I am as proud as a peaccok!!! So I finally did it....made a dress for Neva! So it is FAR FAR FAR from perfect however I want to pin a rose on my nose this one time as the ONLY sewing expirience I had was home economics in 9th grade that I sewed a teddy bear pillow. I was also pretty proud that I didnt have a pattern to use because I couldnt find exactly what I was looking for so YAY for Erin!!!

Spring FEVER!

The weather has been sooo fabulous this last week or so and we have been enjoying every minute of it, taking advantage of being able to open our windows and let the fresh air in. Most everynight we have walked, biked or rollerbladed! I was a bit disaapointed to hear that we are supposed to get SNOW this weekend (or so they say) hopefully the weatherman is wrong as they tend to be in nothern Michigan!

I have been gearing up to begin coaching again this fall! I am VERY excited to be back at it again. Neva and her Daddy will get to spend some quality time together in my absence :)

Miss Neva was recently featured on this Freshly Picked blog that I absolutely ADORE and in love with! Please check her out- Susan is filled with fantastic ideas and great tutorials!

Endless Creativity!

Although I have always been relatively blessed with creative ideas it seems since being a Mommy- I have endless inspiration to adorn my lil Miss Neva with fun things- not to mention her Friends have benefitted as well!

I have made hats,felt flats, hooded towels, hair accessories and now the most recent! Her Cherry Festival skirt!!! I am sooo excited and proud of myself for this one! Check Susan out at Freshly Picked for awesome ides! http://freshlypicked.blogspot.com/

Movin and a shakin!

Well since I have last "blogged" Miss Neva is moving and a shakin'! She is all over the place and quite quick if I dont say so myself! She has perfected her crawling she has now added scooting to her list of accomplishements- way too funny!

We had a shared 30th Birthday party for Brian and Matt at Wilderness Crossings we all had a great time. A big thanks to Barb for taking the pics!

Batton down the hatches!

Neva is officially a crawler as of this past Saturday! She has been chasing Remington all over the house trying to get her once she get to her she laughs and Remington finds a new spot to lay down and the cycle repeats itself endless times!

We also went to the Doctor again yesterday she still hasnt shook the ear infection so we are on more antibiotics other than that all is well!

This week is Matt's birthday! He is turning the big 3-0!!!! He is a little disenchanted with this milestone or so it seems anyway.

Well wishes for everyone!

First and Foremost

Well its the first day of the rest of your life....right?!

Anyway for those of you that live far away and whom we dont unfortunately see as often as we would like!

We approach the 8th month of Neva Ryann and enjoying EVERY MINUTE of it! Daily she is surprising us with new faces and increases level of being brave! She is pulling herself up on oh just about everything and anything she can. She is working on crawling but is quite mobile at this point! She is Mama's little travel buddy she has accompanied me to a couple cheerleading competitions and one basketball game she rather enjoys people watching.

We are also in her 2nd swim class with good friend Brody & cousins Jillian and Jaxon! Neva is a FISH! She absolutely LOVES the water to no end! We tried a paddle board last night and her little legs were just a kickin'!

We are looking forward to spring when we can get some more outdoor time, but we remain busy with snowshoeing and all sorts of adventures!
