Sewing Projects!

I've been wanting to learn to sew and I had mentioned I wanted a sewing machine, and I got one for my birthday! (Katie you inspired me to pursue this, I've always wanted to learn but didn't have the guts!) So I sat down last Wednesday (while Isaac took a nap) and gave it a try. Of course I had NO IDEA how to wind a bobbin or thread the machine, so I tried to load the informational DVD on my lap top (but it didn't work) so I had to do it the old fashioned way...read and do EEEEK! I'm not exactly a read and learn kindof person, I learn better if you show me.

Here I go....

Anyways, I wanted to make a "mom bag" for my diaper bag - since I lose all of my stuff in Isaac's diaper bag no matter how organized I try to be. So with two kinds of fabric, buttons and ribbon I set out to create my first project...what do you think? (It's big enough for my wallet, camera and little things like chap stick, keys and phone)

Yes that's a pocket!

Today (Wednesday again!) I start class for my teaching certification...and I wanted to make something I could keep my pens in - considering I always lose them no matter how big or small my purse is - something cuter then a pencil pouch - so again during Isaac's nap, I created this modern pencil pouch! How cute is this!!?!?

**Don't be discouraged or intimidated if you want to try something new, it is so worth it when you discover that you're good at what you've always wanted to do!**

Aquarium

Sal and I took Isaac to the Aquarium in a few weeks ago. It was so much fun (crowded but fun) and Isaac enjoyed seeing everything. While we were at the penguin exhibit, Isaac was standing with his nose pressed to the glass and a penguin swam right up to him - beak to nose - and stared at him for about 10 seconds! It was crazy! We were so surprised we didn't grab our camera! Enjoy the slide show!

A boy and his Daddy

Isaac loves loves his daddy, even though it looks the total opposite in the first two pictures!

NO THANK YOU!

Watching TV

I'm Gonna Gettcha!

Easter Basket

Our Friend, Meagan, made amazing Easter Basket and Goodie Tray's this year. So we ordered a boy's basket -OH MY GOODNESS! It is the cutest thing I have EVER seen! And of course I couldn't wait to give it to Isaac (he was sitting on the couch when she came over with it) so I let him look through it! Enjoy the slide show!!!

Weeeee!

Isaac got this great slide from Pops and Gigi for Christmas and he has learned how to climb up the stairs but he also tries to climb up the slide itself...enjoy the video! Listen how he says "Yeah" with me! Too Cute!!!

SPOONS!

Isaac is teething (ugh!)
And he finds the funniest things to gnaw on - his new favorite chew toy...
a SPOON.


He has an "adult" spoon in his mouth and his spoon in the other hand

Trying to get what's on the spoon off

I love his face!

GRRRR!

Houston we have a...

CLIMBER!!!

Isaac has recently discovered he can climb. He climbs onto the couch, he climbs on the toys at the mall, he climbs up the stairs to his slide, and now he's discovered he can climb to the top of the toy that helped him learn to walk.....greeaaat!

He actually made it to the top (both feet, no hands) but I was laughing so hard, holding onto his legs that I couldn't get a picture! What am I going to do!? Thankfully he can't climb out of his crib (yet)...not that he hasn't tried, thankfully he's still a little short.
