Tara's "BLUE" Photo
I loved the blue bow on my daughters tutu, so I just had to share this in our Blue theme. My mom found these cute tutu's at Costco recently and knew my girls would love them. They each got a different color.

What's your guess?

Well, I've made it to 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant.
I've only got 18 days to go.
I really thought I was going to have this baby yesterday...
but that did not happen.

So, here are some recent photos of the baby belly for you!

The top view makes it look much bigger don't you think?

I've been busy crafting, sewing and cleaning.
The nesting bug has hit me hard...and my home thanks me!
Although my house is far from clean many things that
haven't been cleaned in a while are now clean.

I love to make things for my kids.
So I thought it would be great to make some shirts for them to wear.
I'm almost done with them
(still have to do a little sewing on the boys shirts)
and plan to have them done before the baby comes.
Here they are.
I used a little steam-a-seam 2
which is a double sided fusible interfacing.
That stuff is amazing!!!!
Once ironed on it's permanent, but I chose to sew the letters down too,
to add a little more character and stability.

So, here's my question...
will we need THIS combination of shirts...

or THIS combination of shirts?

Let's have a little contest!!! Shall we???
Leave a comment with your guess as to the gender of the baby
and when the baby will make its appearance.

I obviously have two kids already, a girl and a boy.
They were both born a week before their due date.
My actual due date for this baby is October 13th.
I do not know the gender of the baby.

Whoever guesses the closest to the actual birthday
and time of day (approximate) and gender
will get a small prize from me!
And when I say small I mean it, I have something fun,
but it's nothing huge or elaborate...
I will have just had a baby so you gotta cut me some slack!

Oh and whichever onesie we don't end up needing will be in my etsy store later!
Check out my blog for some photos from our maternity session!!
Guess away!!!

Tara's "CAKES" Photo
I took this photo at my sons 10th birthday. It's hard to believe it's almost his 11th. How time flies. We had his party at a jump house place. It was a huge hit and they of course want to go back this year. As you can see this cake was basketball themed and no I did not make this. Wonderful Raley's pulled this together for me. This year I think I will tackle a cake for him. Going for a military theme. We are going to set up obstacle courses outside. It will be awesome. If you have any ideas for obstacles, please send them my way!

Jamie's "CAKES" Photo
I know this technically is not a photo of cake,
but this kid is too cute to pass up.
If you'd like to see the cake before he devoured it you can see it here.
