Flashback Friday

This week our neighborhood friends little boy was playing with his remote control car and I thought of the one that I got for Christmas in 8th grade. I remember that the only thing I wanted was a remote control car. I loved that thing, it was awesome. At the time we lived in a cul-de-sac and I would play with it all of the time. I would tease our dog and have her chase it everywhere. I wonder what ever happened to that thing.

Just Hangin Around the House

We haven't had a whole lot going on lately, and Emma was quite upset that I haven't had my camera out, so we took it out and took some random pictures.

Sunday Best

I thought that the kids looked cute on Sunday at church, so I figured that I would try and take some pictures of the kids after. Obviously they had enough of just sitting around, and would not hold still for a moment....not to self...do it before church next time. The only one that I loved was the one of Emma at the end. I thought that turned out cute.

Swimming

Emma has been interested in why Mommy has been so excited over swimming recently with the Olympics on, so we took her swimming tonight for FHE. She has been getting more and more comfortable in the pool, which I am thankful for. I guess if she is going to be serious about this whole swimming thing I should find her a swim suit that she doesn't hang out of...oppps!

Most Amazing Swimming Moment in History...

Many of you know that I have a background in Swimming. In case you missed the Olympics on
NBC last night, her is a link to the most amazing moment is swimming history ( I am not the only one to say so...many people believe the same). It was the Men's 4 x 100 Freestyle relay. And in case you missed all the trash talk that lead up to the event, basically the France team said...."We are going to crash the Americans". Someone needs to teach them (like the Americans had been taught) that actions speak louder than words. GO USA!

Let me know what you thought if you saw it...if not, take a look from the link i provided above. Let me know if you now think that swimming is exciting, if not, I will invite you over to watch a night of Olympic swimming with me, and I can guarantee that you will like it after that.

Felt Food Project

Tara and Jenny this is for you....

I was talking to some of my friends about some Christmas projects that I am doing. One of them is felt food. Here is a link to Homemade by Jill. Her Felt food is the cutest.

Then there is a tutorial on making felt eggs and oranges at Melissa Good Sell.

Her is another link I found with so many ideas.

Flashback Friday

This picture was taken on Christmas Morning when I was about 8. I was thinking about this during the week because I was making a list of things that I needed to make for the kids for Christmas. My dad and mom made this dollhouse for my sister and I. Inst it amazing! I remember loving it when I was a kid. Oh, and take a look at the another dress that my mom made for me. Isnt it awesome.

What is in your Purse

I had 3 diapers, a diaper wipes container (with no wipes), 2 granola bars, 1 sucker from the bank, Orbit gum, a notebook(grocery/note list), Baby Tylanol, 4 pens, 1 pencil, 3 lip glosses, 2 dimes, my wallet, and some wrappers...ALL in my purse/diaper bag.

Take a picture of ALL of the contents of your purse, then list them. Here is what was in mine. Nothing too exciting. Anyone reading that has a blog....Tag, your it!

Closet Project

This shows how I put in a bottom hanging rack after raising the top bar 3 inches. I love that I have the whole bottom rack to myself and a little side space for all of my long dresses. It worked out very well.


These are a before and after of the shelving that Nathan (Becky's Husband) so kindly helped build. It has doubled my folding space. I love it. I still have to paint, but I wanted to put it back together for Eric since he didnt know I was doing a project while he was gone out of town. By the way...he liked the results.

Flashback Friday

Happy Friday Everyone. We haven't been up to much. Our pool finally opened (now that half of the summer is over) and we have been enjoying the fun in the sun by staying cool in the pool. Emma started out a little hesitant, but now she is becoming a little fish. She loves it. Anyway, back to the picture.

This is a picture of me when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. I did a book report on the box car children books. This was my mobile.... A box that I painted to look like a box car. I remember loving those books when I was a kid. The funny thing is that I dont think that I even read the book by the time this picture was taken. I convinced my mom that I had read it (even though I hadn't) and she signed off on it. Don't you love the white washed overall jeans....totally 80's.
