Happy Birthday to Wesley!

Wesley turned 3 on the 1st of October! I can't believe he is three! He has been pretty excited.  I've always done some sort of Halloween theme, Mike thinks that's silly, so this year I switched it up a little and did a Monster theme.  We went to the movie "Hotel Transylvania" and to lunch at Chic-fil-a, then home to get ready for the big family party.

I made his invitation with my scrapbook factory. Jaime swears it is easy to use, I disagree. It took me over 3 hours! I'm not sure it was worth it.  I do like how it turned out.

 We looked online for cake ideas. Wesley loved the monster cake. The one online looked better, but I did my best. Those little cake pops were harder then I thought they were going to be. I couldn't get them to stay on the sticks, they kept sliding off.

 We made a little bean bag throw to try and keep the kids entertained. It worked pretty well.

 Here's my handsome birthday boy.

 He liked his new monster hat.

 He got a new helmet from my parents to go with his new bike, that didn't come until the next day. And was a potty reward/birthday present.  No he is not potty trained, but he did finish his potty chart. We are a little more strict with the new potty chart. :) Which will earn him a trip to Chuck-E-Cheese.

 Mike's mom made him a Super Hero blanket.  He loves it and sleeps with it every night.

 He blew all the candles out.

 We had a really good day.

We are so blessed to have Wesley in our family.

He loves to ride his bike. He has started to draw pictures, that you can actually kind of tell what they are, usually spiders or Mike. :) He loves to play with our iPod touch. He likes trains and superheros. He really wants to go to school, he is sad when Jaycee leaves. He is super ticklish, and has the best laugh. He loves to read books, he sneaks several to bed with him every night. He is a tease. Every now and then he likes to cuddle, usually when Jaycee is at school, he will let me rock him. I love that! He is very observant. If I change something in the house, he is the first to notice. He has a really good sniffer. He is always saying "I smell something." Usually followed by "I smell something disgusting."Almost always it's about something I am cooking for dinner. :) He hates to have his picture taken, and to get his ears wet.

He is a blessing and we would be incomplete without him.

 

Just Another Hat

Owl...I actually made this hat for me, because I liked the owl so much. This one has a little different eyes and ears, still one of my favorites.

Hats, House and Holidays

It's been awhile since I last posted. Christmas time is so crazy and I've been making hats like a mad woman! I was finally able to get a picture of Wesley with his owl on...he's so cute!

And I've got a few more to show: A monkey, a Kitty in hot pink and a red hat with a flower. I'm working on a Hello Kitty for Jaycee, hopefully she likes it. She always tells me she wants an owl. I guess if she doesn't like it I can always make her a owl.
We got our blank wall finished...actually we did it back in October but I just got around to taking pictures of it and our house all festive.
We are almost ready for Christmas, me and Mike were wrapping everything last week and Jaycee had a mountain of presents and Wesley only had 4. In all reality, I think he will have more fun with the paper and boxes. So I don't feel that bad. I don't know if it is girls are more fun to buy for or that I know what she likes. She's just easier.
I sometimes wonder if I should continue with the blog then I find my kids like this and it's all worth it.

Well, until next time Merry Christmas!

Holy Hats Batman!

This year for winter birthday gifts and Christmas gifts I decided I was going to make hats. I found a really cute pattern for animal hats and I fell in love! So I've been making a lot of hats. So far all the recipients of the hats love them which is awesome because I love them too. :) We have an Owl

The owl is my favorite this picture doesn't do it justice.
The Cat

Hello Kitty

The Cow


The Monkey

I asked my little nephew McKay(Spencer & Heather's little boy)who will be turning 3, what he wanted. Like a dog or a cow. He rubbed his little chin and said "Hum, let me think...a tiger!" I said are you sure you don't want a dog or something? No luck, he wasn't budging on the tiger. So I thought I'd give it a shot. I looked online and found some cute hats and was able to make my own and I love it. It turned out pretty good for me guessing. I'm not that great without a pattern. Here it is, the Tiger.

and a cute little doggy that I don't have a picture of. Which is funny because I think I've made that one the most.
So if you know anybody that wants a cute little animal hat I'll make them one for $15 to $20. :)
