Happy Birthday Marin!!!

My adorable sister in law is turning a year older today. I wish I was in Philly to celebrate with you guys. Happy Bday!

Sew like the wind!

Well I have been talking about all the sewing I want to do and I think I'm off to a pretty good start.


Well I have been talking about all the sewing I want to do and I think I'm off to a pretty good start.






So far I've made 2 boppy covers and 6 bibs.



The bibs come in 3 styles and are super soft.




Plus the stitch turned out super cute.



























The First boppy cover is a blue and caramel with a soft kind of faux-suede (I'm not sure exactly) fabric. It's super soft and comfy



























The second boppy cover has fun furry teal side and then a soft peach side ( I know kind of girly but they went together so well I couldn't resist)



So yea, more than you ever wanted to know about my past-time, but I proud of myself and wanted to share.






PLEASE SHARE YOUR FUN BABY CRAFT IDEAS because I'm not going to have tuns to do when I'm fat and tired all the time so I want to sew lots of stuff I just don't know how, so feel free to help me out with some ideas, or better yet, come do them with me!!!

Just for fun

Here's a picture of me getting the ultrasound last week. Not a flattering angle but oh well, at least you can see what it looked like.

It's a boy!!!

So yea, getting an ultrasound is definitely one of the most amazing things I've ever done in my life. It was incredible. I finally believe there is really a baby in there!

The 3D ones are pretty cool, unfortunately he spent most of the time with his face smashed against the placenta so we didn't really get a full face shot.

This will be my mom's 3rd grandson (no granddaughters) and Ivan's Grandpa's second great grandson (no nena's for nono yet) This will be both of Ivan's parents FIRST biological grandchild!!!

Ivan is very happy, he was hoping for a boy.

The cutes part of the ultrasound was at one point he actually crossed his legs and put his arm behind his head, hah! Just to show us that he was kicking back and chilling out in there. He's laid back like his dad already (;

It was so fun to watch him flip around and wiggle and move in there.

If I can figure out how to convert the dvd into a file, I'll edit it down a little (it's 30 mins) and post it. In the mean time, here are some pics.

Kaila's 4!!

We had fun celebrating her birthday Saturday.
Happy birthday little sis!











Since Kaila wouldn't blow out her candles (too much pressure I guess, heh) Jaxon got in some practice for his next birthday.

Easter

We had a lovely easter dinner hosted by Randy and Chelsea.

It was a good time and good company and I got some pics of the family together.

We played Pe-Ke-No which is basically bingo, it was fun. When alex finally got 5 in a row he called out "pinoccio!"

hair

I was sick of having boring hair so went a little blonde and got it shagged up. It's kind of a funny story, I've been getting my hair cut at Dallas Roberts academy since Marin (who is still the best stylist in the whole world and it's hard to survive without her!) went to school there. I keep going back in spite of the fact that occasionally it gets pretty scary, because I want to support the students, but mostly because it's CHEAP!

Well I suspected I was in trouble the minute my stylest walked up with a scarf pinned on her head covering her hair (if they your stylist doesn't do her own hair you know your in trouble) She was cute and awkward and giggly and kept saying "oh I'm probably the worst at that" whenever I would suggest something.

Fortunately the coloring is supervised and probably not to easy to mess up, but next was the cut.
Well to be honest I started to pray to God "Please let this not be a disaser. I don't mean to be vain but walking around with a bad haircut is very unpleasant, I would know, I've been coming here for a while now."

Well, my prayers were answered when the stylist had her supervisor come check her progress after a few minutes and the supervisor ended up doing the entire cut. The whole time the stylist kept saying "wow, that's awsome, I'll have to practice that on my dummy" Thank you God for the supervisor, sincerely.

And the good news is, I ran into a student I know and can noe request her for subsequent visits. Yay for cheap haircuts that don't suck!!!!!

Pivotal moment

I must be getting pregnanter! Today was officially the first time someone commented on my pregnancy from observation, in other words I never told him I was pregnant. I must be getting past the looking-fat stage and moving into the looking-pregnant stage, yay!

To commemorate the event, here's a cheesy video I made with my web cam in Ivan's dad's office to show off the belly.
*I'm having upload problems so I'll have to add it later ):

blanket

This is a blanket I made for my friend's baby. It's the first one I've made so far, I'm pretty proud of myself even though the lettering looks like it written by a 5-year-old. Oh well, it's part of the hand made charm right?
