DD Birthday Dress

DD's birthday isn't for another month, but we had her party this past weekend with my inlaws. It was a "joint" birthday party with her Papa. Since his birthday was the 20th and hers is the 24th of March it makes it easier to just have one party instead of one this month and one next month. Her is a picture of the cake I made for her. What do you think? I was very pleased with the way it turned out.
The next pictures...some of you may recognize her birthday dress. I finished it this past fall, but it was too big for her because I purposefully made it that way so she could have a special dress for her birthday. Well, I put it on her and I was surprised how much weight she has gained in the past few weeks. I didn't know if it would fit, but it worked out alright. But she won't be in it much longer I am afraid.

She really loves hats! I still can't get over how cute she is in this outfit, but I am just a little biased. ;)

GREAT JOB on the cake...It looks too pretty to eat. I don't think you are biased at all ... she is adorable. I love the way she looks in her hat and dress. They grow so fast its hard to keep them in clothes and when you put all that work in the ones ya make you wanna make them big enough to last awhile..I do the same thing..

She is soooo cute. And the dress is gorgeous. Where'd you get that pattern??? *wink* Your cake is beautiful. Where were you last year when I tried to make a butterfly cake? Mine didn't turn out near as well as yours. I am having a friend make one for us this year.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
