My new "thing"




I am not bored by any means. I bake, quilt, paint, craft etc... but for some reason I felt I drawn to a pattern that was given to me. Here it is. My new "thing". Making bags. This is my favorite so far. The brown fabric is vine-ey looking but is actually little swirly sqirrels. It looks nothing like the pattern. What can I say, I have always had to add my own touch. (That means I don't like to follow directions!) I like it. It was a gift for Sherron. She loves nature-ish stuff. I think I will play with it a bit and see how it does at the McCall craft show.
Todd is going to LOVE having MORE bags in the closet! He has already been reduced to less than a third of a 117 sq ft. closet!!
What?!? A girl needs her bags! (and shoes!)
Let me know what you think! Any suggestions?

Tyrus James Moyer







Cute, huh. This is Ty. This is the reason I shampooed my carpets not once but twice yesterday. The reason we have to make sure none of the words we use even end in "..uck", "..it", etc... The reason we have to remember never to never hide easter eggs in a tailpipe. The reason two rows of my garden won't grow. The reason the word "optional" was invented, as in 'underwear optional', 'bath optional', the reason I get up early (partly to get one step ahead, partly to see him groggily walk down the stars and smile when he wakes up!). The reason fathers hope for sons. The reason sisters hope for brothers. The reasons moms love their babies.

The Slammer

Today we went to the Old Idaho Pen. Ty loved it. I am a little concerned! He was eager to go into every cell. He kept interrupting the tour guide saying "lock it!". Lexie was a bit more reserved. It amazes me how crazy little boys can be. Touching everything, climbing everything, poking anything with a stick, kicking dirt, spitting etc... And how different girls can be. This was definitly an outing geared toward Ty. Maybe next time we will have a tea party;) Poor Lexie. Todd and I really like camping, fishing etc.. Ty has caught on really quickly. Lexie is more of a 4 Star hotel girl. She is a good sport and tags along, though! Check back for our next adventure!
