Linus' tibute to MJ

I got this shirt for Linus when he was about 1. I am sad he is grown out of it :(... Oh but Roman will probably wear it in about 3 months.
Roman is wearing Linus' 12 month clothes (he is 6 months), I think he is going to be Linus' "big little brother."
* Ha ha "Hi Katie" you are in the background.

Linus Brown!

Everyone asks where we came up with Linus' name. Well we just liked it! Yes I first heard it on Charlie Brown, and Linus was always my favorite. He was my favorite because he had a blanky and so did I. So anyways, our little Linus also has a blanky and so we will rarely see him without it.
Above is his 2 year picture with his blanky. So really if his name was not Linus, I bet it would be his nick name.
The other day while at Target I saw this shirt below and I had to get it! So cute! Is that just not perfect? So we had his 3 year picture in it. He calls it his "Linus Brown shirt" ha ha.
Another cute pic. of sweet lil' Linus, just after he turned 3!

"Blow a Bubble Mommy"

Private or Not????

Should I keep this public or private???? I seems as though when I keep it private, no one reads it. So whats the point? However it is safer private, then again what are the odds... So what you guys think? Also should I bring Movie Monday back? Did anyone really read it?

More creative stuffs.

Above is Linus and Roman in their new double stroller! Linus is almost 3 and Roman is 5 months. They love the new stroller, and thank Aunt Holly for bringing it all the way from Arizona to us!

To thank her I made her this little diddy below. It is suppose to be a silhouette of her two kids Gavin and Natalia.
If you have ever wondered what Linus does when I am doing me crazy crafty things, he usually is doing some of his own, and Roman enjoys watching him. Shown below Linus was very proud of his tree and "tuip" a.k.a. "tulip."
I made this for Bella's birthday to hold all her bows and clips.
I got this at the DI for $5. Currently I have been in the market for 2 night stands for our bedroom. Right now we have weird (but cute) end tables with no drawers. I decided the did not have to match exact because I will paint them the same anyways. So this was the first one I found.
Here it is after. I want to put a little curtain there on the bottom where it is open. What do you think? Now I am off to hunt for another one for the other side. Then we are going to re-paint our room eventually.

DI/Garage Sale/ Creative goodness!

Most of you all know how I love to shop at DI and yard sales. I usually walk away with some sweet stuff, that others might think look like junk, but I usually make it my own. I also have a bad habit of telling others how much I paid for my goods. It is just a thrill to spend a dollar on something and then spend another dollar on paint to fix it up plus maybe a half hour than walla! Much better than spending hundreds at Tai Pan for the same thing.
Above is some super cute jars I got at DI and put some yummies in. They were 75 cents each.
Spice rack. DI $1.
DI Wooden thingy $3, made into a diaper caddy. Our house has 3 levels and we need diapers on all 3, so before they were just all over. My friend Katie spotted this one.
Yard Sale $3, this is actually a bread pan, but I made it into another diaper caddy with a bow.
This mirror is hard to see the detail but it is so pretty. DI $3, I painted it an antique white.
DI 75 cents. I spray painted the lid black (it was orange), my friend Katie (and my DI buddy) found this one for me. I needed a cute jar for my button collection. These buttons started out as my Grandma's Grandma's. I love them, I used to play with them as a kid and now Linus does!
More cute jars, DI 75 cents!
DI self $1.50 BEFORE.
AFTER
FREE!!!! I needed a chair for my sewing table (also a yard sale find) and my friend Katie gave me this one that she also got for FREE! Here is the BEFORE pic.
AFTER, I covered the chair. With the help of my friends Katie and Nancy!
DI bowl $1, BEFORE.
AFTER.

I have much more to come so I will take photos when they are all done and post them! Thanks to my friend Katie for giving my some new insights!

What we have been up to...

Hello hello! Sorry I have really been lacking on the blogging. Since I can't post all my back posts here are a bunch of random photos of what we have been up too.

Memorial Day, at grandpa Paul's grave.
Our good friend's we have made from around the corner have a cutie Linus' age. They were over at our house and Linus and Lila disappeared and we found them up on our bed and Linus has turned the TV on.
Linus loves watching cartoons with "Ja ja" and "Pa pa" on Pa pa's bed.
Linus and cousin Diana.
Sweetheart Roman, he is 4 and a half months old now and keeps me very busy. This is why I have not updated in forever.
Linus loves reading to Roman and Roman just laughs.
Linus, Lila, and Sophie playing in the pool.
Lila, Linus, and Sophie playing at Sophie's house.
Thanksgivingpoint farms.
Feeding the goats, Linus would only put my hand up to the goat but not his.
He loved the ducks.
Roman at his 4 month apt. Linus started to cry when he knew Roman was going to get shots, so we had Linus hold Roman's hand. He was so sweet with him and kept asking him if he was OK. Linus loves his brother.
Linus and Elijah playing at grandma's.
Linus and Roman in matching jammies.
Linus and Dad planting the garden. Linus is super excited watching the garden grow and can't wait for the pumpkins!
