Our New Addition

Iam so excited to introduce to you the newest addition to our family. I have had to keep it a secret since April... Now the big reveal... Please welcome our little guy... his name is Paxton and he joins me, my husband and a big sister. He was born on June 24 2008 and was 7.5 lbs 18.6 inches long. Special love goes out to our "belly mommy", because our little angels have 2 mommies... one grows them in her tummy and I growthem in my heart.

One Quilt for 2 Challenges

Just finished last night one of my Summer Stash Quilts. And yes, all of the fabrics on top and on the bottom except for the circle fabric on the back is from my stash.

The quilt measures 40x50 and is 80 5" squares with 40 different fabrics. Got the idea from Amy over at Happythings blog.

I am also using this as one of my quilts for the 5 before the end of July challenge.

A Trip to the Strawberry Patch

This week I took my sweet girl to the strawberry patch. The mission was to have a great time and to get enough berries to make freezer jam. Oh and an excuse to make her a strawberry
shortcake sundress.

A Date with "Ginger and Amy".

I am so in love with these fabrics. It is a mix

of Amy Butler's Midwest Modern and Ginger Blossom but I also noticed a Kaffe Fassett print in there too. It is the 4th from the left. Anyway these little beauties (all 18 of them) are going into a quilt. I will post when finished.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

My baby girl turned 5 today! Where has the time gone?? She has been so excited for her birthday and today it finally came. We played with her all day long. Took her to a movie, out to dinner, to a play place, to Toys r us so she could use a gift card she got. Here she is in her birthday outfit compliments of mommy.

Happy birthday Rachael Bug.

Mommy and Daddy love you! xoxo
