till my family is here, that is!
They will arrive tomorrow, and be staying till tuesday July 31 (my 26th bday!)
I am busy, busy cleaning, so the house looks nice when they arrive.
As soon as we drop them off at the airport we are headed to Tampa to spend the rest of the day! Our flight to Montana leaves bright and early at 8am on Wednesday, so rather than have to get up by 4 and have to drive the 1 1/2-2 hr trip first thing in the morning to be there by 6-6:30 we are going to be staying at a hotel up there!
Then we spend a week in Montana and won't be home till Aug 7!
We will be having Maddie's Birthday party with my family on Sunday, then will be in Montana on her actual birthday, which is one week from tomorrow!!! Wow, I don't want to believe that my little girl is going to be one year old already!

pink patch skirt!
This post is gonna be short and sweet! Just had to share my newest completed sewing project!!
I decided to try making something new, and I think it turned out pretty good, for my first try, and not having a pattern or anything!!
It is lined on the inside, then I used elastic at the waist!!
I think I might make a couple of them to take and sell at the craft fair!
Here are some pics of 2 different views of it:
and Maddie modeling it for me :)

sick :(
So David caught some nasty cold from some kid, when he was helping put up a fence last week.
He started getting sick on Sunday some time, and well I was hoping since I rarely get sick, that I would be fine.
Boy was I ever wrong...
I woke up yesterday, which was Davids 26th Birthday, feeling like HELL. Headache, nasty cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, and lots of sneezing too.
My nose is so red and sore today, from blowing it sooo many times yesterday. I feel even worse today, but David is feeling a bit better today, so I am hoping this will pass by the weekend.
I am more concerned about Madeline getting sick tho. I am hoping she doesn't catch this aweful cold. She has been sneezing, and a few coughs here and there between today and yesterday, so I am starting to worry, that she may in fact come down with it. Being breastfed should help her fight this off tho, so I am hoping that her few coughs and sneezes will be all she gets of this.
On a happier note, ONLY 8 days till my family (except for my father) is here to visit!!! And my brother who recently moved out to Tucson will even be here!! Up till last week, he was not going to be able to come. They will all be here from the 27-31 (my birthday!) Then the following day (Aug 1) we will be headed off to Montana to visit!!!
That also means tho, that in only 15 days my sweet little girl will be 1 year old!!! I can hardly believe how this past year has flown by!!

What is it about the toilet???
so I meant to post about this in my earlier post, then somehow forgot.
But what is it about toilets that draws children to them??? I guess Maddie does like to splash in water, and the toilet is a big water bowl. But she likes to put things in it that don't belong!!
Like this morning for instance!
So, I had left my wallet on the coffee table and my wallet is one of her favorite things. Even when it is in the diaper bag, she will go thru the bag and find it, and start pulling stuff out of it.
Well, I scratched my leg this morning, by accident where I already had a scab, so I was bleeding and went to get a band-aid from the bathroom.
So do you see where this is going???
Anyways, I did not think that the seat might be up. I almost always put it back down when I am done, and that bathroom door is always closed unless one of us is using it.
Well, as I am busy putting my band-aid on, little miss Madeline comes walking in, and before I could even realize what she was doing I hear a big ole SPLASH!!
Yep, there goes my wallet- full of money, credit cards, pictures, coupons........ I think you get the picture, just full of the normal stuff you keep in a wallet, all SOAKED with toilet water!!
So then I got to fish it out while Maddie tried to "help" me!! Then I washed her hands up, because no matter how often I clean the toilets in this house, it is still a toilet and NO place for little hands that frequently visit a little mouth! Then I started emptying my wallet out and trying to salvage everything, and clean it off best I could without ruining it.
Everything ended up just fine thankfully, and it gave me a chance to leave out a few things that were long overdue to be removed in the first place!!
I guess I should just be happy she didn't flush!!!

CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who doesn't LOVE cupcakes, and what better way to celebrate the 4th than with cupcakes decorated in RED, WHITE, and Blue icing!!!
I made 1/2 a batch of chocolate, and 1/2 a batch of yellow of these yummy cupcakes and the icing from scratch for the 4th, and added food coloring to the icing to get the color I was looking for! They of course are long gone by now!!! But I took pics of a few of them!!!!
It was Maddie's 1st 4th of July, and she had so much fun!!
We went to the beach in the morning, and she got to go in the ocean with me for the first time!! Then we went to some friends house for the rest of the day, and swam in their pool, Maddie LOVES the water!!!
We also cooked hamburgers and hot dogs, and I made some yummy pasta salad, and we of course had cupcakes too!!!
It was a great day!!!

lots to sew
I've been busy lately sewing. Only a month left till we go to Montana to visit, and I am doing a craft fair while there. So I have to make sure I have plenty of stuff to sell!!
My latest project was this little blue dress:
I have 2 versions of it:
I already have 2 extra ones made up, and plan on doing 2 more, plus a few of each of my other patch shirts, and lots of bows and bandanas!
I really hope I do well.
I did sell 2 sets of my 4th of July shirts and bandanas, along with 2 pairs of hair bows! MIL actually sold them for me, to a couple of people she knows with little girls!
Tomorrow Maddie will be 11 months!! This last year has just gone by soooo fast.
She is walking so well now, and walks more than she crawls. She can easily go 30 steps or more with out falling! She also just got her 3rd tooth in last tuesday, and I think her 4th will be here soon too!
Wednesday is the 4th of July, and we are going to some friends house for part of the day. We are also, planning on going to the beach for a bit. That should be fun!! I am sure that Maddie will want to eat the sand and shells tho, lol! Hopefully it isn't too hot, so we can stay for awhile, I just really don't want to keep Maddie out in the sun for too long, even with sunscreen on.
I am gonna make cupcakes for the 4th too!! Red, White, and Blue!! Yummy!
