Circle Of The Sun and The Kids Are Alright




My smocks are selling! Yea! I'm so excited that Angie from The Outfit (that's her ETSY store) has included me in this incredible adventure. She has worked really hard to gather moms that create handmade baby and children's items and display their things at TWO stores in California. One store is in Long Beach and it's called "The Kids Are Alright" and the other is in Santa Ana and it's "Harvey's" ...So if you are ever around either area please visit them (and my smocks!)
I love the idea of the supporting individual crafters! Think about that next time you need to purchase a gift or something for yourself...shop Etsy or purchase from a LOCAL store.

Are you really reading this???

Yippie! I just found out the people really DO look at my blog! Thanks Portia!
So....here is an update on What's up in the Stearns (Sedillo) home.

Alec has graduated.....from middle school. Amazing how quickly it went. We are happy to be out of Hoover but it is hard to see my son move on to HIGH SCHOOL! Him and his friend Garret have joked that it may be like 'High School Musical'...HA! He plans on joining the tennis team again...yea! I'm sure between that and homework he'll stay busy.
This picture is of Alec and his tennis buddies at the rewards banquet. They did extremely well in the city! Go Hawks!





Becca will be in 5th grade next year...thank goodness she has one more year in elementary school! She is doing YAFL cheerleading this year instead of soccer. We are sad to see soccer go but she is a natural at cheerleading so we welcome the change. She needs braces soon so our pocket book is feeling the pain but we' ve seen with Alec what a HUGE change it can make:0)
Here's a picture of her at the start of 4th grade...btw it was the BEST year she has had! She had an extremely patient, kind, giving, and talented teacher. Thanks Mrs. Casias!






Ahhh, now for Evie. She's two almost three. What more can I say. It truly is a wonderful stage BUT very tiring for a parent. She is into EVERYTHING! She's very curious and easily distracted. She's into saying "What time is it?" and "You're my best friend!" Of course she is super cute! She is very loving. Another 'fun' thing she likes to do is unroll all the toilet paper, dump out food from bowls, and smack her sister when she doesn't get her way...ahh, being a toddler is so much fun!



Ted is getting ready for hip surgery on Wednesday...keep in in your prayers/good thoughts:0) Hopefully it will make a huge difference and he'll be back running normal again. By normal I mean his 'normal' like running 10 miles with NO worries...wow! He is still teaching at Sandia and will have TWO Latin classes next year! Yea! He has wanted to do it for quite some time so I'm glad he is giving it a shot.
I'm still staying at home with the kiddos and selling on my ETSY store (circleofthesun.etsy.com) and my art smocks are in TWO stores in California! They are at Harvey's and The Kids Are Alright (thanks to the outfit...check out their store at www.theoutfit.etsy.com) ALSO I am currently working out a 'deal' with delight.com for them to carry my art smocks (actually Angie from The Outfit is helping:0)
I'm still selling Stampin' Up! and LOVE to scrapbook... If you need any scrapbooking supplies let me know!

Well, I think that covers all of us here in the Stearns/Sedillo home. Keep checking back for updates and LEAVE A COMMENT so I know you are reading....that makes me think I'm not waisting my time.

Much love to all our family and friends..near and far...
