Stress explosion, 60's goodness and some critters...

Some of you are aware that my life has exploded in stress. It's good, but very taxing and I am ready for the end of this chapter. We are getting a baby! He could come any day now and I am soooooo very excited. Unfortunately there are a lot of stressful and bad situations surrounding the family he is coming to us from so I would ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I will probably be doing a special fast on Sunday and would ask that any who are willing join me in fasting for this family. Many of the problems they have been facing have been brought on by bad decisions but I do know this, she didn't abort her baby and she is trying to give him a good chance so that has to amount to some good right? I hope so. Hopefully he comes real soon, it would be helpful to her and to us. PRAY!

Anyway, as I spent the last couple of days zooming from Goodwill to Goodwill in search of suitcases for this family so they would have something to put their stuff in (and hopefully not be living in the streets.) I found something that brightened my day. It was DI, which also brightened my day for having the last of the suitcases I needed. Someday in a few year or so I am planning to throw my mom and 60's party for her 60th birthday which of course is far far far far off, but check it out!



I know! It's perfect, I can't wait for the party now! I am going to be so stylin'! Just need some white go go boots methinks.

Also, previous to the stress explosion I have been crocheting my little fingers off. I don't have pictures of all but thought I would share a few things I have made lately.



These pictures makes me miss my house. My pillow and my couch. I made this robot for Gunner and my friend Melissa got this dolly to keep her company while I was away. She misses me lots. Williams can be a lonely place. :(



And I made this Koala for my new baby boy, whenever he decides he is ready to get here and be mine.


I made this doll to try to sell at a craft fair, it was a no go. If anyone is interested in her make me an offer. I could use the extra cash to prepare for the baby, but if not, she is very cute and I am sure I could find her a home.



So the jist of the story is this, please pray lots for this family and for me to stay sane, and I love you all.
The end.

It's Fun to be One!

Today is my dear sweet niece "Tater"'s birthday. She is one. Isn't that fun? Anyway, I found an outfit that I could not resist, and yesterday we snuck (? snuc snuk?) over to aunt Kathy's house for a photo shoot of one year old goodness. I figure she won't know much difference about presents now, and really how could I resist. I hope the parental units like them, for it was a bit of work.


First off Aunt Kathy suggested we put her in the planter like a beautiful rose, but she didn't really go for that.


See I told you, how could I resist such an outfit?


I think this is my favorite of the whole photo shoot. I just love her face. She is just so darn happy.

Can I eat this?


The light was not super fabulous so I had to work on coloring sometimes to make up for it. I couldn't steal the child without anyone knowing if I waited for a better light so we get what we get.


I call this next one princess arms.

I am waiting for the woodland creatures to come and join her.

Then I got all artsy, blasted shadows and light!














She was a good little model. Of course I was crawling around under a trampoline, and sticking my knee in rotten oranges, it was fun!




I love how happy she is to walk to you. Happy happy happy face!









Happy birthday peanut! I sure love you and hope you have a great birthday week!



And I hope your parents like their pictures. Happy birthday to them!

Fun with the family...

Last week were able to spend time with Jason's family. It's always nice to be able to do that and it's especially nice now that it's not a five hour drive! *throws confetti* We got to celebrate Grandma's 80th birthday. It was a lot of fun.

I saw interesting things like a great dane standing on a car.


And lots of children






But I found myself following one in particular. She is quiet but can cause quite a ruckus, and I wanted to be the one to catch the next one.



I liked how she tucked her feet in to twirl.


She doesn't look like much to be feared.


But don't let the smile fool you. She is a messer.


She even tried to throw us off by looking like she didn't like to get messy.
And I thought after dumping water on Aarons head and throwing sand, that I had caught my moment, but no, she's good and she waited until every, single, person in that house was distracted, and there were a lot of people.



That is when she swooped in and made her move. This next shot has been staged to appear how she was found.



Yes, a whole bag of flour dumped on the floor. You gotta a keep an eye on this one.

I remember being young and loving to swing. It was such a feeling of freedom.







Matthew is begging someone to give him and underdog.




Uncle Kevin to the rescue.



And Uncle Jason and Shaylee share some quality time on the swings. Swings bring people together.


And this is Aaron, why would anyone want to dump water on him? He's so cute.
We also had a chance to catch some wildflowers.







But the moral of the story is, if you happen to meet a certain little girl, keep an eye on her, she will get into trouble when your back is turned.
