No, I haven’t found my camera. I’ve borrowed my mom’s.

We went to the farm the other day to enjoy the pleasant weather we’ve been having. We captured some cute photos of the kids so I thought I’d share since it’s been so long.

Her smile says it all! She was in Pony Heaven when she had seen that there were pony ride. She ran over to me and said “Oh, mom, you just gotta let me ride the pony. You, just gotta! It’s only two dollars.” After seeing her excitement there was no way I could turn her down.

Isaac was much less interested in the pony’s and spent his time obsessing over the hundreds of tractors that were scattered around. Unfortunately they all had signs on them that said “Please do not climb on the equipment.” We all know Isaac could have spent hours sitting on a tractor so I had to spend some energy keeping him off of them. Here in this picture he wont look at the camera for a wagon ride shot… it’s all about the tractor that is pulling us. Vrooomm!

Here is one of my latest projects… probably a good explanation for why I haven’t been on the computer as much this week. One of my best girlie friends had a birthday and I wanted to make something special for her… this cute apron is the result. My momma helped me with it because I had never done lining and some of the complicated stitches it required. But it was super fun to make and I learned a lot. I got the pattern from More Retro Aprons by Cindy Taylor Oates. The fabric is by Moda.

Last of all, I just love this messy ice cream face. He has tears in his eyes because Chopper Dog was trying to steal his ice cream cone. Luckily mommy came to the rescue. Way to go Super MOM!

    So fun. Where did you go to ride the pony’s? Brielle would be all over that. Can I offer an official congrats on the expanding belly now?

    Love the cute Apron. I just bought that same pattern. I hope mine turns out as cute as yours. Looks like Emma is doing good. We would love for her to come play sometime.

    You keep wowing me with these new skill sets. She scales mountain faces and sews stylish aprons? Impressive.

    I also, as you know, am constantly impressed by the cuteness of your children. I love those little Chopper tears.

    Sweet kids, and you look good too, girl!! Cute hair and no visible signs of prego yet!

    I feel soooooooooooo lucky that I was the b-day girlie that got the apron. Super cute, I love it so much - Thanks. Right now it looks cuter hanging on my kitchen hook than over my big prego bells, but I can’t wait to bake something once it cools down.
