A new baby in the family

Our niece Alexis had a baby boy Rylan today!

He weighed 8lbs 12oz. I got to hold him for quite

awhile and he just slept the whole time.

The happy parents (Alexis, Skyler, and

their new son)

Aunt Holly is now Grandma Holly (that is so crazy to say)

Another crazy thing is there are now 6 generations alive!!!

This baby's great great great grandma is 93 years old,

that is unbelievable.

Time for Shane and I to have another baby,
I have baby fever after holding this little guy today!!

Future rock stars. Elise is jamming on the guitar

and Christian is the lead singer.


Christian knows how to pose for a picture.

He is so funny I will take one picture and then

he will say "how about over here" and then move

to another spot in the room and say "and here,

that will be a good one". He is quite the charmer.

Our kids acutally play really well together and it is so
nice to see. Christian is totally protective over Elise.
He can bug her and mess with her but nobody else
can. He even gets mad at me when I am trying to
discipline her. They are two wonderful children
and I love them so so much!!!

Zig Zag Skirt

I have really started enjoying sewing

and found another tutorial on how to make

a zig zag skirt. Soooo I made two of them

one fits her perfect now (above) the other

one is a little bigger and she can grow into it.

I loved how they turned out.

Two new dresses

I followed another sew a long from a blog I read.

Each day you do a certain part of the dress. It took

5 days to make and I even learned how to put in

an invisible zipper. I decided to make two dresses

for Elise. I thought if I am going to learn how to do

this I should make the most of my time.

I am really happy with how they turned out.

Kiddos having fun together

I got the kids these little masks in the dollar section at Target.
Elise is a snake and Christian is a frog.
You can see behind them food everywhere. Today we
are adding some shelves in our pantry and I took
everything out. It is a mess but I can't wait to re-organize
it all. Thanks honey for building more shelves for us
and all our food!
