In very deep....


Okay, have you ever wanted to start something new but only to dabble in it?
But, then next thing you know you are head deep?
Okay, I am over here raising both hands in the air and waving them crazy from side to side!!!!!
A few posts ago, I posted some football t-shirts that I started making and oh boy has it went!!! Which is great, don't get me wrong at all!!! I am very pumped and I should not be complaining like I am today! But, sometimes a girl just gots ta vent!
Well, I am lovin' it of course but I think I have surprised myself! I have over 70 bow orders on my desk right now and 10 boy/girl football shirts. (By the way one of the new little girl shirts above). Shout to Channa, your order is being mailed today!!!! Your neice will be the cutest little football chick at the stadium!!! Plus, I am making the "cutest" Halloween shirts and trying to attempt at starting Christmas ones! But, this morning I figured out the stress and where it is coming from....ME!!! Okay, when I place an order for anything I want it ASAP (very bad habit) I know that sounds awful! So, I tend to treat my orders like I would like them.... very quick! I need to give myself a few days to process the orders-oh and my poor sewing machine. Caleb told me yesterday that he thinks it may blow up!!!
So, today I am going to finish all orders YES all of it! And, take off Saturday!!!! Whooo hoooo .... not really!
WE START DANCE TEAM COMPETITION PRACTICE SATURDAY!!!!!
Yes, I am thinking my plate is full of great food and the food is starting to fall off onto the floor! I have four dance to choreograph before tomorrow morning!! Lord, help me please!!! Also, any ideas on music????
The boys of the house are doing great.... I am so proud of Caleb. I met with his teacher last Friday after school and left literally crying tears of happiness (more to that later). Cannon Ty is hilarious... he got bit by another child yesterday at Carla's and it broke the skin-he really ate it up. He walked around last night with his lip out holding his arm up to show everyone. Elliot-gosh I love this man! I am more in love with him everyday-he is just amazing! His offensive kicked MAJOR tail this week (he is an offensive coordinator) major fist bump honey!!!

Football...its OFFICAL!!!

Today, we officially started football season at 7:00 am this morning. We had our family picture for the program first and then the boys and I headed to Chick-fil-A while they finished up individuals and team pictures. At about 9:00 am they were finally able to start. I just wanted to say how awesome this morning was... the smell of wet grass and the beautiful sound of helmets slamming into each other. It was wonderful music to my ears. Okay, I am sure you are thinking oh, she is one weird chick... I am its okay! I just love it!

I wasn't able to take many pictures because Cannon Ty did not get his morning nap (it usually is during the same time all the fun took place) he instead was running everywhere like a mad man. He was so funny though... he kept throwing his arms up above his head for "TOUCHDOWN," every time someone caught the ball and when someone would really lite someone up he would go, "OOOHHHHHH!" Just priceless-we have taught him right as a 16 month old!

I was able to catch my sweet thang of a hubby doin his thang!!! Also, pay attention to Caleb lookin like a coach out there on the scrimmage field-it is habit for him I think. The boys looked okay today- Coach Jacobs said they look horrible and they really need some work????? whho knows...

Lastly, our neighbors house! Caleb and I saw this when leaving early to head to the football stadium and I had to get out and take a picture! Bless their hearts! Elliot said I sure hope they weren't meaning to get us and got the wrong house...it was just too funny and the pic does not do the job justice! It was yarn!!

Come and Get 'Em... Football Shirts!!





These are my newest design..... gingham football shirts!!!! Too cute huh?
I finished Cannon Ty's shirt just in time for our family picture, tomorrow morning at 8:00 am for the football program. Everyone else had something to wear but Cannon Ty. I love it! I am so pumped, they only thing and I will tell on myself really quick... I went to Walmart and got him a 2t-3t shirt size (he is only 16 months tomorrow) knowing it would fit. As you can see in the picture it is very snug in the belly area. So, in a bit after Elliot gets home from football practice I am off to Walmart to buy another shirt in 4t size and start sewing another one. A guy Elliot coaches with has a son smaller than Can Ty so little Mr. Ryan will be receiving this one... happy hornet season Ryan.
I am so proud of my self and lovin the shirt.
I have tons to post about this weekend... Caleb and I had a back to school shopping day by ourselves today. Just a hint, I cried at abercrombie kids....

These Days....

Today, I found this sweet picture of my youngest man! While going through pictures on my computer I came around this precious pic of baby Cannon Ty last summer. It was taken while playing putt putt in Branson on our annual end of summer Branson trip. We are going Labor Day weekend after the Salt Bowl Friday night... let me explain the Salt Bowl. The Salt Bowl is the biggest game of the year... it is Bryant vs Benton (we are in the same town basically) Bryant is way bigger than Benton but it was been a 25 yr tradition to play each other the first game of the season. It is so popular (it is big compeition between benton and bryant people crazy??? of whos better in everything) that we now play this game in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium... same place the Razorback plays!! Go Hogs! Bryant has won like the past 10 years whooo hooooo!
Okay, anway so we are going in a few weeks to Branson-we love it there! So fun!
But, this was taken last summer and I could not believe how Cannon Ty has grown and it is so funny! I can see his personality in this picture and it is him today!

He is 16 months this Saturday, I can't believe it. He is talking ALL the time, running everywhere, climbing in and out of everything, and he loves the pool! He sings the Dell commerical "lollipop, lollipop ohhh lollipop," all day long and then laughs at himself. He loves Mrs. Carla his babysitter and he claps when we pull in her driveway and it makes me smile each time. He does his arms above his head when we yell, "TOUCHDOWN." VERY PROUD!!!! He is saying:ball, bink (passie), juice, snack, thank you, please, bubba, daddy, momma, night night, bye, fish, book, car, out, lollipop and I am sure I have forgot somethhing.

I will post again this weekend, it is Media Day in Hornetland..... we are so pumped!

"2 a-days"

Well, see this little guy above-he will officially take over my life as of Monday morning at 6 am! Notice his jacked muscles.... whoo hohoo... sorry just had to put that out there!

"2 A-Days, " start Monday morning and will last until school starts on Wed., August 19th! This starts the season officially to me, gosh time as flown by and I can't believe this time has rolled around again so quickly. Don't tell my husband but I am kinda excited about getting started on the 2009 Hornet season... do you want to know why? I get my schedule/routine back, we are so much more organized during season. Please don't ask me why because I have not a clue why that is.


So, we spend the next 48 hours having dad (Elliot) to ourselves... we will enjoy every minute of it!
