Keeping up with Cora

Today, I am linking up to Kelly's Show Us Your Life Friday! Thanks for visiting!

The story behind Mack's Boutique: As soon as we found out we were having a baby girl, I knew I wanted to start making some of her clothes. When I left my job in December, I needed some extra cash, so I put my stuff on Facebook and recently started an Etsy Store. I started a new job this week, but I am still making clothes on the side for extra money. I hope you enjoy! :)

Paisley Pillowcase Dress

This shirt comes in several colors, let me know if you are interested in a certain color!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate it so much! If there is anything you would love to have or if you have any questions, you can comment on this post, email me at cora.sturgeon@yahoo.com or you could also come visit my Etsy shop, and I upload the majority of my clothes on my facebook.

My name is Cora Sturgeon, and if you add me on Facebook, please send a little message letting me know that you saw my blog.. I decline lots of people because I have heard too many horror stories of viruses. Thank you again!!!

Friday night, was our annual Valentine Party. We always have so much fun with all the couples in our Life Group!

Gregory's catered our party, and the Chicken Enchiladas were to.die.for! We loved sitting with the Ames and the Brinkley's... even if Beau randomly breaks out in "Who let the dogs out?" :)

Dustin and I played the newlywed game and we tied the Brinkley's for the win! I did not get ONE question right! I never went with my first answer... but Dustin got every single question right and we went home with a Java House gift card! woo hoo!!

After the party, we went to the Meeker's house! We also went here last year after the party..

Here is Cully ( The ULTIMATE video gamer ) Dustin did really good playing this game! Of course because shooting is involved :)

Then Shaina suggested the boys try the Popsicle Pushup!

Poor Jacque couldn't push up. She is so petite!

The girls also kicked the boys tails in Catch Phrase! Thank you to my sister and Erik for keeping Mackenzie so we could go! They took her to La Fiesta and put her to bed for us! We had a blast!

I know I am a little late getting this up! I had to steal these pictures from Becky, since I forgot my camera at home! Thanks, Becky! :)

Oh wait? There was a football game going on? haha! I had more fun visiting with all the girls!

Here are the items that Mackenzie has loved these past couple months!

I cannot believe she has grown up so much! Look at how little she was! She couldn't even touch the floor then.

These have been a life saver through this snotty nose season! When I got these at my baby shower, I was pretty doubtful I would use these very much. Boy, was I wrong! These wipes are made of saline and they get the job done! (And they smell wonderful! Weird, I know! haha)

This is one of Mackenzie's favorite toys! Aunt Audie got this for her for Christmas. Any movement activates the baby and she bounces up and down. It is so sweet watching Mackenzie mock her.

She is also loving this toy right now too! It actually crawls across our hardwood floor, and the face lights up when music is playing. This keeps her very entertained.

She has a ton of toys that she switches playing around with... I am just too tired to think of what else she has :) I haven't left the house in 2 days and the cabin fever is starting to hit! Mackenzie is going to Mrs. Sherry's tomorrow, so I can fill out some paperwork for my new job!!

Tomorrow night is our Life Group Valentine Party at the church! I can't wait!

Mackenzie,

You are 10 Months Old today!!!

Where has the time gone?

You:

weigh about 20 lbs

wear some 9 month but mostly 12 month clothes

wear Size 3 diapers

wear Size 3 shoe

You have started cruising the furniture from one side of the couch to the other. You hold your bottle by yourself! I never realized how much I would love this. When you were a newborn, it was so hard to drive down the road while you screamed for a bottle.

You are definitely an entertainer! You love to be the center of attention. I tell people how dramatic you are, and moms of older girls always say "Just wait Cora!" Yikes!!

When it is time for a nap/bed time, we just lay you in your bed. You sometimes cry, but I can promise you I am standing close to your door just praying you will go to sleep :)

The day you turned 9 Months Old, we had a pretty big snow, and today we had yet another big snow... I hope we don't have snow on your 11 Month! :)

Here are all the pictures we took in the snow tonight.... I love these pictures! :)
