Back in Action

Hello there! We have been off in Texas visiting family for awhile, but we got back early (and I mean early!) this morning. I have a ton of pictures to share soon, but today we are recovering from the 4:00 a.m. wake time. While we were away we had a great time and tons of fun. As you can see...some of us had a little more fun that others. It may take awhile to get this guy used to "normal" again after being around so many grandparents, aunts, and an uncle for so long!

Ranger T-Shirt

Well, the American League Championship Series is well under way, and we love our Texas Rangers! Sometimes I feel like we are kinda out of the loop out here in Mississippi, since of course they waited until we moved to go to the playoffs two years in a row. So, since we are missing some of the excitement, I decided Max needed something fun to get in on the action! That walk-off grand slam last night pretty much sealed the deal on the design...

I used my Silhouette SD and the new fabric ink and stencil set. If I did it again I would use the heat transfer material, but I accidentally ordered fabric ink. The ink bled just a little around the edges, and the heat transfer would have looked more crisp. Working with what I have here!


The process was fairly simple. And just as a side note, you can use freezer paper to make stencils. There are lots of tutorials out there, it's cheaper, and it may eliminate the bleed through. Wish I had thought of that!

Taking Pictures

Saturday, my friend Kim and I headed to Memphis for a Chimpsy photography class. We both signed up for their Groupon a few weeks ago, and I'm so glad we did. We learned some fun things about our cameras, and it was nice to have some time to experiment. Here are a few pictures from the day. These are definitely amateur pictures, but I thought it was a really fun area downtown!

Down on the Farm

This morning we took Max to a farm and pumpkin patch outside of town. Grandpa and Aunt Amy are visiting, so they got to join in on the fun. We got Max's picture taken with a baby pig (pictures to come), saw pumpkins, played in the hay, rode a train, and saw pig races and lots of animals. I think Max was more interested in the kids around him than anything, but he enjoyed it. I'm sure next year we won't be able to hold him back!





With Aunt Amy on the train...

What a cute rabbit.
(And Aunt Amy you make a nice chick too!)
