Super Saturday and Craft Night

So for our craft night in November we made rag wreaths and I

decided to make a Valentine's one since I already have a wreath for the other holidays.

I used 4 different patterns of fabric then we used pinking shears and cut them in strips and tie them onto a wire wreath. So easy and so cute.

For Super Saturday it was a little different this year and there were only 2 craft classes

and I taught 1 of them on how to make those accordion(sp?) style photo books.(sorry maybe picture later) Then there was a class to make these really cute wooden holiday blocks. I did the JOY,NOEL, and I still have to make the HARVEST one. I also bought an extra NOEL because the first one was for a gift, but I thought that since I already have a JOY and my house is so small I am going to make a LOVE for Valintine's instead.

Brent's Birthday

The hole punch, shirt, and cheez-its our from my family.

Belt from his Mom and Dad.

Battleship and Mall Cop from Justin and I.

Heavy Heavy hangover thy poor head. Jenga Max from Ben and Kim.

Yes he got 2 of the same movie. One from Kurt and one from Kim.

Brent turned 27 this year. We went out to dinner at a place called Rib City. The boys wanted to go there and all of the girls were kinda sceptical because there logo is a giant pig. It was actually pretty good. Then we just went back to his parents for gifts and cake and ice cream.

Silly Faces

Thanksgiving is upon us

Here is our turkey parade.Brent made all of the turkey's when he was little (except the last one i made last year) and his mom saved them and Justin and I made a new one to add for 2010. Next month you will get to see our reindeer parade.
Then there is my newest Thanskgiving decoration that I got at a craft show
and I just had to have it.

Reading with Aunt Kimberly

Justin and his cousin Kaylie love books and Aunt Kimberly.

Playing in the cupboards

The other day I was making dinner and I turned around and this is were I found Justin.

Halloween

Here are the Halloween pictures finally. Justin in his cute orange spider outfit,my pumpkin, trick or treating with daddy and of course our TMNT costumes.

Well Brent got there a little late and that is why his face is not painted.
So first I bought us all some stylish(lol) sweats from Salvation Army and then I made the rest with my sewing machine.For the front and back of the shell I made a pattern and then I stuffed them and hooked them together with elastic I also did the same thing with the knee pads. Then we have our masks but Justin did not like it so it became a bandana. The belts are elastic with wood circles for the buckle and velcro holds them on. Then our weapons we borrowed from Grandma J.

Well last year we were clowns and we won the costume contest at our ward party and yes you guessed it we won again.

Apple Orchard

We took Justin to the Apple Orchard and he had fun. We rode the big wagon through the

orchard to the pumpkin patch and brent and I picked out pumpkins for us to carve with his family the we got a small pi pumpkin for Justin. Then of course we had to get hot apple cider and sugar doughnuts. We had a lot of fun.

Raspberry Jam

So even though it was raining and freezing my sister-in-law Kimberly and I decided to go to the Orchard and pick raspberries to make freezer jam. Of course we were the only crazy ones to brave the rain with our ponchos on and everything. We didn't end up picking as many as we would have liked to due to the bad weather. This was my first time making freezer jam and who knew it was so easy. We got 4 1/2 conatiners maybe next year we will be smart and go sooner in the season so that it is not so cold.
