My brother Jeff and his family are trying to raise enough money to buy their son a new wheel chair. The insurance will cover around $30,000 for the chair, but they will have to come up with another $10,000. If you have any desire to help, I know that they would be grateful.

Another Day in the Pool

We decided to indulge Abby's wild side and put the trampoline next to the pool so she could jump in. After doing several jumps, she jumped and belly flopped into the pool. I told her not to do that anymore, she could get hurt. On her last jump, of course, belly flop again. When she stood up she said "mom, that did kind of hurt just a little bit" lol Luckily I got a pretty cool picture on that last jump.

This girl is absolutely fearless when it comes to water.

summer fun

We filled up our little pool the other day, and let the girls get in yesterday. They both had a lot of fun. It was extremely amusing for us though, when it was time for them to get out, and saw Daphne. Justin mistakenly grabbed a pull up, instead of a swim diaper. Amazing how much those things can absorb!

LOL...it still makes me laugh!!

having fun!

I made these for the girls this last week. I saw the idea for the skirt online, and thought "I could do that!!" They weren't too hard to do, but a bit time consuming...I spent over 2 hours doing the pleating for the ruffles. I got the red shirts at the dollar store, and found a free watermelon embroidery design. My mom helped me cut down the shirt for daphne, since they only had size 6 in that red shirt. We also added elastic on the bottom and a little ribbon. They turned out pretty cute. It still makes me laugh though, before Daphne was born, I probably wouldn't have put Abby in something like this. But I'm starting to like girly/frilly things on them. lol I love creating things and having them turn out! The feeling of success is great! Then seeing the girls excitement for getting something new, is even greater! :-)

joys of motherhood

The other night I started the bathtub for the girls. The phone rang right after I started the water, so I shut the door behind me, so that the girls wouldn't be playing in the water while I was on the phone. I turn around to see the bathroom door open and Abby going potty, and surprised to see Daphne. She was so thrilled to be in the tub and got so upset when I made her get out to remove the wet clothing.

mario quilt

I did this quilt for my nephew for his 6th birthday. It didn't turn out very big, but it did look really cute. And his reaction when he looked at it was priceless! It took a while to get all the squares done, and I did end up enlisting the help of a friend with a couple of them. I am glad that he enjoyed it!

BUSY BUSY BUSY!

We had the Davis Family reunion this last weekend. It was a lot of fun to see the family again. I was busy up until the day we left, trying to get stuff together for it. It was loads of fun!!

Today we had a little nightgown making day at the church. We had a few people show up. I wasn' table to get Abby's done at the church, so I had to do it tonight. (since she was disappointed I hadn't gotten it done at the church) I am glad to be able to sit back and relax for a little bit.
