Pink Lady

I unintentionally had Lizzie in all pink the other day as the kids went out to ride their bikes. She was the one who had to wear that sweatshirt. I had to get my camera when I realized how pink she really was:)

Lizzie turns 2!!

No more babies in this house:( Lizzie turned two on Monday, and we had a little party for her on Sunday. Kaye and Jerry flew up just for the special occasion. I think she enjoyed all the love and attention.

A few pics from the party...I tried to get some decent shots of Lizzie, but she was a little uncooperative...

I made this little dress for her birthday....I decided it might look more like an apron:)

Broke down and bought her some girl Thomas trains...she loves to play with Knox and his trains...

I think Aunt Jen had a little fun buying Lizzie's gift...frilly skirt, purse, sunglasses and My Little Pony! Let's hope one of those babies she's growing is a girl:)

Grandma got her a hat that matched perfectly!

Lizzie thinks Poppie needs to wear the hat and sunglasses...

Obviously enjoying the cake...


Loved her Strawberry Shortcake balloon!



Here's a few shots of my gift to Lizzie...I actually took the time to do a real quilt binding, but cheated and didn't hand sew it down...who really has time for that?...maybe next time:) I put an "E" on it for Elizabeth...I know she's Lizzie most of the time, but I still want her to be Elizabeth...I guess maybe she can decide when she's older:)

And, last but not least, Lizzie's new bed. I saw it a long time ago at IKEA and just thought it was the cutest! Lizzie loves it and has slept so good in it. I hope that continues.

What can make this girl's heart sing?

The UPS man bringing me a lovely package of fabric. All the gorgeous colors and patterns make my mind spin with endless possibilities! I know I'm a dork...but at least I'm admitting it:)

On a related subject, I'm almost done with Lizzie's birthday present and hope to post it soon.

Coming out of hibernation...

It's been a while, to say the least. We had some sunny days with temps in the upper 30's and reaching 40 today and tomorrow. That's cause for Spring Fever up here in the northwoods!

I have been a blog slacker with not much of anything exciting to report, but am trying to get back on the wagon. The kids finally got a chance to go outside for longer than 10 min. yesterday. I quick snapped some shots of them all bundled up before they went out with Grandma.

Hopefully, I will post again soon as Miss Lizzie turns 2 on Monday and is even in a big girl bed!

I don't know why Knox looks so mad, but he wouldn't crack a smile, so this is all he gave me:)
