Welcome to the 2010 Fall Fashion Preview brought to you by Bud N Punts Fashions Inc. Our fashions are original designs created exclusively by toddlers themselves and modeled by their designers!

First in our line-up is Buddy. He is wearing the baseball theme pajamas with a fishing motif baseball cap. To highlight the originality of this outfit, he wears his sister’s pink and green kitty cat rubber boots (much to the chagrin of his daddy). Rubber boots are worn too large as a special element of style. The large size also makes them easy for little people to put on without mom’s help. The fitted pajama pants are very flattering to the toddler bumper, as Buddy happily displays.

Secondly, Puntsy models the newest tutu trend. A pink and brown tutu is worn over the floral motif dress. This beautiful tutu was custom designed by her Aunt Dawn. A sparkly turquoise tutu is worn on the head making it the perfect wedding outfit according to the model herself. A pink, fuzzy purse completes the ensemble.

The beautiful Puntsy also displays for us the “borrow from your little brother” look by wearing a plaid shirt and camoflage shorts from his wardrobe. As Buddy premiered the “boots too big” trend for boys, “boy clothes too small” appears to be the thing for girls. This outfit is enhanced with the “poofy” look. This look is achieved by wearing a dress under the shorts and shirt. The offset buttons are stunning and make it an easy to emulate style for the budget-savvy shopper!

Rubber boots appear to be “the thing”, and kitty cat motifs make them even more up to date!

Last of all, Buddy and Puntsy walk together to model their favorite styles of all. Buddy sporting his classic all-boy wardrobe staple and Puntsy, her wedding play favorite.

We hope you have enjoyed the show and have gleaned a few fashion tips from the prince and princess of sweetness!

“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.”  Matt. 6:28-29

Four years ago today, my dear hubby and I committed our lives to each other! I am blessed with a humble, caring, gentle husband who deeply loves and cherishes me. He serves me. He makes me feel wonderful. He is joy to my heart.

Chris, thank you for choosing me! I’d marry you all over again and again. You light up my life. I love you!

Today we cleaned out the cave. It’s that cabinet in the kitchen that has a small door opening to huge insides that go way back to the very deepest corners under the counter.

I quickly realized that I was much too big for the job, not to mention not nimble enough. Savannah fit perfectly though, and couldn’t have been more thrilled to dig in the depths for treasure. Thankfully, there were no creatures in there (other than the little girl), and the job got done.

After cabinet excavating, we had play-dough time. Savannah wanted to make mommy and daddy. We turned out like this:

Poor, poor us.

So, do any of you have caves in your kitchen? What do you put in there? The only thing I could think of was things we never use, but then why keep things we never use?

As dear family and friends, we wanted to let you all know that our third-born son, Joshua Hunter, went to be with the Lord a couple of weeks ago. He was born on August 6, a tiny 2.6 ounces and 6 1/4 inches long. I was 17 weeks pregnant this time.

Saying goodbye to Joshua broke my heart, and I felt in despair for days and days. I truly didn’t see how I could rise above. But God… Isn’t that they way it is when we are lost? But God, in His mercy and lovingkindness, endured my questions and accusations against Him and has lifted me out of the miry clay. I am truly and deeply grateful to Him for giving me four beautiful, precious children. Two here with me, and two waiting for a hug in eternity.

I cannot imagine enduring grief without my heavenly Father, who gave His Son Jesus to die on a cross of shame for my sin. He did this knowing that I would rant and rave at Him in my heart, even when He endured much worse pain than I go through.

Thank you all for your prayers for us and your sweet encouragement. It’s up and down every day you know, but the path grows brighter.

Today, my blessing from the Lord, the one that I waited for, the one that I love more everyday, is celebrating his birthday! I thank the Lord for giving me a humble, giving, loving, strong, and faithful man. He is a wonderful father and a better husband than I could have EVER dreamed of having.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!!!
