Regional Wrestling

Jerimiah had a great time at regionals. He didn't place this year but he said that he learned a lot. He did awesome and we are very proud of him!

Friends

Baby Vanessa! Isn't she adorable?!

Melissa and Vanessa

Me and Vanessa

All the girls! (Eli noticed that the girls and boys were even at our house while Melissa was here. Fun for me!)

Natalie and Eli

Sew Sew

Melissa and I made a few trips to the fabric store while she was here. It helps (or doesn't help, depending on how you look at it) that we could walk the two blocks to get there. We made this cute little skirt for Natalie, the top two ruffles aren't finished here, but you get the idea. We took a pair of pants that she had and cut it to make a skirt and covered it with the ruffles. So cute! Then we found a cute bag pattern so we had to do that. Mine is on the left, all the fabric I pick out lately seems to be from the 20's and 30's era. They are reprinting a lot of fabric patterns from then. I love the whole section. Melissa's bag is an Asian print and I love the fabric in that section too! These bags a reversable, but I don't know if I'll ever reverse mine. We'll see. The block and ball are another pattern we found and Melissa picked out the most adorable fabric. Vanessa loved them! They are just the right size for her to get her hands on. Oh what fun! I love sewing and hanging out with friends!

Visitors

Melissa, Natalie, and Vanessa came to visit us for a few days. We had a blast! We had to create some goodies to sustain us over their visit. Eli and Natalie had to help us in the kitchen. We created this cookie-brownie thingie... it was awesome!

Pendleton

Jerimiah did a great job wrestling in Pendleton. I missed his first match, but one of the other mom's told me he got robbed. She said he had the kid pinned a couple of times and the ref never called it. In the third round he was winning 11 to 1 and the kid shot and got Jerimiah down and the ref called a pin. I don't know what happened but it was probably a good thing I wasn't there... I would hate to be the mom that is asked to leave the school. He won his next two matches and did a great job. He's really learned a lot and I'm very impressed with his desire to keep learning.
