Schools Out For Summer

or until summer school starts....

I wasa so lucky the past year to have had Tate up at Pingree. He had a really rough year in kindergarten, so I was really afraid that he had gotten too far behind and couldn't catch up both academically and behaviorally. But the staff at this school is amazing and have done wonders for Tate. He has progressed so much more this past year than any other school year (and he's been in school since he was 2!) I am so grateful that this school is even here and luckily we get to come back next year!


Tate's teacher sent home a disc of the pictures of him they've taken. They did some very fun activities and he had such a fun time this year. I can't believe he's done with 1st grade already!Tate and Jax at recess

Tate and Tage - such a love/hate relationship with these two. They would play so cute together and then turn around and tease each other mercilessly as only little boys can.Cowboy Tate - riding the pony at Fred's birthday party



"Um, Mr.Fireman! Mr. Fireman!" I wish I knew what he wanted to tell them.

The big bounce!

My Latest Projects

I decided to post pics of the sewing projects I've done the past few months. I am so in love with some of these, I had to show them off....


R's quilt - I started this as a gift, but it's been the first quilt I've kept for myself and has become my favorite one to cuddle up with.




I made baby carrier covers for my sis in laws. This one was for a coworker and was my favorite that I've made.



Tate's Hungry Caterpillar Quilt


Sue's quilt - I made this for my mom's birthday and has to be by far my favorite I've ever made. I love this fabric!



This one isn't new, in fact it's one of the first quilts I ever made, it's Tate's baby blanket. He found it in his closet a couple months ago and pulled in out. I spent most of my pregnancy working on this and did it entirely by hand. I so do not have the patience to do that anymore!
