Sadie the 8

My eight year old girl

who hasn't a curl

but loves all that's curly and pink

she smiles and cries

and bats her bright eyes

and is spoiled a little I think

my eight year old girl

and the 2 boys beside her

are what make my life so darn good

her birthday has come

she's grown up and soon gone

but for now, I'll enjoy her wink;) wink ;)

EGGS

So, have I mentioned my egg problem? It's getting worse...over the weekend I tasted a couple of treats with eggs in them (lemon square, and a brownie) after which both made me totally sick! WHAT IS THE DEAL? Are my treat eating days over? :) he he he he he ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Is this just a temporary problem? I don't like the idea one bit! It hasn't always been this bad... nly when I would eat an egg plain. I guess I should give it a rest for a while! So, farewell my egg friends!

Sorry, can't chat...

Birthday Boy and the cloudy sky

Can you even believe that my baby is 1 year old? I sure can't...

He's THE BIG 1
We had cousins here to celebrate... we had so much fun! Andy had a good ol time with the cupcake and then promptly had a bath and went to sleep. It was all the fun he could handle

Just as soon as he woke up... there were presents awaiting. This one had custom wrapping (which I thought was a really cute touch thanks to his big brothers and sister...)

Bright Shiny and New....

This goes out to all my Arizona friends... I made this smocked sun dress today after seeing this cute and easy pattern on Martha Stewart. You know me... I obsess about making these things and have made 2 going on 3. So, for Holly who gave me this Thai Silk in the first place... Thank You! Kristen - totally thought of you while making this... are you proud of me? RaDean, you totally need to make one of these for your little E. Aubri, don't you think Aliya would love one? And everyone else who has an inkling to sew... this is a way fun and easy project.... Sadie is looking a little ragged... but loves the dress. I've also made one for the neighbor, and am working on a shorter version for shirt for Sadie. Send me some fabric... I'll totally make you one.

If you are rolling your eyes at me right now... keep in mind I do these kinds of projects for more reasons than one... like you know, keeping me out of the kitchen, keeping me pleasant with my kids, keeping my hands busy, and because I have learned to totally enjoy sewing and creating quick and easy projects. ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
