I want my babyback ribs!

Miss Charity got to eat ribs for the first time. She really seemed to enjoy them. They were as messy as could be expected.

New Word!

Lately, Charity's been practicing saying "Momma", probably because she knows she can get nearly anything out of me when she says it. But this week she's got a new one. She's been spending sometime at her grandma's while Lee and I have been training to be ombudsmen. Her uncle Glenn has been trying the whole time to get her to say his name. It was not his intention, but we'll call it his fault for her new word, which was not his name. Charity heard him yell at the dog, and then of course repeated it. "Shut-up." It only took once.

Baby, you make me smile.

Sweat'n to the Oldies, Mousersize, whatever you want to call it, it was cute and she had fun.

Need a good laugh?

Rosy Cheek Boutique

Here is Charity in one of the skirts and bow that I make for Rosy Cheek Boutique. This set she gets to keep. It's my favorite skirt. It'll be cute for Easter too.

Kati Cupcake

Charity had fun today visiting a quilt shop/baby boutique. It was interesting to see all the infant clothes that Charity is now too big for. She is officially a toddler. The main pieces of the quilt shop are Kati Cupcake (the owner's own designs). We plan to make some of the little girl clothes patterns for Charity in the near future.

Kati Cupcake is having a give-a-way right now for her new line of fabric. Check it out: http://katicupcakequiltingco.blogspot.com

PS. That's not Charity above, just a pic of one of the Kati Cupcake Patterns I want to make for her.

Happy 1st Birthday Charity!!!

The year has come and gone FAST! Charity turned one, can you believe it?! We still can't. Here are some pics and clips of her birthday party. She seemed to really enjoy her self, and got really good at opening presents (although she didn't really care for her presents being taken away just to open a new one :) ). Thank you to everyone who came, helped out, and or gave a gift. We're still trying to find a place to put all her new toys. Charity has lots of fun with them.

Before.
During.
After.
All of the kids seemed to have tons of fun playing. Charity's grandma made a big teepee to which was added a couple of tunnels and a tent. There were also balls and blocks, and all sorts of toys from her birthday that every kid (no matter what age) enjoyed.


Kody like to pretend that he was taking pictures of all the action too. He made his own camera out of foam blocks. Charity had lots of good helpers to help her gift unwrapping job easier.


Thanks for the ribbon, whoever sent it! Charity really enjoyed it. ;)

Miss Charity

Some people have been asking what to get Charity for her birthday so we thought we'd just list some suggestions here. The best thing to get would simply be money towards her college fund. Other than that she could use clothes (size 12+), shoes (size 3+), developmental toys, board books, and she likes stuffed animals too. Please avoid noisy and obnoxious toys (or we'll get 'em for your kids later).
