November/December 2009

These are in no particular order. In fact I think they are backwards. lol

What do your kids do when you pack all of their toys without thinking? They make a mouse house!

Marah enjoying the snow

Naomi not really sure what it was

Christmas Eve reading the bible

The three older kids and Joe went to zoo lights.

Someone turned 9!!

Gingerbread cookies

Drawing with Daddy

They played dress up

This is a game called Star Mars. Think StarCraft and Mars Mission combined. The kids made it and its really quite fun.

Michael checked out this book from the library and fell in love with it. Its The Little Red Hen only with a burrow who grows corn and makes tortillas.

We of course had to make our own tortillas.

If you haven't heard yet we are moving! This Saturday to be exact. The house is wonderful and on an acre. We are super excited. Not sure how much blogging I will be doing as the house is so far out in the country that the options are dial up or satellite. Satellite is not in the budget yet so we are giving the stone ages, I mean dial up, a go. I posted more about the move over on my blog with some pictures and I will try to get new house pics up there if I can later. have a great 2010 everyone!!

Sewing Alley

I've been busy and hope to do a photo update of the last month soon. It is the holiday season which means bazaars and lots of sewing for me. I am excited to announce that Sewing Alley is (finally) re-opening on November 6th! Previews are up now. You can see them here. I am also still stocking toys on the first Tuesday of every month at Hidden Element Congo on Hyena Cart.

The giveaway is still going on over at Sewing Alley Blog as well! Make sure you check it out and enter for a special gift from Sewing Alley. Get the details by clicking on the link above.

December 2008 Catch Up

December 2008 Catch up. Lots of photos with birthdays and holidays.

Our attempt at a family Christmas photo.

Madeline's birthday was snowy!

Opening presents

A pink Ipod!!

She was kind of bummed when she woke up to snow as she had hoped for a sunny birthday. We found her a sunny cake instead.

I had to take these pictures of Joe as he got ready for work one very cold morning. The socks are his, the leg warmers are Michael's. LOL

Clearing off the car and driveway

A Nomy proofed Christmas tree.

A huge puddle formed in one section of the chicken run and we did not know. We found out when it froze and that section of roof started bowing in.

A winter wonderland

Such a thick layer of ice and you can see the different freezes in there

We made a snowman

I love this picture of Maddy!

Nomy was cozy warm as I helped roll the snow man.

Frosty the Jedi Knight!

As close to a picture of Michael as I got. Look how red his hands are!!!

Opening their one present on Christmas Eve. They open the rest in the morning.

We gave Marah some books.

The girls gave Michael some Lego's.

Michael and Marah gave Maddy these shoes she has been wanting for over a year.

Nomy got a shoe box.

Christmas morning. Marah is old enought now to really get excited about Christmas.

We found Marah a vintage Fisher-Price barn and silo on Craigslist.

A brick set for Michael. I think it was 600 ir so all different sized bricks.

A doll for Maddy.

Later that day Michael took a bunch of pictures. Madeline was not enjoying her little brother right then. She got this robe for Christmas.

All right. Its Febuary 2nd and I am finally caught up with 2008's photos. Now to do January 09 and I will really be caught up. LOL
