I hope you think of me

You know that song by Taylor Swift? It's not titled I hope you think of me, but it has that line in it. The title is Tim McGraw....and I'm going to see him in concert on June 11th!!!!! I'm super excited he is coming to Wichita. A friend and I have floor seats to go see him because we both LOVE his music. I have loved him since high school, and now I get to see him a few short months. So, I hope you're thinking of me on June 11th while I enjoy this amazing concert!

two twos

I made two more tutus this week. I know lame...I made some for my first AC project this year, and this is only number 7. But I had to make a couple for some sweet little girls...one that is going to be born in the next few months, and one that will be turning one next month. I wanted to get them made, and sent before the time passed and I was late...as I always am with sending gifts and cards. I'm on top of it this time. I just have to get them in the mail.
We are still having problems loading our photos. So still nothing to actually show for my work, but I did do it-PROMISE! AC#7...two more tutus. Oh, and once we get our computer figured out I'll load all the missing photos. Let you know when it happens.

Black toe, Nails to go

So last week Carson decided to play with the 10 pound weight I had just received for my birthday, and accidentally dropped it...on his toe/foot. His toe was bleeding, and he was in some pain. To help him "feel" better Ryan wrapped it all up in an ace bandage. It was kinda funny to see. He is doing fine now, but the toe is purple/blue/black and I'm sure the nail will fall off at some point. Speaking of nails falling off...Half of Carson's fingernails are looking like they are going to fall off...and for no apparent reason that I can think of. He hasn't smashed them anywhere or injured his hands in anyway, but you can definitely see some new nails growing, and the old nail separating and showing signs that it will soon disconnect. Anyone know why this might be happening? Is there a vitamin or something that he could be missing? Anyone have experience with this?

Since I do not have the ability to upload photos right now I'll just have to tell you what I did for my project this week. I made Carson a little tote bag for his Book of Mormon. He had a bag he used to take to church, but it got ripped up. I took the little guy to JoAnn's with my this week and let him pick out his own fabric. I tried to convince him to get some cool patterned stuff, but he chose plain blue and plain green cotton flannel stuff. I'm not quite sure what material it really is...it was a remnant piece that just said cotton. Anyway, it is a simple bag, but I enjoyed making it up as I went along. I definitely made it harder than it should have been, but I'll know better for the next time I make a bag! This is my AC#6.
(Here is what happens when I upload photos...on ANY site. They either won't load period, or come out discolored and off. Does anyone know why???)

Dinner Time

I just had the best time with Halli. She and I are home alone right now. The house it neat and clean, the last load of laundry is in the dryer, and it is quiet. So I thought we would make dinner together. It was so much fun! She was so adorable. We made pizza, and she was so excited to help through the whole thing-pouring, stirring, tasting, and adding food color to the dough. When we make pancakes we like to color them with some food color-makes it really exciting! Well I guess she thought we were making pancakes cause we started mixing it and she said "blue" and reached up for the food coloring...so I thought sure, why not. This will be the first time I've had a blue pizza, but I'm sure Carson will be so excited for it!
After we finished making the pizza Halli wanted to watch Blues Clues so I said ok and asked her if she wanted to bring her water to which she replied "sure"...she is so cute. I love her soft little voice.
It is nice having some mother-daughter time alone. We'll have to do it more often!

OK apparently we are having issues with loading our photos again...so until we wipe our hard drive again we are going to be photo-less. I don't know how that is going to work with my projects going on. I guess you will just have to imagine how they look.
