Baby swap?

She has discovered pens, and the fun that they are:( If she has a pen, she colors on everything! This is the most recent. So, Brian and I are wondering..........did we end up with one of Nate's kids on accident?

The never ending project

I started this hat for Kennedy early November. I have not crochet anything in probably 10 years. And it was my first time following a pattern and doing more than just a single crochet:) It has been a long month of learning, taking out, and redoing. But the never ending project is finally finished. Thank goodness! Thank you Mary for the hours of sitting and re-explaining over and over:)

A Christmas Miracle!

She can walk!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Nov. 15th Jack turned 4! He was so excited. Unfortunately it was a Sunday. Not just any Sunday, but primary program Sunday. He had to sit still for 3 hours instead of just 2. Torture I am sure. He completely rebelled. He never stood up to sing. He even tried to get up and leave a few times :) But he gladly got up to say his part, loudly!
I know this is not a typical birthday cake for me, but the boy just wanted his cake "painted green". So I did.

A funny little conversation.

On monday evening(my birthday) Sheridan wanted to make up a birthday game for all of us to play. Some time later she comes and finds me;

Sheridan: "What is your most favorite thing?"
Me:(thinking for a minute) "Uh.............NAPS!"
Sheridan: (an exasperated look, then) "We can't play pin the mom on the bed!"
Me:(laugh pretty hard)

We ended up coming up with "pin the birthday hat on the girl". It was cute. And we even made Brian play:)

Happy Birthday to ME!

I want to thank my wonderful sisters(in-law) for coming to lunch with me today. We went to Bajio and it was spectacular. And not to get to mushy, but it really did mean a lot to me that you guys came. Thank you! Smooches!
So, I turn 33 today! Ouch, huh? Its ok. I am fine with it:) And since MY husband would never post anything nice about me on my birthday, I will do it for him:) This is what Brian loves about me:
K-kreative:)
E-endearing
R-radiant
S-sexy
T-treasure
I-ingenious
N-naughty
And I think I am suppose to also come up with 33 reasons why he loves me. But come on. I cant come up with 33 good things about myself! There is no way he would. So we will leave it at that. So................
Happy birthday self. You are the best!

A Hallo-week of fun!

It started with our traditional Bishop FHE pumpkin carving. Then trunk-or-treat with Grandma Jackson. School parties, of course on different days. Sheridan was invited to 2 birthday/halloween parties (on the same day). And ended with trick-or-treating and making cookies.
I love Halloween. I love how excited my kids get about their costumes. Especially when I made them:) This year Sheridan was a Geisha. Madelynn was a bat. Jackson was Darth Vader (I did not have to make that one, thankfully). And Kennedy was a monkey. (I made it for Madelynn when she was a baby, and she hated it. She cried. Kennedy LOVED it! She completely spazzed out, and thought it was funny to have it on. Go figure)
