Creative and Crafty Sister !!

My sister Melissa is very talented and creative.. She loves to sew and is always making adorable things for our children. I have said 1000 x's that if we lived closer to each other then we would have a business. Since Melissa won't blog, open an Etsy shop or sell any of her ideas then I will display them here !!!

Adorable Minnie Mouse shirt Cathryn wore to Disney !!
A pillow Melissa copied from Ballards

Precious pillow John (my Nephew) made with the help of his mom !!

Look at these precious dolls Melissa made for Cathryn and Claire. Each one matches their bedding and room.... Lovin it :o)

Great idea for Crayons. We are always loosing them and they never stay together. Now we roll them up and take them wherever we go !!

More to come ... Melissa might not make us anything else once she sees me posting pictures HAHA !!!

11 Years Ago !!

11 years ago we said, " I Do !" 1 apt, 3 houses , 3 children and about 15 pounds later..... Where has the time gone ??? We look soooo young :o)

Disney Christmas 2009

This Christmas we decided to take Cathryn to Disney World for a few days. We needed to spend some time with just her. Davis always has our attention and since June Claire has been the focus. Perfect timing since we were in Fl. at my parents. And who better to watch Davis and Claire than Pawpaw and Nana. Disney is absolutely beautiful at Christmas. The lights, parades, castle, fireworks and decorations were breathtaking.

It seemed too easy with just one child. My mind is always thinking ahead and doesn't stop.... What is Davis going to eat and where? Does he need something to drink or his diaper changed (where can I change him)? Are his legs/braces bothering him? Does he need to stand/stretch or is he tired etc... Claire is 6 months old so you know what that entails. This was a piece of cake !!!! Cathryn loved it and we had a fabulous time :o)

Aunt Melissa made Cathryn's mickey shirt.... It is adorable !!!
