Happy Birthday Bubba!

Our lil middle man turned 4 yesterday. He had a fun time with cousins as we also had a family party going on that day. It's been so fun to watch our Bubba grow into the funny guy that he's become. I'm sure he'll be "hilarious" when he's a teenager. As mentioned in previous posts, I'm never sure if I should laugh or cry or scream (or all of the above) with this guy, but at the end of the day when I kiss him goodnight, one thing is certain, I'm sooo very happy that he's a part of our family! We love you Bubba!!

I just want to share a few of the things Austin "Bubba" accomplished before he turned 4..it'll be fun for him to read if and when he ever comes across this blog when he's "all grown up".

Bubba Highlights 2008
He became a big brother when his lil bro Henry was born.
He started Cloverbuds pre-school (and LOVES it, I might add).
He decided he wanted to wear "big boy" underwear! (my favorite highlight)
He's learned how to snap! (just ask him, he'd be happy to snap & do a jig for you.)
And last but not least, he's decided he wants to take a turn praying (eyes open and looking around mind you, but hey, it's a start right?!)

Another Fun Contest...

Why is it I will hurriedly blog about a contest but not about what's going on with me and my family?...because I like contests..that's why..pure & simple. I'll try to think of other interesting stuff to post on, but for now, go check out The Contest. It's all about winning some beautiful Fat Quarters designed by the lovely Lila Tueller!

"What?" you say, "That Ardis is not a quilter so why does she care?" Who says I'm NOT a quilter..have you SEEN my amazing skills? Yeah, that's what I thought...I have yet to hone those skills but just y'all wait...one day (probably in Heaven), I'll be great at it! Until then, I'd love to pretend...and it's fun to do just that at this new nifty site I found: Moda's Fabric Matcher . So enjoy my bloggy friends, or not....either way, I still got an entry! Hehehehehe!
