Pixie Power Photo of the Month

As you have seen, I like to randomly post cute photos of my little pixie chick. Usually the random photo has nothing to do with anything except her being full of super cuteness. So I have decided that I should just have a pixie power photo of the month. So here is my photo for May.

And you are probably wondering why since it is May 31, did I post a photo for May. Well, my answer is BECAUSE! No, just kidding. My answer is because it was my favorite photo taken in May. Now I have a whole month ahead to take an adorable photo for June. Not that it will take that long to get an adorable photo of her, that's a pretty easy task!

Memorial Weekend

I hope everyone had a fantastic and safe Memorial Weekend. We had a very relaxed weekend at home....just the way I like it! We had a camp out in the backyard. The Gurranimals really enjoy doing that. And I love it because there is NO planning and NO packing involved! We set the tent up, drag out the fire pit and there ya go...instant camping trip!

Saturday morning I woke up early and went for a bike ride with Jennifer....Hi Jenn! It was such a great bike ride, we rode 20 miles....woo hoo! I can't wait for next Saturday, we have a standing plan to ride every Saturday morning. I ride my bike just about every night, but I don't have the time during the week to devote to riding like I want to. I only average about 8 miles a night during the week. So weekends are awesome and I hope I can continue to do 20 miles every Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday we had some dear friends spend the afternoon with us. Sadly this will be the last time we get to hang out with them for a long time. They are moving away to Colorado. We haven't had many opportunities to hang out with them, so we made the most of our last chance. They brought Spike with them, I was so happy to see him. Spike was my baby for about 3 years. But when Liam became mobile, he picked on the poor dog. He stole Spikes food for snacks...YUCK....he drug him out of his doggy bed and would lay in it himself, they licked each other...DOUBLE YUCK! They just were not a good match. So to save poor Spike, we sent him to live with our friends....where he is the happiest dog on the planet! So it was really nice to get to visit with Spike before he moved away.

This is handsome Spike.

So we spent our day relaxing out in the backyard, we ordered pizzas and when the sun went down we roasted marshmallows in the fire pit. The kids had a blast. I haven't transferred the photos to the computer yet, but as soon as I do I will post them.

So that just leaves today. Not much went on today....mostly because I am pooped out from sleeping in the backyard for two days! I did get up and ride my bike though. I had to take advantage of Papa Bear being home! So I went out and rode 13 miles. Came home did some chores, made dinner and then went back out and rode some more. I rode 23 miles today! Loved it! But now I am worn out from our "relaxing" weekend and it is time for bed.

Goodnight!

Getting around to it.

Ok so I am finally getting around to posting some more photos of projects I have been working on. I haven't had a lot of time lately to work on my to make list, hopefully I will have some time once summer vacation starts for the kids.

Here are some diaper inserts I made for the Pixie Chicks cloth diapers. I love these because it makes rinsing out solids much easier, I don't have to dunk the whole diaper. And they are so soft on her bum, they are made out of super soft flannel. I made about a dozen of these.

These are part of a gift for a special someone...can't say who in case they read this blog! It is a set of matching burp clothes and bibs. I love the fabric I used, and the shabby edges I left on them. So cute!

This is another gift for the same person who is getting the bibs and burp clothes. I wish you all could see this rag quilt in person, you can't see the adorable bunny toile in the photos. I plan to make a matching tote to go with this.

So that's it for now.

Happy Mother's Day

I hope all you Mommies out there had a fabulous day today! I started my day off with a nice 8 mile bike ride and enjoyed the beautiful weather at 9 AM. It was a beautiful day today.

This is my super cute Electra Cruiser. And of course it is pink!

When I came home from my bike ride my wonderful husband made me breakfast. Then I spent the day with my family. My parents came over to visit and I made everyone a yummy dinner. We had vegetarian tacos, chili rellenos stuffed with corn, onions, soy meat and topped with homemade red chili sauce, refried beans and salad. YUM! And for dessert we had homemade strawberry popcorn balls. Thinking about it is making me hungry. After dinner we went for a nice walk. But thinking back to all that I ate, I probably should have gone for another 8 mile bike ride!

Since when do bunnies lay eggs?

Ok, so this post is really late but better late than never! The following photos are from Easter.

Do bunnies get any cuter?

This one certainly comes in a very close second! This is Ellie Mae, she's the newest edition to our family.

She is such a sweet little bunny, and oh so spoiled!

Here is the Pixie Chick with a bunny she made friends with on Easter, his name is Hans. He belongs to a friend of ours. How adorable can two creatures be?! I am not sure who weighs more though, Sid or Hans!

Looking adorable in her skull top I made for her.

The Gurranimals, after their egg hunt.

Skulls and daisies

I am trying to catch up with project photos....even if it is one at a time. Here is a dress I made for the Pixie Chick, one of her b-day presents.

And here is the matching mini-tote bag.
