THE GRAY AREA

roll of tape $3.00, white dish towel $2.50, Louie playing Santa.....priceless!

Fishermans Warf! The sea lions are quite a site, can't you tell by every ones excitement. In fact Louie would not leave the Warf until he had one in hand(a stuffed toy that is...)

We traveled to California this year for Thanksgiving. It was so great! Matt and Lori were so kind to invite everyone to their great little home. Mom cooked her usual giant turkey, Annie and Lori made everyone pilgrim and Indian hats so we could experience the true essence of Thanksgiving. Of course Lou had to be an Indian instead of a Pilgrim! The dinner was amazing and we had lot's of laughs as usual!

My sisiter and I have also been working on some satin Ballet slippers that we are going to sell thursday. Come check it out Friday and Saturday! They have lots of cool stuff. Follow the Tom and Lucy's link on my blog for directions.

Lucas had some serious bed head the other morning, and Scarlet insisted on the mismatched shoes and tights. Sometimes it's easier to let her have her way!

Babyrags are my latest creation! Making new one of a kind dresses using old vintage style shirts. I will be selling them at Tom and Lucy's Art Shoppe boutique, on Nov 20th and 21st. We will see how it goes. It has been a fun adventure!

Kurt and I at the Grand America.We were able to have a nice little weekend thanks to Mon Avie. Super fun! 24 hour room service, the hot chocolate was to die for it came to the room in china dishes with a huge bowl of whip cream on the side. soooo good!
























Happy Halloween!

Peppermint house pre-School has what they call shine time, where Lucas gets to stand up and talk about what he loves best. Of course he chose Cars. We went to Grandpa Joes to take pictures of all the cars he has helped work on or drive. Grandpa needs his help because his fingers are tiny enough to reach and tighten all of the nuts and bolts. Lucas loves it, and feels so special when he is a helper. For shime time he wants to tell about each car and he knows this by heart (1967 corvette convertible, 1967 corvette big block, 1969 Camero Z28, 1936 Ford Coupe, and of course his Dads car a 1969 Chevelle super sport.) Don't ask me how he remembers all of that, but he does and he loves it!

Dax and best buddy Jack playing soccer ! both teams did so well. I love to watch those kids get in and fight for the ball.
always a hotdog!

We went fishing with Cardwells. Adam and Kurt gave up and started catching crawdads. Dax and Jack had a ball. Scarlet Wore church shoes in the mud and was happy as can be!

I'm catching up a little. This was our trip to Disneyland. Scarlet insisted on being a princess the whole time. Lucas had to buy Mickey and insisted that Mickey went everywhere he did. Dax was the perfect age! He went on every ride and loved it! I'm ready to go back.

Louie the Lion decided to change baby Daisies(he's going through a little something right now)clothes, during the process he dented her head, oops!!! good thing he found it funny!

Scarlet, ah where do I start. She is growing so fast everyday changing. I'm loving watching her grow up from a baby into a little girl. My best little buddy! She loves to play with daddy. Everything from kicking the ball, to a special daddy pas de deux choreographed by her. She has just started counting to ten"one, two, three, four, fries, six, second, nine, ten." I also can't forget her famous new phrase "mom watch this" as she jumps and turns in the air. The 24 hour tutu, jumping off the chair onto the love sac, putting pullups on herself with both legs through one hole shouting "I did it." Always wanting to be pretty staring at herself in the mirror for hours on end. Dancing to itunes, requesting her favorite songs. waiting for daddy to come home from work so she can get tickled.
She is always amazing me and my heart melts with every milestone.

Uncle Alan's cabin! Grandma telling stories of the good old days!

Sorry we haven't had any new posts since Easters. I've been a little sidetracked with Facebook. I promise I will be better.

Scarlet loved her Easter dress. She danced around in it all day. She was so mad when I tried to put a sweater on her. The boys were not cooperating very well with the photos. Scarlet finally got mad and let Lucas have it.
