Just some Projects

I have been busy this week with projects. This is the awesomely cute hat I made that will fit no one sadly; it is too fat and short. But super soft and cute.

Here's my model, see how it fits around his head but its not deep enough? It is very stretchy.

This is Brad being creative. We were gifted a bunch of baby clothes and among all the pink were these cute little shoes.

I also worked on some baby blankets. They were fun and easy and make great gifts. I have seen them at JoAnns but I got these at AC Moore. They come in a kit with fabrics already chosen so you just have to cut and sew. I love this one with the flowers and elelet. I gave it away to a good home. The other one with ducks is going to a good home in a few weeks.

The outside boarder is what they call plush fabric, its like a thick fake velvet. Very soft and hard to sew with but they turned out great.

And here, for posterity, is me trying to sew with the big belly. I really don't look that pregnant in this picture. Oh, and notice the orange shirt Mom, it doesn't look like a balloon, it has elastic around the bottom so it's not billowy like most maternity shirts.

Thanks for watching! I am going to try more hats they are fun and fast to knit so I'll put some more on when I finish them.

Dad's Birthday, Memorial day 2010

Willie and Sequoia, and Dad.
Wish I had taken a few more pictures, but it was a great meal.

New Camera

Our old camera died so we have missed a few months of picture taking, here are a few randoms with the new camera.

Noah got some swim goggles for Easter and decided he wanted to wear them around the house one day.

Noah is also now the newest rider of a two wheeler (although he doesn't like to pedal so he has boycotted riding for now)

Spring Cake

To celebrate Spring, I made some cupcakes and a small cake. Mostly I just wanted to decorate with colored frosting and eat some along the way. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Roadtrip to California and Yuma

Here are a few photos from Hannah and Mom's trip to visit my brothers Bill and Bob, and overnight at Nancy and Bob's, and finally sunshine and great food with Jeff, Evy, and Zach.

Owen and Syd

Thanks to Owen's sister, Sarah, for this portrait.
Once again I can't find the words to express my feelings; but we love you two, we share in your happiness, and look forward to the plans in the coming months.

Earthquake felt in Yuma

The magnitude 7.2 northern Baja California earthquake of Sunday April 4th 2010, occurred approximately 40 miles south of the Mexico-USA border. It was the largest earthquake in the region since 1892. There were also several smaller aftershocks felt following the earthquake, which was felt in San Diego, Los Angeles and as far east as Phoenix and southern Nevada

Groceries fell off the shelves, and there were some power outages. A ramp to a recently completed parking garage was reportable cracked, but otherwise there was minimal damage in Yuma.

Our own yard shook the pool enough to send water sloshing over the edge and across the patio. Wish I had a picture but I was holding onto Gandolf the bird who was freaking out!
