Market Festival @ Beech Cumberland

So yesterday (May 30) my little sister Morgan and me set out on an adventure. My first booth since July 3, 2008! We went to Beech Cumberland Presbyterian Church for their annual Market Festival. We got there just after 7am to set up and didn't get back home until after 4:30! Wow, what a day! But God blessed us with great weather, smiling faces, and some business. We weren't "busy busy" but had enough sales to make the day worthwhile.........

Of course while I was away from my little man (the first day I have left him for longer than an hour or two!) he decided to roll over for the FIRST TIME! I missed it! He hasn't done it since, but still I was a wee bit disappointed! Ahh....those are the breaks huh? But anyhow, here's some pics of our lovely set up. We had a great looking booth with some good looking merchandise to sell!

A RaINy DaY KiNd of CrAFt!

It's raining outside......I am stuck in here with 2 kiddo's. A newborn and a toddler. My newborn could careless if we are inside, outside or upside down.......as long as he is dry and fed, he's happy. Maekayla on the other hand.....NOT so easy to please! My head says "put in a movie, pop some popcorn and we can just chill"......my momma gut says that is not productive nor educational or imagination provoking. SO I got on the internet and cruised for something fun for us to do together.......here's what I found!!!!

Cupcake Tin Crayons!

First, you need broken (would've thrown away crayons) or just break up some crayons. Since I am pretty anal about going through our crayon stash regularly, we didn't have too many broken ones, Mae just won't use them once they break! LOL!

Spray a muffin tin with some cooking spray.....lightly. I even took a paper towel and wiped them out a little to make sure there was no excess.

Then start filling up the tins (1/2 to 3/4 way full) with like colored crayon pieces. We even mixed a few for special effect! ie.....orange and red with hints of white

Cook them in the oven on about 200 degrees for about 30 minutes or so. You want them to turn liquid BUT do not mix them up or shake them up. This will hurt the swirling of the various colors.

Allow them to completely cool and turn the pan upside down. If they are stuck, simply bang on the bottom of the pan and they should release. Otherwise use a small paring knife to release the edges.

Whaa-laa......really cool crayons to color with for the afternoon! The swirl ones, color funky too!!! We loved this and are planning on doing it again, SOON! These would make a fun playdate activity, birthday favors, you could use pans with mold shapes........the possibitlies are endless!

Found a new blog today.......

I found a great new blog today! So inspirational to read and such a heart touching journey for such a God fearing family!

Happy Mother's Day!

I love this little dude!

My beautiful family!

Logan and his godparents.....

Mom loved her new gardening hat Maekayla gave her!

For Mother's Day, we all went to mom's house after church for some lunch! We had some great food (Thanks for the ribs Don!), some good laughs and got some fabulous pics of the day! I think I love mother's day more and more.......I always loved my mom and knew she loved me. However, I NEVER could've imagined how deep that love really is......until I myself became a mother! I know that my calling in life is to be a MOM! It's the greatest job I have ever had, and I feel so blessed that God has entrusted me with 2 of His perfect children!

My kiddo's!

Logan at about 7 weeks old.

Day at the Park......

We ventured out for an afternoon of fun with my friend Aimee and her 3 boys! Maekayla fed the ducks, we played on the slides, the swings and in the dirt! She loves her "boys" and has a blast when we all go out together. Here's a few cute pics from our day:

Happy Birthday Maekayla!

Maekayla turned 3 on March 29th! She's growing up so fast! Happy Birthday Baby! Mommy loves you more than life itself!

Logan gets admitted to the hospital.....

I took Logan for his newborn check up on March 24th. He was looking a little "yellow" but nothing that caused concern for the doctor. I thought his eyes were golden so we agreed we should test his jaundice level to be safe. They said if I didn't hear from them with the results that night to just call in the morning. Well at midnight, the pediatrician called me and had me bring Logan straight down to the hospital to be admitted. I was so exhausted from no sleep anyways that it didn't really sink in until I saw them put him in the "billi bed" and tell me I couldn't hold him for the next 24 hours minimum! Then they said I couldn't breast feed so I will have to use a pump........AND Tony had been working 18 hour days so I left him at home sleeping with Maekayla and went on my own! Needless to say I had a nervous breakdown being there all alone and mentally drained! I did good to wait until that morning to start calling my family to let them know where I was. It was a long 36 hours.......28 of which I couldn't hold my new little man! I had to feed him, change him and love him in that bed, under those lights! It was heart breaking and seemed never ending to me!

Logan's Here!!!

On the night of Wednesday March 18. We had just finished watching the "American Idols Results Show"........when I thought I was having contractions again. I had been having them off and on for about a week so I didn't get too excited. At around 10PM I thought my water had broke, but wasn't really sure. My water never broke with Maekayla so this was all new to me since I was induced with her. After about 15 minutes of wondering about the water and the contractions......It became EXTREMELY apparent that I was definatley in labor! I couldn't even talk! My contractions were 2 minutes apart and were pretty much on top of each other with no rest in between. Tony scooped up Maekayla and we were off to the hospital. Tony drove like a maniac to get us there! He had on the flashers and was running red lights and every time he hit the gas or breaks......I was gushing fluids! Thank God I have leather in the Tahoe! Once we got to the hospital, Megan was already there to help us with Maekayla and to lend a loving hand of support! That girl is my ROCK! Maekayla was wide awake at this point! I was dialated to 3 on Tuesday at my doctor's appointment........at 11:30 when they checked me I was at 5. I was praying and begging for my epidural at that point. Once you hit 7, there is no chance of pain control! I admire the women who go all natural.......BUT I am clearly not one of them! About 12:30 I finally got my drugs and upon "reinspection" they found I was completely dialated! This was HUGE for me because it took 12 hours to fully dialate with Maekayla! This was going much much smoother! I was very excited to have Maekayla be a part of this and she was a trooper and she stayed awake until about 3 am! I started pushing at 4! By 4:52, we had a beautiful baby boy! Another HUGE deal for me because Maekayla took 2 hrs 51 min to push out! Logan came much smoother! They did cut my epidural in half and so I felt what I was doing much better than with Maekayla......I really think that helped. Maekayla woke up just as logan was born and was very excited to see what was going on....... Her first reaction was " I think him is sad....I think him wants his mommy and him's daddy"--priceless! And so we became a family of 4!
