Gifts!!!

So my Internet has not been working. Bummer. But, it is fixed. I wanted to start this at the beginning of December but it didn't work out that way. I love Christmas. Yes, I love Christmas. The reason I love it is because I love to give things to people. If you came to my house and you loved something that was mine I would just give it to you. That is how much I love to give. I love the feeling you get when you give things. Well, this year I am poor. Yes, very poor. But, I love all you bloggers and you give to me every day. Sooooo, I have decided to Cyber Give. Every day from now until Christmas I am going to Cyber give you a gift on my blog. I want you to share your gifts and comment please. Every day I will take the comments and save them and at the end of the month (at random) there will be some real gifts to be had. So if you comment every day then you can have that many chances for a real gift. Mind you I have been to International Quilt Market a few times and have accumulated a few too many Fat Quarter Bundles and such things. I also have some non-quilter gifts too. Sooo share the wealth and advertise if you want to.


Todays gift is a wonderful thing that my friend Shan gave me once for my Birthday. These are the most wonderful socks I have ever owned. I do not know what I would do without them. They really do work. I can rub a little lotion on my feet at night, put on these socks and in the morning TAH DAH!!! Its like I have new feet. So todays Cyber Gift is Bath and Body Works Shea Socks

Veterans Day

Remember this cute boy! He is hilarious! I mean he says the most off the wall things. He recently had an IQ test at school. The school psychologist was amazed. IQ test are made up of several different parts. He was normal in all parts except for the section on Perceptual Reasoning. In this section he scored in the Superior rating. Now this did not suprise me in the least. He has always been very good at reasoning out of things. Not in normal ways either. His teacher told me that he can answer a math problem correctly, but that when you ask him how he got his answer his reply would be "I dont know but don't you worry the answer is right" and it always is. Well anyway, yesterday he went outside before school, came right back in and declared to me that the kids did not have school today because there was a flag in our yard.(The boy scouts put them there on National Holidays) He also told me that it was Vetratarians day! Well, I was amazed I had no idea we had a holiday for Vetranarians who were in the war and didn't eat meat!
Later on that day, he had to call my dad and see if grandpa would help him out at the pinewood derby. He asked him, and my dad said yes. Then Reese said " oh and grandpa one more thing. You know that truck with the camper on it that you have for sale. I was thinking maybe you could save it for me. Then in a few years when I can drive I could have it." I have no idea what my dad said but I almost bust out laughing. What nine year old is worried about what to drive. And would want to drive a 1970 something truck with a camper on the back. Only my Reese.
On another note, this morning my dog Diego came scampering in the Kitchen with something around him. I am always telling my daughter Kenadee to pick up her hair accesories. Well, I guess Diego has taken it upon himself to help her out. Yes, folks that is a headband wrapped around his middle. I have no idea how he managed that but Kenadee should be very happy with him!!

Fall Fabric Clean up

So I decided that my sewing room needed a little pick me up. I don't know what got into me. Maybe it was the giant piles everywhere. Who knows. So I attacked the cupboard. I decided that maybe I could get rid of some fabric. If you are a hoarder you may not want to look.


Before and After




So you see I got rid of a lot of fabric and hauled it right down to the humanitarian person in my ward. Man did I have some ugly fabric. I should have took some pics, but I was in a hurry to get rid of it. My cupboard looks so nice now and there is room for more fabric!!

On with Life

In my little world sometimes life changes. I am sure everyones does this. It seems like I am always looking forward to the next thing in line. For Example: I just had a baby. It seems like I waited for ever for her to get here. Then she got here and I had a break from regular life for a few weeks. Well, the break is over. Real life has started again. It is a little bit difficult finding my groove again. I hate that part. I like my groove and I don't like to figure out all the ins and outs of getting my kids where they need to go, when to go to work, and everything else that comes with being a mom. Hopefully, I will figure out all of this soon. My messy house is driving me nuts!

Ava

Here she is!!!
Ava Angela Limb
We are so excited and she is darling. She is a really good baby too. Especially considering that I have the flu. They even think it may be the swine flu. How sucky is that.
Everything went really well with her. Except for that 15 minutes when my epidural decided not to work on one side!
My other children love her. The first thing out of Coopers mouth is always where's Ava. Then he goes and checks on her. I thought he would not be happy about her, but he sure is. Hopefully I will be able to get a pic of her cute dimples soon.


Thanks to all the people that have helped so far!! I have really needed it this time.
