day 223: mon 8/13

afternoon snack

day 224: tues 8/14

swim day always make you tired & SILLY!  she thought it was hilarious that she put her backpack on her head with the strap under her chin.  :o)

day 225: wed 8/15


it's the middle of august, guess i better change the calendar!!!

it's nana & diddy night again!  reading a book to the girls after dinner, that nana is really SPECIAL!!!  :o)

sorry, forgot to turn on the flash.  this was my late night snack last night.  some cheeseburger stax with a woodchuck granny smith hard cider.  i think that angry orchard is my fave hard cider so far.  they are naturally gf so i can have them.  :o)

day 226: thurs 8/16

finished this right after midnight.  it's a newborn beanie with ear flaps & braided ties.  underneath the hat is a lovey.  i made them both out of bamboo spun, that stuff is awesomely soft!!!  best stuff to make hats & blankets out of!

baby car is almost drivable now.  her got a new set of eyes!  :o)  next week is license week!!!  YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

homemade beenie weenies or as hopp calls them binna winnas.  :o)  we had them for dinner last night at my MIL's & then i had the stuff to make my own for lunch today.  i used bush's baked beans (vegetarian style) & nathan's hotdogs.  it was soooo good.  super easy meal & the kiddos (and the mommas) love it!!!  nathan's are THE BEST HOT DOGS!!!  if you have not bought them because they are a little pricey you are missing out!  they are well worth the price.  :o)

look how pretty this sweet face is!!!

day 227: fri 8/17

silly faces of hopp!  she is such a nut.  this is just a few of the pics i took while trying to get 1 or 2 good smiling faces.  what a ham!

omg!  this one cracked me up!

day 228: sat 8/18


we had a garage sale for q's jump rope team.  they are the neon twisters & an actual usa jump rope team.  we are trying to raise all the money to send everyone to long beach cali!  how fun will that be & since she is so young, guess what that means!!!  i get to go! i get to go! i get to go!!!!  :o)  this pic is just a few of the items we were selling.



i tried luring the ladies on my fb page saying these items were begging for pinterest projects...  it didn't work because we still had them at the end of the garage sale.  i would have taken the lamp table thing home but i would have been sleeping outside!  jason specifically said not to bring any crap in the house.  ;)

well that's it for the week.  i hope you all had a great week & i will see you maybe tomorrow with a wip.  :o)  oh & btw!  they ended up making over $700 for their trip!!!!  isn't that awesome!!!

day 215: sun 8/5

was looking at the asian sauces & saw this one.  made me laugh, that's what the hubby calls me.  :o)

day 216: mon 8/6

all snuggled up with violet :)

day 217: tues 8/7

a different pic of the fo i showed last friday.  i wasn't for sure which one i wanted to use for the fo pic, this one didn't make the cut but i like the way it shows everything.

day 218: wed 8/8

my fun crochet item, once again.

look at that sweet face!  love her!!!

a proof of jess' real senior pics.  so grown up!!!  :o)

 

day 219: thurs 8/9

thought this was so cute, could probably recreate fairly easy.

day 220: fri 8/10

saw this the other day & it made me laugh.  i know some people that were much happier "shacked up" & were together longer that way.  they got married & then they got divorced.  not for sure what changed but i don't see anything wrong with shacking up.  just my personal opinion though. 

lil princess with her barbie hair.  :o)

day 221: sat 8/11

took this while all the girls were helping out with q's car wash fundraiser.  we even got hopp to participate.  she was a pretty good wheel/rim scrubber.  :)

after the fundraiser we went home & ate & got ready for q's first salon hair cut.  this is not her first hair cut but her first true salon cut.  she thought she was so big.  the lady did a great job & i think it's quite a bit shorter but what matters is that q is ok with it.  she says she can't tell a difference but i sure can.  we cut about 3-4" of dead hair off the bottom. :o)

well, i hope you all had a great week.  

fo friday :o)

ok, here they are!  i have 2 fos for you guys today.  a blanket i've put on hold way too many times is finally done & a super-dee-duper fun crochet request.  :)

here it is in all it's glory, well folded glory.  :]  it's a granny stripe blanket with the blue & grey colors for the detroit lions & i finished it off with a plain hdc border.  they love it!  it was a request from a friend of mine that is having her first grandbaby.  :)  it's going to be perfect when it gets cold. 

isn't this super cute?  what is it?...  my friend maria gets these for her kiddos & i mean they are giant!  her youngest couldn't finish it due to his hands freezing so i made him a popsicle holder.  see what i mean by a fun crochet?  :o)  this is one of my instagram photos.  if you would like to follow me my name is stephannis.  :o) 

i hope all of you have a fabulous friday & don't forget to check out tami's amis for other great finished objects.  :)

wow!  can you believe it's already August?!?  crazy!  well the summer is winding up for the girls & everyone is getting anxious to start school.  :o)  here's what last week was like, **shocker**, i have at least one pic for each day!!!

day 208: sun 7/29

we went swimming at one of our local pools & the girls had a blast!  they were hugging in the water in this pic.  they are so lovey-dovey, i love it!!!  :)

i love this pic of q in action jumping in the pool.  it looks like she is flying.  :o)

day 209: mon 7/30

a zombie family.  i love these car decals.  i think i may have jason interested in getting one.

day 210: tue 7/31

i received 2 free products in the mail to review with expo, i love free products.  this one is my hair dye.  i love, love, love, love the color!!!  if i can get a good pic i will change my profile.  if you want to join expo go here.  the only thing i really don't like is that i have to post a video & i'm so stiff!  anyone have any tips to loosen up on camera?

my lil pumpkin has been having breathing issues again due to stupid allergies.  luckily we haven't had to give many this week but last week we were doing 2 per day.  :o(  she is such a good girl though.  she even tells me she needs one.

day 210: wed 8/1


ready for the day!  look how cute they are all dressed up with their hair all purdy.  :o)




this is a house across the street from my MIL, it was needing a huge outside makeover & they finally did it.  they scraped off all the old paint & re-painted it white & the shutters got a hot pink do-over.  it's so cute!  i know, hot pink is usually not a house color but how can you not love this cuteness?!?  look how cute the house #s are.



almost done, worked on the border & it was my wip wednesday.  if i can't get my wip up on the blog you can usually catch it on my crochet fb page here.  come like my page & get all the updates, i'm trying hard to be more active on the page!

day 212: thurs 8/2

breakfast for dinner.  this was my hubby's pancake, gf pancakes with lil smokies!  he loves them in his pancakes, just need to figure out how to get it to not seem undone in the middle.  the juices from the sausages make it a little soggy.  maybe not so many at a time?

day 213: fri 8/3

this is my fo for friday.  it turned out so pretty.  it's a shell stitch blanket with a couple of rows of hdc border with a picot stitch to finish off the border.  i sent it off the other day, she is about to have her baby in a couple of days.  :o)

better pic of the border

my shells, color is a little dark...

that's right!  baby octopus "salad".  ummmm, no thanks!

day 214: sat 8/5

my lil chickens!  so beautiful!  we got to all hang out for a little bit on saturday morning.  i love my chicken time.  :o)

i hope you all have a great rest of the week & i hope i can get an fo up tomorrow.  i have a couple of fo's to share with you guys.  if not come check out my fb page.

day 207: sat 7/28

hopp posing with her sonic cup.  it looks huge but i swear it's just a medium! 

jess got ahold of my phone & took a self pic.  :o)

not for sure if you can see, but the girls were hanging out at the bottom of the slide, see the feet hanging over the side?  :o)  now if you look to the left, you will see hopp on the other side of the slide, she was pouting because of something silly.  not even for sure what.  she is such a drama queen!  :o)

well that's it for this last week!  have a great one.  i will try to post a wip tomorrow.

finally got a moment to get my pics off my old phone.  here we go...

day 159: sun 6/10

got my first manicure in for-ever!!!  i usually have a pedi about 3-4x per year but never a mani.  it was nice & much needed for my cuticles.  i love my mani/pedi girl waited forever on her & it was totally worth it, look at my cute nail art she put on my ring finger.  both of my ring fingers had the same thing.  the pink polish is from color club called all that razz but i was told that we are suppose to call it porno pink!  love it!!!

oh texas how hot must you really have to be???  i think my car was super hot because it actually only hit 107 but who cares after it hits the 100 mark, it's all hell hot after that.  :)

day 160: mon 6/11 no pic...



day 161: tues 6/12

a better representation of the yarn i'm working with, it's yarn bee's baby bee pomp in softly.  :o)

day 162: wed 6/13

pic of my two blankets i'm working on, the blue one is not that dark but you know how camera on your phone are...

q came home from summer rec with a busted ring finger...  she put her hand on the pool table & a ball smashed it.  luckily it was just badly bruised & nothing was broken.  as you can see on the left side of the pic it was swollen from the top side & on the right side is a pic of it from the under side.  that thing was black, blue & purple.  i've never seen anything like it!

day 163: thurs 6/14

we were suppose to go to the dr suess festivities all weekend but i got really sick with allergies gone bad.  this was what your lanyard could have looked like, minus some of the pins, each time you went to a dramatic reading you got a pin from the book that was read.  how cute is that?

day 164: fri 6/15  no pics was a sick girl!


day 165: sat 6/16

went to a different sonic than our usual one & it was horrible it was like beach sand!  that crap was everywhere!  they enjoyed time on the playground, hopp about to get on the stairs to go down one of the slides.  :o)

my sister was down this weekend & we took cousin p with us to play.  they had a great time!

hopp & i took a nap while q went with my sister & her family to my brother in laws family in town & went swimming.  after nap hopp & i went to the mall to do a little retail therapy & she was an angel!  so she got to ride bob the builder's tractor. 

at dinner time we went to taco bueno & had dinner with everyone.  my mom came with us too.  had a great weekend & it went by way too fast!  i wish my sister & i lived closer than 5hrs away from each other!
