Little Jacob

he is gettin so big! The saddest part about having babies is how fast they grow up!

Twins plus one

a friend of mine has 5 year old twins and an 18month old. I took pics of them yesterday for her wall and it was good! I had my new Savage seamless paper backdrop and little miss A HATED it! It was the funniest thing to see her freaking like she was stuck on the paper and couldn't move LOL!


Don't you just love that tongue? It was sticking out in every darn snap!

Learned how to crochet this month too!

I saw the cutest hat online and I thought "Hey, I could do that!"
Well, it doesn't look anything like the one I saw, but for my first project, and no pattern, I think it is pretty ok!

Here is the top (well the front really.. you get the idea)


It's a kitty by the way... You know, just in case you couldn't tell by the pointy ears and all ;)





and this is the second project. The Cindy Lou Who hat (it's not really called that, but she looks like a Dr. Seuss character in it LOL!)


Now I have all kinds of yarn left, my kids are going to have hats coming out their yin yang! maybe a scarf too, who knows!

No white Christmas here

I love that we get barely any snow here... Well, in comparison to my hometown, where the white stuff goes for miles until you are blinded by it!
We did get snow for a few weeks (that called for school 2 hour delays and cancellations -- wimps!) and the kids were soo excited they got to pull out the (dusty LOL) box of snow gear!
Addie ws a litte unsure about the whole thing, but liked to watch her siblings fall in it!














Of course, now all the snow has melted and we have rain, rain, rain and we are sitting at about 60F (about 15C)

Busy busy busy!

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I've been on here! Whoops!
Well, December has been (apparently) a busy month for us! We had 2 birthdays, Christmas, and a broken ankle!
Addison, the youngest, broke her ankle (fractured tibia) She had to wear a splint for just over 3 weeks. Here are a few highlights:

Day one:






Here is me washing her smelly leg after taking everything off!



The xrays: the first is the broken tibia and the second is the healed version!






All better!

Family Christmas photos

Sorry, there are none of my family. Isn't that how it always goes?? I have been busy taking pics of all my friends, I used a pic of just the kids for our Christmas card. That is ok though, they are all smiling and that is all that matters. Even if it is from July HA!

Anyway, here are some of the recents that I have taken:






Here is Cali again, the do-anything-to-me dog!



I never thought it would be this hard, but getting all the kids to look in my general direction, let alone SMILE was a bit of a challenge, but that is alright. I photoshopped the chalk in because they rand out of chalk HA!



Here is M and her family:



These are just the family ones, I have tons of just kidlets on their own!
Hopefully all of this portfolio building business pays off!

Christmas is coming!

I have been making gifts like crazy! My sewing machine is going to need a nice, long break after this LOL!
I found a new baby gift for the baby sling haters LOL!
I made a hooded towel for Addison and I love the way it turned out so I made another for a Christmas gift and will not be my last one either!
Here are the pics (with Logan as my lovely assistant LOL!) excuse my scrap room disaster in the background!
