I finally got it done

I have had the fabric to make this since the first of October and then I got out of the mood to sew...been doing digital scrapbooking instead. But I lost my creative juices for a moment, let's hope it gets back soon. And so I started sewing. Now I am going to have to wait until next Halloween to use it, oh well. It didn't turn out as large as I would have liked but I love it!!! I cannot wait to show my mom. Here is a pic. (I don't know how to photograph it good.) My mom is going to show me how to quilt the top stitch by hand. She is the master of quilting (oh and my Grandma) Can't wait to see her next week!!! YAY!!!

Why I love Midland...

This is why I love Midland....yes I am missing my fall and winter from Utah, but you cannot get a fresh Pepper and tomatoes from you garden in November in Utah. Quick question for you...how many green tomatoes can a little girl eat before it will make her sick? While I was raking leaves and picking red tomatoes Addison decided that she would eat until her heart was content.

Popcorn

My kids LOVE popcorn. They will do anything for it. Addison is the worst. They get their little popcorn buckets and have a little picnic in the living room. It is very cute. Here is our most recent picnic....isn't that face on Addison so cute. She has just started posing for the camera.

Whose the new guy??

I finally did it.....I cut Jeff's hair. He let me do what I wanted and I had the balls this time around to cut it. It was getting so long and he NEVER did it....unless you count Sundays. So I cut it. The buzz at church was funny. Lots of people introduced themselves to the new guy (that one was my favorite) and he got lots of comments. I like it. He has not had it this short forever. This is how he had it when we got married and so I feel like I got my newlywed back. Parker likes it but thinks that we should have shaved it all off. Addison just keeps staring at him. It took her a few minutes to figure out it was daddy. Do you guys like it???

Halloween Fun

We had a blast this year. We all dressed up and went over to our wards trunk or treat. Addison was a bumblebee, Parker was Anniken Skywalker, Jeff was a ref, and I was a witch. Parker got way too much candy, but he had a blast doing it. Addison loved putting the candy in her bag. It was cute. She didn't want to eat it, just put it in her bag. Parker was ready to dump out his candy and start the sugar high!!! Parker has already started talking about next year and what he is going to be.
