Well I have a lot to blog about, but I will try and let the pictures do the talking so I don't bore you to death... and so I can go to bed sooner! Above is a shot I took of the 'flowers' Amalyssa gathered for me. They are really weeds from the front yard... but they are pretty weeds! She is so sweet... I love when she does nice things like this.
Saturday we finally got our family pictures taken! We have re-scheduled it 3 times! I was so excited to finally get them done. I will post some picts when we have them... but for now I have to wait for the photographer to work her photoshop magic. This was a picture of my stress the day before pictures though... trying to decide what to wear! I will never again laugh at people who call me for advice about this! I had it all planned out perfect... then the day was going to be cold... so it was a mad rush to try and figure something warmer out with out going back to the store. In the end we wore our 'original' outfits and I just gave in and let them wear jackets for most of them.... *sigh*
Scott got a new lawn mower! YEE HAW! He came home with his shinny new toy and excitedly asked "can I mow the lawn now?" I said... "You better do it... because this is the ONLY time you will ever be excited to mow the lawn."
We had a really nice Easter this year. Nothing fancy... just a nice quiet day. Here is Amalyssa in her new Easter dress. Braden didn't get a new outfit.... well... for pictures... just not for Easter. LOL
Here is a pict of the eggs we died. The kids had a great time as usual.... and I had fun scrapping it!
And last but not least... I MADE A DRESS! WOO HOO! Ok... so it was a really simple dress... but hey.. it is my first one and I was proud of it. I ran out of energy for scrapping so you just get the pictures. I have but one question....
Who taught my daughter to pose like this???
It wasn't me!!!
Better go buy a shotgun to scare the boys off......
And lastly I will leave you with a story that I find amusing.
Most of you know my mother is an AMAZING seamstress. If you didn't.... well now you know! As I was sewing this simple dress for Amalyssa she said
A- "When I am a mom and have girls that need dresses I am going to have Grandma Loveland sew them
M- "Why is that?"
A- "Because she does FANCY dresses"
M- "Well... I am not as good as Grandma Loveland but I wanted to make my little girl a dress... besides.. it is just an after church dress and dosent need to be fancy"
A- "Grandma Loveland could make it fancy"
..... this went on for a while.... I was feeling like a million bucks, let me tell you. In the end Amalyssa decided
"Well... when my little girls need after church dresses I will let you sew them.... but when they need church dresses I will have Grandma Loveland make them"
Watch out Grandma Loveland......
