Spencer's Home!

Spencer is Home again. We haven't seen him since Christmas, so we're very happy to have him! He is still sweet as ever. Yesterday we all went to the beach. Me, Grant and all our boys. It was so much fun. (of course, I forgot the camera) The water was a little rough and full of jellyfish! But there was a great breeze thanks to Hurricane Dolly in the Gulf! Then we ate dinner at LuLu's, shopped a little at the outlet mall, and then went to visit Nana in Fairhope on the way home. It's such a blessing to be with all my boys together!

I haven't done a lot of sewing this summer, but thought I would post a few things that I did make. I made these outfits for my cousin Amanda's children. Erik, Jillianna and Henry! They wore these on the 4th of July!









This is Piper again! I made this outfit for her 2nd Birthday! It's a double layer dress with ruffles on each layer. She can wear it in the fall with a long sleeve blouse under it. The pants are the pleated Gauchos. They have a pleat on the bottom with striped fabric. It was so hard to get pictures of this busy girl, I hope you can see what it is. This is my favorite fabric! I had so much fun making this!

Mason's Birthday

Today Mason turned 6 years old! It's hard to believe! We had so much fun! Miss Daisy the clown came and made balloon animals and painted everyones faces! She also gave him his "Birthday Spankings" which were actually Tickling! I made the cake. This is a picture of cake #1. I realized this at 10:00 last night. I went to give it a second coat of frosting and I almost cried. That's what I get for trying to use a Martha Stewart recipe. It was too moist! The box cake worked great. Mason could hardly be still for pictures. He was so excited.








This is a "Birthday Banner" I made. But of course it wasn't ready in time for the party! I finished it tonight. I had one letter left and friends started showing up. Oh well. We have it now. Grant tried to tell me this morning that I'm crazy. I love to pack as much as I can in one day! It was busy but I had such a wonderful day! I love giving my boys birthday parties. They appreciate it so much. They're growing too fast! I feel like I just had Mason. I almost cried this morning when he got up all sleepy eyed and said, "Mommy it's my Birthday and I'm 6!" It really hit me. I need to enjoy these days because they fly by.

Happy Birthday to my Sugar Bear!
