Introducing Sammie

This is Halloween weekend, the weekend I got Sammie! He took right to Uncle Scottie and loves being up on your shoulder.
Just a view to show how adorably small he is.
He was only 2 pounds in this pic.

He looks sad but he wasn't feeling well.

Luckily we have a good vet and she made my baby better.

This is a coat I bought him for Utah.

However, Vegas had some very cold and windy days

so he got to use his coat early. He had to get used to it,

especially the hood. I usually let him go without, he isn't a fan.

The coat was helpful, he didn't look like he was

going to fly away in the wind.

After we go outside, when he is finished with his duty,

he comes and jumps on my leg to let me know he is ready!

A few new projects...

My fab friend, Heather, whom I used to babysit now has the cutest one year old ever!!! I noticed she had the cutest headbands in her adorable pics on facebook. I contacted Heather and she told me she got hers from a cute store in Crestview and that she would be happy to get me some. This first pic is of the headbands she sent me- most of the flowers can be clipped on and removed from the band- endless possibilities! Well, my creative mother looked at them and thought we could easily make some. So, off we went to the store!

Here are a few of the ones we came up with!

A few more.... I can't make up my mind so I bought all kinds of colors and lots of fun buttons and used a few beads from another recent project. I think they are super cute and I think they turned out well. What do you think?

This is a baby blanket mom and I made for my friends baby shower. Hope she enjoys!

While in Idaho, Brittany was making watch bands. I asked the lady at the bead store about making just bracelets. She told me what I needed to do and it seemed simple enough. Here are my new fun bracelets! Thanks for the inspiration, Brittany!!!

Also, while in Idaho I went to a favorite craft store of mine. I have always liked the vinyl letters and the tiles but I had yet to attempt one. So, I bought the vinyl I liked and waited to get the tile in Vegas. Today I decided to make it. I'm happy with the results on this as well. I really like the cream and black vinyl on this tile. Enjoying part of my summer spending time on things I have always loved creating as well as learning new ones =)

Meeting Tyler

His momma is making him smile =)

Now he is making me smile!

Just a few of Tyler's many faces!

I love his big eyes!

Aunt Annie with Tyler

I kissed both his cheeks!

Beach

I think this little guy is going to grow up loving the beach!

Once again my hair disappears when the sun hits it just right.

What a cute family =)

Ry posing again!

Anyone spot Elvis on the beach?

Uncle Scott & Aunt Kelli

Uncle Scott sure loved playing with Tyler!
Whoa- that lower lip is coming out.

"Money hold"

Aunt Kelli working her magic.

Look how comfy Tyler is with her!

Notice Anything?

Guitar Hero

Check out the collar!

Oh so serious

I'm telling you- moms are tough!

Usually one handed and certainly

multi-taskers!

Who do you think won?

Before

Jessica asked if we had a camera. Since I was traveling, it was in my purse. Kelli took the first picture and Jessica was like- don't smile.


This is me trying to be serious after being told not to smile=) Not an easy task for me.


One side was okay but one side was so choppy and
I had a visible ''hole'' where hair was missing.
When Jessica saw this, she actually teared up.
She said it would be difficult to get it to blend
but she was up to the challenge.

After

Jessica was amazing! She took her time, explained

everything. Kept Kelli and I laughing.

She loves her job and it's obvious!

Outing in Santa Maria

I say it's an outing in Santa Maria but Scott and Kelli

always tell us you have to drive a little to do anything.

This wasn't any different. We drove 30 miles or so

away to have dinner together at Chilis.
Tyler chilled most of the time in his car seat.
I think he was sleeping. Once the food came, he
wanted out. Britt is so talented when it comes
to doing most tasks one handed.

Is it me or does Ryan love the camera?

We had a blast spending a few days together!

Thanks Scott and Kelli for letting us crash!
