In Loving Memory

Now that I have figured out how to crochet dresses I have decided to make them for the hospital...My dear friend Arah takes photos of babies that have passed away or that are going to pass away...I have been with her while taking these pictures and will hopefully be able to help out taking pictures soon...These photos are beautiful memories that the families cherish forever...A lot of these babies are so small that there are no clothes to fit them...I am grateful to be able to give them something that they can use...My Aunt Kris also sent me dresses to donate...My daughter Sierra and Arah's daughter Olivia were buried in dresses made by Kris so these dresses will all be donated in loving memory of Sierra and Olivia...

Here are the 5 dresses I made this weekend...The largest one in the photo is about 8 inches long...They seem so small but they will fit the babies perfectly...

Photo Tag

The rule...go to your photos open the 6th folder and choose the 6th photo then blog about it...

Crocheted Dress

My aunt Kris Crochets beautiful dresses...I have been wanting to learn for a few years now but have never sat down with her and watched...In September she moved to West Virginia so getting together is not an option right now...At our craft fair last weekend I spent a little time studding one of her dresses and figured out how to make the top...so when I got home I started working on a dress...The first one I started was bigger than I wanted, so I put it aside and started another one...When it came to the skirt I just improvised...This is the finished dress...It is 0-3 months size...It also fits Ashlynn's build a bear perfect...I am very pleased with how it turned out...Kris what do you think?

Hayden's Unders

Conversation between Hayden and Jeff after Hayden found a pair his unders in the dirty clothes...





Hayden: "I don't like Sky any more..."


Jeff: "How come?"


Hayden: "Because..."


Jeff: "He's your brother."


Hayden: "Not anymore..."


Jeff: "Why?"


Hayden: "He pooped in my unders..."

Walk-A-Thon

Skyler and Ashlynn had their Walk-a-Thon at school yesterday...They were so excited...They both raised $44.00 not mater how much they walked so they were just out for fun...Skyler ran most of it and had a total of 27 laps with out a drink (he always adds that)...Ashlynn walked most of it and had 16 laps...I'm so proud of them for doing their best...Their school is trying to earn money for new play ground toys...Good luck ADAMs...I took over 450 pictures for the school but ill only share 2...

Sky towards the end...he was so tuckered out...when he got up this morning he was complaining about how sore he was...

Ashlynn is a nut head....She said she got really hot in her sweat shirt but she couldn't take it off because it's all she has on...The weather was perfect yesterday...

Skyler's Concert

Tonight we went to Skyler's concert...I wish I had a sound Clip from it...Can I just say his music teacher is AMAZING!!!...I have never seen kids this young with so much excitement and enthusiasm for music...Even the boys were singing at the top of their lungs and in tune...I was amazed...here are a few pictures from the night...

Skyler was very nervous before the concert...


He was very into the music and moves...


This is Skyler with his Teacher Mrs. Stiles after the concert...He really likes having her for his teacher...


This is Sky and DJ...DJ is Sky's best friend...he lives across the street from us...

Skyler's Glasses

Skyler had his eyes checked at the beginning of January...They decided that his muscles behind his eyes were weak so he needed glasses...We finally just got them last week...8 weeks later!!!...He only has to wear them in his class room at school and when he is doing home work at home...He says the kids at school think he looks Harry Potter!!! I think he looks cute (but moms don't count)...

Feel the Music...

Ashlynn was singing all night while coloring...I had to get a video of it...I set the camera up on the table and went about my evening activities...she kept asking me what the camera was doing and i acted like i didn't know what she was talking about...after a minute she was singing at the top of her lungs again...i was trying so hard not to laugh because she was so into it...my sister Andrea use to do this as a little girl and i thought it was so funny...Go Ashlynn!!!...I LOVE THIS...

Feel the Music!!!

Tote Bag

I have been needing a new tote bag for church but couldn't find one i really liked for the price i wanted to pay...Well 2 weeks ago i got a new calling to be the CTR 5 teacher so I have a lot more stuff to bring to church now...I decided to buy some fabric and make one that was just right for me...while i was at walmart today i saw this fabric and loved how bright it was...I think it made me happy because it is so dark and grody out side...This evening i sat down with out a pattern and this is what i came up with...it is reversible also...I think it will be great!!!

oh yeah it only cost $6.66...

Thomas Live!!!

Tonight we went to Thomas Live...It was a lot of fun...The tickets I bought were only $7.50 each but I thought our seats were great...We were up in the balcony in almost the last row but we could see everything perfect...I first bought Tickets just for Hayden, Xander, Jeff and I but decided a few days later to get tickets for Sky and Ash...We couldn't get 2 more tickets together so I bought 3 and invited my mom to go...When we got there our seats were 3 seats in from the end so we traded the people on the end for our 3 better seats and all sat together...It was so much fun to see Hayden, Xander and Ashlynn get so excited during the show...Skyler had fun to but wasn't as into it...All in all we had a great Family night and hope to do more activities like this in the future...

I bought these shirts yesterday....

I got one at Value Village and on at Goodwil...$1.99 each...

The Shirts they were selling at the show were $20.00 each...
