New Sets!

I wish I could say these are all over in my shop but unfortunately or rather fortunately they are for an order I am working on filling for 12 sets! Woohoo! People are just having babies all over the place! This is part of why I haven't had a lot of time for blogging lately! That and the fact that Audra up until a few days ago was boycotting any sort of real nap. Almost all of this fabric I got from the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon! I just love all of these patterns and they have been so fun to work with!

I have also been working on a new burp cloth idea! Flannel on one side and minky on the other! Does it get any softer than that!? I totally wish I had these when Audra was first born! I have lots more of these coming soon!

She wore an

Isty Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pink Skirted Bikini!

Audra is starting to pitch in here and there and offered to carry her bucket to the beach. :)

Um can I have your sunglasses??

Fine tuning her surfing skills

Isn't my bucket for eating??

Went on a long walk down the beach with her dad, which was really nice for mama!

She is all about her tongue lately!

Leaving us with one tuckered out little baby girl!

Audra and Lucy

Well Audra has really discovered that she has a puppy and she thinks she is pretty fun! I laid Audra down with some toys but she was more interested in her furry toy that was moving around so she scooted over to Lucy! Lucy was trying to lay on Audra's blanket so I got Lucy her own blanket. It is so cute seeing them interact! Lucy totally loves Audra but doesn't trust her. Rightfully so since Audra is into pulling hair!

Then Lucy went and got her toys to see if Audra wanted to play with her but Audra was busy with her baby toys.

So Lucy took her dog toys over to her blanket thinking that is just what the babies in this house do!

Oregon Trip part 3

We left the coast and headed up to Ptown to meet up with friends! First stop was to see our friends the Bolens! Who will be here in 6 days!!

Of course we stopped by on a super crazy day for them since they were moving that day!!

Audra and Ethan got to play...
Isn't that baby E just so cute! Such a big boy sitting up on his own!
With our babies! Miss that little Klaire Bear! I think Ethan is checking out Audra in this picture!

That evening we were also able to meet up with our friends Justin and Austie for desert at CPK but I didn't get any pictures of that. :(

On Sunday Andrew started his drive back to So Cal.
Daniel's birthday was that next weekend but since Audra and I were in town we got to celebrate a week early which was such a treat for us since we haven't been around for birthdays the last few years.
Of course we got balloons for the birthday boy which is a funny story. I put the balloons in the back of the van and didn't tie them to anything. We made our first stop after picking up the balloons and got back to the car and as I opened the door one balloon flew out. So then we were down to just two balloons. We made another stop and got back to the car and realized we only had one balloon left. At some point a second one had escaped!! So in an effort to make sure we had balloons for the party we only made one more stop, to buy more balloons!
Audra was really excited about the balloons!


All four generations!
You can totally tell in these pictures that Audra is going to have Hawaiian hula eyes! They are so brown!
The next day we went down to the waterfront for a picnic and to ride the carousel!
Our friends Kimberly and Isaac met us there! Isaac is only three weeks older than Audra.


Ok so I am waiting for a cd of pictures from my mom because I don't have any of the carousel on my camera so there will be more to come!

On our last day in Oregon Audra and I went back up to Ptown to spend the day with Amanda, Klaire, Ethan, Annie and Colin! It was so fun to have the kids play together! Soon Annie's sweet Julia will be joining in on the fun too!! We went out to lunch at Panera and then Amanda's mom stayed with Klaire while she napped so we could sneak off to the Mill Ends in Beaverton! Erin Michelle met us there and then later Erin, Kelly and I went to dinner at PF Changs! It was really so wonderful getting to spend the day with friends! So lame that I didn't get any pictures of that day either!!

Oregon Trip part 2

After Sisters we headed straight over to the coast to spend time with Audra's Palmer Grandparents!

We did lots of shopping at the outlets although I didn't take any pictures of that it is kind of just our thing that we do when we go there! :)

After a hard day of shopping just outside of the yummy Side Door Cafe! Audra with her Palmer Grandparents! Isn't this such a great picture of them!

On the way home from dinner we stopped by the beach for some sunset pictures. It was truly a perfect day at the coast! Warm, totally clear, no wind just beautiful!

Of course Audra was rocking her shades

Getting a little Oregon sand between her toes!

Just our little family!

After taking pictures we had to stop again because we saw a whale so close to shore! Unfortunately our super slow point and shoot could only capture the spray from the whale.

The next day we, you guessed it, went shopping! With some clam chowder from Kyllo's mixed in there too!A couple pictures from that evening back at the house for some homemade pizza!

Love this picture!

The next day we went to the Oregon Coast Aquarium which was so fun since I haven't been there since I was in junior high!
I love all the blown glass!


I think everyone's favorite part was the shark exhibit. Andrew was especially pumped since it was Shark week on the Discovery channel.

She just loves kicking her feet up! They are pretty much always dancing on the car seat bar!

All the little fishes look like stars!

It is so relaxing being at the coast and just getting to enjoy time with family! We had so much fun! Stay tuned for part 3 and what we were up to the rest of the month!!
