New additions to the family

Introducing:
Daisy (blue-tick) and Willie (red-tick)
and Socks

I forgot to post pics from my cousin's wedding...

Here are some pictures from my cousin's wedding. This is the wedding Allie was a flower girl and I made their headpieces and the wedding favors.
This is by far my favorite picture. I couldn't in a million years catch these two in the act like this again if I tried. This is what I'm talking about...WHY do they have to do stuff like this?????!!!!
Cousin's Katie and Tyson, and man can they dance!
All 3 kids plus Brandy.
Sarah, the beautiful bride before the wedding...
Dad and daughter dance.
Mother of the bride and sister/maid of honor.

Ella's Birthday



Ella had a really good birthday (at least that is what she says). She said she wanted white cake with pink icing, sprinkles and Polly's on it. So, that's what she got. She got a lot of Polly Pockets, a Barbie and a scooter with a basket and bell on the handle bar. She really likes the scooter cause she can ride around with Bubby and Sissy when they are on their bikes. She got to dress up in her Halloween costume and do a little trick or treating with them later on that night too. She had a pretty exciting day. I just can't believe she's 4 already!!!!!

Ella's First Field Trip






Ella had her first field trip with her preschool class yesterday. She got to ride a bus for the first time and she was pretty excited about that. They went to Slow Poke Farm which is about 3 miles from our house. She got to feed cows, chickens, goats, and a turkey. They went on a hayride and they had two mazes for the kids to go through. Ella was the only one there who cried and threw a tantrum. I felt so lucky! But I guess she had a good time anyway. It's a really nice place and the owners are the greatest! They are so nice and friendly. I highly recommend taking the kids there if you have a chance. Tomorrow is Ella's 4th birthday so I'm off to bake a cake (and finish up the Halloween costumes).....

October



As soon as the month of October hits my kids start thinking Halloween and then pester me about their costumes. I make them every year so it's my fault for getting it started. Ella is going to be a fairy princess. Allie is going to be the Corpse Bride from Tim Burton's movie. Caleb, well, I don't know what he is exactly. Just scary. He has a black hooded robe and a medieval spear. I got a Jason hockey mask and glued plastic bugs all over it so that when you look into his hood you see a face made of bugs. He thinks it's cool and it was a lot easier than the girls' costumes so that is a bonus!

Craft Show









Well my first craft show didn't go as well as I wanted. I talked with a lady next to me who does them on a regular basis and she was very helpful. The craft show was part crafts and part flea market so the yard sale stuff may have taken away from the crafts. Oh well, I learned alot anyway. I have two more in November which are strictly crafts and hope to do better. I got a lot of inquiries about the different looms I had set out. I had some from most of the loom vendors that are on line. Hopefully I'll be sending some business there way!
