WHO'S READY FOR DISNEY???

I have been super busy on my embroidery machine the last few weeks!! Trying to make everyone look cute for our Disney trip!! The days are counting down fast. We can't wait!! I still have two shirts to make. Granddaddy and Grandma Tee should have shirts by tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoys their shirts!! Mickey and Minnie, we are ready for you!!!

Leah's World!!

This is Leah's life. Day in......... day out!! This is her job. Take care of those babies!! There are quite a few. She is going to be a good mama!! She is already got one thing down. Sleeping with a baby on her!!! Now if we could just put a brick on the baby so she would really know what if feels like, and have the baby cry everytime she drifted back off to sleep. That would be good practice!!

Little Miss Emma

Emma has a new look. She is really starting to act older, attitude and all!! I guess this just happens all the sudden. She has been trying to let her bangs grow out, so I decided to get her hair cut pretty short, and blend those bangs in a little more. It turned out really cute. Every time I cut her hair shorter I like it better. Speaking of acting older, we were in Target a couple of weeks ago, and I reached out to hold her hand. She snatched her hand back. She promptly said, “I don’t have to hold your hand in Target!!” It really hurt my feelings, but I tried not to let her know it. I knew this day would come, but I must admit, I wasn’t ready for it on that day in Target. One more act of growing up, we were getting ready for a yard sale a week or so ago, and she brought me a pair of Dora sunglasses that she has been wearing without complaint, and said “sell these.” I said, “you may need those in Disney”. “I don’t want you to get a headache from the sun”(knowing that I had already bought her a new pair of Hannah Montana glasses for the trip). She said, “I am NOT wearing those sunglasses in Disney, I am not 2 years old”. “SELL THEM, I don’t care if I get a headache.” I guess you have to draw the line somewhere!! Might I add that I am pretty tired of seeing Dora myself. I was happy to sell the glasses. She got her new sunglasses on report card day. Straight S’s. We are so proud of Emma and how hard she works at school. She had to work hard for those S’s and she deserved a special surprise!!

Mrs. Frugality

You all know how frugal we can be over here. Here was my latest attempt. The girls had a few pair of jeans that I hated to get rid of. They were still in really good condition, they were just getting to short. Well, I decided to make capris out of them. I didn’t want them to look like I had just cut them off and sewed them up, so I came up with this idea. I must say they don’t look like a professional did them, but the kids move around so much, no one will know the difference. I was right proud of myself, and the girls LOVE them. Some of my friends want me to do their kids pants. NO THANK YOU!! Don’t have enough time for that, and honestly, those pants legs are so small they are hard to get the ribbon on straight, and the machine to do just right!! Wonder what I will come up with next?

Happy Easter!!

We hope you all had a great Easter. We are still on a sugar high over here!! That Easter Bunny should think more before he brings all that candy. Here are a few pictures of the girls and their baskets, and a couple of them ready to go to church. The pictures of them going through their baskets aren't the greatest. I was doing an exercise video when taking the pictures. Emma & Leah are on spring break this week, so we will be hanging out together and having a good week.

We're Still Here!!

This is a post to let you all know we are still here. I have been really busy, and this blog has taken a back seat. Hopefully soon I will be able to post some pictures of the girls on here. We have a lot going on. Emma has a piano recital this month that she is working hard to memorize her piece, and Leah has a dance recital next month that I am hoping she will preform at!! I am finishing up my Kindermusik semester, and then we will be leaving for Disney in 4 weeks. The kids are so excited and so are the adults. We haven't ever taken a trip like this before, and can't wait for it to get here. I know that we will be soooo tired. We won't have any time to relax, but I hope it will be a good memory for the girls.
With Easter coming up I am sure I will have some sweet pictures to post. Stay tuned............sweet pictures will be up before you know it!! Enjoy your holiday weekend!!
Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for checking on us, and keep being patient. I will have more time on my hands soon.

2009

I hope everyone has had a great start to the new year!! We have been busy and I haven't had time to update the Christmas pictures!! It will take sitting down for awhile and lately all I have been doing is planning our trip to Disney!! That is right, we are actually going to Disney in May. I never thought that we would actually be able to afford to go, but because Todd is full time military now, we get a wonderful deal, and we couldn't pass it up. All of this has unfolded in the last 2 days. I have been a very busy woman!! Granddaddy, Grandma Tee, Kenneth, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Randy, Jackson, Eli, Todd, Myself, Emma and Leah are going. We will wait and see if Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Malissa jump on board. I think we could talk them into it!! Come on it's not everyday that you get to see Mickey and Minnie!!
