Hog Apparel

Are you ready to "Call Those Hogs?" I love football season and absolutely love the Hogs! I looked online and in stores searching for the perfect shirt for the games and was left slightly dissapointed. I wanted something different, yet simple and did not want to pay what they were asking for some of these shirts! I love my hogs, but come on! So, I decided to create my own. It was so much fun making this shirt... AND I LOVE IT!! I have had several people loving them too so I am offering them to everyone!!









Here is what I have to offer:

You choose the font that you like, the color of font, the saying (such as Go Hogs, Razorbacks, or just Hogs), bling or no bling, the color of shirt(white, black), and the length(short sleeve or long sleeve). If you have a shirt that you would like to use, you can mail me your shirt, or for those of you that live closer, you can just give me a shirt that you want to use!

I can do all sizes from babies to adults. For children and babies, I like to add a little more spunk to them. I usually will add a funky ribbon and bow to accent the shirt!

The possiblitlies are endless so if there is something you are wanting I have a feeling I can create it!

The prices for short sleeve shirts are 15.00
Long sleeve shirts are 20.00
Infant onesies are 10.00-12.00 depending on detail
Childrens are 12.00

Thanks so much and if you are interested you can either message me on here or email me at sarahmichelleward@yahoo.com

Bath time fun!

The girls love bath time. Alyssa asks at random times throughout the day if she can take a bath. She loves taking bath's with her sister, but really loves it when Bella gets out so she can have bubbles! I was so excited when Bella was able to take a bath in the tub without that silly little bathtub. Yet very necessary while they are infants, so exciting when you can toss that bulky thing and take a "real" bath.

I love how sweet and innocent the girls look after their baths. There is nothing like the combination of the sweet smell of shampoo and baby lotion on the girls. And, there is nothing as sweet as this!!

I love these two girls sooo much! They are growing way too fast for me to handle, but we are enjoying every second of them!

Time's a tickin...

So Alyssa is 3 and started her first day of preschool today! She has been in a mother's day out and somewhat of a preschool last year, but she is officially in preschool now!! We started a new school this year and Alyssa loves it. She was so excited to go to her "New School" until we pulled in the parking lot! They have you drive through a line and they very nicely take your children out of their carseat and bring them to the gym for welcome time. To her benefit, she did not know the lady that came to the car nor did she want to know the lady that came to the car! She proceeded to scream and cry and throw a terrible fit until 2...yep...2 other sweet ladies had to come out and drag her off! So, in the pouring rain I left her this wonderful, first day of preschool!

I left feeling bad for her and feeling mad at her that she did that to me. I was so embarrassed. There was a long line of other moms dropping off their precious, and oh so excited children and the last thing I wanted to do was hold up the line cause "MY child" did not want to cooperate and act human like!! BUT, I forgave her shortly and missed her so much. I was soooo ready to pick her up today. She came to the car and immediately said, "Mom I need a lunch box!" "I need to stay and eat lunch with all my freinds and they eat their lunch in a lunch box!" I said, "did you have fun?" She said "Yes!" "Can I go back next time and always stay for lunch bunch?" I knew she would love it!! She also told me she DID NOT cry when I dropped her off and in fact she had no idea what I was talking about! Hmm....

So here is my little stinker on her frist day of school!! (I know it is not winter time! She wanted to wear the whole suit...jacket and all. Plus, it was raining!)

Right when she woke up. Getting ready for breakfast.

Such a stinker!! Loves to be silly:)

Terrible...

Yep...that's me! Terrible at blogging! Man I feel like I have missed out on so many good blogging opportunities lately. Usually I feel as if I have nothing interesting enough to blog about. No one really wants to know what we did today....I mean, do they? You know I have decided as boring as we may sound, I want to take note of everything we do as a family and everything, little or small, that the girls are doing or saying! Alyssa is one funny kid and I never want to forget her humor and the things she says that just make me belly laugh!! So, I have decided my new goal is to blog 2 times a week! I know that does not seem like much, but after realizing it has been over a month since my last post I think this is a GOAL for me!! I get so busy and too much time passes by and I know everyone misses hearing from me!! So..here's to blogging more!

Stay tuned! I think I am going to post again today!!! Let's see if that actually happens:)

Road Trip With The Girls!!

I am so proud of these 2!

We just got back from a wonderful family vacation. We went to Pensacola, Fl this past week and had a great time. We could not decide what time we wanted to leave with the girls and ended up leaving at 11:00 pm on Thursday night. We put the girls to bed at their normal time and got them out of their beds and put them in their car seats. This was by far the best way to travel with little ones. They slept all night and did not wake up till we had about 45 minutes left of the trip. It only took us 10 hours to get to Pensacola. There was no traffic driving through the night and you could push the limit just a tad!! :)

We went with a huge group. It was my mom, step-dad, his kids and their significant others, my brother and his wife and their little girl and her friend, and another family that are long time friends of my step-dad. It was a great group and we had a great, relaxing trip. Ate some great food and had a wonderful time!

While we were there, Alyssa started officially swimming all by herself. No floaties or anything. She is like a little fish. LOVES the water and always has. She jumps off the diving board, the side, wherever and just swims all over the place. Under water, on top of water...you name it! We are so proud of her! She is so proud of herself. You ask her what she learned on vacation and she gets so excited and says, "I swim with NOOOOOO floaties!" She is so dramatic!!
She is growing up way too fast but we could not be more excited for her that she can now swim by herself!!

Here are a few pictures from the week!






What a stinker!

Daddy and his little girl!

I love this man!


We ARE one goofy family!!!

The Lord's Amazing Blessings...

We have always known the Lord is good to those that love him. He has shown himself faithful to our family, time and time again. So last week we noticed that our front tire on the Tahoe was really worn on the inside. The rest of the tire looked brand new (well, they are) but the inside of the tire was really worn. Matt decided he was going to take it to the dealership where we purchased the tires to see what was going on. They took a look at the tire and other tires and noticed the wear on all 4 tires. We had only had the tires a year so there should be no problems, right? The person that we have been paying to rotate and balance the tires had not been doing their job so right then and there we had to replace all 4 tires. As you all know tires are not cheap. Especially on a SUV. But the Lord allowed us to get the tires and we felt blesses that we noticed this before we left and now our car is ready to go on our trip!

WELL, at least we thought so! So Sunday I am heading out after church to make my weekely wal-mart run and I start up the tahoe and head down the driveway. I notcie the car is not wanting to go. Matt took it for a drive and he said it felt like the transmission was messing up. So he took it in on Monday to get it looked at. He ended up having them do a few other things to the car to get it ready for our trip. When Matt came back to pict up the car the service manager said, "You're taken care of!" He handed matt the bill that was 1200.00 but said he did not owe a dime. We were just overwhelmed! That is a lot of money for someone to just "take care of" for us. No one, but the Lord, knew we had taken our car to the dealership to get worked on. We felt so blessed that the Lord would choose us to bless in that way! It was a huge blessing for us and a major relief to not have to pay 1200.00.

The Lord paid our debt on the cross and he chooses to pay our debt throughout life too. He has blessed us in so many ways, but this one was the most recent and I could not help but share it! Trust in the Lord and he will always provide in one way or another to those that love and serve him!

Aren't they precious?!?!

Here are a few pictures of the girls! Bella is now 6 1/2 months and crawling all over the place. Alyssa is 3! Wow where did time go?
