Our little Cinderella working on our yard. If she wants more dresses she has to pull her own weight. 😉 She doesn’t mind, as you can see.
Since Kailan hasn’t been acting up and getting all attitudey on us, he has been getting clothes sewn for him. Anya needs to earn more dresses, even though mommy really wants to make more. These shirts are the same pattern […]
Ah, the end of another weekend that went by way too fast. The rundown: ** Saturday was the last day of rookie camp, and Kai was very happy to receive his super duper medal that they gave to all the […]

Well, it’s actually supposed to rain this weekend…shocker! It’s been pretty dry here lately, which is hard on our little plants. Especially since two of our outdoor faucets broke during the winter. Brian finally got them fixed this week, so […]
