Take a Guess!

On the subject of gender, my wonderful family held a baby shower for me up in Oregon/Idaho this weekend.   My Aunt was at the Dollar store trying to find balloons for decorations but everything said "its a boy" or "its a girl".   Since we don't know yet, she was having a hard time deciding what to get; she asked the clerk, "what do you do if you don't know the gender?"  The clerk was not helpful so my Aunt just said she would take one of each since its bound to be girls, boys or both!  The Clerk's answer?  "Are you sure?"   Um yep, pretty sure they will be some combination of boys and girls.  Seriously?  What else would they be???

So in the spirit of gender, I added a new poll to our blog, take a guess on what you think our twins will be!  We find out Friday, assuming they behave!  We can't wait!

Christmas in July

You may have noticed the lack of posts for the last couple of months. Well, I've been really busy "cooking" up an extra special (OK, a COUPLE extra special) Christmas in July surprises.  They have pretty much occupied all of my energy the last few months and I'd like to share them with you now.    Only, after all this work, they STILL aren't ready!     So here is a sneak peak....

Stay tuned for updates and a full reveal in 6 months (give or take)!

Another baby blanket!

Here's the latest blanket I made for my newest nephew who will be coming in a few weeks!

This is a pretty horrible picture.  I was in a hurry to get it shipped off and didn't take the time to make sure the lighting was good, or better yet take it outside.   I was excited when I saw this quilt pattern because its so hard to find cute boy quilts!   I decided not to put any batting in it to make it more like a blanket.   But I line the back with super soft minky fabric so it will still be super comfy!

I miss the Pearl!

So this little lady called me today and left me a happy birthday message, complete with song and a BIG I love you!   I mean, seriously, how does that not make your day!

I only wish I could scoop her up right now and give her a big squeeze!

We miss you Sadie Pearl!

Early Birthday Present

So giddy about this one!  I have been asking and asking and begging and pleading for this for a LONG time!  Ever since I heard about it i HAD to have one!  I know its completely not a necessity, but I am so stinking excited that Adam finally broke down and got it for me!!!!
