Little Ballerina

Amelia has completed her first semester of ballet. She LOVED it and is looking forward to her next class.

The Little Cousins Visit

Terry and the boys came to Portland for their spring break. I would like to say they enjoyed it but the rain kinda ruined that!! Not a good first impression for these young-ins. We still made the best of it and enjoyed having them here. We headed downtown on a day that it wasn't raining to take some photos for my Mom's 60th birthday.

Amelia's 5th

My how time flies! Our baby girl is 5 and I still can't get over the fact that she will start school next fall!! Here are some pictures of her small gumball themed birthday party.



Ben and the kids made this gumball poster to play 'pin the gumball on the machine' so cute, right?

Happy 3rd Carter!

Our sweet little boy turns 3 today! He is such a joy and so COMPLETELY different from his sister- it's amazing! He has a huge love for trains, cars and pretty much anything else a little boy would like. We love you Carter Dillon!

First Sewing Project

Here it is, the first thing I sewed (semi) by myself. I had assistance from my Mom but for the most part I did the whole thing from start to finish myself. I made this apron for Hannah (Ben's niece) for her birthday. She LOVES baking and anytime we're around her she is whipping up something yummy for us to enjoy. When I saw this fabric I instantly thought of her and decided to try my hand at sewing. Stay tuned for pictures of my next project... a small quilt for baby Noah (Ben's nephew.)

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm well overdue for a blog entry so I thought this weekend would be a good chance to post one. I just want to share how greatful I am to have a wonderful, caring and great friend like my Mom in my life. I feel extra greatful to have married into such a wonderful family and to have such a great mother-in-law!! I wish all the Mother's out there a happy and joyous day- may you be celebrated!!
