Human Amp

Sad Girl! Yes, Ella is our human amplifier. I have to write this story down just so we have record of how truly dramatic little sister is.

A few months back I took Ella to the doctor for her check up. Everything was fine until the nurse pulled those needles out. After a few shots, Ella was screaming so hard and loud that not even I could console her. Poor thing. I was trying to snuggle and hug her and use my sweet mommy voice to make her feel better, but nothing worked.

You know when a baby screams so hard that after a minute you can't hear any noise coming out? They are still screaming, but there is very little noise. Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about. I'll have to send miss priss over so that she can demonstrate for you. Well, Ella did this for a few seconds and then all of the sudden, she passed out in my arms. At first, I was pretty scared. Once she came out of it and I realized she was okay, I had to laugh. Ella was screaming so hard and so loud that she passed out. She was getting air out, but none in. I like to blame this screaming temper thing on Matt's genetics!? You can decide for youself who you think she got this from.

Ella = Human Amplifier. I think the rest of us may suffer from some irreversible ear drum damage.
We are hoping that someday she will have a beautiful singing voice so that her lungs are used for something other than screaming.

I love you Ella Lou... and your lungs!!!!!!

Hurricane Joann's

Hurricane Joanne managed to destroy my bedroom while I was preparing for a craft show.

It took some extensive cleaning

Finally, clean at last! Poor Matt, I think he may have shed a tear to have his room back in working order. He can now lay in bed without waking up tangled in yarn.

But, out of this mess ....

Came these fun creations!!!!!

Some of my favorite Hats

Lil' Apron

Favorite Little Miss Priss Scarf!

My favorite little shoes!

Oh... and look at this precious baby boy in my Blueberry Fields cocoon and hat! I love it!

I have loved making and learning all these new things! It reminds me of this quote I heard recently:)!

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty." (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

Love you all!!!

Heaven or Galveston?!!!

Matt and I spent a long weekend in Galveston. It was pretty close to heaven! Beach, naps, shopping, and noooooo kids!!!!!

This was a few yards in front of our hotel.

Stewart Beach = Boogie Boarding and Tanning. I didn't get much of a tan with SPF 30. No oil for me this time. I'm getting smarter and wiser with age :)! Although, my natural whiteness did blind many of the local residents. I would like to start a new trend - White legs are in!!!

Thank you Hurricane Ike for making my hair look nothing less than fabulous in the above picture.

Actually I love resembling a troll.

Thanks mom and dad for watching the sweetest dramas while we were in heaven. Love you!

First Grader!

Happy First Day of School!

I love how her backpack is half her size.

Happy 10 Years

I love you Matt!
