Lego Play!

Jimmy and I dug out his Harry Potter legos yesterday and had a lot of fun with them! So hard to get up off the floor when you've been sitting there for hours...ouch, had to walk around to get the old age cramp out!:) Also did the Wii for half an hour...love the hula hoop one!

Jimmy made this adorable cottage!


This is the inside of his cottage...sleeping area, fireplace, bookshelves and dining area.

Another angle of the inside....cottage pictures courtesy of Jimmy!:)


Very hard to hold the camera and take a picture!
In the process of our building!:)

Happy Birthday Fuji!

Happy 3rd Birthday Fuji!

Fuji has three birthdays really...April 27 was when she was actually born, June 29 is the day we picked her up, but she was meant to be my birthday present which is July 8! She just gets spoiled three times! Three times the charm right!:)


Fuji with her new toys...Jimmy gave her the stuffed crab and we'd gotten her the squeaky cupcake. Notice how she's looking at Trouble on the side of her eye making sure he's not getting too close to her new toys!:)


My sweet cuppycake puppy!:)

Raining Cats & Dogs Kit!

Woolgirl Sock Club Kit #3!!!

The super duper dog and cat treats included in this kit:

It's Raining Cats and Dogs sock pattern by Kelly Kubicz. Raindrops shawl pattern by Renee Strouts. A dog bone calculator with cute little dog paw buttons..I got pink, yeah! It came in a cute little paw print bag that will be perfect for some knitting accessories. A set of pattern tamers which I've been really wanting to try made by Kelly Black. The most adorable stitch markers by Cathy and Emilee of MD Knits, one dog and one cat, gonna go check out their other stuff because these are just way to cute! Paw print bamboo needle gauge by Karen from Karatstix. An umbrella shaped tape measure. Five dog/cat themed greeting cards to include into your knitting gifts. Eco-friendly mini Euclan wool wash...I've always used SOAK so am excited to try this out. Dog/cat themed stickers and adorable charms throughout the whole package. These packages are always soooo much fun to open! Love them! Just need to get busy knitting some of these kits!:)


1 scrumptious skein of Dream in Color Smooshy sock yarn in the It's Raining Cats and Dogs colorway. I love Dream in Color and have yet to knit it into socks. I've made a couple of Forest Canapy shawls out of it but never socks. This is definitely going to be the socks! Going to order some other colorway to make the beautiful shawl pattern that came in the kit too.

Happy Father's Day!

James and Lila reading books together...she loves to read them over and over!:)

Lila playing beach ball...having so much fun tossing it at James and I....she really likes it when it pushes James over! Fun times!


Dawn and Lila!


Jimmy and Lila playing "food" together. She really liked playing with the birthday cake and singing to the baby I made her! She'd laugh so hard when I pretended to eat it all gone!:)

My Niece!

My niece, Lila, and my brother in law came to visit us this weekend!
She wanted to wear her ballerina outfit today!:)She danced around for me too!

Fuji still doesn't know what this little person is...so she's just going to watch her!:) At least she has stopped barking at her...still barking at my bil though! Found Jimmy's big bucket of Little People for her to play with and she has had a blast with them!


Jimmy gave her one of his bears! So sweet, he's been really good with her. He played ball with her, ring toss game and watched Finding Nemo with her. If he goes out of the room she goes looking for him...."Jimmy wear are you?", so cute! More fun tomorrow....
