Happy Birthday, Tall Guy

Walker woke up on his birthday with the quilt on his bed but because we headed out so early to Ondessonk, I didn’t get to take his annual picture until today.  You can see how happy he is to model his new phone. At thirteen, I am looking up to my son who is now […]

Way Back in the Woods

Welcome to Walker’s Birthday weekend!  In lieu of a party, Walker opted to have dinner out with friends and go camping at his happy place.  We made the reservation last month and booked Walker’s favorite unit—Raganeau.  When we arrived, we saw our names on list for the weekend lodging on the camp chalkboard. We arrived […]

Cheers!

The birthday celebrations started last night with a special dinner with friends.  Walker has been asking to try the hibachi at a local restaurant and this was his choice for dinner out with friends.  Off we went with Davis, Andre, Noah and Mason to make seven in our party.  After dinner Walker treated everyone at […]

Sweet Sewing

After my niece, Camille saw the aprons I made for the swap and the one I sent to her mom, she voiced that she wanted one too.  What a treat to make something for her!  She and her mom went shopping for the accent fabric and sent it to me.  These aprons are made from […]

Double Digits!

Mason turned ten today! He woke up with the birthday quilt on his bed and had his breakfast in bed. All four of us snuggled in his room while he opened presents. I had to get creative and pull out some fabric to wrap the extra long box the hockey stick came in. He also […]

Stretching Out the Birthday Blessings

Yesterday was my 45th birthday.  Because my it fell on a Friday and because we were wrapped up with day camp, and because my family is so thoughtful, they stretched my celebration out over several days.  It started on Thursday night with dinner at Red Robin so I could claim my birthday burger. Friday morning […]

Happy Birthday, Bill!

We couldn’t have been happier to celebrate Bill! He woke up with the birthday quilt and went off to work.  Kim joined us for family dinner and we celebrated with a little fruit cake.  Happy birthday to our pal!

Welcome, Peeps!

When I spied a Peeps wreath on the internet, I knew just the one who would appreciate it.  My BFF Michelle loves Peeps and she happens to be celebrating a birthday this week.  I was so excited to make this for her.  I used this tutorial and a 14 inch straw wreath form.  I needed […]

A Full Dozen

Walker is now a dozen years old! He woke up to a yummy breakfast and then got ready for school. Special guests joined him for lunch at school and I happily received a big hug from my birthday boy. Tonight Walker headed off to a special scout weekend with Bill so we will have his […]

Happy Birthday, Bill

When the love of your life loves fruit, a fruit cake makes for a perfect his birthday treat.  I totally spaced on the candles so we improvised.  Can you guess how old he is even though he doesn’t look a day over 21? I love how Bill looks at the kids.  Books, bikes and birds […]
