Father's Day 2009

This year Noah and I made gifts for Daddy! We made a stepping stone with Noah's hand and foot prints in it and Noah painted a picture frame for him. And yes, he really painted it himself. I helped guide his little hand sometimes but he had the paintbrush the whole time. He loved it!

Noah's 1st Trip to the Zoo

We had so much fun at the zoo this morning. I think Noah loved it! He walked all around like a big boy without like trying to run off or anything. If there was a little pond or something sometimes he wanted to get in, but he did really well for the most part. It got really hot after a little while though. We were all worn slap out by the time we left. But it was fun and we took like a thousand pictures! Here are a few, and I'll try to put the rest in an album.

"Raf right dere, Mommy!"

"BIG kitty cat!"

I've Been Monogramming!

Well I FINALLY learned how to use my machine! I know, I know, it took long enough! But I did finally learn and now I'm having so much fun!!! Thank you Courtney for my lessons! Without your assistance it would probably still be sitting in the box! Ha! Anyway, now I'm kinda out of control, it's kinda all I do. But I decided to take a break tonight to catch my blog up. I'm sure I'll be right back to it tomorrow though! =) Some of these aren't the greatest pictures but you can get an idea of what they look like.

My first ever! It's a burp rag (that I actually haven't sewed the fabric on yet, but I'm gonna)

Practice onesies


Colonel Reb was kinda a big deal, so I had to practice him on a burp rag first. Thank goodness I did, cuz the thread kept getting hung and breaking my needles. I went through a whole pack, and it took me pretty much all day to finish, but doesn't he look good! =)

Pillowcase dress I made and monogrammed...


...with matching "Hotty Toddy" hair ribbon! =)

I spiffed up my old plain white scrub jacket (not sure if you can tell, but the teeth have braces and it says 'Smile Specialist'!)

Cute little burp rags

Noah's new beach towel! I think I'm most proud of this one, because I had to move the hoop for each letter and managed to keep it halfway straight and it did take a small eternity! But I LOVE it!

Jason Aldean concert

We had such a blast at the Jason Aldean concert! Man, that guy puts on an awesome concert! You know how some people really don't sound that good live? Well not this guy. He sounds just like the radio! I like him even better now.

Swimming and Popcicles

This was Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. Noah had such a blast playing in his pool and he enjoyed his popcicle too! =)

Another Bag

Summer Fun

After Noah's nap this afternoon, he was bound and determined that he wanted to be outside, but it had been raining and was wet out there, so....we got out his sprinkler! He had such a blast playing in the "wah-la". =)
