Craving Color-Confetti Birthday Banner

Hey, so remember when I made this?

Confetti Garland

My hand is cramping up in terror with the memory of cutting out all those circles. Ha!

Kristen of Craving Color made one for her nephews birthday,

 but she made the circles bigger and turned it into a Happy Birthday Banner!

She did such a great job on it and I love that she can make separate bottom banners with other names to change it up for different birthdays.

Go here to see how she made it.

Beanie Baby Birthday Bash

 Brooklyn came home from school on Monday and told me that her beanie baby Herald, who she adopted for a class project, had a birthday coming up on January 7th.

We decided to have a little birthday party for her(Brooklyn decided that Herald was a her). When she checked the birth dates of her other two beanies she saw that they both had birthdays in December, so we made it a triple birthday party!

Meet the Birthday Beanies: SnoCap, Scoops and Herald.

I made a birthday garland for the beanies' party.

I call it the Confetti Garland and it will be making appearances at all our family parties from now on.

Here is Brooklyn with the birthday beanies and their friends from Toy Story.

It was quite a crowd!

Yep. We lit the candles...and sang.

Brooklyn helped them blow out the candles.

She was the happiest girl in the world that night.

She kept saying how it was the "Best day EVER!"

Oh, the things we do for our children;)

{Almost} Wordless Wednesday: Yay Cake!

Travis on his 1st birthday.

Yes, we did "paint" his face with frosting.

He loves me.

My birthday was last Wednesday(Sept 1st)...I turned 31.

Jon had asked my what I wanted for my birthday and I told him Gilmore Girls, thinking he would get me a season or two. 

Yesterday this arrived in the mail:

I don't know if you can read the tiny writing at the top of the picture so I will tell you what it says:

 "The Complete Series"!!!

Yep, that's right! He bought me the whole series!

He loves me.

This show drives him nuts and he bought me the whole season...to watch whenever I want.

He really loves me!  ;)

Seasons 1-7 Uh-huh!

It came with an episode guide and

a complete guide to Gilmore-isms.

Bliss!

I am seeing long nights of watching Gilmore Girls with a ho-cho (for those of you not in the know that's a hot chocolate) while sewing in the very near future.

Happy Birthday Jersey!

My dog Jersey is four years old today.....how time flies! I had to take her to a shot clinic today to get all her vaccinations and a rabies shot...I felt so bad to have to do it on her birthday. I bought her a big juicy bone after, so hopefully she will forgive me and still get excited next time I take her "Bye-bye".

She is an American Pit Bull Terrier and is such a sweetheart. She has changed so many peoples opinions on this breed because of what a great dog she is. We have several friends who also have pit bulls and they are all so loving and happy. It just breaks my heart to see this wonderful breed so mistreated and misjudged.

Here are some pictures of my second child:
