My Favorite Things in August

Here are my favorite things in August.

My birthday and my awesome gifts!

My awesome new light fixture!

Knitting-of course but that's always on my favorites list.  Maybe because I'm making a little extra cash knitting for some of my coworkers.  I have to say having a yarn swift and ball winder is awesome! (Another birthday gift).

And last on my list this month (but not the least) is my wonderful husband.  I've been realizing that not everyone has a husband as amazing as mine-if only everyone was so lucky.  We can talk about anything and everything, he empties the dish washer just because he knows how much I hate doing it, and he lets me sleep in on the weekends because he knows that I spend the week getting up before the sun does. He even supports my running habit-watching Logan when I head out to run.  These are just some of the things that he does for me that make me truly happy-love you baby!



On My Needles

I've been knitting up a storm lately-I even took the whole week off from running so I could finish a couple of things.

The first project is a sweater that I made for a coworker's fourth(!) baby boy.  It was the first sweater I've ever knitted and I think it turned out pretty good.

The second project is a football hat made for another coworker.  She found a crocheted hat  really similar to this and wanted it as a gift for her friend.  Since I've made this one I've been commissioned to make three more :)



My Birthday

I absolutely loved my birthday gifts this year!  I've always hated the light fixtures that came with our house and I just so happened to be looking at some online and found one for-wait for it....$99!!!  It's fabulous and I absolutely love it!  (I can't say it's my favorite present because three years ago-we found out we were pregnant and bought a house all around my birthday and four years ago I bought a car-but it's definitely a great present!)

Now we just need to buy five more fixtures and we'll be done :)

Another gift I received was this AMAZING birthday cake from Jared's coworker Erin.  I think it's the most delicious cake I've EVER eaten.  And it was so pretty!

Two more presents that I bought with my birthday money are two things that I've been wanting since I started knitting-a yarn swift and a ball winder.  These two things will save me tons of time!!

It was such a great birthday!



Logan's Beloved Truck

Grandma and Grandpa Scott gave Logan the cutest little truck-it has become one of his favorite things.  Since our driveway is sloped it's kept at their house. He loves this truck so much he cries when we put it back in the garage. Here are some pictures of him driving around in it.



Laundry Day

Most of my days off are usually filled with cleaning and laundry-this day was no different.  Logan loves to help and he loves to watch the washer fill up with water-so here he is sitting on the dryer "helping" me do laundry.

Future Architect or something else?

Logan loves to build things.  Whether it's a house or a castle for his dinosaurs or a garage for his cars he loves to build it-he also loves to destroy it.  It makes me wonder what he'll be when he grows up.  I'd love it if he'd pick something that would be able to support him and his family and wouldn't take up all of his nights, weekends and holidays.  So whenever I see him building something I think how exciting of a career that would be.

Whether he's an architect or a contractor...

 

or a janitor-I'll love him just the same.
