Sewing Projects

Three years ago, I got a sewing machine for Christmas, but never used it (I did not know how). So last month, I started sewing classes and I loved it. My first project was pajama pants for Aiden and Taylor. I just finished both of their pants. Can you believe that I made these? I am so proud of myself!!!

Aiden picked out Transformer fabric and Taylor got Elmo. I was so suprised on how quickly they go together.

My cute little babies!

On Wednesday I am learning on how to make the tops. Also, Taylor's birthday is on Saturday and I want to make her a tutu. We will see how that goes.

The Beach

I love the beach and kids had fun too! Except that Taylor hated the sand, again! She stayed on the towels the entire time. On the other hand, Aiden was so busy. He was building sand castles, running away from the waves, occasionally getting his feet wet, and digging a big hole. Aiden running away from the waves. Everytime a wave would come, he would run all the way back to the towels. He wanted to make sure the waves would not get him.

At the beach Taylor wore her cover-up the entire time, but that night she would only wear her swimming suit and shoes to get ice cream. She is one determined child about her clothing.

DISNEYLAND

We went to Disneyland two days, luckily not in a row. The kids loved it. We got to go on a lot of rides too. Aiden's favorite was Pirates of the Carribean, which that ride scared Taylor, and the kids rollercoaster in toon town. Taylor loved seeing Tinker Bell, she refers to her as "Bell".

Trying to get that many people looking at the camera is impossible. Thanks Meg, at least your smiling.

Taylor loved Donald Ducks boat. She did not want to leave. Toon town is a great place for the kids to run around and play. All of us on Nemo's submarine. What a fun ride.

California 2009 - Day One

We had an amazing trip to California with the cousins. Aiden had spring break from Challenger, so we decided it would be fun for all the sisters and kids to go to California. Five kids under the age of 5 and a 12 hour drive to California, what were we thinking. Overall the trip went very well, and the kids loved it.

On the way down to California, there was a gas station next to a train and an army tank. Aiden, Jaxson and Taylor loved it. The only way we got back on the road again was to promise that we would stop there again on the way back.

Look at those strong guys showing their muscles!!

Conductor Taylor!

The first day there we decided to go to the park around the corner from the condo. The weather was amazing. I would love to move there!

Aiden, Alexander and Suzanne on the swings.

Taylor had a difficult time at the park. She hated the feeling of sand on her feet, so she kept her shoes on the entire time. Every few steps she would get upset. I would have to take her shoes off, wipe off her feet and put her shoes back on. We repeated this at least 5 times on the walk from this elephant to the slide. Oh, and she never leaves home without her phone and toothbrush, important accessories.

Boys and their clubhouse!
