So here is the dress just about finished. I just need to do the hem but I think I will have to get some help for that. :)

Dress top

Here is the top of my dress for the wedding. This is the first time that I remember needing to do a top stitch. I'm tempted to rip it out and try again. Do you think I should? The sleeve on your left is the way the stitching is suppose to be on the trim. What do you all think? I thank you in advance for your honesty. :)


Double click on the picture to be able to see the big picture size and to see the stitching better.

River pictures

Ok Micah, these are the river pictures that I found today and liked. I listed them in order of best to lest best.

My Favorite!!! Isn't this the coolest?!?!

I love the snow on the rocks etc.

Beautiful!

Just a neat pic.

a neat picture of a river falls.

I like how this river is rough with rocks etc. Contrasting the other calm rivers.

a beautiful fall river picture.

Love the deep blue and green in this river pic.

This picture is so great! I love how they are all smiling and rowing and how the first on is just holding on for dear life! ha! Such a great pic. I want this to be my attitude in life, smile and hold on tight!

Ok, this one I like, but it could be left out.

I don't want to use this one, but thought you might like seeing it. Scary huh?

I think I would title it "Around the Rivers Bend" Anyway, let me know if you think you can work some of you magic with these pictures etc. Thanks man! Your the best!

I Love You Mom!

Little Note

Please don't give this blog address out. I think I will keep it for imidiate family use only. Here are some pictures that I got from Aunt Valerie. Please don't put any of these on ringo or myspace since they are not my pictures. Thanks! Hope you enjoy seeing them. :)

Aunt Val

Uncle David and Aunt Valerie took a trip to San Fransico (work related - concrete convention type thing) Here are a few pics from the trip. I guess Uncle D doesn't like to have his pic taken since he wasn't in any of them. :P

The Grand Canyon

They caught it during sunrise. Pretty huh?

One of their horses had a colt I believe. Here is Aunt Val with it.

Jami and Girls

Here's a picture of Jami in her kitchen.

Close up of Jami.

Jami's oldest, Addy. I think she is 3.

Jami's 2nd, Macy. She is 2 I think.

Macy.

Addy and Daddy- Buck.

Grandpa (Uncle David) and Macy.

Travis

This first picture is from Christmas I think. See the tree in the back?

Travis and Amber. Don't they look cute and happy?

Travis praying before going out to ride on a bull. Dustin is standing behind him.

Dustin

I really don't know what is going on in this picture. I'm guessing maybe something to do with Christmas morning since it was in the same batch of that time.

Can't go wrong with cowboy boots and PJ's. *grin*

3 yr olds1

3 yr olds!

I got to do a little Christmas shopping Tuesday!!! Got a few smaller things for Jacob. I think that does it for my Christmas shopping this year. *smile* Now onto the next project of sorting out those really neat black and white pictures of our kids. That one I can do at home though.

Jacob had ALL the kids yesterday and even did a full day of school with Elijah. He's getting pretty good. (Jacob that is.) Elijah is doing well in school, he did day 67 today out of 165 days. He is going to start reading groups tomorrow. That's going to be fun. He sounded out the word VET the other day. When asked what that ment he said "A really fast car!" lol That's a boy for ya! He knows a whole lot more about cars than I did for 20 yrs! For some reason he LOVES PT Crusiers (did I spell that right?)

Today we kinda started a new schedule. Jacob didn't feel all that great this morning so that slowed us down a half hour to 45 min. We are trying to get the kids up earlier to get Elijah's school started earlier, which means he would be done earlier etc. We never did a schedule before because Jacob's job is sooo sparatic I never knew what we would be doing. But now with school started, I think it will make things easier. As long as Jacob is home, he will help with the first few classes (making sure Elijah is paying attention to the teacher and not his siblings etc) .

Does anybody have a 3 yr old that likes to hide her food under her booster seat? Alana started doing that and it is driving me crazy. Elijah NEVER did that. Well, she has gotten in trouble for it a few times so she decided to try something new - hiding her foor BEHIND her booster seat. *sigh* She's already tired putting her food on her brother's plates and putting her food in her Dad's cup, what else is left? *shaking head* 3 yrs olds!

For those of you who know my brother Micah, he is blogging again!!! Yeah!!!! I have a link to his blog. Just click on it and you will be brought there. He also has a really neat looking Christmas background. For those of you who would like to see some other neat Christmas backgrounds, Becki, Sis. Nowling and Jenna (all made by Jenna) have ones you'll want to see. Micah made his and Sis. Suttons. Sis. Sutton is unique, she has some little Eskimos on hers. :)

This is a test post

I'm just writine this so I can see that the text will look like. I'll put up a picture too! Hold on one sec......




Ok, that should do it for this post. :)
