Gingerbread Houses

Every year we go out to my parents house and make gingerbread houses. They aren't real gingerbread though. They are wood cut outs that you can just wash up and re use next year. Anyways, so this is a picture of all of them. It goes Evan's, mine, Derek's, Dakota's and my mom's. They all turned out really cute! I made Evan's out of grahm crackers. It turned out way cute!! And Derek's......well, Derek has alot of fun making these as you can tell. He added a second story on his house :-)

Evan's cute little house, mommy and daddy's mansion!

Dakota and my mom!

And cute little Skylar! Isn't she adorable?? She didn't make one, but she sure ate enough candy, Probably as much as would go on a house!! Gotta love her!

And my favorite little boy!! This is his first year making houses and he is just so proud of his house!! At first when we put frosting on, and had him grab some candy, he asked "what do I do?? Put these in my mouth??" Haha. After we explained that the candy goes on the house, he had alot of fun making this. It is still out to my mom's, and he keeps asking me why it isn't at our house. Poor little guy! :-)

Santa is coming to town!!

So every year, Rigby does a little Chrismas parade and Santa comes to town! So I decided to bundle up the kids and take them out to the parade. Evan loved the parade, and Skylar didn't. Sigh! It would be nice for them both to be on the same page! :-) Anyways, after the parade we went to see Santa. In this picture, Skylar is doing pretty good, but as soon as I try to put her on his lap with Evan, she freaked out! Evan on the other hand was super excited. This is the first year that he finally get's it. When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he just said "I don't know." Then Santa started asking him what he likes to do, and he said he likes vroom vroom cars. So now anytime anyone asks him about Santa, he says "Santa is going to come to my house and bring me presents. He is going to bring me a vroom vroom car!" Too cute!! Good thing he is getting some cars!

Craft Fair

I'm not sure how many people even look at my blog!! :) But this is worth a shot I guess?? Just wanted to let everyone know about the Craft Fair this coming Saturday (14th) from 10-5 at the Rigby High School. I have a booth in it, the first time ever doing that, and I am a little nervous! Hope it all goes well!! Anyways, come enjoy the fair and stop by and say Hi! By the way....there are over 90 vendors!!

Halloween

Here are a couple of pictures of my adorable kiddo's!! Incase you can't tell, Evan is a pirate, and Skylar is a tulip fairy. Of course I had to put long pants and shirt on them though, which isn't fun. We went to our ward Halloween party and the kids had a blast. They had a costume contest, and Evan won for the 3-4 year olds. He was sooo excited! That night when we came home and got ready for bed and were saying our prayers, after every sentence, he would say"and eat lots of candy." Derek and I made the mistake of laughing the first time. He didn't stop after that. He always puts a smile on my face! I am totally in love with my kids! Hope you all had a fun Halloween also!

Busy Busy

As some know, I have a business making wreaths and blankets. Well here is one wreath that I just got done making for my sister-in-law. She had some stuff come up and ended up in the hospital for a week and these are the flowers that people sent to her while she was there. I am way happy how this turned out!! I dried some flowers that I have never dried before and some of them didn't turn out good, but some of them turned out AWESOME!! I am way excited about this wreath and love it!!

I was looking at facebook one day and one of my friends had a website posted and I went and looked at it and it had these cookies on it. I thought they were adorable, so I had to try them out! They aren't perfect, but not too bad for my first time. I am definately going to be making more of these. Let me know if you want to know how to do these. (Incase you can't tell, they are spider webs with little spiders on them.)

And last but not least....Dakota's 14th Birthday! She loves loves soccer, so we decided to get her and us some Major League Soccer tickets for her birthday. She didn't have a clue we were going. We picked her up from school at lunch, drove to Utah, went out to eat at the Mayan, went to the soccer game, stayed the night, went to Cabella's the next morning, had lunch with my brother Brandon, and headed home. The game was alot of fun and we had really good seats. We were about half way between mid-field and the goal, and 5 rows up. She had a blast which made it all worth it. Quick trip though!!

Banana Bread and Blueberry Muffins

We had a good morning this morning!! We woke up and made blueberry muffins for Daddy for breakfast. Yummy!! Then we made some banana bread to take around to some friends. (Hope they turned out good, I didn't even try any of it before I gave it away!) Evan wanted to lick the beater, which at first I thought was kindof gross where it was bread, but then I thought, well what the heck. If it is gross he won't eat it. Suprise!! It was pretty yummy! Skylar has a doughy dirty face and then add muffin crumbs to it. Too cute!! Like her forehead?? Haha! Poor girl!

My "big" little girl!!

So this first picture is of one of Skylar's owies. (It is on her top left of her forehead.) Recently she thinks she is a big girl. Miss independant!! She likes to feed herself and doesn't like to sit in her high chair anymore. Which is ok. Well, the other night she was sitting at the table (a tall table) and she fell off her chair. It took me a while to figure out why she had 2 lines going accross her forehead on her goose egg. Then it came to me!! It is the grout lines of our tiled floor!! I guess she basically fell flat on her forehead. I hate it when this happens!!! Makes you feel like a bad mom.....even though I know I couldn't do anything about it.

This picture is of another owie she got 3 days before the other one. I am not sure what happend with this one exactally. Her and Evan were playing on my treadmill and she must have fell and hit her eye. Poor girl!! She is only 19 months and she get's hurt alot more than Evan who is 3!! I think I have my hands full with this little girl!!!
