Daddy did it again!

So Ryan decided to take Emily to the auto parts store the other night to give me a break. He called me and said he was going to stop by Target and pick up some things that I needed. When they came home Emily had a Princess fishing pole!!!! So now she has to have the fishing pole with her 24/7! She likes to press the "purple bunt" and reel in the princess crown that's attached to the end of the line. Anytime we have tried to take it away from her she has a complete meltdown!!! I really hope she gets bored with it soon because I can't stand the stinkin fishing pole anymore!!!!

Pillowcase Dress


I tried to make a pillowcase dress last night and I think it turned out okay. It's definitely not perfect. I didn't have a pattern but my wonderful sister helped me figure some stuff out. I don't know why but I have this urge to sew all of a sudden. Maybe it's because I just bought myself a new machine or maybe I'm starting my nesting process before Charlotte's arrival. I made the dress for her and I hope it fits. When I was picking out the fabric I realized that I had already made a pacifier clip and burp cloth with the same patterned ribbon. So she'll be styling at church!

32 Weeks


So I am officially 32 weeks pregnant now! I am so glad I only have two months left. Being pregnant and having a two year old is definitely a lot harder than it was the first time. Our new ward has a ton of children and new babies in it. In Relief Society I sat beside two sisters one with a three month old and another with a newborn. They were so tiny! After seeing those two cute little girls I am definitely scared to have another teeny tiny baby in the house! Oh well there's no turning back now!!!

My new project



This one was made with a snap and a felt flower I made that is hot glued to a name tag badge clip.

This one was made with a snap to attach the ribbon to the pacifier and an eyelet to attach the clip to the ribbon.



I decided Monday that I needed a project. So I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and got everything to make these super cute pacifier clips. I figured since I know so many people that are pregnant or have new babies it'd be a nice thing to know how to make for gifts. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. And read the tutorials before you go to the store. I ended up buying all of the wrong stuff yesterday so I had to go back this morning and get more supplies. I made these two as soon as I got home from the store. I think they turned out pretty good.

When Ems and Daddy go to Walmart together.


Emily with her train set and Handy Manny toolbox.

So I am really not feeling the greatest today and my wonderful hubby decided to take Ems to Wal Mart and get me some popsicles and orange juice. When they came home Ems had a couple of things to show me. She is a very girly girl but has a love for all things that go. The other night we were in the garage and she noticed our train set for Christmas. She got very upset because we wouldn't let her have the train so her wonderful Daddy decided to buy her her own train set. And true to Emily fashion she couldn't leave the store with just one toy. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Looking Good!!!

She only sat up in one picture!! As soon as I sat her down she wanted to start crawling!!!
