Crafty Craziness

I have been busy with learning how to knit on a loom and making some fun sewing projects.

I knitted a hat for each of the kids for Valentines and then knitted a few extra for Zoe. She also knitted a hat for a friend and a hat for a friends American Girl doll for her birthday. It's great to see her excited about something that she made for a friend.

The two blue and white hats on the left are for the boys, the two in the middle for Zoe, cream colored one for a baby, and the three on the right are for Zoe's friends birthday's two for dolls and one for her friend.

Zoe's twirl skirt I made for her for a late birthday present.

I made a matching skirt for her doll.

Birthday Fun

The boys had a pirate birthday party and it was a blast!

We had a fun pirate ship cake and some fun games.
Lucas loved his cake! He started small but soon had it everywhere!

Zach actually ate his cake with a fork this time. But really enjoyed it!
Lucas enjoyed a small bath in the sink after eating his cake.

We played a game with donuts on strings. They were supposed to just use their mouths and not their hands but the little ones got tired and cheated.
Where is the donut?
Lucas' smash cake!
He loved his cake and we were smart this time and blew out the candle before he could reach it!

Zach blew out the candles and was very excited about the ship cake.

Pre-Halloween fun!

We found this cute costume at a thrift store and it was perfect with his ears we got 2 years ago at Disneyland! After putting it on he smiled a great smile then stated "Let's go!" "Where?" I asked "To my clubhouse!"
I made pumpkin seeds while they carved pumpkins. They turned out yummy this year!
Zoe carved two pumpkins all by herself this year! She pick the designs and did everything herself.
Jerry helped Zach carve this. What that means is that Zach tried to stab the pumpkin Jerry stopped him a few times and tried to redirect him to where he needed to cut then he ran off to play and Jerry finished. :)

Zoe carved this ghost too!

My little bat baby!

Lucas' fun Halloween outfit I made the leggings out of knee high socks.

I made this dress and bow for Zoe and we found these cute tights to go with it!

Fun Halloween Cookies and Diapers

Zoe had fun decorating some Halloween cookies and I decieded that is how we are doing cookies from now on. Buying the store bought sugar cookies and then decorating them with fun gel icing. Less stress and no tears from burnt or broken cookies.

I have been working on some fun Halloween diapers and I think they turned out really cute.

I made two jack-o-lantern ones and then one candy corn diaper. I am going to try to finish one more so they will have five Halloween diapers. (one for last year)

Please ignore the mess. That is just a few mins after I cleaned it. The boys love to dump out their toys :)

Birthdays

So Zach just turned three and he had a fun Birthday but can you believe I forgot my camera! We took him for lunch at McDonald's and he played in the playplace, then we took him to Jumpin Jack for 3 hours and he was all over that place! He loved it! After that I lost my mind and tried to take him for Birthday pics and they didn't really turn out. We got one cute one of him with his Lala sucking his fingers. I will post it later.

In less than a month Lucas turns 1! I took his pics with a cupcake for the invitation and boy are they cute! I am biased though.

Lucas Dancing

Life this last month....Crazy buzy!!!

Bows and Flowers for Zoe's hair. This year I decided to get a jump on holiday bows.

A very tired Lucas has started to fall asleep in his high chair at dinner because he refuses to sleep until he has to hold still to eat then crashes hard.

Then Zoe started at her actual school building the second week in September. She is really starting to make new friends and love her school. I knew she would once she got over the two things she didn't like 1. leaving her friends from her old school 2. Wearing uniforms (no High School Musical shirts or Jonas shoes :( )

Well this month started with a fun mini vacation "camping" in Enterprise with family over Labor Day weekend. The reason I say "camping" is cause we stayed in a hotel and camped during the day. We cooked out, roasted marshmellows, the boys (Zachary, Lucas and Dallas) played in the dirt and Zoe have fun with her cousins.

Isn't he so cute while learning how to walk on lumpy grass!

Silly boys being silly.

I have been a slacker but here goes
