. Yes, She is amazing! With 30 min before I had to leave to catch my flight we had made the outside shell part of the bag. When I got home I ran to Joanns(ya, I've been there a lot) found a cute striped pink fabric to line the inside with. Made two little pockets for my charger and cord. I used some left over green from my camera strap and used it on the strap, flower and button. Another friend and I were trying to figure out how I could get it closed and we came up with this metal snap covered in green. We figured out how to make that cute little flower...and this is the finished project. It took a villege (hehe) to make it and I LoVe it!!


Down at the bottem is the frog pond the boys love to be at! We even had a crawdad come to play!

An amazing, beautiful rain storm. Somewhere there was a huge rainbow. The zig zag lines are the rain.
It was raining

the sun was setting

the road was steaming

and the light was litterally sparkeling off every individual rain drop....

When email fails, blog it:) I have tried to keep this a surprise for my "handyman" dad, I've avoided calling and bursting at the seams! We've always wanted to replace the blue..... three days of drying and a very smelly night of painting it's done! And for only 20bucks-fantastic:)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Baby Boy! I think this picture sums you up perfectly! Always ready with a *grin*! Your crazy spikies that you have to make sure are "spiky" enough and bugs... Everywhere we go you can find bugs! On a recent trip to JoAnns you found a rolly-polly IN the store. It kept you busy the whole time we were there. Then on the way out of the store you found the breeding ground for the things outside and slightly to the left of the main doors. At garage sales you will check out the rocks in people 's yard for worms(until I make you stop). At Grandma's house you collect ladybugs... Always a bug on your list:)

Pin the lizard on the birthday boy!
You really, really wanted a live lizard for your birthday. At the pet store you beg to hold the lizards. Then you calmly tell me how cute they are and why we neeeeed one! I think you've narrowed it down to geckos.



We had a fun time at your outside lizard/buggy/bubble party! It was the first day in a week that it didn't rain. The yard was a bit flooded but you had such a good time anyways:) We had a "nest" of baby lizard eggs with stretchy lizards in them(I think this was my favorite thing to make for you!). We love you tons and tons :)
