Christmas time is here....

Well, it's official!! The Christmas tree is up, we've watched the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, and I went to see the Rockette's in the Radio City Christmas Special!!

Christmas Time is HERE!

Santa even came to visit us a little early. I think he probably had to lighten his load a little bit before the big night... ;o)

Thanks Dad and Denise for telling Santa (wink wink) to deliver our gifts a little early! We LOVE them!

What's going on?

The answer to that would be a lot!! I have been sewing, caring for the kiddos, gearing up for the upcoming holidays, lovin on my husband and just stayin busy in general!!


I've been having fun doing it too!!


I also realized I didn't post pics of James first day of school, so here they are!

James on his first day of school

I'm not sure what Samantha's doing here, but she was just as excited as he was!


I like this one!
After dropping off James, Samantha and I went to Chick-Fil-A for a special mommy/daughter breakfast. P.s. Neither James nor I cried at first day drop off!!

Button for my store

All things Etsy ~ Grand Opening of my Store!

Hi all! I just wanted to let you all know that I have opened an Etsy store! Etsy.com is a place where you can find all things handmade. It allows crafters to come together and sell their items all from the same place! Do you remember those cute crochet clips I got for Samantha? They were from an Etsy store called Briar.Claire.

Well, as I said I have now opened my own Etsy store! Here it is!

SweetSamantha.etsy.com

I only have a couple of items on there right now, and I'm slowly adding things day by day. I also have a custom request listing on the site in case you are looking for something specific! Below are a couple of pictures of what you'll find there!

Samantha's 2nd Birthday

I know this is a little late, but I figured better late than never, right? Hope you enjoy!

James Bowling

Just a side note...I didn't teach him any of this...he just picked up the ball and started bowling!




Ps....I have no idea why the video won't fill the whole screen!

Fun in the Sprinkler

It doesn't take much to make kids happy...just a warm day and a sprinkler!

Looking at the next few pictures, you can really see a story unfolding....

Samantha: How do I get water into this thing?

Samantha: Hmmmm, maybe James will help me...

James: I can't get it....here you hold it and I'll put the water in it.

(You can guess how this ended!)
