Peek A Boo Pattern: Aloha Burn Blocker Suit

Today's Peek A Boo Pattern Post is the Aloha Burn Blocker Suit modeled by Nehemiah.  I made this after I made the Hang Ten rashguards for Elijah, Isaac and Joseph so this was made with the scraps from those shirts.  You would know the only colors of fabric I had on the shelves were green, red and white!  LOL  I think he looks like a cyclist or something :)

And a bonus because he is so adorable... (ignore the untrimmed thread...)
Nehemiah loves the Aloha so much he wanted jammies made the same way.  I modified the Aloha to make it looser fitting than it would be for a swimmer and voila!  He's a very happy camper!

Peek A Boo Pattern: Little Gentleman Tie


My brother in law recently wed his beloved and I, of course, made dresses for the girls.

 The older boys went 'shirt and tie' shopping...

 ...and I wanted to make ties for the younger boys with a coordinating fabric that would help tie everything together.  I found this fabulous pattern at Peek A Boo Pattern Shop
Loving these sharp ties from Amy Hindman's pattern Little Gentleman Tie.

Molly's Shiny New Smile

June 4, 2015... Sweet Molly... She has entered a brave new world... lol.  Molly was born with no permanent bilateral incisors (the teeth on either side of the big teeth) on the top.  When her baby teeth there fell out, her permanent canines turned and moved into those spots and her baby canines never fell out.  At least not yet... they will eventually... so we all decided it was better to have all of this taken care of now (when she's still at home, insured and not married, pregnant, taking care of babies, etc...)  So the plan is to pull those baby canines, move the permanent canines over where they belong and then have implants for the bilateral incisors.  Last week she had expanders put in and yesterday the expanders were removed and braces were installed (?).  Next month the baby canines come out and the real 'move these teeth' dance begins.  Dr. Johnston thinks it will be a two year process.  Molly, full of fun and humor (as always) said "Well, at least you know I won't get getting married for at least two years!" LOL

Many thanks to Dr. Johnston of Johnston Orthodontics and his fabulous staff!!

Andy and Missy... sittin' in a tree...

Tony's brother Andy finally found his other half!  Missy is a delightful addition to the Looney Lewis Family!  LOL  They got married last weekend in a beautiful state park lodge.  It was a lovely and perfect 'Andy & Missy' wedding!
These are all from a quick photo shoot at Grandmother's house before we left for the wedding...




The closest I have to 'twins'....

My redhaired ones...

My stairsteps are all messy now!  LOL

The rest of these are from the wedding... MaryVance was on camera duty so if you see lots of pictures of our children holding 'babies', you will know why!

See... don't say I didn't warn you!  Molly and Gavin (nephew of Missy)

Oh look!  It's Emma again... with Isaac :)

Boy believes his Mama when she said 'You better not get food on that tie!' LOL

The wedding was so wonderful, just perfect for Andy & Missy!  It was so wonderful to meet her family and we really enjoyed spending time with Gavin and Emma!
