Lovely Little Flowers' Catch-Up Time!!

As stated in previous blogs, I am NOT a good blogger!! I just realized I hadn't put anything concerning "Lovely Little Flowers" items so here is an overview of what I've been doing. If there is anything you see that you want me to make your little one, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible because I'm getting to the point in my pregnancy that sitting at the sewing machine is becoming unbearable! ;-)

I've come up with something for the boys.

Here is a couple of onesies I did for Jerry's friend.

A camo cross and tie (for the redneck in your little business man!)

Here is an example of a shirt I made for Kamryn for Valentine's Day and one I donated for an auction for a little boy in Glenwood that was diagnosed with cancer.

This one was also donated to the auction. The two heart shirts were put together with a Hannah Montana blanket and raised $40.00 I believe, which made me happy that I could do something to help! I HATE cancer - it's everywhere! It SUCKS!!
The whole auction raised a little over $4,000!!


My friend's mom asked me to do these two shirts for her grandgirls Ava and Ryne! I LOVE how they came out!! If you would like an appliqued shirt like this it'll be $15.00 (no shipping and handling)

This shirt was done for the same friend's kiddo Miss Ryne. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shirt!! (Also, $15.00)

This is a close-up of a headband I did for a little girl in our church Miss Kenedee. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this headband! I need to make one for another little girl in Oklahoma and I can't forget Miss Mary Beth before she's born!!!
(This headband is $5.00)

The dress I made to go with the above headband or vice-versa - which ever comes first right...the chicken or the egg?! ;-) I LOVE the zebra print peasant style pillowcase dress.
(This dress is $15.00)

This is a dress I did for our Fall Festival back in October that I still haven't sold. I guess if it comes down to it I can always let Mary Beth wear it!!

As you can see I've been busy! Let me know if I can help you out!!! Thanks in advance!!

I am OFFICIALLY a bad blogger!!

I realize I'm horrible at blogging. For heavens sake I STILL haven't posted anything from Kamryn's THIRD birthday which was in May!! Goodness!! Here are a FEW pictures from Christmastime I thought I'd share...

Jerry was in China for the first part of December and that was REALLY weird not having him here! He had to go over to their China factory to put a piece of equipment back together. He had an "uneventful" time while over there.

He was able to see the "Forbidden City" where one of his tooth's crown fell off. Thankfully he wasn't in any pain!!

He had some really interesting foods. The pictures are all on his computer so I can't share them but you can go ahead and thank me for that because you would surely throw up if you did see them!!

He and his group went to see "The Great Wall of China". He said it was AMAZING!! Overall he had a great trip and Kamryn and I had some good "girl time" but missed him terribly!!!

We were able to keep ourselves busy with several things: A "Tacky Christmas Sweater" Party, the Sparkman Elementary Christmas Play, an all day shopping trip with a church friend, Cecilia to shop for our "Holiday Cheer" project for the kids of our community, a wedding and several pajama parties together!!

Here are some pictures of Kamryn:

Kamryn and I at the "Tacky Christmas Sweater" Party

This year's Christmas seemed to be really special for Kamryn she was thankful for everything and seemed to really enjoy herself!! We were thankful for being able to give her the "last Christmas with just the three of us"...I guess it didn't dawn on us until halfway through the month that next year will be completely different and oh so much sweeter with Mary Beth here! But we were also worried that Kamryn needed one last "hoorah" before she was no longer an only child....not sure if that was right or not but it was right for our family!! :-)

Here is Kamryn laying out cookies for Santa:

Christmas morning coming in to see what Santa brought her!!

Santa left her a note...

She was impressed!!

And now after uploading and rearranging all of these pictures I know why I don't blog all of the time!!!

Help Angie Help Haiti!!

Hey everyone!!! (Quick post...no time for anything else....ugh!!!)

Please take a look at Angie Smith's blog "Bring the Rain" (click here) to help her raise money to send to Haiti.

For every comment left Angie will donate 25 cents to Haiti!!!! SO, go! Leave a comment!!!

A GREAT surprise!!!

I almost forgot!!! A little under a month ago we received the BEST news - we are going to be an aunt and uncle again!!! Yep, Nathan and Julie are having their fourth blessing from the Lord!!
And to top it off Julie is almost exactly a month behind me!! I'm due April 27th and she is due May 25th!!! Another neat little coincidence - our due date is our 8th anniversary and Nate and Julie's is our best friends Jeremy and Jill's 8th anniversary! I think that's neat! I guess an easy way to remember the due dates as if we could forget!!!

A Fall Photo Session and a Little Butterfly Fairy Princess...

Last week was a rainy, rainy, rainy week!! But graciously God spared me the rain on my birthday Wednesday!!! After Kamryn and I went to eat lunch with my Mom we had a little photo session!!! Here are some of my favorites!!

She's such a cheeseball!!! ;-)



I wonder what she's thinking about...? :-) I just LOVE her brown eyes!!!


My pretty princess!!






Saturday was Halloween and Kamryn wanted to be a Butterfly Fairy Princess....?

Trick or Treating in the country involves getting in the car and riding around!!! I was so TIRED afterwards!!! Oh, how I wish we could have just walked around a neighborhood!!

Oh, to be so carefree and unbiased to the nastiness of this world!!!!

The sad looking antenna I made...they were a little lopsided!! ;-) I bought the wings but made the tutu...I love how it came out and so did Kamryn which is all that matters!! I love that she's turning out to be a 'one-of-a-kind' kind of girl!! Not one to follow the crowd which is what I love about her!! She is an individual that loves her individuality!!! Just a minute of talking to her you'll see she's easy to love and has the most unique personality, she's a friend's friend with a great sense of humor!!

You Ate That Whole Block of Cheese!

What's with the title you say? A funny little antidote from tonight...

Let me prefaced this by saying we are big fans of Will Ferrell, he's funny. He has a weird sense of humor quite like ours...we're weird! One of our favorites is Anchorman. If you to are a fan then you know the scene where he comes home and his dog is talking to him, by of course, barking at him. Will Ferrell's character answers him by repeating what the dog says. An example? Okay.

Dog barking
WF's Character's response: Baxter! You know I don't speak Spanish!
Dog barking
WF's Character's response: What you ate the whole block of cheese?!
Dog barking
WF's Character's response: No, I'm not mad. I'm quite proud!

Okay, I know that's not too terribly funny reading it, but believe me, it's HILARIOUS!

So, Jerry does this with our dog, Janie when she barks at us. We know what she wants, she wants to go outside to do what she can't do inside...I won't tell you, you should know what I'm talking about!

Now, Kamryn hears this and tonight as Janie does, when I get finished eating (notice I didn't say when Jerry gets finished - she's SUPPOSED to be HIS dog, but SHE does NOT KNOW this!!!) looks straight at me when it would be just as easier to look at Jerry, starts barking at ME. Well, I am not listening to her and Kam out of no where says, "What?! You ate the whole block of cheese?!"!!!!!!! And precedes to crack herself and Jerry and I up!!! MAN, it was funny!!!

Baby On The Way!!!!

Quick little note to you all....I found out Monday that I am going to be having a baby April 27th, 2010 and an added bonus, that's our 8th wedding anniversary!!!! Is that the coolest or what!!!
Some prayer request for you all to go to the Father with: As you all know I am a diabetic and I have concerns with that and the pregnancy. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on Monday at 8:15 so remember me as I travel to Little Rock. She told me in February that I was healthy enough to get pregnant but by the time my May's Hemoglobin A1C test was mailed to me in June it showed it was a little elevated and didn't suggest me getting pregnant...I've been working on it since then so I hope I'm okay! Please be praying for that!! I didn't want to get back on birth control pills after I had been off it for a month because of the problems we had getting pregnant with Kamryn (it took us 2 years!! I wasn't ovulating for some reason...)
She has already switched me to another type of 24 hour insulin because the one I was taking is not FDA approved for pregnancy! Yikes! I will start that tonight so, if you can pray for me and my little growing baby I would REALLY appreciate it!
Oh, I forgot, I took that insulin when I was pregnant with Kamryn and she came out just fine so I haven't hurt this baby! I was going to another endocrinologist at the time and I guess he either didn't know or didn't care. My opinion is he didn't care to know - I REALLY didn't like him! ;-)
Well, that's about it for now!! We are REALLY excited!!!
