Our Crazy Life: December 2012

Christmas gifts.

When I say busy....I really meant busy. This Christmas I made 4 quilts to give as gifts. My fingers, back, neck & arms were tired of sewing.......but I'd do it all again to see the look on everyones face.

First, was my mother-in-law. This summer she gave me boxes of Tim's old jeans and KU t-shirts. She thought I might like to make my kids a jean quilt. Right then & there I knew I'd be making her a KU quilt. We lost Tim back in March to cancer. He & my mother-in-law were together for over 23 years.

She loved it and I loved giving it to her.

I had a few left over sweatshirts of Tim's so I made a quilt for his mom. Goldie just turned 91 this month and she has had a rough 2012. She lost her husband, son Tim, and oldest son, Earl all this year and all to cancer. She is one tough cookie!! She was so overwhelmed with this quilt. I couldn't think of a better gift for someone!!!!

I made two of Matt's Grandmas small lap quilts this year. I forgot to get a picture of one, but they are similar in design just different colors.

State Champs

We have a State Football Champ in the house!

My highschooler just won state in 4A football!!! He has been on cloud 9....that is until basketball started. We are so proud of him.

That's my kid!!!

Trying to block the punt.

Shut Out!!!!

We gave him is letter jacket for Christmas and now I've got to get sewing on some patches!!! He will be getting his state ring later in Jan. What a stud!!!!

November birthdays....little late.

November is a VERY busy month for us. My little family has 3 birthdays....hubby, Kadyn & Cooper.

Kadyn turned 7. He is too smart for his own good. He can be very shy and reserved and the next minute he is LOUD and a trouble maker. :)

He just got a phone call from Grandma & Grandpa Voss. They were singing Happy Birthday to him. He was so excited.

Cooper turned 6 this year. This little man is our risk taker. He is not afraid of anything and will try everything. He is also our orneriest child.

My kiddos. I am one lucky momma!!!

A little behind....ok...very behind!

Well, I am a bad blogger. We have been so busy, like most people, that I haven't even thought about blogging.

What's been going on in our household? Right now it is Christmas Break and my kids are loving not having to go to school. They have been busy playing with all of their new toys and I've enjoyed watching them. We still have one Christmas to go....my side of the family couldn't get everyone together until Jan. 5th. Better late than never :)

Our youngest is now 1 and she is a mover. She doesn't walk she RUNS everywhere. She is a pistol and that is an under statement. She says so many different things and everyday she impresses us with something new. A few of her words: Momma, Dadda, bye-bye, no, thank you, puppy, baby & coopa (Cooper, her brother).
Her birthday in Oct.
