BBQ in the Snow — April 12, 2008

We’ve had really beautiful weather lately, so Rob’s Dad invited us over for a BBQ on Saturday. Turns out we had SNOW! Rob’s Dad BBQ’d anyway. :) Kristin went with her band class to go ice skating, but the rest of us went to the BBQ.

Here is the picture story — again taken on cell phone… :-/

Fuzzy Crochet Cell Phone Cozies!

Last night I just felt like I wanted to make something special for Kristin and Jewell to brighten their day today. I had bought some fuzzy yarn at Hobby Lobby not long ago, and thought I could make them each a cell phone cozy for their cell phones. I just kind of winged the pattern for each of them, but it didn’t take long, and I had finished these cozies. I will probably end up making myself one, too. :)

Kristin LOVES lime green, so I made her cell phone cozy with this fuzzy lime green yarn:

Jewell’s favorite color is blue, so I made her cell phone cozy blue:

 They were both thrilled with their cell phone cozies this morning. It was worth staying up late to finish both of their crocheted cell phone cozy’s just to brighten their morning. :) Sometimes the littlest things can make a big impact. Not only was their morning brightened, but mine was brightened because they loved and appreciated them so much!

for fun — for sanity’s sake… Love is…

When I was little, I remember my Aunt had a book called Love Is… It was a Peanuts book, if I remember correctly, and it took you through different things that represented love and Happiness… It always reminded me and helped me appreciate the little everyday things that we get to enjoy. Here is my “Love is”… 

 Even when things don’t go your way… “Love is” this little girlie standing up in her crib first thing in the morning. Her first words are always, “Momma…. Momma”…

oh zoe

Friggie Magnets… Who doesn’t love these??

Girlies being Girlies… Primping as girls will…

“This is how to look like a sixth grader”… What cuteness!

Starbucks Iced Carmel Macchiato (Need I say more??) And I love green straws (And the dreaded Starbucks Princess)…

Somedays, only a King Size will do…

Ah yes, and lets not forget…

16 years of pure wedded bliss:

Love is when your husband emails you a picture of himself, even though you are sitting in the same room… (Positive Interpersonal Communication)…

wedded bliss
