Snow Fun and Other Miscellaneous Things

My mom is in town (in time for the big storm) so Brian and I left her at home and took Konrad sledding. We found a sweet hill not too far from home. Heavens knows there is plenty of snow. Every time we play in the snow, Rad calls it "ice house" because he and daddy were building an igloo so now snow is the same as the ice house. Okay, Brian and I had some fun too. We did find out that the innertube is way superior to the sled we bought. Lessons learned, lessons learned.

We also got some cute pix of sweet little Rodney in his monkey suit.

Check!

I made this little ditty in 1.5 hours during naptime on Tuesday. It is for my neighbor/friend/soon-to-be cousin-in-law, Kayla (thanks to Uncle Claude;). I should say that I finished everything but attaching the button because I ran out of thread. I had JUST enough thread to finish hand-sewing the top. I hate that. I hope it never happens again.

As you may remember, dear readers, that I made a scripture case for my own self a few months back. Well, it was kind of awesome and I had a few request(icles) to make some more. Only this time, I had a better plan. I just changed a few things, like made it bigger to hold various church manuals, iPhones, candy, chapstick, you know, the essentials.

The fabric we got at Joann in the clearance section. I think we spent more on the button than we did on the fabric. The fabric cost like $.75. Can't beat that! What makes this a real beaut is the lining. The button was like $3. Whatever, it is pretty sweet. Plus, I am checking off #8. Go me!!!

Also, a big thanks to Konrad, my lovely model who is not wearing pants in that pic. But really, who needs pants when you are wearing Lightening McQueen?

5 Months Old

I did a photoshoot for Rodney Jones' 5 month birthday. He is growing up so fast. He weighs 15 lbs 9 oz and is 27 inches tall. The Dr said he is tall and skinny. Wonder who he gets that from? Anyhowzit, he is such a sweet little baby. He laughs at everything, especially at Konrad. He likes being thrown in the air (and caught, of course). He is not crazy about rice cereal, and really, who is? He sleeps awesome and has the sweetest smile. Rodney can sit up for about 30 seconds before falling on his face, and he especially likes sitting in his little Elmo exersaucer. Last week he found his feet and thinks they are the most awesome things EVER. Who needs toys when you have feet to play with? He is my little angel!

Meet My Little Friend.

We have a little friend that graces us with its presence in the shower at all times of the day, both morning and night. It always makes me chuckle a tiny.

When we moved into our apartment, we found this rust stain that Fred couldn't get out. It has caused many conversations as to whose ghost this rust stain is. Konrad always calls him "Daddy". I don't exactly know about that, but my mom says he is Mussolini. Perhaps. I like to think that if it really is someone gracing us with their presence from the grave that it would not be a cruel dictator, you know?

My sister, Julie, on the other hand believes that our little friend is Baby Cakes (I am the World... and a wizard). I can kinda see that one.

I happen to think he's a dead ringer for Alfred Hitchcock.You decide.
