Colson's DIY Baby Toms

7.13.2012

I don't claim to be the best sewer on the face of this planet but I am always willing to take on a good sewing challenge.

When I saw THIS on Pinterest, I knew that I had to give sewing these a try. They were too cute...and much cheaper than buying an actual pair of Tom's.

So I bought the pattern HERE, and headed to the fabric store to buy fabric.

I was able to get an hour and a half to myself yesterday to sew all of the pieces together.

Ummmm...could they be any cuter!?

I decided to make the 18month-2T size so they would fit longer, but sadly they are a bit too big right now.

I love them though. I might have to make another pair. :o)

A Few Randoms

1. We finally ordered Hannah's bed. We took her out last week to pick one out. Of course the one we picked was the one on backorder till July 30, but that's okay. I love it and so does Hannah!

Now I'm on the hunt for perfect bedding. :o)

2. I bought a pattern for these shoes on Etsy:

I also bought everything I need to make them, so hopefully I can get to the sewing machine for a few hours. They will be perfect for Colson! :o)

3. Nick is planning a getaway for our anniversary.

I am definitely in need of a vacation without the kiddos, that doesn't just involve Target. So what better way to celebrate 5 years of marriage then to go on vacation ALONE with the hubs. :o)

I have no idea when or where we're going...the hubs is keeping it hush-hush, but I couldn't be more excited!

4th of July

7.05.2012

We had a nice 4th of July despite the crazy heat.

Tuesday, we had a BBQ at my parents house. My sister and BIL were in from out of town and my aunt and uncle came. My BIL made pulled pork and ribs and my dad cooked some chicken on the grill. I made some buffalo chicken dip that was too good for words and some cheesecake stuffed strawberries--you know, the healthy necessities. :o)

Hannah went swimming for a bit, later in the evening, after the crazy heat lessened a bit.

Wednesday, we headed over to Nick's parent's house. We spent a few hours in the pool and then headed back home to put the kiddos down for a nap. Then we went back for dinner--deli sandwiches because it was just too darn hot to grill anything.

Here are just a few pictures that my MIL took.

These glasses were too cute. I love the above photo!

We tried to get all three cousins to wear them for a photo but Colson was kind of over photos by that point.
