Crafty Woman

I just wanted you all to know that I am officially a CrAfTy woman! I am sooo proud of myself. Those of you who are pros at this kind of stuff will probably see all the flaws, but I actually made this table runner!! YEAY!!

I bought the material Saturday morning and this project was supposed to last me through December, but I was sooo excited about it that I couldn't wait!! I think I will do one for each holiday next :) I am soo excited! (Thanks, Tabi, for lending me the book. I promise you will get it back soon!)

Giving Thanks

I love Thanksgiving, and I think it was strategically placed before Christmas!! So here are some of the things I am thankful for this holiday season.

1- Two WONDERFUL sisters (and their kids, and an upcoming trip to Forks, etc.) I love you guys!

2- My family!



3- My great in-laws!! (and I am grateful that I can even say that!)

4- Fun friends!

5- Talent!

6- Naptime

7- A good job.

8- A new high chair! YEAH!

9- A daughter that keeps me laughing!




10- AND, a husband that keeps me laughing!

Thank you for making my life so wonderful!

Gettin' Around

I realize that this title is questionable, BUT, I had to tell you how Breanne is gettin' around these days!!

While most babies prefer the more conventional methods of rolling or crawling, Breanne has decided to invent her own way to move.

She begins by extending her arms out all the way, kinda in a bowing position.

Then she sits up. That's it!

Although you can barely tell, she is actually moving towards a very strategic goal. It was me the other night. We have yet to learn the rest of the destinations her interest will take her, sitting and bowing all the way!!

In the beginning

In the beginning, there was me. . .

And then someone came along and there were two . . .

And then someone came to hang out with us for the rest of eternity, making three . . .

And the beginning of friends is the scariest time for us, but, yes, friends have been made. The first playdates of her life . . .

My little baby is just growing up so fast! *Sniff*

BABY

A lot of people have asked me how I like being a mom . . . this post is kinda in response to that question.

Baby

Baby Mouth

(note the pants she kicked off under her legs)

What all goes IN baby mouth . . .

The order of the day??

Fuzz, apparently . . .

(Looks like she won the wrestling match with her bunny!)

. . . AND some other things . . .

(She managed to get that sock off on her own. I don't know what it is with her fixation with her right foot . . . )

(Bet you can't guess what happened here!!)
How could I NOT love hanging out with this little cutie?!

October Festivities

So here are some pictures from everything we did this month to celebrate OCTOBER 2008.

This was the SMOKIN' bonfire at Chad's 'rents.

This was a Halloween cruise down the Provo River - FESTIVE!

Halloween wouldn't be halloween without a cornmaze!!

Or a little Pumpkin carving :)

Or a baby in the pumpkin!!

Or a baby EATING the pumpkin!!

This was our halloween bash at Jane's house!

Don't let this dainty damsel fool you, she is AMAZING at pretty much any food game you can come up with!! (Go Linz!)

She definitley took the cake in this one against Chad.

(It's okay, hun. I even eat faster than you!!)

Then I had my turn against Jane and I knocked her cute lil home-making, halloween plannin' socks off!! YEAH! Go me!

Then I met my match against Linz in a worm finding contest.

I swear that girl is a natural born bird!

But can't you just see the resemblance??
