Still working on the twins!!!

Another busy weekend!!!!
Jacob had a basketball tournament. This was his last one!! I think basketball may be over! Im not sure though because he tried out for a traveling team so I guess we will wait and see, not sure if he will make it, he's 4th grade & he tried out for a 5th & 6th grade team!!
Anyway, full force into baseball, softball & volleyball now!!!!

Finally had a chance to do some work on Jaxon & Jordyn!!! Hoping to finish it soon!!!

UGGGHHHHH!!!!!
I have been sick!! I am finally starting to feel better!! I haven't cross stitched since Thursday! Hopefully I will be able to sit down and stitch tonight!!
Hope everyone is feeling good!!!

Sunshine!!!
I see sunshine! I love seeing the sun!!! Hope spring is on its way!! Have a great day!!

Im cruising on my niece and nephews picture. Starting on page 3 already!!

I got a new phone!! I love my blackberry but I wanted some apps! I got the Droid Pro!! I didnt stitch much this weekend because I have been trying to figure it out! I still dont have it all worked out! I know my nieces, daughter & friend & I are all addicted to playing scrabble though!!!!!

Jacob had a basketball tournament all weekend! They came in 4th place. He had 64 points in 4 games! He played the best I have ever seen him play!!
I got some knitting done in the car on the way to ball. I am cruising on my brother in laws sweater!! I hope to have it done soon!

The sun is out!!!! It is so good to see the sunshine!! I hope it melts all this snow!!

I made some accessories for my sons ball team, now they all want one!!! I'm tired of making "F"'s!!!!

I have also been working on a pair of fingerless gloves that a friend & I are doing in an online knit along, a sweater for my brother-in-law & I am starting the final picture of my niece & nephew for my remaining brother & his wife! They will soon all have a cross stitched picture of their kids!!

Super Bowl!!
None of our teams where in the bowl this year! We really didnt care which team won, we just wanted a good game! I do have to say that I am happy that the Steelers lost!!! Go Bengals!!!

Cheesehead Jacob!!
