Preparing for an ballerina elmo birthday party

Allyson will be 3 next week... wow

My baby girl wants an elmo ballerina themed party.
So I have ordered a bunch of stuff from Etsy.(i provided the link to each thing) Elmo cut outs, 300 yards of tulle, Elmo cup cake toppers, and a banner of her name. Lots of stuff I could have done myself but I don't have time for that. I did make Allyson a tutu, the Elmo cut outs get tutus also, a tulle 3, a digital invitation and "Brought to you by the letter A and number 3" sign.

I will add more pictures later but here is the invite (I covered the address) and the sign.

I will post pictures from the party after it happens...

Today was the the daffodil parade... it started out nice and dry then we got poured on.

Thanksgiving

Is it really right around the corner just a week away? The last 6 months have been crazy. I am so glad Ty will be off and we will be able to spend some time together.

Speaking of Ty and work he got  his Renton transfer! No more 1.5+ hour commute to Everett. Now if corporate would stop being so greedy and just build the 777x in the Northwest like they should all would good.

its been a while

I only have a phone for internet and I rely a lot on the internet to keep me sane because I am home alone with 2 little most of the time. Back to what I was trying to say it is hard to post from my phone. It is also hard to find time when I am chasing my babies and trying to entertain them. Don't forget about cleaning up after them hmm.

So we got a new kitten his name is Blazer he is about 14 weeks now. My phone won't upload a picture.

We got another kitty. He had been abandoned in a dumpster :( But after a week he died. Poor little guy was so little and weak.

I have also been making lots of crafts, trying to stock up on some inventory before the bazaar in November.
Check out my crafting blog I will be posting about my new projects soon.

I love fall and winter time aka I hate the sun. I am not looking forward to the gloomy weather this year. As the days get shorter and colder I worry about not being able to go out and be active as I have been able to be all summer. It has kept my spirit up. Its going to be a sad dark winter and holiday season.

My baby boy is almost 9 months old and a speed crawler.

Ty is transferring from 747 to 777 it is not the Renton transfr we were hoping for he will still be in Everett. It is a better area and he will get more hours.

Government Shutdown: I don't care who you are or which side you are for (at this point I am calling myself conservative and not with any party). Anyway they need to be locked together until they can come to an agreement and STOP blaming eachother just get it done.

the things two year olds say

I post to much on Facebook already and I always want to post cute little things my baby girl has to say so I am going to keep track of them by blogging. Somehow.

A few days ago in a demanding voice "find Buddy"

7/8
"Buddy come back" (our kitty disappeared a few weeks ago)

"Where is my driver" (screw driver.  I was taking some hardware of a cabinet so I can paint it and she wanted to help)

7/10
"That's my baby Brennan"

Rebekka "I have 3 bug bits"
Ally "I have 4"


"Daddy no play with my toys"


Pointing at the dog crate. "That for me?"

8/8
"I need to go potty... my potty at home" In a loud excited voice

8/14
"It raining, over there, over there, over tthere!!!"

8/15
"I want to see dinosaurs"

8/21
"Daddy working up in airplane... I want him to get down"


"Come on mom" with some attitude

"What time is it?" She has a fascination with that phrase though she has no idea what time is.


Are you Ally?
"No I Allyson"

my kitty is missing

Last Saturday night my Buddy snuck out and we haven't seen him since :'( I have worked very hard the last 4 years to keep him away from the predators inthe rual area we live. I wrote a post about him when he was a little guy. Read about him here. He is a big boy and the best cat I have had and I have had a lot. Some cats have come back after being gone for a long timeso there is still some hope but if not there is no closer. I miss him.

My papa passed away last Friday morning after a hard fight against cancer. His doctors belived they cured the cancer but treatment distroyed the little function his heart had left after many heart attacks.. It is hard to think that if he had not had the treatment he might still be with us or even if he had just done the chemo and not the radiation. It was what he want to do though.

It has been almost 5 years since high school graduation!

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you. - Christopher Robin
