Christmas Display

There is a guy on the fire department that has a huge Christmas dsiplay at his house every year. We are lucky enough to know this man and have the opportunity to visit the display up close here are a few pictures from the visit. I do need to return and take a picture of the whole yard it is just amazing. The picture to follow are just a few of the things he has on display. He also has carebears, my little pony, toy story characters, spiderman and the list goes on.

I know it's early but I just can't help it

in a month my little munchkin will be 3 and I can hardly believe it.

She went from this sweet little helpless baby....

Too a crazy preshooler that finds it necessary to tell her babysitter about nasty magazines in her daddy's closet(I don't think she has ever even seen the inside of the said closet) but none the less that was the story yesterday, and tuesday the sitter called me at work and told me that she had to sit her down and have a discussion about bad words...seems she repeated son of a ***** . My daughter proceeds to tell Laura that she heard it from her grandpa. Just thought I would share or laughs for the week ...I am ready for something new today. She will probably just blow my mind again though.

Conversations with Maggie

As most of you that read our blog know, we are expecting the arrival of a sibling for Maggie in June. We are 10 ½ weeks and everything is going good. Brian and I even got the pleasure of hearing a heartbeat today… takes a load off my mind. Anyway this past Thursday we told Maggie that she is going to be a big sister and have had a few conversations with her about this in these last few days.

Anyway below is one of those conversations.

We were getting ready to leave this morning and talking about the baby that is going to be joining our family.

Maggie said we are having a girl well that is Mommy is having a girl but it isn’t coming yet and she is going to be a big sister. We aren’t going to have a boy because Daddy’s have the boys is what she has deduced from our conversations. I guess I need to point out that Aunt Dana had Hayden and he is boy. Maybe that will help her to understand that the Mommies have the babies.

If any of you are wondering where the super cute shirt came from it is from www.justjen.com

Finally a new picture ...

I know it has been awhile just not been in the mood. I took this picture of Maggie last night trying to play with the flash and get the child to sit still long enough to figure out the flash and all it was a fiasco but I got a few pictures. Here is my favorite... Maggie has been battling some sort of runny nose eye watery thing this week so hopefully after this long weekend we can say we are bug free again.

I had to include this one too these toes look like they are itching for some sand don't they!!!

Maggie at Halloween Party

We went to the Moose Halloween Party on the 25th and Maggie had a blast. She was Miss Spider from Miss Spider's Sunny Patch . I made her costume this year with help from grandma linda and Maggie couldn't have been happier to wear it. At the party she won a prize and it was the cutest necklace earrings and purse set, she simply loves this set.

Happy 30th Birthday Jen!

We hope you had a wonderful day!!

A busy day

On wednesday I decided (at the very last minute while I was at hobby lobby) pick up some thread that was relatively close to the color of this fabric I have at home. I needed to make a curtain, what you say Stephanie and sewing those two don't go together well I kid you not I sewed!! I liked it some much I made two curtains I know simply amazing I actually had creative juices...it was amazing. I am so glad I tried to do it I think I found a hobby and I can do it while Maggie is around she only tried to hold the pins 5 or 6 times. So here are the two curtains I made.

After Maggie got up from her nap and I was taking these pictures she decided she wanted to be the photographer.

Happy Birthday Kiddos
