IT'S A BOY!


Our handsome grandson was born in November.  It was a long three days of waiting but well worth it!  My daughter-in-law asked me to take photos of the birth.  I was excited.  It was not an easy task and I am not a professional but feel I captured some pretty good shots I wish I could share.  She doesn't want anyone to see the birthing photos but I have some after the birth. 





The hardest part of taking the birthing photos was right after the baby was handed to mom.  It happened so quick I was not able to change my settings.  What a special moment for a mom to see her baby for the first time.  I had a c-section with my son so I was not awake for his birth.  This was a special moment for me to see my grandson being born.  I will treasure this moment forever. 





















The Dr. told mom and dad he would be 7 lbs well he surprised us all!

It's A Boy!

My son and his wife are having a baby!

I attempted my first all manual photo shoot!

I am a teacher and spent my Summer sewing up a storm!  It felt so good to do what I love for the ones I love.


 This is the quilt I made for baby Ryder



Nursing cover, burp cloths, bibs, hooded towel and more burp cloths!

Car Blanket

My son would play for hours with his Hot Wheels and Tonka cars.  Lining them up all over the living room.  So I made him a car blanket and then he had hours of fun moving them along the roads.  Well that was 2o years ago.  So when my great nephew came along I searched high and low for the material to make him a car blanket as he loves playing with cars too!  I decided to make Kane's a quillow so he could take it with him everywhere, adding a zipper pocket to hold his cars in.  Here is the out come.

4th of July fun



The Flag is a variety show which strives to promote patriotism, honor those who are and have served in the military, and highlights the fact that this nation was founded on godly principles by godly men. With the backdrop of a gigantic American flag filled with the CT choir, reenactments of various military scenes are portrayed, favorite TV shows and movies engage the crowd, and songs of faith and hope bring the event to a climax. A spectacular fireworks display punctuates the evening.

 A beautiful display of fireworks behind the lighted singing flag ends the evening.  





This is how we spend our July 4th! (or 1st or 2nd as it runs 3 days)

This year was special as all three of my kids and my daughter-in-law took the day off to spend some family time together.





 My beautiful daughter Cheyenne.  She is heading off to play water polo in college next month.  I will miss her keeping me laughing!!  Yes that is an extra large marshmallow she is stuffing in her mouth!!




The family always enjoys the music as they make many of the songs interactive.  This was the swing!

No one enjoys the Singing Flag more than my energetic daughter Kestrel, who gets up and dances to every song LOL

 


My niece Charlotte, in the middle, loves to play around with hair styles.  We spent the day in SF last weekend and they had a "Rosie the riveter WW2" in the 40's, sign you could take your picture in.  This inspired her to have a little fun on the 4th of July and style her and her cousin's hair for the Singing Flag.  Her hard work paid off with lots of compliments!

Our last high school dance, prom, ball

8 high school proms/balls and many dances later this was our last.  For all the proms/balls and dances we searched out bargain dresses. Learning how to find dresses for under $50 was easy.  Sharing many of those dresses with others in need of one was easy too. Having a relative work at The Men's Wharehouse made it for our son too. But, when it came to the girls final dance we let them pick out the dress of their dreams.  They felt like princesses and enjoyed every minute of the experience!  Bitter sweet of mom but I am so proud of all three of my kids.
