I made it!

I made this little dress for Aubba a couple days ago. Since then I've made many more... I start to sew, then I become an addict. Don't make me start. It's my first attempt at any clothing piece and I think I did a pretty good job! Here's the tutorial if you want to make one too for your cute little girl. If I can do it so can you!

the latest and greatest.

As many of you know Will had a birthday just recently, here are some pictures of his party. Will wanted an Astroboy cake, I called the DQ and asked if they knew who Astroboy was, they said "no". So I printed off a picture and dropped it off and they said they'd see what they could do. I went to pick it up the next day and I've got to hand it to those little mennonite girls at the Dairy Queen. For not knowing who Astroboy was, they did a pretty good job, kudos ladies.

Here's Will and Aubba ready for church on Will's actual birthday. Aubrey is 2 and she knows it! Will on the other hand is a little confused on his age, it's still fresh. 4, Will, you are now 4.

AND little Penny Pincher turned 1 month on that same day! Isn't she just the cutest!?!

OH and on a side note, I got Will, Aubrey and Penny's pictures back today, taken by THIS fancy lady. I ordered an AWESOME GIGANTIC canvas, I'm so in love. Thanks Kyla! If you ever get the chance you NEED to get Kyla to take your pics, she makes you look hot, and somehow makes your kids look cuter then they already are. She's MAGIC!

March 28th 2006 - 9:48 pm. We met Will for the first time. I remember looking over, watching him being cleaned off and falling completely in love. My boy.

Will is seriously the best ever.

He's a great driver...

and an even better dancer.

But what we love most of all about him is his big toothless grin!

Will is one of my best friends, he's happy and helpful and so smart!

He can out eat a grown man at a breakfast table.

He loves to practice riding on his new bike.

He loves to color and can write his name and can write all of his letters.

His favorite drink is milk and vanilla squirt (Nesquik).

He loves to help, anything from sweeping, cooking or emptying the dishwasher. No task is too small, he'll do it!

He says things that make me laugh ... such as, "Old people are DISGUSTING."

He thinks Astroboy is the coolest movie around.

He sings.

See, I told you he's the best!!!

happiness

....it's contagious, we all have it!!!

We did it! Our baby is here! Our whole family is just so happy to have a itty bitty baby around the house. I don't really know what else to write other than we are doing great. Penny is healthy and strong and we're grateful for that. I am on the mend after my c-section and just got 'unstapled' today. We love our brand new shiny little Penny.

the harlem crowns and perfect timing.

We've had an interesting week to say the least! A team called the Harlem Crowns came to Taber (they're kind of like the Globetrotters, but not as high class???) Andy got asked to play against them on the Rebels Alumni team. It was so fun to watch Andy get razzed a little and get his bum pinched, pants pulled down, dunked on, etc. etc... a good night! Here's the best picture I took of Andy, anybody want to donate to the Evanson new camera fund? It's about time we upgrade. I hate every picture it takes, not the subjects just the quality, bruuuutal.

Aubrey had what you would call a 'bad day' yesterday! First she was over at my Dad and Dix's house and ran right into the corner of the fridge (that's the purple bump on the top right of her forhead in this picture) then later on that same day she was outside playing with Will and a bunch of our neighbor kids and they brought her to our door bawling and looking like this.

Now this is one part of being a mom that I love. I love blood, I know weird. I revel in it. If my kid gets hurt I love playing nurse, I should have been a nurse (maybe I still will one day), in a trauma room. That's how much I love blood. Anyways I cleaned her up and tried to get it to stop the best a could. I noticed though that the cut was quite large and that if I just put a bandaid on it, it'd become a pretty big scar. So I zipped her over to the clinic and they glued that baby shut. Hopefully she won't have that big of a mark. And if she does I guess it's just the first of many little scars and scratches she'll get in her life!

Feeling better earlier this morning! or maybe Aubrey is just so happy because of the fact that she's going to become a big sister in less then 24 hours!! We have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning bright and early and we get to FINALLY FINALLY meet the newest member of our family! EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I'm so excited!

Today I uploaded our pictures from our camera onto the computer FINALLY! I found this one and just cracked up, it's Aubreys' first "official" slicked back ponytail and I was instantly reminded of a certain butt whooping, law enforcing, dojo master. Spitting image.
