HALEY BREANNE

Today is my nieces 11th birthday!!! 11!!!! REALLY? I cant believe it. Josh and I always remember the first day we met her and got to hold her. I was the happiest aunt in the world! (i actually have a picture of it but not on the computer)

Haley is a HUGE soccer fan and a GREAT soccer player!! Im pretty sure she is the best in her age group! She loves the Chelsea soccer team and has her room decorated in everything Chelsea blue! She has even named her dog Chelsea! :)

She wants to be a professional soccer player when she gets older and there is no doubt in my mind that she will accomplish it! She really is amazing at it!! I wish i was able to see her play more often. She even practices her autograph!!

She is growing up way to fast and i can only hope to be close to all of them someday!!

I love you Haley and i hope you have the best birthday you've ever had!!

i wish this was bigger but i dont know how to do it.

HALLOWEEN????

FUN

I found this new collage center on Picasa. Well its not new i just never played around with it before.

Having way to much fun with it!! :)

WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO

I have been getting in touch with my crafty side lately! :)

It all started with this

What is it you ask?? Well my neighbor, Becky, asked me if i could sew her son a nap mat. He started preschool and needed one. She didnt like anything she found on line and wanted a pattern that Luke would like. So she found a very easy pattern on line and asked if i could do it. I HAVE NEVER sewn anything like this before. I am used to sewing little blankets and stuff that doesnt need a pattern. Well anyway..I DID IT!!! I was so proud!! :) It turned out so cute!

This is what it looks like when you roll it up..it even has a strap to throw around your shoulder.

Then i thought maybe i could make an outfit for Reese. So i bought a pattern that was labeled "easy." Mind you i havent sewn an outfit since i was in 7th grade. It took me a while and had to throw away the first outfit, but i didnt give up and i tried again and this is what i ended up with...
