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!

Finally...... I got a piece stitched

I feel like I didn't get a lot of stitching in this week. But today I finally got a piece finished.

Lizzie Kate- Welcome Fall- from Autumn things

Fluff & Stuff

And then of course once we take the eyes off the frog, it's time to play with the "fluff" inside the frog.

SOOOOOOOOOO.... Molly ripped his guts out.

And then Bullseye & Baby proceeded to eat the fluff.

Doesn't she loook proud of herself?!






Frog Vs Dog

So at the fair on Thursday, Chase & I played the dart game to win a toy for the dogs. It lasted all of a couple of hours.

First- Molly worked on taking the eyeballs off of the frog. None of our stuffed animals have eyes, she takes them off, guess she doesn't want them staring at her while she's playing with them.

Baby helped a little.

Here is the frog with one eye.

And a little while later- with NO eyes.

Mississippi Valley Fair

My Aunt & I were brave yesterday & we took the kids to the fair for the afternoon. After about 4 hours at the fair, we were beat, I think the kids could have gone a little longer, but not us, we were pooped!!! It was hot but not terrible hot. Overall it was a good afternoon, everybody had fun, & I know I slept like a baby last night.

The kids enjoyed the bumper cars.

Katie talked Carter into going on this ride with him.

They walked through the beach house.

And Chase parted with $6 of his precious money so he could bungee jump. He kept trying to flip over but couldn't get himself going enough.

Now that's a pig!

We took the kids to the Mississippi Valley Fair yesterday. After lunch we walked around in the barns, looking at all the animals. We saw horses & cows.... the usual farm animals that are shown. Then we came to Big Fanny! Holy pig!


HEY! WATCH OUT FOR THAT HAY...

bail twine!!!!

Chase was running after a kitty at his Grandma's farm & ran right into some hay bail twine. It hasn't turned black & blue, so that's a good thing, but it sure did leave a nice scratch!

A 4-Legged Verision of.....

PRINCESS AND THE PEA!
I sat my pillows out the other night to get ready to make my bed. Molly must not have been able to wait, she jumped right on top of the pillows & started to drift off to sleep. I always knew she was a princess!!!!


Baby had to take her turn too. Turns out she is a princess as well, which we already knew that!
