Just Call Me Susie Homemaker!

That's right, I've been sewing!

First off, I made Landry a diaper bag a few months ago that I am very pleased with, although I do not have a picture of it. Then I made him a "Rag" quilt. It was fun and easy to do. And yesterday I made him a "taggy." I am actually enjoying it, even though it is really hard to find the time to sew since the little monster follows me and mashes the sewing machine presser foot down, so the needle goes 300 mph (but we won't go there!)

Here's his taggy, I think it turned out pretty good and the kid is OBSESSED with tags of any kind, so I thought this would be perfect! But for some reason he tends to only chew on the red ones on here! Weird.

Here's the completed Rag Quilt. I only made it 36 x 36. So it's a perfect size for the little man.

Here's a close up of the front of the quilt
And here's showing what the back looks like compared to the front! Cute, huh?!

Well, that's it for my susie homemaker skills of the day! I found a bunch of firefighter material, so my next project is making Chris a quilt for the station. We'll see how that goes!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Have a wonderful day!

Does this need words?

Well, hmmm. I don't really know if I should even write anything to go with these pictures or not. Let's just say that Landry REALLY enjoyed his dinner last nite. He obviously thinks he's a very big guy and can feed himself now. What do you think?

Have a fabulous weekend!

Prepare yourself for a picture overload! But luckily, I'm only posting a *few* of the pictures I took of our mini-vaca!

We left Saturday morning after Chris got home and headed for Monument Lake and we got home yesterday afternoon! We had such a great time and were sad to come home so soon but we cannot wait to go back! Enjoy!

Landry excited to bounce again
Getting out of the car finally! Having a seat for a little while!

The resident campsite bear, and yes, I only got a picture of his rear-end

I purposefully caught this "minnow" sized trout for Landry... wink, wink

He couldn't figure out why he could see out of his playpen but wasn't able to crawl out! He would rock back and forth repeatedly hitting his head against the mesh!

Hanging out with daddy while we all fished

We had to rig the dining table bed so he couldn't fall out. First off, he figured out fast he could stand up and play with everything we had shoved behind the cushions and second of all, he slept awful, literally.

Terry and Landry fishing

I love his expression! Terry had the great idea of putting Landry in his backpack so we could all go fishing! It actually worked pretty good!

Do you see the snow on the mountain? Yep, on Monday it snowed/rained/sleeted on us! And on our way to the lake we noticed that it had actually covered the mountain!

Like I said, that's only a few pictures from our trip. We had such a blast, caught tons of fish, had a resident camp bear, were super dirty, sad to come home and counting the time til we go back!

And lastly...

I LOVE flamingo's. I have a very odd obsession with them. When we pulled up at our house yesterday afternoon, I saw some pink things in our front yard. After investigation, I learned that the Cancer Society is doing a pink flamingo fundraiser and for a donation, they will fill a yard with flamingo's! How awesome is that? My sister in law gave a donation in my name therefore my front yard was a pink paradise! I in turn, donated to have some yards filled. My granddad passed away from pancreatic cancer and I cannot think of a better cause to help. We all miss him greatly and I pray they find a cure so families will quit having to suffer the loss of a loved one. Here's to you grandpa!
