Quilting Getaway With my Mom!

This past weekend was a great treat!! Josh watched the kids all weekend starting Friday morning and ending sunday afternoon, so I could go with my mom to arkansas and enjoy the weekend working on some quilting projects that I have! I am very greatful to my wonderful husband who watched the kids and did a great job holding down the fort while was gone! Thanks Hunny!!!

I made an apron that I have been wanting to make
I finished marking a quilt that I am in the process of hand quilting..

This is the quilt I am making for my bed. I completed about 20 blocks of the 72 I have to make for the quilt.

This is one of the blocks for the quilt.
This is the other block in the quilt, I finished 18 of these.

Update-Lots of pictures and things going on at the Eaton house!

Alot has been going on since my last post. The biggest thing is that we started a remodel project and that has been an adventure!! Here are some pics of the demo and progress we have made thus far. Both of the rooms we are redoing had plaster walls and one of the rooms had a plaster ceiling, so we got rid of all the plaster. we are putting up Sheetrock and doing laminate flooring!






Next up on the exciting things going on is that RaeAnn lost her first tooth!!


Sophia got her ears pierced yesterday!! she looks adorable!! and the amazing thing is that she didn't even shed one tear and they had to do one ear at a time, instead of doing them both at the same time like they did with RaeAnn when she got hers done.


Another big thing around here is that Josh finally got himself a truck! its a 2000 Chevy Silverado.

Baby #4 on the way!!

I am excited to tell you that I am expecting baby #4 and the baby is due September 22, but I am sure I won't make it that long. I am praying for a healthy baby and pregnancy! We made a surprise trip to the emergency room wednesday night with pain in my stomach thankfully it was only my gall bladder and not something to do with the baby! So I now have to get a ultrasound of my gall bladder and see what they are gonna do about it. I haven't had any more attacks since wednesday, Thank you God!

Happy Birthday RaeAnn Grace!

Today is RaeAnn's 6th birthday. We gave her her present today since it was so nice outside today and her gift was a bike! She is such a sweet little girl and I am so thankful to be her mother! Hope she has a great birthday! Her cousins are here to help her celebrate! Her party with family and friends is tomorrow so I will post more pictures then!

Christmas 2008

I wanted to share about our Christmas this year and I am gonna let the photo's do the talking.

On December 21st, we invited the whole church family over to celebrate Christmas and fellowship. We had around 25-30 show up, it was a great time! Here are some pictures from the evening.

This is a pick of our children singing Happy Birthday Jesus for everyone at the party! It was very cute!


Everyone brought finger food to the party and it was all delicious!

Next on the Christmas list was baking sweets at My moms house on Christmas Eve Day.
Mom made apron's for all 3 kids! I don't have a picture of it, but when I get it from my mom, I will post it! We completely wore Sophia out and she crashed in the rocking chair!
