Comment spam?

Yeah, that had me scratching my head? You really think posting spam in my comments is going to bring you in a lot of business? Lame.

Just like Papa...

Some of Elli's favorite things to do either involve or are because of Papa George. Playing flute, bouncing on her horse, being outback and now gardening. Here are some pictures from helping my dad this afternoon.


And she always wants a hand shot! Silly girl!

Happy boy!

Zeke has started giggling and smiling a whole lot more lately. Enough to actually attempt to catch it on film. Still working on a video, but soon enough. Some of the pics are a little fuzzy, as he likes to move around when he laughs.

Zeke is 3 months old!!

Time is just flying by this time around! I cannot believe he is already 3 months old. He is such a big boy! I will have to do the home version of weighing him once he is up from his nap, so I will post that later. But here are the pictures we had taken.

Wow! Time for some more catch up...

Well, this month has been a pretty busy month over here. Andy has started a new job with Costco optical. We are quite stoked that he will hopefully be able to get down to one job at some point! And it is looking like he might actually be able to get *most* weekends off!! Fingers crossed! We have only had that happen a handful of times.

The kiddos and I jetted off to Colorado mid-month. It was kind of a spontaneous trip, but ended up being lots of fun. Well, fun if you don't count that Elli and I and the Magruder gals traded off being sick the whole time! Lucky boys, they were spared! All in all, it was nice for the kiddos to get to spend sometime with their Godfamily. Unfortunately, Zeke came home a very spoiled boy! He sure does love his Godma. We got a chance to head up to Denver also, and spend the afternoon with Aaron, Linda and the Finn. :) The kiddos aren't quite to the point of playing together yet, but it was nice to finally meet him in person. The kids did AWESOME on the drive home, it was quite a blessing.






I have been filling enough orders to keep me busy, which is more than fine with me. In the past couple of days I have begun the process of creating a new carrier. I have purchased fabric and am very impatiently waiting for it to arrive!! I already have received quite a bit of interest even before sewing up the first one!!! It is the same design as my original DUO, only it is going to be made up of sun blocking and quick drying material- perfect for all that summertime water use! I am so over the top excited to get going on this new branch of my business!

We are also very excited to get away next weekend and head to our favorite place on earth.... SIX FLAGS!!! Woo woo!! Elli is getting ditched, and will be staying home with Aunt Stacie, but Zeke gets to come along. He will be hangin with Grandma and Grandpa while mommy and daddy get their fill of roller coasters. It has been 3 very long years, and I am SOO excited to actually make it over there!

Pretty Baby Girl

Such a big helper...

More Pics of Zeke

Time for some "Heinz 57"...

or catch- up if you will. :) My 8th grade math teacher used that all the time. lol

Everyone is back to healthy, which makes for a lot nicer household. The kids really did take being sick like champs, and I am so happy that Zeke was over it as quickly as he got it.

My business is officially up and running. I am having a lot of fun with completing different orders. Unfortunately, my first sewing machine couldn't quite keep up with me. I guess it didn't like getting used daily for several hours for 2 weeks straight, and had a heart attack. :( But the happy news is I got a new one!! So far I am loving it and all its cool little features that just make life a little easier.

Me and kiddos are headed off to Denver!!! We have been trying to plan a family vacation up there ever since the Magruders' moved. But there has always been one thing or another preventing it. We finally made the decision to just have me and the kiddos go since we have nothing preventing us (ie work schedules). I will be flying with both of them- BY MYSELF! eek!- on Wednesday afternoon, and then driving home with the Gail and the girls sometime next week. We are also going to be meeting up with Aaron's family (Andy's brother) on Saturday! I cannot wait to meet our new nephew and for them to meet Chubba.

I think that is just about it. I FINALLY mailed Zeke's birth announcements on Saturday. I cannot believe how long it took me to do that. I feel horrible. He hardly looks anything like he did on the announcement.

Now the fun part, here are a bunch of pics!
Blogger is being dumb so I will be back later with more pics! :)
