I wish all of you luck in being chosen, but you need to hurry for the end of the day deadline. ;o)

Goodies from Lemon Tree Studio

I read LilyEdens http://www.mylilyeden.blogspot.comblog everyday, she is so creative and funny that I am inspired every time that I read it. In addition, she has this adorable etsy shop Lemon Tree Studio http://www.LemonTreeStudio.etsy.comthat has all kinds of little treats that would brighten anyones day if they received them. I shouldn't tell you all this, but on Fridays she has a freebie friday where she has a "Goodie(s)" that she gives away if you respond to a question she poses. Well I happened to answer one of her questions right last week (Thanks to Emma being born chubby) and I won some GOODIES... here they are!

I am so excited to use the letters, which say August, and the adorable moon and stars fabric... hmmm.... think creative! Thanks LilyEden

Too Big!!

I know that I can't be the only one that sees the cutest outfit and has to buy it knowing that it won't fit... Emma that is! I found this swimsuit at Target, but they only had it in a 2T.

Couldn't pass it up though... I just justified that she can wear it next year.

Sweet Corn

I have been waiting patiently all summer long for the sweet corn to be ready. Clay searched and searched for the perfect seed that would make the sweetest ear of corn... did he find it?

He sure did!!! and ALOT of it. He told me to come to the farm so we could bag up and freeze some I had no idea how much he meant. After six hours of shucking, silking, blanching, stripping and bagging we came up with somewhere around 50 bags of corn to be frozen... did I meantion we still had a cooler of corn left that we decided would have to wait for another day! Come December I will be glad that he picked so much. ;o)
As you can see we made it into a family party.

We are such task masters!

Maybe not... Grandpa set up the pool for him to cool off after all the hard work. Emma had the hardest job of all!!

She Supervised!!

Safety Patrol

The kids and I were at the library here in town the other day (we go pretty much everyday I'm off), but we happened to be there the same time as Bill (the local bike guy). He came up to Emma and I and asked if we would be there for 5 minutes, I said sure. He comes back with a whole assortment of kids bicycle helments... did I mention that we always ride our bikes down there. Emma has a seat that is attached to the back of my bike and I never really thought about here needing a helmet... Bill did!!
Therefore, he fitted this adorable little ladybug helmet so that it fits my little "bug" just perfectly and boy does she look cute in it. I said Bill, "what do I owe you?", he said just be careful. What a great guy!

Blogs readability!!!

Movie Reviews

A friend of mine had this posted on her blog so I thought what the heck I will give it a try... I think my blog is more along the lines of grade school! Who comes up with this stuff. ;o)

4th of July Craft Show

On the 4th of July a town about a hour away has a huge craft show in their town square and it is a rather neat event that I enjoy going to. My booth was in a wonderful location this year (aka under a huge shade tree) and business was pretty good to boot. My friend Robyn went with me and I am extremely blessed that she is such a wonderful person and makes life so much more enjoyable.
