About Me

My photo
We are Daniel and Sara. We met October of 2006 and were married August of 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. Since then we're kind of in the fast lane. We both got the baby bug pretty early on in our marriage and we welcomed our beautiful baby boy Dmitri in August 2008! We couldn't be happier! Daniel is a Captain in the Army and has his Bachelors in Nursing. We're living in HI and so far are enjoying our time here! I'm a stay at home mommy and am looking forward to finishing school. Blah :} Dan enjoys; hunting, basketball, shooting ranges, movies, *sigh - video games and Halloween. Sara enjoys; crocheting, baking, aquariums, sewing, shopping, swimming and trying to get organized. Dmitri enjoys; trying new food, crawling, bath time, stroller rides, electronics and getting into things he shouldn't. It takes all kinds to make up a family - and we cherish and love our little family! :)

Oh he makes me giggle!

As a mentioned in the previous post...
I was making a stuffed animal for my
newest nephew Conner.

Well I finished him.

He's gone through 3 heads - some
liposuction with and total body
nip and tuck.
Also a nose job and face lift.

He's not perfect - but I still adore him.
He makes me laugh everytime I see
him. So I hope Conner will like him -when
he's a bit older :)

So here he is - my Conner bear.
Can you see him??Here he is without his camouflageAnd here's Dmitri giving a slight stink
eye - because he didn't want to pose with himWell my material went a long way.
I've used some of these fabrics in the
past - so a lot are left overs.
I also used some for my Ewan doll that
I blogged about yesterday.

And since I STILL have a lot left over - I
went to town on the baby projects!
Seriously - I was a sewing MACHINE
today.

Blanket
Ruffle on the blanket - and the back
Monogram 'C' on the blanket
3 reversible bibs

Front
Back - or vice versa
I still need to get some velcro for them

I also made some leg warmers - and
some onesies.
The leg warmers are made out of
adult socks.
The toes are cut off - and partially
sewn back on.
Easy and fast project!

For the onesies - they were very fun!
They're actually a pack of 5 white onesies
that I dyed [some blue - some green]
[I tie dyed 2 of them]
and then stenciled some prints on.

Actually - I did the freezer paper
stencil first - then dyed them.
So some of the onesies have some
yellow spotting from the fabric paint.
So now I know - for next time...
Here's one [my fave one] up close.
And the fabric paint has glitter in it.
Gotta love that.
So I spent all day in a sewing groove.
And accomplished a lot.
So yay!

{Sorry if I ruined the surprise Sarah! But there's
still a few more things that I didn't blog about:}

Now I need to mail all of these things!

:}

Daniel worked last night. He's still
working in the ER.
His night was good.
Though he told me if we ever have
an emergency - we're not going to
Tripler.
:}
Only because you wont be seen for
like 6 hours.
But I think that's most hospitals.

Daniel was texting me last night - and
he said it'd be so nice to be home,
sitting on the couch watching Ghost Busters
with a cold drink.
So what's going on right now?
Daniel's at home - sitting on the couch,
watching Ghost Busters with a cold drink.
Actually he's having a Ghost Busters
marathon.
He got done watching number one and is
almost done with number 2.
Gotta love a Saturday night!

Oh - we also walked to the store
to get some ice cream.
Cookies and Cream to be exact.
Mmm mm good!

Hmmm - could Dmitri be trying to tell me
something...?Oh goodness I hope so!
XDOh - and here's the video I tried
to post last night.
It's Dmitri chatting away.
:)

He's started pointing with his
pointer finger.
Before he'd point with his fist.

He's also started to try and put lids
back on things - and fit blocks into
holes.
He has a toy sailboat that has
different shaped blocks - and on
the sailboat are holes shaped like
the blocks.
So he tried to stick them in the holes.
Not the right holes - but still :)

Or he sticks the top of the boat on his
head and stares out the holes and
laughs.

Either way - he has a good time.
:)
