June Give Thanks, Week 3

June 15:
     Happy Father's Day to all the amazing fathers out there. Today is the day that we all thank our wonderful fathers; sadly I do not have one to thank. Instead I have an amazing, wonderful, inspiring, uplifting, supportive, and loving husband who takes care of our kids and does a damn good job at it, and that (or rather, who) I am thankful for.

Opening his Father's Day gift I made.

Its an ipad mini case made from his uniforms.

     I love when I have a chance to do a little sewing. Its my happy place. I am so excited and really thankful to have finished a door hanging project that has been in the works for awhile now. I finally finished it and was able to hang it up today!

Hanging on the front door.

The appliqued stars.

How I quilted the corners.

     Weight loss has been a huge part of each and every day this year so far. I wanted to take a moment today to be thankful for each small and large weight loss. Even though some weeks I loose a few ounces and others I loose 5 pounds; we all need to remember that its just another step forward to a healthier goal and healthier life style. Work hard and enjoy the small (and large) victories!

     Started a new sewing project today, and of course its for our master bedroom decor. I can not wait to finish it. With that, I am so thankful to my husband for letting me go crazy and re-do our master bedroom bedding/decor. I can not wait to get the quilting tool I need to make our blanket!!! I am so thankful for these fun and wonderful projects!!!

     I am so thankful that my oldest son loves to help me in the kitchen. He sees me starting to get the chocolate chip cookie dough items out and he asks/signs "help?" I love that he wants to crack the eggs, and pour the flour in. I am so glad he will have these fun memories of making cookies with us.

      I am so lucky and thankful for my amazing neighbor. She has a daughter my sons age and they absolutely love to play together. I love how they just run each other out, and he always sleeps great after they hang out. I cant thank her enough for all the information she gives me about the community, parties, and local events. She is by far one of the best neighbors I have had, ever!

     Thankful beyond thankful for being able to attend a new group today. Not only did my oldest get to play at a playground, but I was able to meet a few other moms, and snag a ring sling for our vacation! I can not wait to try the ring sling out and hopefully I end up loving it (as well as little man). So happy I finally am getting out into the community and exploring the world outside my house (don't judge, I am a hermit.)

Give Thanks,
Sarah

Father's Day 2013

Father's Day!

A lot of people love to celebrate Mother's Day with cards, candy, and of course roses! We on the other hand, we like to celebrate by just enjoying the day as a family and relaxing (usually). This year, for Father's Day; with myself being so big and pregnant, I didn't really find the time (or energy) to do anything huge, extravagant or crazy like I usually try to do! I often get creative and make something, or cook, bake, decorate, and or go out and have a crazy fun day! Nope, this year I said "I'll wake up with Brian, get him fed and let Daddy sleep or do whatever he wants in the morning".

It was just a lovely typical day in our house. Brian and I woke up and made cinnamon rolls for Daddy!



They were store bought, just unroll, cook and frost! However, everyone enjoyed them!

Even Brian enjoyed them!

After everyone was dressed and ready for the day, we did a few errands, and a little cleaning up around the house. The hubby spent a few hours cleaning the car while Brian napped. The day ended with lots of playing, wrestling, and all smiles!

Father son wrestling!
Playing games on the ipad!

At the end of the day, I hope my husband knows how much we love him, even if we didn't spoil him with toys and cards! He is an amazing husband, a wonderful Dad, and hopefully very soon he will be a Dad of two boys. I am blessed to be married to an Airman, a soldier, who has worked extremely hard to provide for us, give us what we need, put food on the table (and diapers on the little ones), and still have room in his heart to love each one of us with every ounce of his heart! We love you!!

I hope you all enjoyed your Father's Day!
