A Love Note to William

William when you were a baby, those beautiful eyes of your had me from the start. I loved how big your heart was even if your dad was your entire world. Chris is such a lucky guy to have had both of us love him so much. Whenever we would take photos, I loved how funny you always were when rolling around in the dirt...when you were done you didn't even look black because you were covered in dirt. I remember the first time we brought you outside, you were so fascinated by the birds. I was sure your mission was to catch as many as possible and I believe we caught you once. You were such an adventurous cat and an explorer...I loved that you were so curious about the world around you. That's why when you didn't show up in the afternoon that first day you were missing I wasn't too worried, but by night I knew something was wrong. I'm glad we were able to find you in the end even if you're not with us anymore. I'm going to miss seeing that face everyday waiting for us after work. That's pretty much my last memory of you, laughing at you because you were sticking your tongue out.

Love you always

Remembering Jellybean

I'll never forget the day Chris brought Jellybean and his brothers home. They were so little and the cutest black fur balls ever. Chris rescued them after their mother had been killed and they must have been just a little over 2 weeks old. The next few weeks were spent with bottle feedings every so many hours, lots of playtime, and becoming fully in love with these 3 little ones. I normally wouldn't post something like this but I feel like maybe some of you have gotten to know Jellybean over the past few weeks. After work on Tuesday I found out that Jellybean passed away...and I'm still in tears. I think losing a pet is one of the hardest things...ever.

My favorite photo of us, I'm so glad you wanted to climb up that tin roof with me

Jellybean I don't think I've ever had a cat that was as smart as you, wanted more attention, or loved back as much as you did. Our little family walks won't be the same without you. I'm going to miss having you around during outfit photo shoots. They just won't be as fun without you sneaking into each frame. I'm going to miss the pose you and me take of you looking up to the camera stealing the spotlight from my shoes. I wish you could have been here longer. I've been missing you ever since I found out you were gone...I'll love you always.

Our last photo together <3

The Boys


Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy all day yesterday and today sewing away.  I have a project that I thought was due tomorrow and it turns out I have until Friday to finish it :) After all my hard work I decided to come visit the boyfriend and while he was busy doing something in the backyard I decided it would be a good time to introduce you to the boys aka my kids.


May I introduce you to Jellybean. He can sometimes look mean but he is the most softest, fluffiest, and loving cat ever. But OMG he is also the heaviest cat ever...he's just one big fur ball...literally.

This is Scar. Now don't be worried I'm not chocking him but this one is a little hard to control. Out of the three he is the most playful and curious and is constantly getting into trouble.  It's hard to get him to stay in one spot...he's quite a handful.

Say hello to William.  This one here is the calm quiet one.  As you can see he actually posed for the camera. His favorite thing to do is climb trees...he gets pretty high. I think he is determined to catch a bird. The moment he hears singing, he's searching...as soon as the bird lands on a branch, he's already climbing the tree.

And because William felt like taking a few photos, here are some more.


Do you have any pets?

p.s. I love hearing from all of you 
and I'll probably be catching up on everyone's blog by tomorrow.
Finals have been getting the best of me :)
