It was a "LOOMY" week!

Nana and Papa Aldridge came to visit for a whole week! We all had a great time!

Nana recently learned how to loom hats and has been working on some for a local shelter. While here on her visit she made 7 hats! She also had the patience to teach me how to loom. I'm "hooked"!

Here's my first hat and here's all you need to do it... plus some yarn.


Here's a pic of Nana in her looming chair and a pic of the boys with their new hats from Nana.


Since Max's birthday is right around the corner, they decided to give him a gift early. He loves it. (And so do we... this toy has made us adults laugh a countless number of times. When you hear it, you'll understand!)


Since the weather was GORGEOUS all week and since the leaves are such beautiful, bright colors right now, we tried to go outside as much as possible. I LOVE THE NORTHWEST!

We also went on a little adventure to downtown Portland to a Chocolate store on 23rd Ave called Moonstruck. It was delicious!

We're looking forward to their next visit!

Max the Model

My friend Katie recently asked if Max would model one of her new creations. I said yes, of course! How could I resist a chance for Max to wear this adorable one-sie! You can find this adorable Necktie One-Sie at KATIE'S KORNER along with many other great creations. Katie's parents recently launced their new website: LDSFabric.com. There are a lot of fun fabrics and many other cute things. Be sure to check it out!

Okay, I know... Max is going through a bit of a rooster phase right now. I'm planning on cutting his mane the next time a have a free minute.
