Baby quilt

I made this one for my cousin Shellie. A coworker of hers was having a baby shower last weekend. Her colors were Carolina blue and chocolate brown.


This is the first quilt I have done with the free motion stippling pattern. I used Carolina blue thread and it really came out beautifully. I can't wait to do the next one.

I named this blog right.....

The kids are usually busy, busy, busy but here lately we've ALL been up and running. Weekend before last Kojak, the boys and I went out to the coast to visit for his Mom's 70th birthday. Haley had already been there about a week and she will be there with her Nannie until the beginning of July. (Last trip before school starts in August) Anyway, while we were there we took the kids to the beach and I got a few other pretty decent pictures too.

Kojak and Donnie took the boys out into the waves.....I was in desperate need of medication.


Cameron got some up his nose.

Wet sand was a big attraction.




Little dirt magnets


I love that face of hers.


My Babies!

This past weekend was fun filled as well. Papaw and Theresa came up to visit. Bo was inducted into the Masons on Thursday night and Papaw and Daddy went to be with him for that occasion.


Annabelle.....I only got this picture because I caught her off guard.


Gabby....silly girl!


James is the surfing Popeye! At least he thinks that's a surf board. I can't convince him otherwise.


Now he's paddling out! I hope he's not waiting for a wave.


Daddy.....probably wishing my camera would disappear.


Bo......by the way.....Bo entered a weight loss challenge program through work and since January has lost over 46 lbs. He quit smoking, changed his eating, drinking and exercise habits. Determined that one is. Mom said he even goes jogging while wearing a trash bag over his clothes. Apparently he likes sweating more than I do. But he looks great, way to go Big Brother! Although, I can't say that I like your choice of t-shirts. BOO!


James doing his pirate impression!


As Theresa calls them....the matched set!


Speaking of.....hey you guys, I'm taking your picture!


Jamie, Tina, Gabby and Annabelle.


Mom and Dad!


The whole group except me... I like it behind the camera! Jamie's looking a little too comfortable in his pink shirt!


My boys putting on that glitzy smile...see where they get it?


Bo and Millie....love this picture!


This one too.....it's funny! New torture method.....


The fam!




All in all, it was a great weekend. I love hanging out with family. I'm hoping that we can go to Florida to visit soon.

And thus ends the mass of pictures I've been trying to get on the blog for three days.
