Cute Gift Idea

This is the super cute gift I gave to Coey's teachers. You take a soup can and open it through the bottom and leave the lid still attached. Clean it out and then fill it with goodies and seal the bottom with a hot glue gun. Remove the label, add some scrapbook paper and embellishments and VOILA! I filled these with chocolate covered pretzels and they turned out pretty cute If I do say so myself!

My New Craft

So I know I haven't posted in awhile but with Christmas fast approaching I have been doing tons of crafts to get ready for it. Not only are there gifts for certain loved ones but I also managed to squeeze in this super cute craft that will allow us to countdown to Santa's visit. I saw a countdown similar to this on the internet but decided to make a few changes. So hopefully this little post can tide you over until I can get back in the swing of things.

Morgie and Coeyster

This is Morgie.

She loves her mama and follows her everywhere, I mean everywhere. She loves to talk, dance and sing. Her favorite thing is to annoy her brother by walking in circles around him while he is watching t.v. She loves to be wherever Coey is and doing what he is doing. Her likes include: wearing shoes, reading books, anything Wall-E, baths, being outside, drawing on the doodle board, saying hi to people, chewing on Bryce's toothbrush, putting lotion on her hands, her bear and binkie, milk, cookies and animals.

This is Coeyster.

He likes include: playing with friends, legos, Lincoln Logs, riding his bike, anything Indiana Jones, staying the night with Grandma and Grandpa, playing with his cousins, chocolate milk, having super special snacks, cheese, smoothies, Wow Wow Wubbzy, the color pink, making people laugh, playing computer games, playing hide and seek, throwing tantrums, watching videos of himself, bowling, golfing and getting cookies at the "yellow" store.

I am so blessed to have these two amazing kids. Even though they constantly make me want to pull my hair out they are mine and I love them more than anyone ever could.

Booties and Blankets

A girl that I go to church with just had a baby girl and asked me to make a car seat canopy for her because she knew that I made them. It is a basically a blanket that attaches to the car seat handle so it won't fly away and you can lift up the bottom to sneak a peak a baby or keep them covered and not feel like you are suffocating them. After making the canopy I decided to make some little booties that match them. Making baby booties is my new little hobby. They are so cute and pretty fun too. I keep telling Bryce I am going to make him some for Christmas and let me tell you he is really excited, okay maybe not that excited but they are still cute. I will be trying out new designs so if they are cute I will be posting those too.

The Spooks Will Fly on Halloween

This Halloween was by far the funnest I have had in long time. Not only did I spend weeks working on perfecting the kids costumes, but we did a lot of fun stuff together as a family. The day before Halloween we went to my sil's work and walked around and got candy from different areas. Then on Halloween we went to Trunk or Treat at Grandma and Grandpa's church, where we totally scored on the candy. Then we came home and walked around to our closer neighbors houses and just had fun. Everyone loved the kids costumes and especially got a kick out of Morgan's squeaky shoes. Morgan didn't really understand what was going on but thought it was great to walk up to people and get candy. She learned to say Happy Halloween although it sound more like Ha Ha Haween. So cute though!

Carving Pumpkins

On Halloween afternoon we went outside to enjoy the nice weather and carve the pumpkins we got a few weeks before. Coey was really detailed at drawing his face, but unfortunately it was all too close together so we weren't able to make it exact. I went for a more traditional look while Bryce went for something more to his personality. See if you can guess which one is his.

Another Surgery for Me.

On Tuesday I had surgery on my hand to finally relieve the pain I have been having in my thumb for almost a year. The doctor went in and release the tendon sheath so the pressure would leave my nerves alone. I guess it is similar to carpal tunnel surgery. Anyways I am so glad my sil lives close by because she took awesome care of my kids while I was loopy and her husband made some yummy chicken wraps for us. My hand is feeling better, not as bruised but still definitely sore, especially when I over use it. I get my stitches out next Thursday. In the meantime I am grossing people out by walking around with the bloody tape still on and no dressing :o)
