Yo Gabba Gabba Quilt

Here is Abbey's Yo Gabba Gabba Quilt
She loves this so much, and I thought she lost it today when her friend saw it for the first time. Looks like I may be making a second one here soon.




This didn't take too long to make, and I am sure happy with it.

I just wanted to take a moment and share it.

Honored

On Monday, May 18th, 2009 ... some dear friends of ours endured something no parent ever wants to have to go through. Their daughter was born stillborn. This was something they knew about 3 weeks before hand. They had some time to come to terms with what was about to happen, and even at times tried to convince them themselves the machine were wrong.

It was asked of me to make a baby quilt for her, something that she could be buried with. The quilts are on their way to the post office as I type this to be overnighted to Arkansas. There are two of them. One for the baby and one for mom. I feel honored to have been asked.

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with the Danner family!
We love you guys!

Abbey's Little BooBoo

Sooooo, Monday afternoon ... around 3:18pm Abbey started crying. She stopped, took a few steps and started crying all over again. I picked her up to check her out ... ran my hand over her feet and came back with some blood. After checking her out and NOT being sure if anything was in her foot ... we loaded up and RAN to the doc office. They worked us in, once we saw the doc he told me this:

He wasn't sure if anything was in there. HOWEVER, if there was something he would have to send her somewhere else to have it removed. Sooo, he sent us for xrays. If the xrays showed something we would be sent somewhere. If the xrays didn't show anything and it didn't get any better he would still send us somewhere else.

TUESDAY: 4pm ... Doc office calls. There is something in her foot. We go in the morning to have it removed.





It was a small piece of glass. We have NO CLUE where it even came from. She was not a happy camper, having to lay still to be messed with. But she was a big girl and is going to be OK!

Trip To The Beach

We went to the beach today.
Drove up to Venice to visit the dog beach.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and came home tired!


Emily playing close to the water with some sand toys.

Abbey playing in the sand.

Elvis running through the tide.

Elvis and two other boxers that were there at the beach.

This is just a funny picture of him running towards me from down the beach a little ways. Look at those jaws, just a flappin!

Peace River Elementary Auction

Peace River Elementary is going to be holding an auction. They have sent letters home asking people of the community to offer a product, service, etc. So, below are pictures of the products I have created to offer for the auction.

I embroidered two crayon roll ups with Peace River Elementary and a paw print. One in blue and one pink. So who knows, maybe they will at least bring in $20 for the school. I like them, lol.

Grandma's Lucky Stars

Grandma's Lucky Stars
2009

So, I made my mom a bag. I call it ... GRANDMA'S LUCKY STARS 2009.
This bag includes a star and name of each grandchild. (At least those she has as of RIGHT now).
So who knows if another bag will need to be made later down the line, but for now this bag is current. I think it's just really cute. I hope she likes it, I'll be shipping it soon ... not going to tell her it's coming, LOL.

Weekend

Busy Weekend!

Abbey had a play date on Saturday. She had a blast, but afterward it was off to Walmart to get a few things. NOTE TO SELF: Saturday NOT a good day to make a trip to walmart.

Then it was home where we hung out watching some tv. I did some sewing/embroidery. Made the dog a bandana collar.

Sunday we went to the park to let the dog play. Emily and Abbey got to play as well.
Rebekah spent the weekend with Sara.
Here are some pictures from our weekend.


Elvis and Midnight.
Two lazy bums.

Elvis, showing off his Spoiled Rotten bandana.

Abbey at the park.
Say CHEESE!

Gulp, Gulp ... Emily needed some water to wash all that sand down.

Abbey, can't you see the curiosity in her face?

Abbey, just being cute.

Abbey up close and personal.

Emily and Abbey.

Yummy, maybe we should feed her some REAL food soon?

Emily, she is really focused on doing something here.

Abbey, she is happy ... she got her favorite shovel.

Pretty Picture of Abbey.

Well, those are some pics from our weekend.
Hope everyone has a great week.
