Reminiscing…

So, my husband and I like to often think back to when the kids were toddlers.  They often said some really funny things.

Connor  used to say, “Mommy!!!  I have a bleet!”  That is translated to, “Mommy, I’m bleeding!”  Ha ha ha.

Zachary used to say, “Mommy, I think I have a hot.”  That is translated to, “Mommy, I think I have a fever…”  You know, because us parents say, “Is he hot?” “Is he warm?”

And my most favorite… Kylie…  If the bath water was too hot, Kylie would lower herself into the water and say, “OOOOOOOOOOUCH! MOMMY!!!  The WATER IS SPICY ON MY BUTT!”

Oh toddlerhood…. I miss it…

Kylie Strikes Again

Kylie:  How do you spell spelling?

:-O

Jason’s On Duty Tonight

And this is what I’m doing to mope pass the time.

Sorry for the poor quality.  I don’t know what happened there.

Little Joe Joe

Jason and I have some friends, Bob and Beth, who have an almost 1 year old little man, Joseph.  I just love him.  Anyway, Beth asked me to help her make Joey a white shirt and white pants for his dedication and first birthday.  The project was a little frustrating for me as I had never done a shirt or pants before.  But I finally finished it.  Isn’t it/he cute!?!??!

And one more but it’s just Joey playing.  He’s so stinkin cute.

Kylie’s New Dress

Before we left for Texas, I had just finished up a new dress for Kylie.  This was, by far, the most complicated sewing project I’ve done.  It took me 2 weeks.  Well – I should clarify – it was an on and off thing.  I would sew, get frustrated and quit for a day or two.  And I’d repeat that several times for 2 weeks.  Ha ha.  So here it is:

So yes, the dress is SUPER big on her which is why I had to wrap the tie around the front first.  Hopefully she’ll get several years of use out of this dress.  Ha ha ha!

Everything’s Bigger in Texas

Okay, I’ll be honest.  Not EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas.  In Giddings, TX there’s the smallest Wal-Mart I’ve ever seen.  The trees are definitely bigger in NC.    We just took a trip to Elgin (about 30 min from Austin), TX to visit some family.  Coming from NC – that’s a 2 day trip if you’re weinies like us and don’t want to drive 23 hours straight through.  So we left NC on June 4th and got there on June 5th fairly early.  I’d like to point out too, whoever said vacation is relaxing is a big fat liar.  It’s EXHAUSTING!    Anyway – we had a really good time and can’t wait to make it back out there sometime!  Here are some pictures from our trip.  Most of them are from Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio.  It was SO hot that day!  But we had SO much fun at the park!
