Projects

When my Mom came out for a few days we went to a few fabric stores and created projects for ourselves. I surely have mixed feelings about this. One I have quite a few projects yet to finish, but Two: I love it!

My Mom came with material to make a tutu for Caroline. She saw one and decided to copy it. We went to Wal*Mart and bought stick on jewels for some Bling. Caroline doesn't like it on. Hopefully one day.

I had my cute friend come over the other day with her two year old and together we worked on projects. Mine were simple and she decided to rip her entire car seat cover apart to recover it. And it is adorable. She is amazing. Anyway it was awesome to be motivated and get a few things done.

It turned out better than I imagined it.

Somehow I started a little business. I just sell them to people I know, but I sell nursing blankets. It was first a hobby and I decided to give them to friends as gifts, and now I've sold a few!
Just sold my Fourth Nursing Blanket!
The lady wanted something pink and brown and girly for her daughter-in-law who was having her 1st girl after two boys. I made the one above and below for her to choose.

We'll see which one she chooses!

Stickers

Ever since our last road trip we try and keep stickers in the car. Caroline loves them. It is a way to make a long trip feel shorter. When Grandmama was with us the other week, she decided to give the whole sheet to Caroline. (I give her one sticker at a time) As a result.. the following pictures had to be taken.

I don't know what it is with putting them on her right cheek, but she does.

Graduation

Well, Aaron did it! (Okay, I like to add that we did it... sort of.) Aaron graduated from Denver University Law School. He finished his exams, had a couple days break; in which we worked in the yard. Then family came into town. He graduated on Saturday May 16 and then started the BAR classes that next Monday! His classes run 6 or 7 days a week for the next 2 1/2 months. The exam is at the end of July. It looks like I will be skipping town for the next few months. :)

Our cute family

Sweet Caroline- showing her face

Afterwards we had a yummy lunch. Played lots of fun games and had a great time. We also saw the movie Angels and Demons. I liked it (didn't read the book), but Aaron didn't (he read the book). Most of the fam left on Sunday, but I was lucky and my mom stayed until Wednesday. We created quite the rucus... that is for another post.

I am very proud of Aaron. He has created worlds of opportunity for our little family. I love you!

18 Month Pictures

I took Caroline in to take her 18 month pictures. I found a photographer that I really like.
This is SO Caroline. She gets a little bashful in front of people and puts her finger in her mouth.
We finally got her off my lap by using this rocking horse that they had. It was not my plan to have a rocking horse in her 18 month pictures. But you just do what you got to do sometimes, you know what I mean?

This cute candid picture I love. She is 'reading' an animal book. She is also sitting on my lap.
