Hope I don't kill them...

No, I'm not talking about the boys.  :P
I'm talking about the plants in my little "garden."
My parents gave me some herb seeds and Chris and I picked out a tomato plant and a jalapeno plant.  So far they are doing well.  I just haven't had the greenest thumb in the past... mostly I just end up killing them.  So, I say again... I hope I don't kill them.

Big Boy Beds!

On Memorial Day we went to American Furniture Warehouse and picked out a twin bed for Shaden.  It was delivered today!  Shaden getting a Big, big boy bed means Jayce can now have the toddler (big boy) bed.

Jayce loved climbing in and out of his new bed, but wasn't quite sure about sleeping in it... He kept saying "no" every time I said "laid down in your new bed."  Thanks to not napping he did end up laying down and going to sleep.
Shaden thinks it was so cool that "Guys" came and brought his bed.  He is also excited that it has drawers.

The toddler bed all made up for Jayce.

His favorite stuffed animal at the moment... Stitch.

New sheets for the twin bed... Cool Cars.

Couldn't find any yellow sheets that we liked.

Another I-spy Swap

Hey!  I just thought I would help spread the word...
Crystal over at Hendrixville.blogspot.com is doing a swap.  If anyone is interested in joining just jump on over to her blog and sign up.

I have loved the swaps I've been in.  I have gotten so many cute squares!  I can't wait to see what new ones  people will pick!

Learning to Quilt

I ended up participating in 3 i-spy square swaps.  I now have 400 4"x 4" squares and 120 5"x5" squares.  So many CUTE fabrics!
Of course I couldn't learn to quilt by making a small quilt (that would have been the smart thing to do), I had to decide to make a twin comforter size quilt.  We will be getting Shaden a twin bed soon and I wanted him to have a quilt for it.
Chris helped me make a pattern using some 5"x5" and some 4"x4" squares.  I forgot to include the amount of seem allowances and had to add a bid here and there on the bottom, but so far I love it.
I just used basting spray and put the back, batting, and front together and safety pinned them together.  Hopefully I will attempt to quilt them together tonight.  I'm a little nervous.

Here are some pictures of my progress: 

Sorry the pictures aren't that good.  I've been working on this after the boys go to sleep.

I love the pickles!

This is the back.  

The main fabric is from Hancock Fabrics called Wild n' Wooly Giraffe Spots.

What Happened to the Sun?

Don't get me wrong... I love the rain.  I understand we need the moisture.  I just wish it wasn't rainy or gloomy everyday.  A couple of weeks ago Chris was away doing a FTX, so I had the car and it was nice and sunny and perfect to get out and go to the park.  So in hopes of bringing back the sun to our area here are some pictures of one outing to the park.

Jayce LOVES the slides!

This park is great for my little guys.

Driving Crazy!

Shaden is getting very brave, climbing all the ladders.

Shaden also has learned a new song:

Rain, rain go away.

Come again another day.
