Happy birthday

Well, Sam had his not so surprise bday party tonight. He had a really great time though. I cant believe he is 30! That means that is what I am heading for in AUGUST! I am thinking 30 will not bother me. It is 31 that will kick me to the ground, stomp on me and leave me crying. Why do you ask. Well, you get to have a fun party at 30 (that everyone makes a big deal of) because you have hit the next huge milestone of birthdays. When you turn 31 it sinks in that whoa buddy, you are getting on up there. Plus the NEXT big one the you have will be 40! It seems like no one cares about 31 through 39. I say we should have a blowout party every year until 40! Enough of my rant. I havent even hit 30 yet. I am thinking I may take it harder now after this post! HA! Love you Sam and I am glad to have spent the last 10 birthdays with you!

Burp cloths

I finished half of an order for a friend today! Go me. I am cranking em out! HA! I thought they were cute and simple.
Sorry, I didn't rotate the pic. I have been really busy since I announced that I am home next year. I am really excited about this opportunity. Pray for me as I go along. I have prayed for a long time for God to send me a sign (other than my husband) what I needed to do. Let me just tell ya, when you ask for one you get hundreds! HA!

Next year

Hello! It has been a while. SOrry I have fallen of the blogging wagon. It has been crazy around here. I have been making stuff like crazy and trying to put my house back together. In all of that Sam and I have been doing some serrious thinking and praying about my work situation next year.
I am the type that loves being a stay at home mom. I take great pride in raising my child and keeping him close to me. I went back to work last year just to help a little with the bills. I have felt really guilty and like I wasnt taking care of my family like I should be. Jake went to Trinity with me and started the preschool program. He will be entering KINDERGARTEN next year! Sam and I have really been praying about this for a long time. We feel that I need to be home and will be homeschooling Jake next year!
I am really excited/scared all at the same time. I have my degree in education so it isnt the teaching part. There is just so much stuff/programs to choose from. Jake is really excited. He was very mad this morning that we had to go to school. He has said that he hates doing the papaer work at school. He is a smart cookie already. He is in his top reading group at school and is only 4 years old.
I will be a work at home mom this time. I feel this will help me get more done with my business. I will start making clothes along with the diaper cakes and monogramming. I will be one busy momma! At least my house wont look like a wreck!

Pray for Harper

I can't ask/plead with you enough to pray for this little girl. I understand what all Kelly went through when they were trying and the joy that she felt when she found out she was having Harper. Sam and I went through the same thing except for the ending. Jake was born healthy and screaming. Haper was not. She is still in critical condition, but rapidly improving. I have prayed for her countless times last night and today. Please take the time to say a prayer for the whole family. Our God is powerful and a wonderful healer.

Big news

I am so EXCITED! Peri and I will have a booth at Graham Crackers in Wake Village! She is going to have some clothing and socks and burp cloths. I will have clothing and burp cloths that are monogrammed. I am hoping to get my diaper cakes in there in the next couple of months. I am so excited. I am hoping that this is one step to many more childrens boutiques! Come and see us. We should be there by this weekend!

First monogram

I finished a diaper cake for a customer and decided to try out the monogramming on the ribbon. Man, ribbon is tricky but I got it after the 3rd practice run. REMEMBER this is one of the first attempts.

The electricity went out momma

Hello all. We have had a wonderful break! I am getting really sad that the end is almost here. We went out to dinner tonight and had a wonderful time. Jake got an MP3 player for Christmas and has taken it everywhere. I dont let him take it out of the car because we all know what will happen at that point. I doubt I have to share the story of the lost monster truck in wal mart. On the way home he is in the back just humming along then we hear a GASP.

MOMMA THE ELECTRICITY WENT OUT ON MY 3PM PLAYER!

Just thought I would share. Not a deep moving blog, but toddler blog. Now I am off to replace the battery in the 3PM player. I hate to correct the 3PM because it is so funny to watch others figure out what the heck he is talking about!
