Krista was only 3 days old in the picture in the top left corner. Notice she had on a nightie I made for her, just like the ones I have been making for the girls. (If you double click on the picture, it will get bigger)
 

More nighties

I didn't know if the 1 1/2 year old girls would like the nighties or not, but they were so fun to make, that I couldn't resist making one for them. (I'll have to make one for Abbie when she's a walking girl, crawling and nighties, just don't mix well) I thought if I made theirs a little shorter, they could enjoy being fancy too! I used the very same pattern, just cut them off about six inches shorter. They both look so cute in them! Here's Katie in front of my flower bed, being a little shy.

Here's Aida at her house, she could tell she looked pretty cute!!!

Sleepover and fun in the sun!

My cute friend Carolyn, called me on Saturday, and was cleaning out her fabric. She told me she had some tricot that she didn't think she would ever use. She wondered if I would like to make some little girl nighties out of it. I hadn't sewn for a while, and it sounded like a fun project. I woke up early Monday morning and wanted to get started. I remembered the tricot nighties we used to make, about 30 years ago, and wondered if there was still a pattern out there for them. I googled Juliet nighties, and didn't find anything. I checked several pattern websites on line, and then found a peasant shirt that a gal had made and put on her blog. She had this little drawing of the pattern that I kinda faked and came up with some pretty cute nighties!

Here they are in their new "elegant" princess nighties.

Another shot of them in their new nighties, I invited them all 3 for a sleepover. (I always wonder why they call it a sleepover, not much sleeping goes on!)

I made myself a matching nightie, they are very comfy!

Libbie came up with this great idea, she calls it "modeling" I think it's something like a makeover/visit to the spa! Mike was the one they chose to do it to. It was hilarious. They gathered all the supplies, and the 3 of them went to work. I'm not sure why she brought in the fan, but she had it going full blast as they sprayed him down with water, gave him a foot massage and a new hair do. Mike was such a good sport.

A nice foot massage

A little lotion and spray on his legs

A new hairdo. A few spikes look good, a little gel to help them stand up!

The final touch, a wonderful cape!(they improvised, and used a princess dress for a cape)

Opi, thanks for letting us play "modeling" with you! You look great!

Libbie had swimming lessons at 10:00 this morning, so I took all 3 girls up and Hailey and Molly watched her lessons with me. After swimming, all the moms came with the babies to our house for lunch and a little fun in the water.

A couple of summers ago I bought these cute shirts on clearance. All 3 girls brought cute jeans to wear, so I remembered I had these matching shirts. They love being triplets!

Hailey really enjoyed her water slide that she got from Jamie and Jordan for her birthday

Libbie having fun in the water

Katie got wet before we had time to get her swimsuit on!

Aida loves the water!

Cooling off in the pool on a hot afternoon.

Boyd and DeAnne celebrate 50 years together

Tonight we were able to attend my Aunt DeAnne and Uncle Boyd's 50th Wedding anniversary. There were lots of our family there and it was fun to be able to see them. Tina planned a swimming party and dinner for everyone. (You can click on the collage, and it will enlarge so you can see the pictures)
 

Lots of sleepovers!

This has been sleepover week at our house. We had Hailey and Aida last Friday, then Molly and Abbie on Monday, then Libbie and Katie last night. They were all so nice, and we had a great time with them. I bought this cute tiny little glass tea set the other day, and Libbie LOVES playing with it.

Libbie was a little nervous to let Katie drink out of the tea cup since she is still a baby, but Katie was very careful

Hailey was a big help making pancakes for breakfast when she and Aida slept over.

Here's Aida playing in the playhouse

Abbie loves swinging in the tree.
 

Here's Molly swinging from the rope we hung in our tree
 

Happy Birthday Jordan!

July is definitely birthday month at our house! Today is my babies birthday, how can he be 25 already???? He was such a sweet baby boy, knowing that he was my last, I enjoyed every minute. He didn't sit or crawl quite as early as my other 3 kids, and I can remember my mom telling me that if I would ever put him down for a few minutes, he would probably learn how to do all those things. Here is a picture of him on his 1st birthday.

Here are a few random pictures of Jordan as a little boy. I sure hope
that birthday #25 is a great one, and that he is having fun in DC!!!
