couple more

Brady most often falls asleep in the hallway, weird I know, but whatever! Ok here is a question for ya, this is the first quilt I ever made and Brady's favorite. It has seen better days obviously, but I just can't throw it away, but what can I do with it? Any ideas.
This is what happens when you try to warm up a little too close to the fire!
Kids making funny faces, I love Emree's so funny!

The question is what do you want to do with it? If you want to get rid of it and are trying to figure out how to do it gently for his sake, then I have ideas for that, but if you don't want to get rid of it b/c of sentimental value but feel like you should b/c it's trashed, that's a different story...

Hey Teija! We "traded" our loved blankets to the elves for new ones last Christmas. It went over really well and I have the much loved blankets saved in a cedar chest somewhere until the boys get married. Then their wives can have the old rags!

the only thing I can think of is to iron on a patch or sew one on.

I love all the pics. Sundays are the best to take pictures - I agree. I am amazed at how big Emree is! When did she become a little girl and not a baby? Congratulations on your baby boy news. Lucky ducks! I hope you're feeling well.

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
