It's still raining
It's still raining, so we're still dancing!
I caught this, unstaged....they have been loving, dancing in the rain every day.
With all of the rain, I have been doing a few inside projects.
I put together these jersey knit/minky blankets with matching knit hats for a dear friend.
She will be having identical twin boys soon.
They will make #8 & 9 in their family.
Please pray for the safety of all of them.
My little poser.
Matching his blanket.
He makes my day...every day.

A little rainy day fun
Isn't he so handsome?
Last weekend, during our great rummage sale finds.
Little GQ found these puddle jumpers for $1.
We found them just in the knick of time.
We've had rain for a couple weeks now.
Every. Day!
As long as it isn't a thunderstorm, I've been letting them play out in the rain.
In fact, they are doing it RIGHT THIS SECOND.
These pictures are from Sunday.
Hence, his Sunday clothes.
Some awesome puddle jumping
At least Moose changed out of his Sunday clothes.

By afternoon, the sun was shining.
Though evening did bring another storm.
In the afternoon, we had more outside fun.
They have all been enjoying hula hooping.
They're pretty good too, this one can go more than 100.
Others can get over 500.
A couple prefer their scooters.
Little man and I were watching.
THough I did jump in on the hula contest and we did go for a walk.
My boys!
I love them to pieces.
Frankie is getting too big!
Then daddy jumped in on the fun and was giving the little guys rides.
They were thrilled.
Too much fun can tucker a guy out!
And a couple of the favorites from the day.
This last one takes the cake...their faces had me DYING when I uploaded them to the computer.
EPIC!

The girls love it.
And I love it. We ALL had a great time playing with it this weekend.

One of our new favorite recipes for pizza.
Buffalo chicken bacon ranch.
Here is a quick way, but we make the good ole fashioned way on dough too!
I preheat the over to 425.
Have my dough base ( whatever that may be)
I prepare 1-2 chicken breasts, dice up and put into a bowl.
Add Redd's buffalo sauce to the chicken,
Then I add real bacon crumbles.
I sprinkled with a little onion and garlic powder.
Topped with mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkled a little bit more Redd's hot sauce and baked until crispy.
It was REALLY yummy and flavorful and a hit with EVERYONE!
My girls have had fun baking cookies once or twice a week....OH THE INHUMANITY!!
Cookies are my one weakness.
My cute GQ
Everyone has had fun with daddy's old glasses.
We went to a local strawberry festival for the first time, this weekend.
We had great fun!
I've always seen these beautiful face paintings and wanted one.
When Gem's was up for it, we ran over and had her face painted.
It was 100 times better for me to be able to sit and admire it on her.
We were both sad when it was time to wash it off.
My days.
My days are filled, from top to bottom.
Sometimes beautiful...sometimes ugly, but this face...this face keeps me going.
Whenever it's rough....Moose has a way of brightening any mood.
And then, there is this smile.
My little cutie pie!
10 months old.
Where is the time going?

Baby Moccasins and Saint Pegs
This week, there was a RIDICULOUS amount of things to accomplish.
For some reason, there was work piled up and BIG jobs needed to be finished.
All things that take a lot of effort, and work on my part.
I am happy to say, Friday is here, and there is only 1 thing left on that list.
I was so happy to do another one.
This time there were 50!!!! people participating.
I chose one of my favorite saints...St Tarcisius. I've always loved him.
The next fun project.
I sewed up my first pair of moccasins yesterday.
I think I may be hooked.
This past winter I bought two pair of my little boys and I loved them.
SO...I headed over to good ole' etsy, and searched for a pattern.
I found one in pdf form.
Then I went to search for some leather there too.
My first pair was this sweet turquoise metallic set for my niece, who's birthday was yesterday.
I made up a "mock" felt pair to practice.
They worked up in a jiffy.
So then I set out to make them with the leather, and voila!
They are beyond cuteness!
These are a 2T-3T in size, and perfect! I can't wait to see what she thinks of them.
My little GQ~man, wants another pair.
I'm so happy that now I can make him some.
He has a brown leather pair, now he wants red, like Superman. =)

bibanu mixxl ft puya & delia goneThis past week, on Instagram, I shared that my favorite piece of jewelry is my Miriam necklace.
Made by a sweet lady after losing our little princess.
It is one of my most prized possessions.
Her little feet, always by my heart.
I added to my necklace collection this week.
has the most gorgeous, hand embroidered necklaces.
It was REALLY hard to chose, but at the same time, easy.
The Immaculate Heart won my vote.
I LOVE it!!!
This little monkey is cracking me up.
He was helping daddy clean up the garage one evening.
They were going through old storage bins.
Yesterday, we ventured out for our Target run.
Who doesn't love new coloring pages and crayons.
The kids ( and Mama) have been coloring away.
If I find any more, cheap fun kids things, I'll be sure to share.
Hope you're enjoying summer!

Okay, so this may be a "little" bias, but truly, it's an ADORABLE children's book!

See, doesn't she do AMAZING work!
All from her own imagination...I can't even!
Here is Bubby Bear.
Sophia Sheep is on the top of my list....I may need her.
Gertie Goose
And Mortimer Mouse are all invited to a grand party for Felicity's birthday.
The story is colorfully and beautifully illustrated by my mother.
