San Francisco

The first Saturday of April we went our seperate ways. Cynthia went to her Mom's, I went scrapbooking, Evan went to My Friends and Rudy and Gabriel went to San Francisco with Rudy's Mom and Dad


What can I say?


I bet he would have loved it if this was one of the infamous hills

A candy shop in China Town

Rudy mainly went to get Sour balls and ginger

Happy 35th Birthday Rudy April 2nd

We had Cake and Ice cream for Rudy's birthday
Here he is with the boys and his parents


Evan is standign at the counter because he really wants some cake and he also helped Daddy blow out candles

helping Daddy

Rudy is such an awesome father and husband, I hope we are able to live a long life together

Bandanna/Bibs

At Evan's school they do not want him to wear standard bibs because they say the are not age appropriate, which I agree but neither is a soaked shirt. So the school usually puts a bandanna on him in place of the bibs that I send. Well this is fine but they do not soak up the drool very well. So I went to the yardage shop and got material, plastic to go inside and then terry cloth for the back. I have made him 1 standard looking bib, then 1 bandanna bib and I have enough material to make about 15 more bandanna bibs. So check out our Wall-E bib.

The first day Evan wore it, the bib worked really well and his shirt stayed dry

Isn't my boy a cutie? Don't you love his mini-mohawk?
I am thinking of selling these so if anyone wants one or more I will be happy to make them for you.
Each bib has 3 layers
1st is cotton or flannel print or solid
2nd layer - plastic lining sewn to 1st layer
3rd layer is the terry cloth(colors are white, ecru, blue for boys or pink, white, ecru for girls)

Then I use bias tape around the bib for a nice look. Bibs are $5.00 each

Things are different for prom that they were in my day. Cynthia and her date had to be ready to take pics at the school at 3pm and then they came back to our house until they had to leave at 5:30 to be at the Sheraton at 6pm.


Here is a close up shot. I did her hair(pretty pleased with it)

I also made this shawl to go with her dress, the shades are not quite the same but it works
