Western Shirt Remix

It all started with this picture on Pinterest

 Which led to the seizure of this old shirt from my uncle

 And after a little remix

 Ended with this little number

I DO plan to make something a little closer to the original shirt but this one had the western yoke that I was trying to somewhat keep in tact because it lent itself somewhat to the style I wanted.

Random Mush Wednesday - Photos By Lucas, Dinner Idea and a Birthday :)

On SUNDAY

I let Lucas take some pictures with my camera the other day.  I was super nervous to hand over my toy but he was very careful with it and of course thought it was so cool! 

He started with her...

...then moved on to me...

...then on to more inanimate objects like the swing-set.... 

...and the 4-wheeler (I actually love this one)...

...and ended with Daddy before I took the camera back since he was getting a little rowdy.

 
On MONDAY

I made these little buggers for Judd's dinner.  They are super easy!  Brown your ground meat and season how you wish.  I used a pound of ground venison and seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and Fiesta's Hamburger Deluxe.  While the meat is cooking, mix up a box of Jiffy Cornbread using the corn muffin recipe.  I added in around 1/2 a cup of BBQ sauce.  Pour the mix into a greased muffin pan.  When the meat is done add in a cup (or more) BBQ sauce and mix together.  Then top the muffin mix with the meat mixture and pop in the oven and bake according to the Jiffy directions.  You can also top with shredded cheese! 

 That night we went out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate my baby sister's 21st birthday!  She is expecting a baby and for her birthday her doctor let her get her ultrasound a few days early.  IT'S A GIRL!  We are all so very excited! 

Her doctor also approved that glass of wine just so you don't think badly of her!  :)

Mud Day May 12, 2011

Now I know what you are thinking..."you let her wear a WHITE dress out in the mud?!"

YES I DID!

And I did it knowing that she would get filthy. And ya' know what?! I didn't care! That's the beauty of using what you have to make clothes for your kids! Her little outfit didn't cost me anything to make so I wasn't worried about. Kids are supposed to have fun playing not having to worry about keeping clothes clean. So anyway on to the muddiness!

Just out of the house...before her first fall

Splish Splash!


Sharing a looksie at the mud

Bubba threw mud at her but she didn't care it was on her face

The mess was worth the smiles!

After they were done I stripped them down to their skivvies on the front porch and carried them in to the bath tub. They both told me that had a bunch of fun.

And the dress? All it needed was a little Resolve and it's still the same pretty white that it was before it's romp in the mud!

Can you name the book that my title comes from?


It's raining here. Everyone is so happy because it's been super dry. It started off as a light rain but since there was thunder and lightening I wouldn't let the kids out to play in it.



The birds were out playing though.



Things picked up so I went back out to take some more pictures. I spent too much time playing with my settings trying to get this picture that I got cold and went back in before getting any other good shots.



Well other than this one of the cat who was not amused by the wet stuff.


Oooo oooo do you see my rocker behind her there. It's in such sad shape right now. I have HUGE things planned for it!!!


By the way the book is Dr. Seuss's Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? My kids love it!
