23 weeks 2 days of this baby boy belly. Lots to do before he comes!
But lots of fun to pass the time and heat!
*1 trip to Virginia
*1 wedding
*1 camping trip (as of yet)
*two soccer seasons to begin
*My belly seems to have grown significantly this week too...I'm currently 24 weeks 3 days.I haven't sewn much lately... but
I've had a crush on this apple and pear fabric for a long time!
So I was super excited to find it in a retail store! JoAnn's no less! In fact, my sil had told me she saw it there one day and I thought she was thinking of a different fabric. Sorry Amy! I didn't believe her! Anyhow, I made one of these bibs for my new neice last October and a friend's baby girl this spring. Georgia also got a brown blanket with white polka dots on one side and white minky fabric on the other.
The two on the right are burp cloths.
And here's a dipers and wipes case. I made it a bit oversized.
This lemon apron is from last October! I made it for my friend and wish I took some notes. I really love it! I copied a style from Anthropologie and it worked pretty well...except that I don't have smocking abilities so the top is different than theirs. The top edge and bottom by the ruffle is a crocheted lace. The band around the middle and ties at the top are a plain apricot color with the fun green with polkies at the bottom!
And another last fall for my sister!
And another last fall for my sister!
I've started a to do list for this summer...
I need to chart out a calendar...with our trip to VA, motley sibling visits around here, Motley family reuinion camping at Dana Point...I want to schedule some family day trips and weekday field trips.
Tahoe, SF, Fairytale Town, Squirts park, slip n' slide play dates, etc!
but also organinzing school projects, creating new church bag booklets/journals and and am hoping to add some sewing projects...a copy of this apron for me...hopefully a birdie sling for me...and something new for our new baby in the fall(I've recently seen some really cute fabric for boys...geometric with good colors - let's just hope I can find it in the stores! It'll be fun!
Way to go Ryan! Good job in 1st Grade! Mrs. Cern was a great teacher ~ especially for our
transition from one school to another!
And so far to kick off the summer we replaced dead batteries in yearned to be playing with toys...
and went out for Ice Cream!
Ryan got some early birthday presents from Grandma and Grandpa Motley...
And we enjoyed a nice evening with friends and Bob's Famous Tacos! Ryan ate almost three this year!
How cute are these kids???? The ones which aren't mine
are kids of a friend of Scott's since early childhood!
And we had a fun birthday party for Ryan last night! Instead of R2-D2 he requested R4...Obi Wan's droid.
Personally I didn't even know what he was talking about...
but Ryan definitely has his own ideas of how he wants things so that's what he got!
And we had fun with a pinata. I love how any kid in any generation will love a pinata!
Look at the faces of Ryan and his friend and Sean (partly cut off).
Such happiness! After everyone got a turn he and another got to have turns without the blindfold! Scott had a fun time teasing the kids by pulling the pinata up and out of their aim!
For such a busy week it was a fun and rather easy party!

Your cake it amazing--you're a good mom. And yes, pinatas are timeless...who doesn't want to smack the crap out of something and have candy fall out...granted I'm a little more mature now and would prefer money and candy to come out.
Oh Carrie!! I'm seeing the endless sewing projects in our near future!!!! Yes, we WILL make a sling for you (which is also a great size to double as a diaper bag). So when I'm there, lets make some bibs, diapers and wipes cases, slings, and much much more :) I have a pattern for a kid-sized arm chair (think pottery barn) which would be really fun to tackle. There is this super cute argyle fabric that I want to make something for Baby Boy Motley (Kole 'wink wink')! The trick (like you said) will be finding it in the stores. I can't believe you just "made up" that apron pattern... amazing.
Loving your cute little belly, you always carry so well, many women are jealous of you :) Great job on the cake too. I've never heard of R4 either. These are things I will no doubt be learning this summer. Owen too hahaha! Just to help your calender we will be in town from June 30 til July 11. Getting super excited!
Oh so much fun! I love your belly and I love your sewing abilities and your CAKE! So much fun!
Can't wait to see you in 1.5 days!!
Just to clarify... IF Cole... Cole with a "C" not with a "K"... we already have a "K" Motley Boy! ;)
And yes... my wife is BEAUTIFUL pregnant!
~Scott
You are a great-lookin' pregnant girl! Super liking the name Cole if that's on your short list.
You have lots of great talents!
Sheesh Scott! I said Kole because one of Owen's little buddies is 'Kole' not 'Cole'. I like either spelling.
Love Cole. That is what my vote is! YOu have to keep the name a 4-letter just like the rest of the boys. Carrie, love your belly and that it is finally growing! And I like your hair too! I can tell a difference! Love the Leatherby's trip! Yum! I haven't been there in forever! And your cake is amazing once again! Unreal! Happy Birthday Ryan! Make sure you tell him that Uncle Ryan, Aunt Erica, Camryn and Nugget say so! And Camryn even says your name all the time and wants to see your pictures.
I love KCole too-I think we should spell it like that.
I'm tired just reading this post! How do you do it all? The aprons are so cute--incidentally, I made my mom one out of the apple fabric and used the scraps to make a bag for Jane--I love it. And are the ice cream Sundays at Leatherby's? I miss Bart's Black and Tan. I have a recipe for Buttermilk syrup that reminds me of the sauce on the B&T--I keep thinking I need to send it to you:) Have fun in VA and tell Sydney congrats!
