Ty's Newborn Pics

Happy Father's Day

Those of you who know my husband, Travis, know that he loves golf. So, I took pictures of Ty on a putting green in his little Nike outfit. (Travis also loves Nike.) I thought these pics would be cute in his office at work since he has a lot of golf stuff there.

Important Lessons

Travis is already teaching Ty about Games and Remotes!

I'm Ready to POP

Leave it to Megan Sager's to find the cutest theme for a baby shower. I was really excited to have my sister-in-law and Megan coordinate a baby shower for me. Megan found this "She's About to POP" theme and forwarded it onto my sister-in-law and she took off with the idea! I thought this was the cutes themed shower ever! I loved it! Just check out all of the work that went into it, they didn't miss a thing. I really had a great time and got so many cute things to get our little guy started. Thank you to my mother-in-law , Judi, my sister's in law, Lisa and Maliese, and my dear friend Megan Sager's. You guys are awesome. I am also thankful to my other friends who came to celebrate this special occasion. Thank you everyone!

Another Before 9 a.m.

First off I have to thank my friend Christine Hull for watching my girls yesterday for me while I went to the Doctors. This Pregnancy has been filled with an unreal number of appointments because of the high risk nature of the situation and I hate to ask people for help. I especially cringe when I know I'll be leaving Madelyn for an extended period of time. She is cute I confess but she is a handful of trouble. Yesterday while Christine was watching Madelyn, Maddy found some paint and got it all over including the carpet. I feel terrible for that.
This morning while I was fixing one of Avery's shirts, Madelyn got into the med cabinet and downed half a bottle of prescription cough and decongestant. The other half was on her clothes and all over the counter. While I cleaned her up and set her free to continue cleaning the mess, she found an ink pad that Avery left out this morning and just as I finished cleaning one mess she brought a new one to me. She was covered in ink, her white clothes were covered in ink and there was a trail of ink across the walls. So, I clean up that mess and start the wash to get the ink out of her white shirt and hear a huge clanking noise from the washing machine. I ran back in there to check and Madelyn had thrown one of my ceramic mixing bowls in the washing machine.
I should take my friend Jody's advice and go back to bed.

Red Rock

Some Saturday mornings we like to go out to Canyon Gate Golf Club for breakfast. I asked Travis if after breakfast we could go to Red Rock with the girls for a small hike (is it obvious I want this baby out). We weren't even out of the car 2 min and I went take a picture of a blooming cactus and as I got ready to snap the photo Maddy reached out to touch it. We spent the next 15 min get pokies out of her little fingers. Finally we hit the boardwalk and less that 2 min into that Avery started in, "Oh it's hot! Do we have to do this? I am thirsty. How long is this gonna take? It feels like we've been hiking for 50 hours!" By the end of the trail however the girls were asking to stay. We saw 3 chipmunks, 4 lizards, lots of Mariposa Lilies, and a blue dragon fly.

My Creative Husband

We have been married for 7 years now and every Valentines, Mother's Day, Birthday, Anniversary and Christmas I hear the same remarks,"we don't have to do presents this time do we? I thought we agreed on no presents?" or "I hate shopping for you, I never know what to get". But after 7 years of marriage Travis cam up with something new today. This years response beats all others.
"I hope you plan on fixing something big for dinner tomorrow because I don't know what to make for dinner tonight so we'll need the left overs." WOW! He is so romantic isn't he.

Happy Easter

Easter Dresses

As I said before, I am no photographer and these pics just don't do the dresses justice but I absolutely love them. Probably not your typical Easter Dress but that is how I like it. Avery's top was made from one pattern and the bottom from another. She loves to wear this. Avery's dress has been done for several weeks and because I am not a matchy - matchy person I wanted to make something different for Madelyn. I am excited to say this is my own creation. I started it at 1 am Easter morning and finished it just in time for church.
