Morning

This is what was on my cutting board this morning.

Mack, the truck, and his friends in the back.

I love being a mom to boys.

(Please note that the sun isn't even all the way up yet. Bee has taken to waking up at 7:early AM. YUCK!!)

Auntie Kassie

Auntie Kassie came to visit in the beginning of September!! It was fun having her here. I believe this was driving home from the White Sands in Nicci's car.

Nicci's quilt

So Nicci is living with us. One day we noticed that her quilt was starting to come apart in some parts. This was my first quilt I ever made without my mom.

So I stippled all over it to make it strong and hopefully stay together better.

Bee wanted his picture taken

Bee's kisses

Bee has been a pill lately. I guess it comes with the age. Ugh.

BUT....

He is still a sweetheart. At least once a day, Bee will say, "Mommy hug."
And comes running to give me a hug.

There are times when he screams Mommy hug!!!!!! because he knows he is going to get into trouble. He thinks a hug will make it better. (It only works sometimes!)

Every day for nap, I put him to bed. I read him a book and then give him a hug. Then he kisses my cheek.

It's seriously so cute!!!

It's worth all the fighting we do during the day and the jelly slobbered cheek for that little kiss. Bee is still so stinking cute.

Daddy and boys

We went and got fish this weekend. I love the boy bonding time. Bee can help with almost everything with the fish so it's fun to watch the boys.

Aimee's quilt

This quilt is for my best friend in Marysville, Aimee. Her favorite colors are blue and yellow. I appliqued the sunflower on. The back is a bright blue. It's not perfect. (The back has a few folds) But I think it turned out pretty cute!

I've been wanting to make Aimee a quilt for a long time but just never had the funds or time. But I finally made it. It's not quite a queen size but it's a good size for a couch.

Aimee is a wonderful friend. She and I have been friends since 7th grade. I could always tell her anything. And still can. I don't ever have to be worried if she will judge me or not. She will love me no matter what. We had our first boys in the same year. I was in her wedding. I just love her with all my heart.

August Updates

Chris went hunting Sept 1 for his elk. He came home Sept 2 with kidney stones. Not a good start to hunting season!!!

Bee is still potty training and doing great!!! He does better without underwear on so this is Chris coming home for lunch and the boys eating together. SOOO stinking cute!

Glo bug helping with quilt blocks!

Quilt for V and Olivia (her doll)

Louie went to a new family this week. He was being ornery and honestly, we never saw him. He would hide upstairs until Bee went to bed and then only came out with the dogs were outside. So he now lives with a little girl in El Paso.

This is the top of the siggy quilt. When it's finished I'll blog more about it.

Glo bug helping with quilting again... he helps a lot.

I recovered my ironing board!! I love it!!!!

Blocks for Natalie....one of my bees

Bee called in the military for reinforcement of his new train tracks! I bought a huge bag at the thrift store on base for 10 bucks....they had no idea what they had.

I bought myself a sewing chair!!!! I love it. It's hot pink!

Another bee block!!
