Syd and Balen


Balen came up for a visit a couple of weeks ago. I loved this photo as soon as I downloaded it. How cute, just is not something you would of seen when I was little. Oh my how everything has changed. Syd knows how to work a laptop perfect. She knows exactly how to click and where at. Don't they look like they are amazed?

Random Stuff Check it Out!!!

Mom and I have been working on new designs for Spring. Both of us can't wait we have had so much bad weather. Strange because we never prepare for a winter meaning buying snow boots or a sled. If we do we waste our money because we never do use them. This would of been a good year for that. My children went out in the snow several times. Mom has made several outfits check out my space I have several items posted. Click on photos to see what's for sale.
Mom and I celebrated out birthday on Feb. 24. Yes I was born on her birthday. Why do you think we are so much alike. Ha! Syd is also taking on a personality just like us. I love it.
These were so much fun to make. Something different from hair bows. These are $15.00. I love them. They are so cute. I attached the bows to the flip flop with a secret method. If you buy the flip flops you will see. So simple. The bows can be changed. I can make these for any school. I think they would be adorable with school shirts and shorts. I can also add photos on the bottle caps. I believe I will make Syd some one with Tanner and one with Zack. Can't wait. I need to get busy. Although I love the computer and stay on here to long. Can't work why looking at a computer screen.
My birthday was Feb 24, Jon came home from work. I was in Syd's room working on her clothes. He ordered me to the end of the house. He then went to the kitchen and got all the children to work on a card. How sweet was that? He even went and bought all the supplies. The poster board and the bows you see on the front of the card. Next, he had each kids write on the front Tanner wrote Happy, Zack wrote Birthday, and Syd wrote MOM. Jon wrote inside the card and then the kids signed there names. He even thought about writing with different colors. I was impressed. Maybe he will be a crafter someday.
Love my family, Thank you Jesus for my blessings.
This photo is about me getting ready to open up a shop in my house. I had to clean out my book shelves. These are Syd's books, which were Tanners and then Zack's and now Syd's. I never get rid of any thing that I think someday I can use. I am a pack rat. I had Tanner, Zack and Syd pack books. Syd took her books to the living room to store in the TV cabinet. She started stacking them. Now this is the good part she is so just like me. She was saying she was "organisizing" them. Instead of organizing. To funny.
Now Tanner and Zack is ready to get in on the fun.
Syd working so hard look at that face.
Dad's are just as good as mom's. Jon took that kids outside and build a snowman. I ran outside to take a photo. I am not an outside person never have. Although I have been getting outside with Syd but only when it is warm. Bad mommy!!! Jon said to me when I went outside can't we do anything with out a picture. Loved it. A girl has to have photos.
Look at my angel.
This is a new outfit. Love this. The skirt has a zebra ruffle attached with a matching shirt which is personalized with Syd's name. You can special order this outfit for $20.00 a free matching hair bow. Email me those orders.

My new niece Kaleigh Callahan

Jon's sister Sandy and her husband Brent have been waiting to adopt their baby girl for 3 years. It takes a long time for the adoption process. They left out and went to China on Feb. 18 and yesterday they received their precious daughter. You can check out her blog to learn all about the journey of adoption. Check out my new baby. I have always said and mean it with all my heart. My nieces and nephews are mine. I want to be called mommy Teresa.

On another note. I have been busying working. I am so excited I spent three hours in Syd's room going through and organizing clothes. Syd says "organisizing" I love it. She says it all the time. I am also in the beginning stage of opening a small part of my house into a store. I have so many customers that say how can I see your stuff. Well now just come to my house for a visit. I can't wait. I will post photos when I am finished. If any one is interested in buying any of Syd's clothes I will price them and put in a storage bin you can come by and look at them or take them with you. It is the easiest way for a yard sale. The following is Sandy's link Callahan http://ourjourneytokaleigh.blogspot.com/

God bless and Thank you Jesus for Kaleigh,
Teresa

Syd Washing Dishes




Every time Syd finds Jon or I in the kitchen. She is running for a chair or step stool wanting to help out. Here I let her wash some dishes in the sink.

Happy 3rd Birthday Chloe

Balen loved the water. He didn't fear the water he went all over the pool
Chloe also loved the pool
Syd wanted to stay on the steps. She still had fun. She would come over to me but I moved a chair right next to the steps. She would say one more time. So sweet.

Valentine's Party at Tab's House


Last year we had girls night out with our daughters. Each month or twice a month we would all load up in Tab's vehicle and take a trip around Hazard. We went to JC Penny's and all the girls bought the same shirt, we went to Pizza Hut at Airport Gardens in the back party room, we went to Walmart and let the girls sit in the floor and look at magazines, then go play with the toys, we had a Valentines Party, pool party at Tab's, movies. We had so much fun. Then basketball season began and girls night out went out the door. Hey Tab we need to start that back up. We did have fun. Mattie is always asking me with her friends at school when are we having a girls night out. They love it and I love spending time having fun with them. Syd also loves it even though she is so much younger than them. Tab and Mattie planned a Valentines party for Mattie's friends and invited us. We had an awesome time. We played games one was called hot heart. It was like hot potato they passed around a heart candy and when the music stopped who had the heart was out. The also guessed the number of Hersey's kisses in a jar. Then they put a heart inside a heart who got the closest one won. We also had great food. Tab is always the best at cooking. She had several finger foods. The kids loved it they actually ate.

A Busy Day!!!!!

Syd and Balen watching the game
I believe Syd thought the game was a loud
This was a fundraiser for March of Dimes. Each school sold these paper rings for twenty five cents each and after they displayed them at the ballgame they put them in a big pile. Syd saw someone playing in them so then she stayed there for most of the game.
Syd and Haley Patterson
This outfit is so precious. We sell them for $35.00. Just let me know what colors you want.
During the pep rally there was a spirit line. The students held balloons and in each one was confetti. This is the mess. Syd played in the mess.
Syd always get in my treasure chest when she visits my classroom.
This is a special friend Renetta. Renetta taught Syd a cheer. You stink.
She was so cute saying the cheer.
Derek dancing during the 100th day of school
Chloe and Syd eating cupcakes
Brayden in my classroom eating
My nephew Dalton dancing with Mrs. Linda
Zack and his friends watching from the bleachers
Today at school we celebrated Valentines, 100th Day, and a pep rally for tonight's ballgame. How busy!!!! All the kids at school had a great time. Brandie came up and brought her children for a visit and I went and picked up Syd from Monek's to bring her to school. All the students enjoyed the day.

Perry County Basketball Runner-Up

Hey look front and center that's my Zack-Man
Zack getting a trophy
They introduced the players before the game.
Syd's cheerleading jacket. I sell these for $30.00. We personalized them for your school.

Zack's 5th/6th grade basketball team won runner up tonight in the county tournament. I hate that I wanted 1st place. The other team had better more experience players.

Jon and Syd Cooking


Syd loves to help out in the kitchen. It doesn't matter if it is washing dishes, putting groceries away, or cooking. Each time she catches someone cooking she runs and gets a chair or step stool to help.
