Bunch of Bitty Bows

Here's a pic of the latest Bitty Bows I've made. They measure approx 2.75" wide. They're perfect for a baby girl's hair. Like all of my alligator clip backed bows, they are all lined to help prevent slipping. I also heat seal them to prevent fraying. The colors I used are (clockwise from top): Blue, Sarsaparilla, Old rose, Robin's Egg Blue, Dusty Rose, Rose Pink, White, and Red.

The bow in the middle is the Pink & White Layered Double Ruffle bow I posted last week.

Here's a close up of the blue bow.

I'm gonna be an aunt...again!

My brother called me at 11:30 last night to let me know they are adding to their family. My SIL is pregnant with their third child which will be due in Nov/Dec. I'm so excited that I will be back in CA by then to meet my new niece/nephew.

Time To Relax

Well, Aaron and I had some time to ourselves this weekend...without kids! Maddie and Kynzie spent the night with their Gramma on Saturday and came back today at dinner time. So what did we do, you ask? A lot of nothing. Man we're getting old and boring!

We all went to church on Saturday evening and had dinner together. After dinner the girls took off and Aaron and I decided at the last minute to run to Blockbuster. We watched "Dan In Real Life". It was a cute and funny movie. Then we called it a night.

Sunday morning Aaron washed his truck right away, while I got the house picked up. We then took off to do our weekly Grocery Game shopping, but this week we really didn't get much stuff. We also had lunch at Chili's. I decided to have the Express Lunch Soup and Salad...bad idea. First I tried the Chicken Enchilada soup...it was ok, but not really that great. Then I switched to Broccoli Cheese soup...it was horrible. It tasted like melted imitation cheese. I love Broccoli cheese soup, so I was highly disappointed. I did have a couple glass fulls of Strawberry Lemonade.

We also checked out the local YMCA and we're deciding on joining. It's a brand new YMCA and has a waterpark, and the best part is that it's literally down the street from our subdivision, but it's super expensive. We'll see. I'm trying to figure out ways to beat the heat here in Houston, without driving super far.

Other than that we didn't do much else. I made some more bitty bows and dinner, but now the kids are in bed and I'm kicking myself in the butt for not taking advantage of the time we had without them. Oh well...such is life!

My First Double Ruffle Bitty Bow

A friend of mine wanted me to make her a double ruffle bow for her 3 month old daughter, but she wanted a small one. So I tried my hand at it today and it came out so cute! I'm so happy that I've figured out how to work with this double ruffle ribbon. Now they are my favorite kind of bows.

That's how you know...

he loves you! Stupid "Enchanted"! Kynzie loves this movie so we watch it all the time. The songs get stuck in my head. I do love the movie too, but not as much as her. I love that Amy Adams holds her hands out like the Disney princesses do in the movies. It's such a cute movie. I think it's great that she actually sings the songs too.

When I first saw Enchanted I couldn't figure out why Amy Adams looked so familiar. Then it hit me...she was the candy striper in Catch Me If You Can. I loved that movie.

Anyhow, Enchanted really made me a fan of Amy Adams. I think she did a wonderful job in it. This is the first movie that Kynzie will actually sit through! Hmmm, maybe I'll get to play with some stuff in my craft room!

Go Daddy

So I'm finally trying to update my BizzyBows.com website since I've practically done nothing with it since I bought the domain, but the GoDaddy.com site is so slow. It's driving me insane! Now I remember why I didn't get to far when I first started out. I purchased the Website Tonight package, but it's not as user friendly as this site is.

Hopefully I'll get it fully up and running soon.

Good Sunday!

We've started going to Saturday night service and we've really enjoyed it. It works out great for us because it's way less crowded than second service on Sundays. It feels much more laid back, which we really like. The girls Sunday school classrooms aren't packed full and they enjoy that as well.

This is a pic of the house before we planted.

Before church on Saturday, we went to Houston Garden Center and bought a bunch of flowers and plants to color up our flower beds in the front yard. Aaron wanted to hire someone to do it, but I wanted to make it a family project. We got up early (well early for a weekend) and got to work on the front yard. It was such a beautiful day. There was shade in the front and the weather was perfect. We planted mostly white and red flowers (impatience and petunias) along with some day lilies.

This is a picture of the house after we planted.

Maddie dug, fertilized and planted most of the flower beds. I pre-positioned all the flowers and plants, but she did such a great job. She just got right in there with her bare hands and all. I was so proud of her.

Here's the flower bed on the right.

Here's the flower bed on the left.

Here's the red and white Impatience we planted. We also planted Petunias.
Here's some pretty green and white leafy plants.

Maddie picked out all of our Day Lillies.

I don't know what these pretty purple flowers are, but the builder planted them.

We finished around 11:20 and left the house by 11:30 to do the Grocery Game. We got some really great deals as usual. We got home by 1:30. I fed the girls and Aaron put them down for a nap by 2:30. We got them up at 5:30 and after Aaron's mom showed up, we headed of to Aaron's softball game. We had left over catfish (re-fried, which made it extra crunchy...yummy) and asparagus.

All in all it was a good Sunday!
