Here goes nothin'

People are always telling me that I should sell the stuff I make so here goes nothin'. I am officially selling hairbows. I will also take requests for anything else you see me make on my blog specifically diaper cakes and graduation bouquets. If you see anything in the slide that you love and you just have to have or you want it but in another color, leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Big Boy!

I thought it would be fun to do a comparison of all my kids at birth and four months respectively.

At birth (2 days late!) Charity was 8 lbs. 3 oz. By four months she was 14.06 lbs. and in the 62 percentile compared to other females her age.

Eliza was born 3 weeks early and only weighed in at a dainty 6 lbs. 6 oz. By the time she was four months she had already had 2 ear infections which slowed her weight gain so she only weighed 12.94 lbs. and was in the 36 percentile.

Samuel was born 2.5 weeks early and was 7 lbs. 5 oz. And now he is a whoppin' 16.41 lbs. and in the 68 percentile compared to males his age. He's my big boy! If he's anything like Charity his sweet chubbiness will only last until he starts walking. I find it crazy the difference in size considering they were all still exclusively breastfed at four months.

Water Fun

My cousin Niki and our friend Stephanie and I took our kids to a water pad last Friday. It was so much fun I wish we could go everyday! The kids loved it and it was so nice to get wet without having to worry about anybody drowning. :)

Charity has always loved water. She could go swimming everyday and never get sick of it.

Eliza is so white that I have to put sunblock in her hair to keep her scalp from burning so I decided to "style" her hair. It was funny.

Sam is such a stud! And so sweet I could eat him up!

I thought this picture of Lizzy and her best friend KaileeJo was so funny because they are right by the "NO ENTRY" sign.

Idea Theif

So I admit I'm an idea theif. :( I love to do crafty crap but I seldom come up with original ideas. I typically steal them from other people. One person I love to steal them from is Bakerella. She is amazing! I got the idea for these darling graduation caps from her. Though I have to say I came up with the idea for the pot with flowers to give them in. I gave this to my friend Liz who just graduated from nursing school. She loved it.

Free Food

So today I learned about three times in the next week you can get free or almost free food. Today Ben and Jerry's gave out free ice cream cones to anybody who walked in the door! James and I took the kids and it was great!

Monday, April 27th, KFC is giving out a piece of their new grilled chicken to any customer that walks through their doors. I heard about this on a friends blog but here's a link to confirm it: http://www.unthinkfc.com/

Wednesday, April 29th, Baskin Robbins will be selling scoops of ice cream for 31 cents to honor America's firefighters from 5:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. Here's a link to confirm it: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1593252/free_ice_cream_cone_from_ben_and_jerrys.html?cat=22

So after I learned about this free food I decided to go on a hunt for more. This is what I found http://www.familyfriendlyamerica.com/kidseatfree.html This is a site where they list all the restaraunts that offer free or discounted meals to kids on certain days of the week. One that isn't always listed is Denny's. Most Denny's offer free kids meals on Tuesday, with the purchase of an adult meal.
This site also had some cool ideas http://www.ehow.com/how_4562069_get-free-food.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art

So go have some free food!

More cakes

I made this cake Saturday for a friends birthday. It turned out better than expected. I was kinda sad I didn't get to eat this cake because it was two layers of red velvet cake with an entire can of cream cheese frosting in between the layers and a can covering it with chocolate frosting accents. Yum!

The Barbie cake was for a friend I do crafts with. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped but oh well. I'm calling it a learning experience. ;)

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday we blessed Sam. James' parents were able to make it to the blessing which was so exciting because we didn't think anybody was going to be able to come. Sadly I didn't get any good pictures of the girls Easter dresses but that's okay because we are going to have them professionally done since we don't have family pictures with Sam in them yet. After the blessing we had a bunch of friends over for a barbeque and Easter Egg hunt. It was so fun. The best part was when I talked the other adults into Easter Egg hunting with me. I don't have pictures of that part but trust me it was funny.
