Sewing Machine Problems??

If you need a part to your sewing machine I would highly recommend using Discount Sewing Machine. I ordered my foot controller to my Brother machine and had it within a couple of days. The belt for my old Kenmore was a little more difficult, but John the owner of Discount Sewing Machine was very kind and helpful. He sent me a belt that he thought would work and then wrote me a note to let him know if it was the wrong one. The belt didn't work so when I emailed John back with a picture of mine he asked me to send the old belt to him and within a week I had a brand new belt that fits perfect along with a nice note from John.

I am so pleased with the service I received from John who is all the way in Texas. I will definitely be contacting him in the future if my machines decide to act up again. He has lots of parts to many different types of machines. John has drawings of each picture in case you don't know the technical name of the piece you are looking for. So, Thank you so much John for you personal service and for fixing my 2 sewing machines and for making me one happy person!

Best Buds

My son Jace is 3 1/2 and my grandson Anthony just turned 2. Anthony lived with us until he was 18 months or so and then I babysat him until the end of June. Jace and Anthony have become best buds. They place so good together. Last night Anthony spent the night and they were so cute playing together. Jace is explaining things to Anthony, they sat and looked at a Barney book together, the two of them were sitting on the couch under a blanket watching t.v. and then when we laid down Jace had his arm under Anthony's head and Anthony was snuggled into Jace. It makes me so happy to see the boys so close and play so well together. I hope this friendship that they have now will remain and develop to an even stronger friendship over the years.

Best Buds!

This makes me Happy!

Pictures that Make This Momma Happy!

These are just some photo's that the kids have taken over the last month that when I look at them they just make me smile.

Lexie trys so hard to keep Anthony clean.

She is such a great mom and that always makes me smile!

My Jace has finally come out of his shell and has become a very funny guy!

My grandson kissing Amber's belly because their is a baby in there.

Congratulations Amber and Tucker!!

I love seeing my older boys spend time with my younger kids. They don't get a lot of time to spend with them, but when they do they make the most of it.

This is Chad with Ezie and the one above is Jesse with Ezie.

These pictures just make my heart melt!

(except I thought you quit smoking Chad?!?)

I'm Old, BUT I'm Not Dead!

I know I'm getting older and I love Earl very much, but there are some people that are just very appealing to the eye. Here's a few men that I think are pretty darn appealing!

This is Handy Manny from his show on the Disney Channel. Handy Manny is a very sweet repair man who's tools talk to him and help him with his daily jobs. BUT, have you seen the man behind Handy Manny??

Handy Manny's voice is done by Wilmer Valderrama.

Wow! Besides having a really nice voice he is so cute!!!!

Then Simon Baker who plays Patrick Jane on CBS's The Mentalist has the cutest smile I have ever seen! I love the show and his smile just makes me happy!

I can't do a post of "appealing" guys though without a picture

of my all time favorite movie star

Johnny Depp!

He has the nicest eyes and of course, he has a great smile too!

Okay, I have to get busy now. I have sewing and housework to do and I have to spend time with Jace, one of my favorite little guys!

Things That Make Me Feel Happy Today!

We have had a really, really bad time at our house the last few weeks and so I've decided that today I am going to focus on the good things in my life.


My little guy Jace all the sudden decided a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to go potty like a big boy and not wear diapers anymore. He has done an excellent job!!! He hasn't wet the bed and only had a couple of accidents. He won't poop in the potty chair yet, it's "scary", but he tells me when he does go so I can hurry and change him. Plus, he lost his last binky a couple of weeks ago and has done pretty well now without it!!! I am so proud of him!!!!


I got the kids progress reports from school and Ezie has a B average and Mallory has 1 B and the rest A's. She is mad at herself, but I am very proud of both of them!! Great job guys!!!


My daughter Alexis, made me laugh the other night. They are out of school today and Monday, but they have school on Friday. Personally, I think it's stupid! So, anyway, Lexie says to me, "Mom, Friday is Senior Skip Day, is it okay if I skip?? I'll get my work ahead of time." I had to laugh. I love the fact the she asks me if she can skip school and doesn't sneak around behind my back. Her friends all thought she was crazy, but I love the fact that she can just come to me and tell me.
Lexie is turning into such a beautiful young woman. She is only 17 and has been in a relationship with her boyfriend, Jake for almost 3 years now and they have Anthony who is 15 months old. Lexie is a wonderful mom and she is doing so good in school and is planning on going to college next year. I am just so proud of her!!!


I lost 4 lbs since July! Only 72 ish more to go. Oh well, it's a start, right?!?!?

I'm actually feeling good today!! My sinus' are finally draining. I even welcomed the sore throat I woke up with because I knew it meant they were draining.

Jace is doing remarkably well in speech. He is says pretty much anything and is starting to put words together to make sentences. He can count to 15, knows his colors, letters and shapes and he is starting to sing songs now.He has blossomed into a lively and oh, such a cute little guy!
I have a wonderful group of friends through my blog and a few people around here. Jace's speech therapist, Kathy is such a wonderful person. She brought coffee over this morning and we just talked while Jace played and talked to us. It was so nice to have a friend to just talk. She is also trying to help us with some other family things. Kathy is the best!!


The sun is actually shining bright today and there is a nice breeze coming through the windows!!

What is making you feel happy today? I hope tons of things!!!

Have a fantastic day!
Sherry
