My projects

I finished! I made party santa dresses for my girls, 2 quilt throws for my sister Danna, who takes everything back and for my darling Sister-in-law Shannon. Hope they liked them.

christmas eve

There is nothing like your momma's home cooking. We had home-made pizza for christmas eve dinner. I really think my mom should go in business. SSSOOOOO! YUMMY!!!

Santa shopping

Yesterday I got to go finish up on (santa....sh!) gifts for the girls. As I am putting on my clothes, Lex comes up to me and asks; "Where are we going?" I respond: "We are not going. Mommy is going christmas shopping and you get to stay home with Addison and Daddy!) Her response: "Well Mom you and stay here and play with us, because Santa brings the gifts!"

And what a day I had, the things we do for our kids! I went to 3 different walmarts and one walmart I went in 3 times to get what I wanted. I should hope Lexi loves this bike that I worked so hard to get.

ragging out my mom's Christmas tree!

I just finished 20 feet of rag garland for my mother's tree last night, or should I say early this morning. I now have a thousand more things to get done before christmas. Anyways I had a ton of scraps from another project and I decided since my mother loves her patriotic christmas tree, thats what I would do. While I was ragging out with my mom's garland, I watched the "Story of US" oh my goodness I forgot that movie. The scene where (Meg Ryan) is talking to her girlfriends in the beginning is so funny! about the toilet paper roll being empty and men not changing it...."Does he not see it! DOES HE NOT SEE IT!!!"

Lexi's first hunting experience

Ok so Saturday after thanksgiving SEth took Lexi for a hunting trip. She was soooo excited, but this was question number 1... Do I get to shoot it? ummmm, NO! was what I thought, but I refrained and said no, only daddy's get to shoot. number #2 Will he shoot a Doe, that's the mamma dear mom, or will he shoot the Buck, thats the daddy dear mom? WHAT!?! how did she already know that. Sorry Lex, not sure what you guys will see out there today. question #3 or more like a statement, Well mom I will be sure to not let him shoot any fawn's! Ok Lex! As you can see Daddy Seth has had plenty of time to explain too much!

This is what I get to hear when she gets back. Mom my feet hurt, the grass went through my shoes! I stayed under the tree with Dad, I was too scared to climb the ladder. I fell asleep on the ground, but Daddy woke me up and I saw a deers tail, it was a doe. I had so much fun!!! mom can I go again! please!?! Well I don't have to tell you, but Seth was so proud!!! hahaha

my Addi loves her babies

So my youngest Addi loves Babies! And my intention for christmas was to get Addi a new baby and baby bed, because she loves to put the dolls to sleep and tell everyone sh! It's so cute! And then a couple of weeks ago a very very sweet lady at my church asked me if I would want an antique metal baby doll bed. I am so excited because I had decided to fix up this adorable bed for Addison. She delivered the bed when I was shopping black friday with my mom and sisters so Lexi has seen it and will not stop talking about it darn it! So yesterday I told Lexi I called one of Santa's elves and he was going to come get the bed late tonight and redo it for Addi and deliver it on christmas eve and we can't talk about it because it is our little secret. I can't believe it but Lexi totally has gone along with this! So for the next couple of weeks when the kiddos go to bed I will be at the sisters house redoing this metal bed and making a cushion for it. Wish me Luck!

McDonalds

What a sad looking group! You would think my kids would be more excited to get McDonalds, since they have been begging for old macdonalds(thats what Lex calls it) for a while. I was a little tired of the holiday stuff and needed a little grease. haha
