Fabric Fanatic

OK...does anyone else "feel" the clothes they are going to buy? Especially baby clothes! I even catch myself smelling them on occasion, ridiculous I know. Todd thinks this is funny but fabric really does matter to me. You would think that linen, one of my favorites to wear, would not be found in my mother and teacher closet, but practicality really isn't the appeal I suppose.

I am looking for fabric to tie together my burnt orange (yes, I have orange couches...stop laughing, they're actually really cute!) and a good robin's egg blue or something similar. Upon this search I found an amazing fabric site. Anyone know someone coming here from Australia any time soon? haha I couldn't stop smiling. I want it all. I want curtains and pillows and aprons and quilts. ALL!!!!
Hope you enjoy, take a look. And PLEASE tell me if you find any fabric that has blue and orange together...oh, and isn't gross.
Thanks!

School's out, let the summer begin!

Hollywood in Texas

At school we have been busy writing books the last couple of months. We participated in a program where each child gets to become a published author of a hardcover book. With each first grader able to make a book, it was only fitting to show them off by having our annual Hollywood Book Premiere. We all came to school decked and had a fabulous time. Parents came in the afternoon and each child sat in the author's chair while I spotlighted him/her and each got to read a portion of the book. I was lots of fun! Here I am with my silly kiddos dressed to the nines.

Give me an "S"..."A"..."D"..."E"..."Y"!

We officially have a highschool "rah rah" at our house! Sadey had tryouts for Freshman Cheer today and found out this evening that she made the squad!

We are so proud of her. She has been taking tumbling the last couple of months to prepare and her sore legs have paid off! She has practiced more than ever, done yoga like crazy, and pushed herself harder than ever before to improve.

Sadey, we are so proud of you and excited for you to start high school this way!

Go Dragons!

Beautiful Blue

It's that time of year again...they are along the sides of the roads and highway. They are a striking blue, one of my favorite colors, and I love seeing them. Originally I was surprised by the size, barely rising above the ground, knowing they represent such a huge state as Texas. I do love them all the same. Am I becoming a Texan??? Hmmm.

Footprints

Todd found this online while getting our lesson ready for church. Is this real? Anyone have those "alien" moments like I did when your belly moved funky while preggers? I actually miss those times.

Now mine just moves funky because it jiggles like it's not supposed to.

Nice.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Some people say I look like my mom. Some say I look like my sister. Some see blood line resemblances. My sister says I am just like my other sister in my mannerism.

Do you look like your family?

Do you act like them?

Do you deny you do? haha

Sunday I sat and smiled as I watched my friend do the Disco to a church song in singing time at church. (Who knew Follow the Prophet could be so fun!) I then had to laugh...really hard...as I watched her 5 year old daughter do it with just as much enthusiasm. AND ATTITUDE!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Ummm....ouch!

equals the fun I had in the ER yesterday. Let's hear it for kidney stones! :(
