Doggie Sacks!!

So, this has been my latest sewing project for the past two nights. I got this fab idea to make doggie sacks for the girls as Christmas presents. I started my research looking at sacks for purchase online... they go for 50+ bucks, CRAZY!! I managed to make these for about $13 a piece! Got to give credit where it's due, Walmart $2 buck flannel was perfect for this project. :) The girls already love them and actually snuggled together, albeit on opposite sides of the sack. hahaha The love is slowly growing between these two. I think they turned out very cute! Can you believe how sew crafty I am Mom?

The Dread Pirate Emma

Emma, acting like a real pirate and giving her best Arrrrrrrrgghhh! Thanks Mom for this adorable pirate outfit! She just loves it and it matches all of her little accessories, go figure! (that never happens) We have one very happy little pirate on our hands. She cracks me up with all this pirate business, but what are ya going to do? Definitely not what I would have expected from a little girl who loves pink and all things cute!

Pirate Island and Our Little Pirate

Emma with all her loot!
Playing with the coins they give you for the arcade.
Look at the cute shirt Grandma Hofmann sent in the mail, so fun! The waitress even commented on it. Emma just loves pirates, and she loves Pirate Island! We went again just the other day for lunch and she was very excited to see some pirates. I ended up buying a really cute pirate bow in the gift shop as you leave the restaurant. Luckily it matches a shirt we just bought from Target...she makes a very cute little pirate!

He makes it look easy, this might be the only time he went down on his bum. This guys a face firster!
Ashley, Heidi and I decided to take the littles on a play date. They had so much fun at the park. I had never been before... man, what a place for little kids! Emma loved the swing, but just hanging out with the cousins was great! Family is the best!! And I'll just add, what cute little kids, too! :)

Pirate Day!

Spencer, Captain Jack Sparrow, Emma
Captain Jack Sparrow, friend, Jonathon, Jonah My neighbor invited us to come over to their Pirate Party on Saturday, during the BYU football game. They had rented the Pirate ship that usually sits in front of Pirate Island, and had it sitting in front of the house. (pretty cool!!) We went over during half time and Captain Jack Sparrow was there! Emma was so excited, she wanted to have her picture taken with him. (It amazes me that after a trip to Disneyland, she would love pirates so much that she would want to have her picture taken with one.) I have to admit that the guy in costume was pretty darn good at being Johnny Depp, he had him pegged. The Hickman's are amazing people...she painted the mural behind them in the picture for the photo op, and she had a treasure chest full of toys and candy for the kids to pick from. She went all out, and it was a lot of fun! I found a new holiday to enjoy, I love Pirate Day!!

Cute little girl clothes! We love them all!
A diaper bag made from love, I"m just amazed it turned out so well!
Sweet Dacia with a cute tummy!

My first diaper cake attempt... not too bad.
My little miss in her two seconds of calm during the shower.
The cutest, fuzziest thing I think I've ever seen!!
These cupcakes were so adorable we didn't want to eat them...almost, lol! But somehow they disappeared all the same! These came from Dippidies in American Fork, they do great work!

Flour Massacre

As if I needed any further proof of how distracted we've all been these past few days... For some reason she thinks this is the most hilarious thing ever. I've come to learn that if i can't hear her and she doesn't answer immediately, she's in the flour. I'd move it but there isn't anywhere safe for it to hide. There is currently a fastener tied around the knobs. My little white Aborigine.

I know, I know...you are all probably in shock that I'm updating the blog! It's been a while and I feel awful for neglecting it, so I'll earnestly try to keep up on it. I'll be posting the pictures of our summer vacation soon, but...there are a lot and it's going to take some time. Hope you enjoy the few new postings.

Pirate PJs and Much More

Emma is in love with all things pirate since our trip to Disneyland. (Of course her favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean!) We took a trip to Babies R Us and found these...I couldn't stop myself, they are really cute! She loves them of course, running around saying "ARRRRrrrrrrr, I'm a pirate!" all morning. Of course, the reason we made the trip was for a pair of shoes, but I couldn't find anything I liked. Finally I found the adorable pair below at Target. I want them in brown, but they only had black in her size...I don't know why I'm surprised! (And yes, that is Mickey Mouse Club House playing in the background...her favorite show.)
I love the little ladybug embellishment...so cute! Grandma, this is what we replaced the shoes you sent with. I think they will be great! Hope you like them, too. This is Emma's new baby. Her purpose is to hopefully train Emma to use the POTTY!!! We'll see how it goes, Mom is a little too stressed out right now with everything else that is going on. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to devote the necessary time to it. This thing wets and poops...unbelievable! She came with her own little potty chair. Evidently, depending on how you hold her when she drinks, she'll either wet or cry. I'm seriously blown away!!
Emma is in love. We asked her what she wanted to name her and she said "Baby Holly"! I told her we already had a Baby Holly and maybe we should call her something else. She just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I don't think she liked my suggestion, lol! It's so amazing to watch her with the doll. She is such a sweet little mother, and very attentive to all her baby's needs.
We also found this adorable addition to the collection Grandma sent Emma. It's going to be great on those chilly autumn and wintry days! My cute little shmew!
