Brief Aimee Update


I texted (is that a word) Aimee today. She was carving pumpkins with P and Aaron.

They found out they are having a boy!!!!

She is 22 weeks ago.

She is feeling soooo much better.

P is getting into EVERYTHING!!

He is having a tough time sleeping lately.

Aimee is still working a few days a week.

And that's all I know. I'll keep you posted!!

Oh no names yet!

Pictures

So I said that I would put the pictures on. So here they are.
I tried to use a different patern for each color. I found the multi color fabric first and used it to match the other colors. I am very excited. It turned out better than I thought it would. It is my first attemt at quilting. I know it isn't a hard patern. But it was fun. For the quilting, I first went along the squares, then I went diagonally through the squares. There are big X's using four squares. It turned out pretty good. My lines weren't as straight as I would have liked. But like I said, it was my first attemt. I am sure I will get better.

Finished!!!!

Today I finally finished my quilt. I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet, but I wanted to let you know that I am finally done. It took forever for me to get the binding stiched on. My hand has started to go numb when I am doing projects, so I can't do much at a time.

I will post pictures soon.

Complete!!!

I am so excited. I have finished the baby afghan that I have been working on. My goal was to finish both the quilt and afghan by my birthday. I was able to actually finish one by my birthday. I am so excited, it turned out so cute. I have even taken some pictures of it.Just in case you can't tale, the colors are purple, green, and pink. They all have the little strip of silver in the yarn. So it is kind of shimmery. Have I mentioned that it is way cute. I am so excited. I love finishing them. This is like my 9 one or something, and every time I get so excited to see the finished product. Though I do usually use different colors, so they are all different.

I am almost done with the quilt, I just need to finish the quilting and then put the edging on it. I hope to finish it in the next few weeks, but I can only work on it when Josh is sleeping and he hasn't been doing very well with his naps lately so, hopefully soon.This is a picture of the top of the quilt. This is before I sewed them together. I took it to send to my mom and get her opinion of the placement of the different squares. When I am all done, I will get some more close up pictures of each square so that you can see them better. But it give you an idea of what I am working on.

As for a new question, What is your all time favorite meal to eat? I mean full meal. And no you don't have to cook it or buy it, it will just appear.

The Saddest Song I Have EVER heard

The first time I heard this song, I had to pull over on the side of the road and bawl my eyes out.
This video would done by this guy's wife!!

What a strong woman!

I'm so very grateful that my husband is willing to serve for his country, wife, family and friends.

I pray that I NEVER have to go through this. These women are stronger than I am.

This is the kind of song that makes you think "What if.."

You really can blame me for crying to this one. YOU stinkin' know I DID!!

Song

So it's not often that I hear a song and immediately have to share it but... I just heard this song and knew that I had to share it with you guys because it has to do with the importance of being a woman and a mom at the same time. So I heard it and thought of you both because of what great moms you are.

The artist is Clint Black and the song title is The Strong One

No blaming me if you cry! :o)

I made mom cry when she listened to it

Love ya!

Hi!

Hi guys! Sorry that it has been so long. I started back to school and have been trying to be really good about getting my homework done early. In theory it was supposed to work perfectly, but in reality I'm still a procrastinator! Thankfully this is my last class and then I will officially be done and have a BA. Thank goodness!!! My class is called Crime in America and it is online which is both good and bad. I like it because I can do my homework in my pj's. The bad part is that I keep putting off assignments... like now. :o) The class is okay, it is just a lot of independent research and paper writing. The assignment I'm working on now is three pages long so far and I'm only a quarter of the way done. Yikes. Okay, I need to get back to the paper so this will be a short post since you guys aren't here to help me with my homework.

Oh... I almost forgot my question!!! Since we were going with a school theme this round I'll complete with:

What do you think is the funniest prank we ever pulled in school?

Krista, remember when you spit in Mr. Guards coffee cup when he left the room and then he came back in and finished drinking it!

Aimee Update

Aimee Update~

I texted her today.

*She is at the "I just wanna sleep 24 hours a day" stage.

*She is 16 weeks.

*She had an ultrasound a few weeks ago to see if things were good.

*The tech said they are leaning towards a boy but it's too soon to tell.

*She has an ultrasound in 5 weeks for the actual sex of the baby.

*Payton has started a new habit...biting people. She doesn't know how to stop it.


So there you have it!

Now on to a new question... What was your favorite slumber party we had?
