Need advice

I started making these frames this week, and I think they are cute so I was going to make some more and put them in reruns are fun or maybe try Craig's list (Angela says they sale alot of crafts on there). So basically I want to know #1 if you would pay for these at all, and #2 if you would how much would you pay. Be honest my feelings won't get hurt!

So much to catch up on!

Well we have had a pretty busy weekend so let me get started! Saturday Kahlan went with her cousin to Zoey's World, which is this place in pierre bossier mall where they dressup and pamper little girls just for fun! She had her hair and makeup done as well as having a pedicure, manicure, and facial! Kahlan is all girl so she was really into it as you can see from the below pictures! On a side note I really did try to get her to pick something besides the blue hair but she really wanted it!


Getting ready to get there hair done!

Getting ready for there pedicures!

Enjoying there facials!

All done up!

Sunday we had Cole's first B-day, and while I really wanted it to be relaxing and fun it did not exactly work out that way. I had an indoor party planned, but changed it last minute because the weather said it would be 73 and overcast, but no rain I changed it to Brownlee park so the kids could run around and play! Well the wind was like a tornado, there was no hint of sun, and about the time my one year old started shoving cake into his face we started feeling the first sprinkles! A little part of me wanted to cry as everyone rushed to shove stuff in cars. I know I am being ridiculous, its not like he will remember any of this and if you look at the pictures it looks like it went off without a hitch, but it was his first birthday and it definatly did not go as planned!

Cole's B-Day cake!

He loved that balloon!

This was defiantly his favorite part!

My cute nephew!

Today I took Cole to get his first haircut, and I was definatly a little nervous, but his hair was getting a little unruly. I was so surprised he did so well! I didn't have to hold him in my lap are fight him to be still, he just sat on the little booster thing and let her cut his hair. The beautician was amazed to. I must say he is a great kid!

Happy Birthday Cole!!!

Cole turned One years old today!! He has been a real joy to have! Let me lay out some facts.
Cole is crawling, pulling up, and cruising while holding on to something. He has eight teeth, four across the top, four across the bottom. He says momma, but only when he is upset. He decided all on his own that he was done with baby food. He loves bananas, nutri-grain bars, pasta pickups, and he recently got hold of a powdered donut and went crazy. He weighs 19 lbs. 13 oz., he is extremely ticklish, and loves when his siblings show him any kind of attention! The following is an overview of Cole's first year. I know it is long I apologize, but he is my last baby!!

WHAT A WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been arguably the worst week I have ever had. Connor started throwing up on Mon. night, running fever, and having all other non mentionable stomach problems. All of the symptoms hit kahlan on Tuesday and Cole by the end of that night, Dutch was gone until very late Wed. night and so then he joined the other patients pretty much as soon as he came in the door on Thurs.

Please understand this was no small amount of throwing up are stomach problems. All three of my children threw up on me, kahlan actually got me in the face. I cleaned more throw up and poo then any one person should in a lifetime!!!!!! Dutch and Cole are really the only ones still having symptoms so tomorrow will be spent disinfecting this den of sickness. I could not believe I never really got it, my kids must have helped me develop an immune system of steal! So I guess I am just blogging my woes from this week!


On a lighter note Connor has had perfect conduct for three weeks and so I brought him out for a surprise and he picked out his first pet. He was so excited to buy everything they needed. There are two fish in there, the silver one is Connor's which he named Junior and the Gold one is Kahlan's which she named, "The Gold One" so I told her Goldie for short! Fish are good starter pets of course we will see if I still feel that way when I am running to wal-mart at 11:00 at night to replace Goldie because I found her floating at the top! Lets hope that doesn't happen to soon!


Oh yeah I made these cute pics and Collages that I wanted to add so I could end on a fun note!

Here is my first try!

Here is the final outcome!

So here is the fan blade I should have looked at BEFORE I started painting!

So I told you guys I was going to try to do some more painting so I thought I would do a painting for Kahlan's room at the new house. My thought was I would try to mimic the fan blades of this fan I had bought awhile ago for her new room, trouble with that is I had put the fan up in the attic and thought that I remembered what the fan blades looked like. So this morning before I blogged this I had Dutch get in the attic and get the fan down so I could take a picture of the fan blade so I could show what I was trying to mimic, and low and behold the fan blades were completely different then how I remembered them (I am a SPAZ!). So now I have this picture that I worked really hard on, that does not match her room! So here it is anyway so let me know what you think!

new craft

My friends Keith & Amy's little girl Addy is turning one today, and since she is overloaded with toys and clothes I thought I would make her something. I went to Michaels to find a canvas with a picture frame in it hoping I could paint it from scratch, but no such luck. I did find this frame that I really liked and decided there was enough room to paint what I wanted on it. So I got the frame for about $11 bucks, the ribbon for like a dollar, the paint for 4 dollars, and the pic of Addy I blew up at wal-mart for life five dollars. My friend Mallori helped me with some of it, and I was really happy with how it came out. It gave me some confidence that I can do this kind of stuff so I think I am going to try some more paintings. I will let you know how it goes!

Life right now!

11 Months Old!!!

Well Cole finally started crawling on Dec. 20th! I thought it would never happen. He has defiantly caught up on lost time now because he is all over the place. He has four teeth on the bottom and two teeth on the top (he looks really funny because the two he has on top are his two k-9's). He eats some table food now. He loves mixed veggies, banana's, and pancakes! He is my only child out of the three that said mommy first, Yeah!! He is 21 lbs. and his red hair is starting to curl everywhere, which makes is look a little unruly. He is a real Joy!

I had my cousin come take some pics of me & Cole together because I feel like I am always behind the camera! Cole & Anderson! We actually didn't plan the outfits!

My 11 month old!


Kahlan

I think Kahlan is starting to suffer a little middle child syndrome. She doesn't know why Connor gets to go to school and she doesn't, and Cole gets attention for being the baby and I feel like she has been feeling a little out of the loop. So with Connor going back to school I am going to try to spend some time doing some special things with her. It gets hard to find individual time with each child when you have three, but I love spending the time when I get it. So I am open to some suggestions about fun stuff I could do with my little girl!

She loves her princess dresses!

I had a little mini photo session with my girl! She is so cute!

Connor

Connor has been off school for the last couple of weeks, and I will be honest I was preparing myself to go back to fighting and screaming all the time, I was wrong. I overall really enjoyed having Connor at home. He is just obsessed with the computer. He would play games all day if I let him so I have had to start giving him time limits. He continually impresses me with what he figures out on his own. He really is a pretty great kid.

Showing off his LSU sweater he got for Christmas!

Me & Connor at his school Christmas party!
