My parents bought Torie a sewing machine for her birthday!  She absolutely loves it.  My grandparents took her shopping to for her birthday to pick out some fabrics, thread, and supplies to go with her sewing machine.

Here is her new sewing machine and her sewing box (that was mine when I was her age)!

Here she is with her first sewing project……

I’ve always loved sewing and kind of feel like it was a present for both of us….hehe!!

I can’t believe our Torie is 11!  Where has the time gone??  She decided that she wanted to have a zebra/pink party!  She also picked out her outfit the day of the party (that went right along with the theme!)

She chose meatball subs for her birthday dinner.

and ice cream sundaes instead of cake…..

present time….

You can tell that Jamas enjoyed the sundaes…..

We started off the day with donuts.  Then we all met at my parent’s house to celebrate Ryan’s birthday and Labor Day!  We had brisket and all the fixin’s, cake, pie and ice cream! Ryan wanted a baseball/Texas Rangers birthday, so to go along with the theme he brought all his baseball stuff for a big game after all the eating, cake, and presents!

On our way to the party!

Ryan’s yummy cake (thank you Kay for letting me use your cake pan and for decorating it for me!)

Yummy!

Present Time

They ended the baseball birthday party with a fun game of baseball at the Barkley’s baseball field.  (well the guys and kids did!!)
