My Grandmother

First I would like to start this post off by saying a big thanks to Marianne over at Family American Style. I won the most beautiful Christmas ornament and I am just so excited about getting to put it on my tree this year. You can go to her blog Show Off You Creation to see how you could win one.

Well going to Marianne website and seeing how she can make such beautiful stuff made me think of all the stuff that my Grandmother could make. I have been thinking of my Grandmother alot lately I guess because on Sept the 9th of 2003 she passed away. I have many regrets about my Grandmother one being that I wish I would have went and seen her more and that she could have spent more time around Ian. I wish she could have meet Bradon and gotten to have know him and the other grand children and great grand children. I wish I could have learned all the stuff that she knew how to do.

I remember my Grandmother got me my first pretty punch kit. It was a poodle and I can't remember if I ever finished it or not but it was so much fun doing. If you have never heard of pretty punching it is is a simple form of needlecraft, kind of like embroidery without all the complicated stitches and knots. She also got me my first latch hook kit that was a cat and that I still have that I made into a pillow.



When me and my husband got married she gave me a quilt and some ceramics that's she made.

This Quilt was a Wedding gift from her.

This is 2 of a set of 4 canisters. I put one of the lids down to show the top.

This is a duck she made and gave to my husband. He loves ducks and had one as a pet when he was a child.

This one is a cookie jar.

This is another quilt she made that I have.

There was nothing that my Grandmother couldn't do as far as crafts go. She quilted, made many things from crochet like crochet bed dolls, and Christmas ornaments. I just couldn't name all the stuff she could make. I just wish I could have learned from her.

So to my Grandmother I love you and miss you so very much. I am so very sorry that I didn't go see you more. I wish I could have learned all the stuff you knew. I just wish we would have had more time. I know you are in a far better place now free from all the pain. So until that day that I get to see you again just know that I love and miss you.

What Would Your Child Say? Wednesday.

Well I know I am late like always it seems but here is my What Would Your Child Say? Wednesday hosted by Family American Style.



Well My Bradon loves chocolate milk and if it was up to him he would drink it all day long. Well while I am making it he goes "Chocolate milk dance" and then does a little dance. It is so cute.



Have I told everyone how much I just love this little boy. Well both my little boys.

Somethings I Love

Well I haven't done this in awhile so I thought I would make another Things I love post.

First is McDonald's Angus Burger Bacon and Cheese.



Something else I love is Lay's Salt and Vinegar chips.



Ian is a picky eatter but he loves these chips to. Ofcourse Ian will also eat sour cream out of the bowl like it is ice cream.

Remember When..

Remember when I ust to post all those pictures of the tiny little frog that we found.

Well now all those frog are all grown up.

Here are 2 of the 4 frogs we found today all in the same spot.



Bradon tried to hold them but the kept getting away so I held one for him and took a picture. What is up with that child's face?

Our Sunday was like every other Sunday. Went to church, and then to my moms to eat, came home and hubby mowed the grass, and then the kids played in the yard.





Then I did a little gardening. My roses where getting a little out of control.

Getting A Head Start

That is on Halloween. Ian has been talking and talking about Halloween he just can't wait. He has been going back and forth over what he wants to wear. If I could pick they would go as Mario and Luigi.

Ian on the other does not like this so I guess it is a no go. He wants to be the Headless Horseman.

Or a Shark eating a man.



Bradon on the other hand said "I want to be a cat meow" I told him I don't think he could be a cat maybe a lion but I haven't seen any little boys dressed like a sweet little house cat and I don't think his dad would like it.

He has expressed interest in this monster truck costume.



I think this costumes better fits his personality.



Of course this is cute to.



Or I was thinking of this costume.



I could take all the head gear off and dress him like his favorite person Jessie James.

If I really wanted to go crazy with the whole Halloween thing I could torture my little dog and get her this costume. It is oh so fitting for a weenie dog don't you think.




Ok so I won't do that to my Lady girl but she sure would be cute.
