Welcome!

I've finally caved & decided to start blogging. I hope I can keep it up-to-date. I'm totally addicted to cross stitching
(I've been told it's an old lady hobby, I guess that means I'm an old lady!) so there will be a lot of cross stitching posts.
There will be pictures of the kids, both 2-legged & 4-legged, Chase, Carter, Baby Hank, Bullseye, Molly, & Baby.
I hope you enjoy reading, I promise to try not to bore you too much. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

A Little "BLING"

Miss Big Truck got some new "bling" last night. This is on both sides of the truck, on the front doors. Our friend, Corey, did the work for us, he did a great job!

Playing with Leah

Today I drove to Ankeny, to visit Jennifer & her daughter Leah. It's about a 2 hour drive from me but totally worth it! Leah is so much fun, she's 2, & can carry on a conversation with you so well, almost too well, sometimes I forget she just turned 2.
We went to the park. Leah played in the fountain, swang, & played on the playground. Then we went to lunch & out for ice cream. After ice cream we went back to the house, Leah swam in the backyard & Jennifer & I sat & got in a good visit. Jennifer & I have been friends for probably almost 20 years, it's always good to visit with her. I can't wait till they come here in a couple of weeks for a visit! :)

Snoopy & Woodstock

While we were on Lake MacBride this afternoon, I stitched up these two cuties. The patterns were in one of the UK Cross Stitcher magazine. My friend, Tom, loves Snoopy, so I stitched these for him & made them into magnets for his fridge.

Boating with Bullseye

We took Bullseye to Lake MacBride this afternoon & left the girls at home.
He had a great time hanging out with Daddy & Mommy!

Crazy Girls

This afternoon I had some yogurt for a snack. Yoplait light, key lime pie, my favorite. I think Molly liked it as much as I did, cause when I was done she licked the container clean!











That is ONE BIG puppy stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hank Says "Cheese"!

I went to visit Hank yesterday afternoon, he's now a week old. He still pretty much just eats, sleeps, & poops. I tried very hard to wake him up to play but he was having nothing to do with waking up till it was time to eat. I was able to get him to smile by tickling his cheek a little bit. He's so darn cute!

Frogtastic Fall

It's hard to believe that it's been a week since I've posted a cross stitch finish. I guess it goes to show how much less time I have
to cross stitch when they boys are home! This one is a SanMan Original & will be switched out with my Toadally Summer piece that is next to my ornament tree.
