Family Reunion and other things...

Family Reunion

Saturday, the 23rd, we had a Family Reunion on my dad's side of the family. We went to Niagara WI where my Grandma and Grandpa live. It was probably the last time we are going to have one there because as soon as they can, they are going to move to Green Bay. Here are some pictures of when we were down there :)

Hi everybody!!  I have 2 very exciting things that I'm very happy to tell you about...

1. my brother Joel and his wife Lydia are expecting!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We are all VERY excited about that!!  I think it'll be a boy :).  The names they like are Thomas or Evan for a boy (both of their dad's names are Thomas) and Janae for a girl.  I am so happy!!!!!!!

2. my sister is engaged!!!!  Her fiance, Andy Anderson proposed to her last Thursday on Valentines Day!!  We are all SOO happy for them!!!  We are going to go dress shopping this week to find her a Wedding Dress!!  :D :D :D

So happy for them all!!

I made a hat!!

Hi everybody! Guess what? I made a hat!!!! It was my first one so it has A LOT of flaws, but it's pretty cool!  Here are some pictures :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these pictures were taken by a phone so they're not the best quality :/

 

 

 

I also made some pajama pants!!  (with the help of my sister-in-law Jessie :)).  Sorry the picture is sideways though! :/.  They are SUPER easy to make!!  Click here to see Jessie's blog where the pattern is. :)  I think that I'm going to make another hat this afternoon...hopefully it will be a little bit better!!!
