My successful attempt at sewing!

I definitely get my "crafty" gene from my grandma. She is the QUEEN of projects. I always loved it when she would come to visit because she was always into something--from scrapbooking to sewing to decoupaging to trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. That's what I love about her, she's almost 80, but she never stops! I only hope to have HALF her energy when I'm her age.

Ever since I was 14 I have wanted to learn to sew, but everytime my grandma would try to teach me, I would get bored and never finish a project. Yeah, I was a little ADD back then. Actually, I think I still am a little bit :-) I have a bad habit of starting projects and never finishing them. Here lately, I have gotten the bug to learn to sew again, so once again my grandma and I drug out my sewing machine, wiped the dust off of it and ventured into another project. Since I am in the baby mindset right now, I decided to try making a gift for my cousin, Brooke's baby shower last Saturday. I actually sewed an applique that I made onto a onesie and made a nursing cover!

This nursing cover cost $6 to make. It is almost identical to the one that I bought for $36.

Here is me and Levi with the mom-to-be, her husband Kanah, and my great aunt Elouise.

Lorin's graduation

Yesterday we took Levi to my cousin Lorin's HS graduation at the UNT coliseum. She graduated in a class of 750! I can't imagine being in a class that big. My graduating class was only 48! She is off to Baylor this fall. Go Bears!

Levi's first bath

Tonight Johnny and I gave Levi is first tub bath and he surprised us both by actually ENJOYING it! We were both prepared for the worst...10 minutes of nonstop crying and screaming, haha. Here are some really cute pics we took of his tub time :-)

We are having so much fun with Levi! He sleeps most of the day, but likes to wake up at night when mommy and daddy are trying to sleep :-) We are still trying to adjust to life with a new baby, but we are having SO much fun getting to know our new little guy. Johnny has been AMAZING as a dad. It is so much fun watching him with Levi and seeing a new side of him. I don't know how I would do it without his help. Levi had his first dr. appt. last week and he did GREAT! Here are some pics:

More pics of Levi

Levi is doing good! He is 3 days old now and is SUCH a joy. I can't believe how much I love this little guy.

I created a Snapfish account so I could put all of our pictures on the web for everyone to see. If you don't have a snapfish account, they will make you create an account, but it's really quick and easy (and free). You can click here to view the photos.

Baby Levi has arrived!

Levi Gray made his jaw dropping debut @ 1:08 p.m. Saturday May 10th! He weighed in a whopping 8.5 lbs & 19.5" long. Here are some pics of his big day. Enjoy :-)

Levi's nursery is finished!

We finally finished Levi's nursery!! Johnny and my dad painted all of the logs on the wall and my grandma made all of the bedding. Didn't they do a great job?? It turned out way better than what I even imagined. Here are the pics...
