Halloween 2010

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween. It is the kickoff to the holiday season and I love creating cute costumes for my kids. Granted they will seem like they are high on crack until after the new year, but it is a fun time of year. I love carving pumpkins then roasting the seeds. I love putting the kids costumes together and Wyatt's costume. I love taking them around the neighborhood to trick or treat. AND I love all of the fall and Halloween decorations. I just love it. Sydney is a vampire bride, I made her costume out of an old bedskirt, then Payson wanted to be a witch. I borrowed a black dress from a friend when Payson tried it on she said this is really plain so I made the tu tu and the purple bustier, and I gathered her sleeves. Thank goodness Jon wanted to be a football player so I didn't have to make his costume.

Wyatt's Halloween Party!

So we had a hard time coming up with a costume for Wyatt this year. His work always has a costume party; he has been Warren Jeps in prison clothes, A hula girl w/ a coconut bra, Nacho Libre and last year the Burger king KING. This costume though takes the cake. I had suggested be a fisherman from the TV show deadliest catch. Well if any of you know my Wyatt he takes it one step further. A fisherman from deadliest catch; however he has caught the deadliest itch...crabs. Oh he is one funny guy but I love him with all my heart and he cracks me up. The winner of the best costume from his office wins a flat screen tv.

Baby projects

So I have been trying to get a few things ready for the new baby. I made these wash rags and I think they turned out really good. I sewed flannel fabric onto one side of a plane white wash rag. Then put ribbon over the raw edge. I love how soft the flannel is. I used one to wash my face and I LOVE it. They were so easy, I need to make more to keep on hand for baby gifts.

YA YA SISTERHOOD GIRLS NIGHT OUT

I took the girls and a few friends to Thanksgiving Point for their annual Ya Ya Sisterhood night. We enjoyed cups of soup, shrimp nachos, chocolate fondue and little pumpkin cupcakes. (All free) We danced and cheered, wrote down our woes then burn them, chanted the YA YA chant. It was a great night, I look forward to it again next year, although the girls really want to go all out wearing dresses and feather boas and BIG hats.

more pictures

While at the museum I was able to show the kids the kind of air plane that my Grandpa Smith flew during WWII. It was a B29; he was the tail gunner. I am always in awe at how these old planes were able to fly across the ocean to defend our rights.

UEA WEEKEND Hill AF Base Museum

We had a great time up at the museum on the Base. The kids loved it. We had a older man who was a tour guide walk us around. He tried to take our family picture but he was shaking sooo bad the picture didn't turn out. He offered to take other pictures but we kindly declined.

"new" car seat

So I needed a new carseat for the baby but I didn't want to spend the big bucks on a new one. So I recovered my old one. I had been looking all over for the fabric and I was never able to find the exact color scheme that I wanted. Finally I found it at JoAnns and it was on sale. It was so fun to do this little project. I can't wait to get busy making more things for this little guy, hopefully I can get them done before he gets here. I'd better get busy since I started this carseat project about 2 months ago. :)

FALL IS HERE!!!

I love fall decorating. I love dressing warmer or at least wearing jeans and long sleeve shirts and people don't think you are crazy for wearing that. I love making soups and pumpkin desserts. I just love fall.

Newest member of our family...JOE DIRT!

SO yesterday Bennett decided she was tired of her hair. She was either thinking that Billy Ray Cyrus has awesome hair or David Spade has it going on in Joe Dirt. Whatever, now she just has a horrible do that has to be pulled into a little pony on the top of her head. I guess it will grow back until then we are calling her Joe Dirt. She is crying in the last picture because I told her she wasn't cute anymore with this new haircut,( don't worry she still thinks she is cute) she hopefully will NEVER cut her hair again.

LEHI FOOTBALL

This is what our nights and Saturdays now consist of, FOOTBALL!!!! It is fun a big time commitment but it really is fun. My Jonny boy looks so stinkin' CUTE. He is getting really good too, at todays game he knocked a westlake (team they played) player down. He has been a little apprehensive about knocking people down, so I cheered very loudly when he knocked the kid down. More pictures to come in the next few months.

haircuts

Payson wanted her hair cut short, I was having problems with them cutting off 4-5 inches. It just takes so long to grow out, but she loves it. She says she can't stop smiling, she looks so grown up now. Sydney just wanted 3 inches trimmed off. They both look so cute with their new haircuts. All ready for school.
