A SWEET DEAL!!

Holidays are coming and I've been trying to figure out what to do for holiday cards. Since we have been married (8 years) I talk about sending out Christmas cards but never find the right one. I have been even known to just send out an email but I really don't like to do that. This year I found out about this great promotion that Shutterfly is doing and can't pass it up. So I thought since we have a new addition that so many of our friends and family haven't met, it would be great to introduce them to him.

If you have ever checked out SHUTTERFLY'S website you can get lost in the many options of Christmas cards.

(Can you guess which one I want?)

They had tons of different cards, it's so much fun to input your pictures and see which card fits you.

Besides photo cards, I love the option of personalized Thank You Cards.

Wouldn't it be so cute to give one of these. And they have so many possibilities it would be hard to choose which one.

Last thing I love about this website is all the different things you can create such as picture canvas, you take any picture you love, lets say a beloved wedding photo and get it printed on a canvas to hang on your wall. How cool is that? And who wouldn't love a personal work of art?

Now the best part about this company is Bloggers get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly http://bit.ly/sfly2010 so cool!!!!

Halloween 2010

I was finally able to upload these. I spent all week making these. It was rewarding to get them done but I don't think I will attempt to do costumes again without a pattern. But then again you never know what next year will bring. HA!! I'm just sad that I didn't get a photo of all three together.

Marie-Eve aka Katara waterbending

Stephane aka Aang airbending

Jean-Louis aka Momo

This is how the ears were suppose to be. HA!!

Halloween 2010

I have been trying to upload Halloween pictures the last couple of days but keep getting a error message. I will keep trying. :)

23Oct2010

I'm busy this weekend making costumes (first time ever so I hope they turn out, plus no patterns double EEK!!) so they are all ready for next week. First off I made this cute outfit for Marie-Eve to go to school in since they don't do costumes. I found it at my friends wonderful craft blog. Click here to check it out.

Pillowcase ghost dress

Marie-Eve is gonna be Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender
(the cartoon not the awful movie)

Stephane is Aang

And Jean-Louis as Momo

Here's to hoping that they turn out. I've taken apart an old monkey costume that I had to make Jean-Louis's but the others I'm just winging. So say a little prayer for me as I'm undertaking the craziness tomorrow. LOL

Marie-Eve is 6!!

Again I'm a bit late getting this posted but I guess better late than never.
I can't believe I have a 6 year old!! She is getting so big and loves being a big sister. She is a big push over for her brothers and is a great help to me. She enjoyed every minute of her birthday from being able to take cupcakes to school to her family birthday party. She insisted the decoration of her cake be a surprise. At the end of the day she exclaimed, "A perfect day for the birthday girl!" She is growing up too fast. :)

I know I'm a couple of weeks late on this but...

Jean-Louis is six months now and hitting mile stones left and right. He's a whopping 20lbs 3oz and 27.2 inches. He is sitting on his own (loves it) and we started him on baby food. He loves everything that we give him and devours it. He can't get enough. Soon enough he will be crawling and into even more stuff. He is already getting around by doing a bit of rolling and I can't figure out what else he does but he seems to move well enough. He's just getting so big and we love him so.Eating his carrots.

Eating his toes is one of his favorite things. :)

He loves his exersaucer.

2Aug2010

I'm entered into a giveaway for some fabric and a pattern. I could always go for a new project. :) If you want to enter just go here. It's my friend Mandy's craft blog and I love looking at all her wonderful projects that she does. So here is to hoping I win.

13July2010

I can't believe he's already 5 months old. Sometimes it seems like I just had him and it feels like he's been with us forever. I love him so much!!

8July2010

We didn't do anything for the 4th because it was cold and yuck outside. It finally warmed up these last couple of days and did it ever warm up. We were out and about and we decided to go to a park. I decided we should check out the new on here on post and so glad we did. Not only is there a new playground but a splash park also. The kids didn't have bathing suits but it didn't stop them from having fun. I was surprised at how well the pictures came out since I only had my phone. We are definately going back.

10June2010

Marie-Eve went to preschool this year. She missed the cut for kindergarten by 15 days. She had a blast and asks when school is going to start everyday.

4June2010

Lee is HOME!!! Lee came home late night/early morning so a wonderful friend crashed at my house so the kids could sleep. It was torture waiting for him since they had a live feed showing the plane land, them get off and them checking their weapons and such. So after a long deployment he is finally home.

The live broadcast on the gym wall.
Who is that handsome guy?

He's in there somewhere.

We are so happy that he is finally home! The kids and I have missed him dearly.

15May2010

We went down to the Armed Forces Day celebration that they had on post. The kids had so much fun climbing on all the Army "equipment".

30 May 2010

So it has been a while since I've posted but I've been busy. I've done a couple more sewing projects. I got these cute things from Oh So Sassy and I think I'm gonna do more of there projects because they are super easy and oh so cute. Plus, we've been getting ready for Lee (aka Daddy) to come home. He's arriving sometime this week. WHOOO HOOOO!!!!! We are out of minds excited. I will post more later but for right now that is what we've been up to. We are hoping that the rain will stop soon so we can start doing things.

I just love this apron. It even has pockets.

1 May 2010

What have I been doing lately? Well, I've been doing a bit of sewing. It has been a long time since I have done anything besides sewing on patches for Lee. I've been wanting a Hooter Hider (aka nursing cover) since I had Stephane but didn't want to pay $40 for one. So I took matters into my own hands this time around. I also made a matching diaper clutch. I love it.

This was my first diaper clutch that I made it wasn't big enough for Stephane size diapers.

This is my second one. It is much bigger and can hold both sizes of diapers with ease.

Now on to other projects. A couple of capes for Stephane, a scripture bag for Marie-Eve and some things from Oh So Sassy for my friends Virtual Sewing Party (which anyone can join in).

Stephane being Stephane

Stephane is my biggest cheeser. Whenever I pull out the camera he stops everything and says cheese. Even when I'm trying to get him to continue to do something that he probably shouldn't. I sure love him so much and he's just so darn cute.

Spring Pictures 22 April 2010

Yesterday I took the kids out for a spring photo shoot. Marie-Eve has been asking me to take pictures with the pink flower trees since she saw them 2 years ago. Well, I finally did it. Then we went to the parade field to blow bubbles and just play. I only wish the clouds weren't so low so Mt. Rainier was in the background. Well, I guess we will just have to go again. I took a million pictures and here are just a little sample.
