Kaylynn...America's Next Top Model!

Probably not...she doesn't sit still long enough to get really good pictures.  Not to mention her recent aversion to having her picture  taken.  But I bribed her with chocolate pudding and was able to snap a very few quick shots of her.  This was the best I got.

I am always up for trying something new...

ONCE! HaHa, no I am kidding!  I was visiting a friend the other day who is very talented with a sewing machine and it got me on an "I want to sew although I have no talent in that department whatsoever" mode.  She makes fabulous bags/diaper bags... no seriously... check it out!

Anyway, I digress... So today I went to the fabric store and picked up some fabric to make a hobo bag.  I found a free pattern and istructions online a few months ago and have wanted to attempt it but have never been brave enough to try.  Well I finally got brave and here are the results!

I absolutely love it! Although I could name about 10 things I did wrong!  I got very creative at one point because I didn't want to undo an entire seam! haha  If you want to make your own hobo bag you can go to www.jcarolinecreative.com  in the "how to's" section!

We are in need of a house...and a dog...apparently!

So this morning at breakfast Kaylynn announced, "I want a Dog!" to which I replied, "Sweetheart we live with Nana and dogs make her sneeze." She thought about it for a moment and then said, very matter of factly "We need a house AND a DOG!!!"  I laughed SO hard and then asked her how we were going to get a house.  She said, "We will get wood and paint and a paint brush."  I asked "Won't we need a hammer and nails too?" "No, the sea horse will take care of that!" (sidenote: Madison has a sea horse rattle that Kaylynn loves to play with...I think this is what she is referencing to.  But she is 3 with a very active imagination so one can never be sure!) So I hope that brought a smile to your face, it sure made my day a little brighter! 

Look Who is Seven Months Old!!!

Madison is such a fun baby! The last 7 months have flown! She is such a funny girl.  She smiles at everyone and has the cutest giggle.  She will randomly lay her head on your shoulder for a cuddle.  She thinks her sister is just about the coolest thing in the whole world.  She is a great sleeper and an even better eater!  She plays with her toes while she lays on her back (I love it when babies do that!).  She can raspberry better than anyone I have ever known, seriously the drool just flows down her chin and soaks her shirt! She loves it! We love her so much!  Here are a few pics I took of her on her 7 month birthday!

aww! Such precious little toes!

Gone are the days...

where I could lay Madison down and she would stay put! I laid her down under her aquirium play toy with her feet toward the wall and her head toward the room.  Through a series of rolls, leg kicking and shaking she moved from under the toy turned around and traveled a good 3 feet toward the swing.  Then she got somewhat stuck there and decided to "taste" the swing legs!

What a funny girl! 

Bitsy Bows has Moved!!!

Hello! Well I have moved my bow making business from a blog to a website! It is really fun and allows me to do a few different things.  It is still a work in progress so any suggestions or comments are welcome!  Please check it out!  www.bitsybows.webs.com

Planting Fruit Trees

Actually Chad and my mom planted the fruit trees but the girls and I also went outside to play for a little while.  

Madison loved watching the bubbles float by!  Such cuties!
