Our Memorial Day Weekend

Liam got ridiculously good at crawling and fast! He is chasing the cats ever where! IMG_1255

He is pulling up on everything and has pushed up to standing a few times. He has been loving to crawl all over everyone like a jungle gym.

Grandma, Pop, and Uncle Matt came to visit and Liam got a trip around the living room on Pop….he loved it! We celebrated my Dad’s birthday while they were visiting and i made a great lemon raspberry layer cake with homemade raspberry curd that was phenomenal.

On Sunday we went downtown, walked around, and did some shopping.

They were having a 40% off your entire purchase promo at Ann Taylor loft and i was lucky enough to snag a cute pair of shorts and two tops. The promotion is still going on today and you can shop on-line for it as well!

My parents bought me a new sewing machine this weekend, extremely lucky girl i know! My mom and I had quite an adventure trying to find a machine and after shopping at almost ten different store we decided on getting a Singer Esteem II machine.

On Sunday i finished my first pair of Jon Jon’s for Liam. They turned out so cute! I have another pair with a patchwork plaid fabric that i am just dying to make. I will post pictures of the outfits soon!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day today!

Luke has that life-size giraffe in his "jungle" room - one of my aunts got it for him. :)
