She's Back!

Hey Bloggy friends! Can you believe I am actually on a computer composing a real blog spot?! I know, it's crazy!

My computer crashed and I still haven't recovered my pictures- still praying I can recover them. We got a new computer for Christmas. :) I have some pictures on my camera that I have downloaded from Christmas which I will be posting soon. :)

Here is a fun CRAFT post. MAN, it feels good to post about crafts again! :)

Here are some Christmas gifts I made using my Cricut.

When we were packing to move I took a break to do this below project. I had put it on hold for sooo long, and I knew if I didn't do it before we packed my sewing machine that it could be a long long time until I was able to tackle it.

For my 21st birthday, Mr. Incredible bought me this princess jacket. I was ecstatic! Princess clothes for adults! I love Belle, but I am not really a fan of Snow White and I DO NOT like Aladdin. This jacket is very comfortable and I wear it all the time. I also started to feel uncomfortable wearing a half naked Jasmine to church. Then I had a tshirt that I was in love with but it didn't fit that well. So, I pulled out my sewing machine...

Goodbye sweet princesses- well sweet Belle. Peace out, Jasmine.

Fabric pinned in place...

All done :)

I had to make it big to cover all the princesses- normally I would not have made the layout so large

Proof that I am not perfect, (did you really need proof lol). I was so nervous sewing this project. I had no instruction or anything I just ran with it, (pretty much how I do everything lol). Everything went perfectly. Until the Africa part. It was the most important part of this and that is the part that messed up! BUMMER! Of well! Still cute! :)

Sweetpea has been able to count for awhile now, but it is usually spotty. Yesterday she counted to 10 perfectly, all by herself!

Here she is today- she gets a little distracted but still finishes strong :)

All Girl

I cut Sweetpea's nails the other day and she loved it! She wanted me to keep doing her nails. So, I knew it was time. Time for get first manicure! At 25mths, she loved her manicure and keeps saying, "nails." I just love having a little girl!

Ok, I'm adding another pic. I did her toenails too and she loved it! She bent low towards her feet to get a closet look. :) love it!

Vanilla Ice

We aren't exactly enjoying ourselves in our hotel. We're ready to have a house. Someone please buy our house! (see post below)

My absolute favorite part of living here is that Mr. Incredible spends his lunch break with us everyday!

Yesterday Mr. Incredible's coworker took us to lunch at one of the many mom-n-pop places our little town has. After lunch you get free homemade vanilla ice cream. Sweetpea loved it! :)

Just waiting for him to call to go to lunch today. :) We love seeing him midday! EVERYDAY :)

BUY OUR HOUSE

Someone please buy our house! We are living in a hotel for the time being, and with a puppy and two year old- well, lets just say we are ready to get out! PLEASE BUY OUR HOUSE!!! or at least get the word out for us. :)

Dream Come True

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

-MLK

My family is forever blessed by MLK. :) Here is a pic of Sweetpea and me, on the eve of this man's day. It was also the day we arrived in our new home(town)...still waiting to move into our actual new home. We are sharing a bed in the hotel and she requested taking pics. :)

Love my sweet baby, and she makes me extra thankful for this day and what it symbolizes. :)
