Hip Hip Hooray!! The sun came out today!!

and so did we!! It was so nice...as I quote what Kate said this morning in church...it feels like a heat-wave today & I must say it does compared to the past few!! The kids were loving be outside finally..I am sure they were feeling cabin feverish'..so we were out riding bikes and jumping on the trampoine!! Davis is finally to the point of being able to enjoy the trampoline



...he can jump and run & doesn't feel so much like the "hot potato" being bounced around...I am thinking (outloud...if they don't fight constantly) that this spring and summer is going to be a ton of fun, because they will be able to play together!! I am looking forward to warmer days and I made this since I was feelin' a little springy today...

Adventures with 3 & a quick sewing project...

Last night, I baby sat cousin Will for the 1st time...of course, he was just precious & I loved getting my baby fix and sending him home for the night time feedings. ;) I have always thought I was a multi-tasker, but with 3 it put multi-tasking to the challege..bedtime...lay baby Will in the middle of Davis' big boy bed (in 3 yrs-ha!), pick Davis up, cuddle him & say our prayers & put him in his crib...I think he thought he was having his 1st sleepover, b/c as soon as I picked up Will, Davis cried & cried!! (he quickly got over it & went so asleep) Off to Kenzie's room...much easier, since she can climb up in her bed..turn her music on (argue a second about the cd that was playing), say prayers, one last tuck-in, & off to sleep she goes...Will & I head into the living room for some ET and AI and he is off to sleep...so wasn't too bad for the 1st time with 3!! (luckily they were all asleep-ha!)
After Will left...off to sewing I went.. & I made this for Davis

Have a great Thursday!!

On Fridays...

I get to snuggle with this guy all day long & I love every minute of it!


for all of you wondering...yes, I did make Davis' outfit!

Happy Wednesday!!

I think I have found my winter passion...although, I LOVE to be outdoors, right now to me, it is way too cold, I am so glad that I have learned how to do some sewing projects, b/c I do believe this will keep me busy this winter!! I whipped this up last night for Kenzie to wear to school today..it might be my favorite, but for sure the messiest I have done thus far. I love minky dot..I wish I could get away with wearing these myself, but it was so messy cutting out..sheddings went everywhere! But after seeing the finished product...who cares...it is just adorable & the little girl wearing it is even more adorable!

Martha gone WILD!!!!

Here are some more of my crafty creations...I know that yall will probably be so ready for me to get off my sewing high..but right, now I am just so proud of myself, I must show it off!! Some of you just don't understand how long it has taken me to get to this point..you are talking about the girl that doesn't know how to sew a button on..Mrs. Raybon (my family living teacher) would be so disappointed in me knowing that I forgot that little lesson, I have tried to get my mom to teach me (which consists of her being very impatient & her being very humored by my sewing skills...usually she would just take it from me and stitch it up in seconds vs. my hours) & I also took a jon-jon class at the sewing center here in town..I made my jon-jon in class & it was super cute, but at that moment in my life, I just really did not have time to sit and sew, I am just now circling back around and have the evenings to sit and sew (since my kids go to bed at 6:30, I have that time at night). A BIG thanks to my friend Melinda who has spent some time with me teaching me some basics.



Those of you wondering why I have the nickname "Martha"..my dear friend Amanda nicknamed me this a long time ago..so I have dedicated my sewing posts to that sweet nickname!

Just call me Martha...

I am SEWING...yep, I know it is a shocker!!! God made me super crafty in lots of areas, but this whole sewing thing, might not be the area, but I am really, really trying!! So, here are my attempts at sewing Mackenzie some pants!!! I think they turned out really cute and I am super excited to see her wear them! :)
