Sewing and more sewing

I have been busy lately doing some fun sewing. I haven't been

in the sewing mode for quite a while, but look how much fun.

These are some of the cute purses and bags I have made. They

were a lot of fun too.

OK, I am going to try this blogging again. Alison is helping me figure this out again. This first picture is of all the kids on christmas Eve. They had fun wearing their new PJ

These are a few pictures of our cute little cooper. We haven't had to many pictures so I thought I would post a few. He is getting so big and is such a little cutie.

Yes folks they are UTE fans

Baby Cooper is here!

This is our cute little new Grandson. Cooper Richard Harwood. He weighed
8 lbs and was 21 inches long. He was born on Friday morning. As you can see it has been 7 months since I last updated this because the last entry was announcing that Emily was Pregnant and now here he is. I just have a hard time figuring this stuff out. I couldn't get the computer to pull up my pictures. Brent helped me do this one. I'll post more later

Good news from the homefront, Scott and Emily are expecting a baby in Aug. We are excited. Connor is the youngest and he is almost 2 so we need another little baby around.This will make number 10 grandchild. Spencer will be 4 by the time the baby comes so it will be good for him and Joshua to have a baby around. Here is a picture of grandpa with the 3 littlest ones

As you can see Clint and I got a wii for Christmas, boy were we the popular Grandma and Grandpa. Of course we don't get much of a chance to use it, but when we do we really get exercise. We all had sore arms from tennis and boxing.Ben and Joshua boxing it out!

Scott and Emily boxing it out!

It was fun to have everyone here this year and get a picture of all four

Leah was just happy to be there

Kyle is thinking about things for Santa to bring

Connor, not so sure about this

Lauryn didn't want to be there

Jordan wasn't so sure he liked Santa

This was the I like Santa Group

Ready, set, go,

This summer I had some surgery and couldn't do a lot of exercise, so me and the girls decided to start walking at the new sports park on their new walking trail. We put the boys on their skooters and the girls and Connor in the strollers and away we go. It has been fun. Kade even brings a friend.

Lauryn found this cat in the yard,(I think its the neighbors) and she was determined that she was going to catch it and she did.

Joshuas birthday

Must be good cake, look at those faces

It has been a few weeks since I updated this thing. I'm just not very good at this I guess. Not a whole lot has happened. My life if boring compared to Jennifer. It brings back memories of when I had 5 kids in 7 years. So Jen there is a light at the end of the tunnel it's just dim right now.


Joshua had a birthday on Sept 25, so they came down on Sunday and we all had dinner and cake and ice cream. He is now 6 and just started kindergaten this year.
