Movie Recommendation

I rarely recommend movies to others, but last night Mike and I watched Fireproof and I really liked it. It's a Christian-themed movie and has Kirk Cameron in it. The acting is not the best, but the overall movie is great. Rent it. Soon. It's good. I promise!

A House!

I'm excited to announce that we are buying a house. The only problem is that it hasn't been built yet. A minor detail, sort of. They are going to start digging the hole for the basement/foundation on Monday and I'm going to try to document the entire process in pictures. So, this probably won't be the last post about the house that you read. We expect to be finished sometime this summer. (I'm being vague so I won't be disappointed if it's not done by when the builder said it would be.)

Our Future Homestead!:

Valentine's Weekend

Decorating cookies with Aunt Shanae. Carson kept saying, "I'm decorating cookies, this is a party." He was excited to have a part in the festivities.

My Latest Creations

I sewed a denim quilt for my brother-in-law's family. It was a Christmas present, but they live in another state and so I was just able to give it to them when they came to visit a couple of weeks ago. My mom and I designed the pattern ourselves and it was a lot of fun to do.



Finding a place to put grocery bags was a problem at our house until a few years ago when Mike engineered this:


It was great and served its purpose, but then I got this idea from makeitandloveit.blogspot.com and created this:

A Tooth!

Blake had his first tooth poke through last week. We both felt like he's too little to have a tooth. It's just hard to accept how fast they grow up!
