Mylo Update

If I would let him he would play his DS all day long, but we don't, so she doesn't (unless we are on vacation or in the car for a loooong time). He lives and breaths Star Wars all the time. He has yet to figure out how to use the "forest" to get things done, but he still tries every once in a while. He still makes us laugh with all his funny and grown up things he says. Today, I asked him to run down stairs and get his jacket. He said, "mom, but I am dizzy, remember?! You get it, please". He was sick a few weeks ago and figured out that if you are dizzy you can just stay and do nothing. Of course I said, "fine, i will go get it". As I was running down the stairs he whispered "ha, it worked!" THE LITTLE BUGGER! I let it go since we were in a hurry to run out the door, but seriously the kid is just a nut! He has pulled this "i'm dizzy" bit a few times, he just doesn't want to do it.

He is in pre-school and he really enjoys it. He is a bit timid, but has managed to make friends. He has a lot of work to do with his writing and coloring, but I think he just gets bored with it all. If school was electronic he would have no problem at all :) As my schedule has gotten busier, I have not been the best at keeping track of all his stuff and I missed out on his field trip. I felt SO bad! He told me that there was a field trip that morning and I just said, not today. Seriously, the poor kid! I hope he forgets this soon and that I can make it up (at least for myself)

He can almost get away with anything so long as he looks at us with his puppy dog eyes that are almost irresistible!

Leah Update

Leah has been playing soccer for the first time this season. She really enjoys it. I can't say she is a natural but has definitely scored a few for the team. She often forgets what she is doing and "day dreams about Star Wars"... jajaaa. I think that is so funny. She told her coach that one time when she missed the ball :) Its a four on four girls team and for never playing before some of the girls are really good. It has been really fun to go watch her as a family and cheer her on.

She is getting SO big! She is loving school and making lots of friends. I volunteer at the school on Tuesdays, in her class, and its fun to see her interact with the other kids. She is a total social butterfly. Everyday when she gets home from school I ask her what her favorite part about school was that day and she always says, "recess." Seriously, we are in so much trouble later. I am sure the phone will be off the hook all the time. She is a lot of fun. I have been impressed with her school work and the progress she has made. She has found a lot of confidence in her reading and I love to see that.

My boys!

Dave is out of town! I hate it when he is out of town! I have gotten SO used to having him be home ALL the time that is makes me miss him even more. This is a long one too. He will be gone a full week. But, I think he needed a change of scenery and perhaps I needed to learn to appreciate him more than I do. He is in Orlando filming some Dew Tour stuff, for work (of course).

I love this picture because they have a similar expression and its cute :) Dave and Mylo can totally melt my heart and I feel very lucky to have these "boys" in my life. Just two of my many blessings.

THE update

Ashley and I have opened our etsy shop!!!

Check us out at ShabbyBands.etsy.com

This is why we have been so busy. We will soon have a blog giving you the latest information on where you can find our Shabby Bands and other products.

A HUGE thanks goes out to our kids, who have been towed around to fabric stores, the farmers market and been left to fend for themselves at times (j/k). Also to our husbands, who have had to deal with our 'crafty' mess almost on a daily basis.

TEN YEARS OF HAPPINESS!!!

I cannot believe Dave and I have been married ten years, today! Last night as we talked about what it was like ten years ago and what we were doing it was almost surreal to think of all the great things (and the occasional not so great things) that have taken place.

Here are a few pictures of pictures of our wonderful day...

(I have no time for this right now, so I will keep it very brief)...

I love, Love, LOVE Dave more than I can express. He is SO encouraging in all of the things I want to do. But best of all he helps me live my dream of being a stay at home mom.

TOGETHER FOR EVER...

Milli = TROUBLE

The other day I was cleaning up dinner and I turn around to find Milli on top of the kitchen table! I set her down and then she went right back up again! She is trouble!

Although I don't want her to climb up there I let her do it one more time so I could get these pics and I think she looks so cute up there :) Our other two never climbed on anything (at least that I can remember). When Milli does something she is not supposed to do, or when she takes a toy away from Mylo, or when she doesn't want to take her medicine, or when she doesn't want to go night night, she makes the cutest little face and runs as fast as she can in the other direction.

Birthday Counter

Leah was asking every day, sometimes a few times a day, how many days where still left for her b-day. So we made a counter last week and it has been really fun. We might just have to do it for every b-day!


The days are going by so fast! I can't believe my baby is going to be seven so soon!!!
