Poor me
I had a great Thanksgiving with Sara and Hans. We had a fun time and good food, but looking at these pictures makes me VERY sad.

Question?
So I am making stockings and I can't decide what I like best or think is the cutest and wondered what you guys think. So this is them closer up. So if you click on the picture you can see the red has little polka dots of different sizes on them.
Other options closer up.
All the options, or really I can rearrange and do what I want. The one that doesn't have a foot and heel is just to show you the star material as a cuff. I dont' even have to use all the material. I kinda like the ones without the stars but, then when I look at them with, I like that too, so I can't decide what to do. I am going to make them all have the same cuff I think, but then do half of them with the toe and heel the same and then the other half somethin different (maybe opposite of the first half) if that makes sense.

Thanksgiving Weekend!
So I did these backwards in order of events, so if you want to see it that way, start at the bottom, or just continue on :) We went to Temple Square on Friday night. It was pretty cold, the lights were pretty awesome, and having a group this big there was only as you can imagine. Everyone getting all mixed up as to where to meet and finding spots to park and all that good stuff, but overall it was still really fun. After we went back to Dustin's and had hot chocolate that was delish. Linz and Dad had to leave a little earlier than this picture was taken cuz LInz had to get back to clean the Plasma Center.
We went to a Roller Skating Rink on Friday as well as Temple Square. It was so stinkin fun. Some were on Roller blades and some on skates. It was pretty hard to get used to again. The place let you have scooters and strollers too so it was the goods for everyone. Mom had Saylor most of the time walkin with her, but got her out after awhile and Saylor just laid on her like this the whole time.

We started a train, but the person in front would get pooped real fast cuz all the rest of us would just hold on the for the ride, except Ang did help when she wasn't in front. Dres and Ern were on this, but they got flung off at the last corner.
The whole gang at the roller skating rink. (Josh was takin the picture)
All of the boys at the roller skating rink, thinkin they were awesome. Bud was pretty dang fast, I have to say.
Some of us at the roller skating rink, before we started and weren't all sweaty. We were all dying of heat and sweating to death.
Dustin working on his salad and bein nerdy.
Thats all. We missed you peops that weren't there and wished you were. We love ya. THANKS to ANg and Josh and Dustin and ALissa for letting us all come and crash your houses and use all your stuff and eat all your food. You guys were awesome and everyone had lots of fun.

I finished the top of my Quilt
I finished. I am freakin excited. I only had to unpick twice and one didn't really count :) Now I have to figure out how to do the back and make it look normal because the lady at the store told me I needed 4 and 1/2 yards and it turns out I needed 5 and 1/4 of a yard, so now I will have a extra strip that is tiny on the back. I am not jacked about it, but oh well I guess, a boy is getting and he won't notice. Now I have to go back to the store and hope they have 3/4 a yard of that same material or I am going to be ticked. Okay thats all. I just had to let you all know because I am pretty dang proud of myself for doing this by myself, I never have you know. I have always had Mom there (don't worried, I called her lots of times :) . Alright, peace.

My house
If you start at the bottom, that is the first picture of when you come in the door. This is standing under the archway, looking back at the front door. The room you can see is our office/craft room. Sorry this is such a big post. I tried to do a video but it wouldn't ever download it and it kept freezing so I decided to just do pictures instead.
Our bedroom. It is under that archway too, but on the right side. The door you can see is to the bathroom and the closet is next to that. Yes that is Zach half naked on the left side. He just got out of the shower. He has pants on, you just can't tell cuz they are hanging off of his bum. Acroos from our room is the laundry room but i didn't take a picture of it. It is just a walkway more like with a washer and dryer.

This is my bedroom, but mostly I was just showin Case how I have nothin on my walls in here.
This is our TV room. It us under the archway, if you keep walking then this is what you will go into.
This is standing under the archway you could see in the second picture looking at that wall. I mostly put this on so you can see my cute shelf thing up there. I don't have all the stuff put up there how i want. We just had to stick it up there for now so Saylor wouldn't get into it. Too bad after my Christmas stuff is down, I have nothing to go up there at all. Its the craps. The archway you can see on the left goes in the a small hallway. On the right side is a bedroom and then the bathroom (which is the bright light you can see) then at the end of the hall is Saylor's room. I decided not to put pictures of it all or this would be one huge post.
My table I refinished. It had white legs and a light oak color finish. To bad we don't have any chairs to go with it, just folding ones. These stars aren't cute, I realize that, but I have nothing else to go there.
The quilt
The pajama pants. Hopefully I made them long enough. I'm kinda worried about Marshall's. I decided to put them on here cuz I can't post them on mine or Zach's sister will see them. I am pretty dang proud of myself even if they are supposed to be easy. Nothing is easy for me when it comes to sewing :) (I don't really know why I even do it)
So this is the quilt I am making for Zach's brother. It was last years Christmas present, but then Saylor came along and my life ended (along with Mom's) and I never got to it. So I am going to finish it this year and I am not sure why because I don't really know what I am doing. I have already called Mom like 3 times asking her about it and I haven't even started sewing yet. (why do we do projects on our own again?) So this is for Mom so she can see what I am talking about when I am asking her a billion questions. You would think it wouldn't be that hard since it is just squares, but I was told the wrong sizes by the peops at the stores (2 different stores) so now I am trying to figure it out to make it work for his bed still. Fun times for me, who's jealous? I have already sewed 4 pairs of pajama pants on my own so I am thinking I am doing pretty dang good. Case, there are more pictures to come. I had Zach cancel the post, but I guess it uploaded that one any ways, so I will post the rest of them today.

Cards
So I made some cards for Alissa, for Lauri's birthday. Here they are, some of them turned out real cute. I put this one to show the cute little thing I did on the inside.
This is a gift card holder. Pretty cute idea I stole from a scrapbooking store here.

I love these ones, or the idea of them. I think they are so stinkin cute. Not these ones in particular but the idea of them. These ones are cute, but I am sure they could be made cuter.
All of the Christmas ones I did. I didn't send the top right one cuz I really messed up on the stamping part, plus on the tree I tried this bead stuff and it didn't work out that great.n It turns out that I can't really make up cards at all on my own, I have to have something to copy. On some of these I didn't really have anything, and wow it took me forever. I told Zach that I have to have a card making book for Christmas this year so I can copy everything.
The other ones I did. The top right one of this one is going to say Thanks so Much, but I don't have cute handwriting, so I left it blank and told Alissa she has to write it in when she gets them cuz she has real cute handwriting. So I don't love these ones as much, but I still think they are pretty cute. I love the birthday one with the polka dots. Any ways, here they are, not that most of you care, but on well, you get to see them anyways :)

Raking Leaves
I know mom and dad talk a lot about raking the leaves, so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon and talk about our leaf raking times. And I thought I would post some pics since no one has for about a billion years. We have raked our yard a few times, and the piles of leaves are huge each time. I mostly wanted to show you peeps my favorite picture of Caleb doing Superman into the huge pile. If you want to see a video of him trying to hurdle the pile, you can go to my blog.
Sorry to you peeps that check my blog and this is a re-run.
