Emmett and Everett's Party Pictures

Seussville First Birthday!!!

Emmett's and Everett's Party went great!  We had many friends and family members come and lots of help from loved ones.

We made paper chains... We made a ton of paper chains actually.  They turned out amazing!  You can see them in the background of most of the pictures.

Here is the cake tower.  Ofcourse we had 2!  Even though we waited until last minute to put cotton candy on the Thing One Thing Two cupcakes they still wilted really quickly.

 

This is just a few.  I'll be posting many more soon!!!

Elsie Cow Hat

One more I forgot to post! 

I had fun making this one...

Thank God for Yarn Time!

Ahh... Finally got a project completed that did not have anything to do with Dr. Seuss!! 

Thing One and Thing Two have been stuck in my head...

 Ive been working so hard...

 Way after I put the babies to bed!

I couldn't help it... haha

Anyway here is a super cute hat I've been wanting to work for a long time, and I'm very happy to have it complete!  It turned out as cute as I had hoped for...

Snug as a Bug Lady Bug

I love the way this lady bug hat turned out!  I made it for Devon Emily Photography.  I cant wait to see how it turns out!  I also made another hat Devon used in one of her sessions.

Isn't this one of the cutest little boys you've ever seen??? 

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks!

I just completed my latest project for Devon Emily Photography.  This is going to be used to take some newborn pictures of one of her clients!  I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Good Friday

I got to start the day off a little late today thanks to the Emmett and Everett sleeping a little late.  It was so nice!  When they woke up I fed them breakfast and they wanted to go back to sleep!  Can you believe it?? So I took some time to myself and finished up crocheting some carrots I was making for them on the back porch with a cup of coffee!  I'll be posting some pictures of the boys playing with the carrots on Easter.  It was so much fun making them I think I'm going to attempt more veggies soon.  It was so nice not to be rushed to do anything or go anywhere.  So relaxing!

Spent lunch time with the family visiting and enjoying the beautiful weather we had today.  It was a little windy, but Ill take windy over hot any day.

In the late afternoon, I got to watch a little backyard baseball game until the sun went down.  Then I got to finish up another hat I started.  You can't really see in this picture but the bottom is scalloped

Homemade Bunny Ears

I lost track of time and did not schedule Easter Pictures for the boys.  So I decided to try to take them on my own.  A quick trip to Micheal's and I bought a basket (a few baskets actually), and some eggs.  I decided to go for the eggs that look like real eggs.  You can't see it here but they even have speckles on them!  I will easily be able to use them as decoration when we are done with pictures.  The boys seemed to like them they both kept looking over the side of the basket at them. 

I was also able to get some pictures with the bunny ears I made for the boys.  These took me quite a while to finish.  I had to use pipe cleaner to be able to shape the ears.

I found a super easy online photo editer to use.  It was so easy to use it made me feel like a pro!

a fluffy experiment

Isn't this yarn beautiful???  Can someone say MSU??  Check out some of the other colors here.

I've never worked with handspun yarn before, but I've seen so many patterns lately that I just have to try it out!  Look at how adorable these patterns are...

This flower pattern is one of the cutest photo props I've ever seen.  It comes from Inner Hooker

 When I found this avaitor hat I knew it was something I just had to make for Emmett and Everett!  Isnt it just the cutest thing??  Another great one from Inner Hooker

I will soon be placing my order for some of this hand spun yarn... and when I get it in I'm sure I'll spend several nights staying up way to late after I put Em and Ev to sleep to have a little hooking time.  lol I couldn't resist.  She cracks me up with her name.  Who would've thought of that name???  Pictures to come as soon an I've got something new and fluffy to show!

Im hooked on these!

I've been working my fingers off!  There is so many projects I want to complete and can't get them done fast enough.  This is Everett modeling the bunny hat I made for Easter.  It was lots of fun to make, but took lots of time and patience.  It's much harder to find cute things to crochet for boys.  But I found a few things I'll be working on soon for them.  Ive spent lots of hours on Etsy.com looking for anything and everything.  If you haven't played around on Etsy before I highly recommend it.  But I should warn you it will give you the crafting bug!

I love making booties!  Especially these cute little girl booties.  How could you not fall in love with these cute little shoes???  If you are interested in them let me know.  They will fit a little girl 0-6 mon.

I've got that Easter feeling!!

Easter is my favorite holiday of the year!  and its fast approaching.  I want to do something great this year for the boys (even though they wont remember it).  I'm working on my first Easter project and its just about done...

this pattern comes from InnerHooker.bigcartel.com

I also want to get Emmett and Everetts picture taken with some real bunnies!  ... I should probably take Easter week off next year!  So I can spend more time working on Easter crafts!  The colors make me happy!

6 Months!

 WOW! We've made it half a year... Its unbelievable the things Tommy and I have learned and the things Emmett and Everett have learned. We teach them a little and they teach us a lot! Ive been peed on too many times to count and pulled out more boogies then I can cant haha.

Lets recap the last 6 months...

Starting off with Baby A. Mr. Everett Phillip Fruge born weighing 5lbs 8 oz and wearing preemie diapers and clothes. Everett is know wearing a size 3 diaper and wearing 6-12 mon clothing. He has really grown but his personality hasnt changed all that much haha. Even in his ultrasound pictures he didn't want to cooperate and he is pretty much the same way now. He likes to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. He enjoys his belly time now and is already picking his knees up underneath him the beginnings of crawling. Everett has always been a big eater, but lately he has gotten more picky just the other night I gave him a bite of green beans and he made the most disgusted face ever! haha Which totally cracks me up because he loves pickles... How is that possible? That baby has some messed up taste buds. He is also on this kick where he loves to touch faces like he is trying to remember your face. Emmett hates this!

 

and on to Baby B. Mr. Emmett James Fruge was the littlest baby Ive ever seen he was born 4lb 6 oz and had a hard time starting off getting a good appetite, but no worries with that anymore! There hasn't been a food Emmett has turned his nose up at he has seemed to love them all. Emmett has been a ham since before he was born waving in ultrasound pictures and even looking at the camera. He loves to smile at people that talk to him when we are out shopping or at a resturant. A woman actually stopped me the other day and said "He is going to be the one to go get the girls with that flirty smile!" Ha... Ha... Oh no...

 Emmett isnt in a much of a hurry to crawl as Everett he gets around just find by rolling he has really perfected rolling to anywhere I am in the living room and crying at my feet to be held. He is definitely my lovey dovey little boy. Emmett has recently picked up a new habit that just drives me crazy but I cant fuss because its so darn cute. He sticks two fingers in his mouth and sucks them instead of a pacifier.
