These boots were made for walking...

I found these boots at a consignment sale in Riverside, and Lizzie loves them. Parker wears his cowboy boots everywhere, and Lizzie wants to be just like Parker! She even tries to wear them to bed.

and of course a cute picture of Krislynn doing what she does best... crawl! She loves to pull herself up and hold on... she has had some major wipe outs!

Krislynn and 1st foods

Krislynn is loving baby food as you can tell! She wants a Double Double from In n Out, but we are holding out till she gets some teeth!!!

MUTE THE MUSIC ON MY BLOG!!!! YOU HAVE TO HEAR LIZZIE!!!

My daughter LOVES Dora... I think they whoever created Dora saw in the future what Lizzie would look like, and then made a clone of her. We had a Dora Birthday Party for Lizzie, and Holly was nice enough to let us borrow all her decorations (I still need to get those back to you) Well Lizzie loved every second of her party... Well Holly's daughter had this amazing Dora house, swimming pool, mini van, and all the accessories for it, and gave it to Lizzie for her Birthday. Well I kept it till Christmas and that was her BIG Christmas Gift. If you can't tell by the video Lizzie LOVES IT!!! Holly I owe you big... you made Lizzie's year!!! I just love Lizzie's dance every time the Mini-van comes out this is exactly what she does... Classic Lizzie!

Cute Gifts-Kitchen Towel & Soap

Before Christmas I was doing what I do best... blog surf and I came across this super cute and inexpensive idea for gifts from Homemade by Jill... let's not get me started on my sewing machine, and how it happened to break right before Christmas, and how all my sewing projects got thrown out the window. Well thanks to a great friend named Charlotte who let me borrow her machine. My projects are starting to come to life. If you want the tutorial check out my link!

Mutual Theme 2010 Blocks

For New Beginnings this year. We wanted to make something for the girls to be able to take home, and help them focus on the theme for the year. I think they turned out pretty cute!Thanks Angie and Andrea for saving the day and helping me finish ALL the blocks. You are the greatest!!!

Nativity 2009

I know you have been waiting each day for me to post this... Sorry!!! I realized after I finished it I put it away in my Christmas box with all my other decorations. I first saw this on SugarDoodle, and feel in love, but I knew David didn't have the right tools to make it for me. Well I went back a couple weeks later, and the lady who posted it on Sugar Doodle said she would cut and ship the wood to you for dirt cheap. So here is another fun projects I have been busily doing to keep myself sane...

Krislynn is Crawling
