Baseball Sunday

Cade had a crazy-busy day Sunday, playing in 3 games! It was hot and he caught the first game and the last in Vero (the first two games were in Sebastian) and he got some good hits (two were caught, but the one in the video was good for a score!)

Hillsborough River Camping Trip

We had a ball...even though Cade and Scott had to miss much of the fun for fun of their own at a baseball tournament at home. It was a fantastic weekend hiking, canoeing, swimming, and chilling!!




















7 years old, too!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My sweet, creative little girl made me a present last week and has patiently waited until today to give it to me. I knew she was using tp tubes, but that was it! She made me a functional treasure chest that ties closed.

Time for Joy!

Joy had a great time painting this clock. She used painter's tape like a pro and then she put polka dots over the stripes. This was a good lesson in patience as she had to wait for paint to dry several times. She must make Gma Joan proud!

Wacky Wednesday

Every once in a while, at church, the girls have Wacky Wednesday. Joy pulled out all of her fabulous-dahling homemade scarves. She wore her leotard, gloves, sunglasses, one big Christmas earring, and two different shoes. We did an ultra-high ponytail by placing a cup in on her head hidden in the ponytail! And, unlike last time, she was not embarrassed at all to be seen in church outside of her class, I think she rah-ther enjoyed the attention!

Juliet's Birthday #4

I know, I didn't get many pics of the birthday girl, but I ran out of memory when we sang to her! She was stinkin' adorable, as usual.

Baby Mouse

Joy loved this little baby mouse at Life For Youth Camp. She said, if it were hers, she'd name it "Snowflake."

Fun with Braids

The Waterfall Braid:





The Fishtail Braid:


Tutorials should be pretty easy to find on YouTube etc, but I'll be happy to answer questions. I love having my own little live doll to dress up! :)

Cade's 1st TOC Game

Cade had a great game today. He caught the whole game. He had two terrific hits and one hit (by the ball on his leg). He already has a nice bruise to show for it! He also threw runners out at third and home. He had two RBIs (whatever that is).

Name Art

Joy wanted to try this symmetrical name art as seen on Arthur. Good job! (it says "Joy")

TOC's

Today Cade has his first game in the 9 year olds Tournament of Champions. Very exciting!

Music Folder for an American Girl Doll

So I was playing with Sure Cuts A Lot today and cut out this sweet little teabag holder. My daughter came in and realized it wad a perfect music folder for her dolls. She set to work and cut up a bit of scrapbook paper into music sheets. Perfect!

Bike Helmet Makeover

(I know it's on backwards in this pic!)


We were given this functional (but very plain) helmet that had red lettering on the side. I told Joy we could "cricut it up"! We covered the red lettering with pieces of white vinyl then cut flowers and leaves (Accent Essentials), jewels (Happily Ever After) and "Joy" (Winter Woodland). She stuck the pieces on and us so proud of it, I think I will have no trouble in getting her to wear it now!
