Craig and Alice had their new baby a few weeks ago. I usually make/buy a gift for brand new babies just because they were born. You know, that is a rough trip! :) I found this quilt on a blog that I decided I wanted to make. It didn’t look too hard so I thought I’d give it a shot!

It is called a rag quilt.

The basic steps are to take a couple pieces of flannel and sew them together with an “X”. Then you sew all of the squares together.

The final step is the cut each raw edge every 1/4 inch or so then wash/dry it.

It gets so fluffy and fuzzy and nice :)

We have a couple pots in the backyard. One has herbs and the other has some tomatoes and peppers. The tomatoes finally turned red! Abby had been begging to pick them while they were orange. So, when they finally turned red we went over the the plant and I pulled back the leaves so she could grab one. As I was rearranging the leaves so she could grab the next one I noticed that she was no longer standing right beside me. When I looked up all she said was

MMMMM JUICY!!!

Nice Abby! :P We were able to pick four pretty nice little red ones.

Abby just kept eating the one she picked first.

She took a break to play in the pool for a bit. But don’t worry… she came back and finished it off!

Well, there are many things I’m teaching my girls. One of the biggest ones is it is okay to pay $4 for a cup of foo foo coffee if the people make you smile and the atmosphere is nice :) So, here we are at an outing with those crazy friends we have :)

All the kids were there!

Abby and Hannah. Hannah is saying, “Hiiii”

Maddie and Caden.

I love that my friend loves my kid even when she doesn’t know I’m taking a picture :)

But then I thought I’d get her attention…

This is Abby’s smile lately. I think I remember Miss Kailey having a great posed smile for a while too. Thankfully I think this works itself out over time :P

Three of them before we left.
