Amazing Tutorial!

Kenny's cousin, Kali, is an AMAZING seamstress!
I am seriously jealous anytime I see her stuff.
She made a nursing cover for me when Jack was born, which I really appreciated.
She recently created a Tutorial for Making Nursing Cover, so I tried it, and it was so easy. Seriously...the easiest tutorial I have ever followed.
I fell in love with this pink fabric from Joann's and since Kim is having a baby...she is my lucky winner!
Huge fan of the snap!

If you are interested, click on the link above, I think they cost about $3.50...great Christmas gift!

Gooble-Gobble Goodness

I saw these cookies on a blog and had to try them.
Here is the link to make them yourself...Turkey Cookies.
I was supposed to buy kisses, not hugs. I guess these are zebra turkeys! Taking two strapping young boys into the grocery store isn't as easy as it sounds.
Kim has been helping with Hailey's play, The Wizard of Oz. We are so excited to go see it!
I have had the kids the last couple days. They thought these cookies were really fun.
Say "Cheese"

Aggie Friend Reunion 2010

My roomies from USU and I wanted to find a way to keep in touch, even though we are somewhat spread out! This was our 2nd annual friend reunion! The Briggs were in charge and they planned a super-fun day!
We met at Thanksgiving Point and went to the Dinosaur Museum!
Then we went to Carissa's school and ate pizza, then played in the gym! Is there anything better than good old fashion Dodge ball and Duck-Duck-Goose?
Tanner and Jack checking out fossils.

"Don't worry, whales don't eat Bourgeous'. They eat grill...Oh, look Grill!
Caroline and Bill's cute family!
LeighAnn and Reed's cute family.
My little ones, I forgot to take a picture of us with Kenny...oh well!
Carissa and Justin
Cute Jack loved the basketball station. He loves anything balls.
I am blessed to have such wonderful friends, and I hope I don't have to wait another year to see you girls again!

"Holy Gosh"

Tanner's, super thoughtful, Alabama Grandma sent him an elmo for his birthday.
He played with the Elmo for about 15 minutes, then he spent about 45 minutes in this catalog. This is what I heard him saying...
"Holy Gosh! Look at this Elmo! I can't believe this!"

So, where was Elmo while Tanner was telling me his Christmas wish list?...
Well, let's just say he might have been living out every toys worst nightmare!

Jack was happy to have a turn!

Cool Free Website!

A free photo editing website...
This photo was already cute, I just added the words.
But, you can do all kinds of editing and vignettes and such...so fun!
PS...I love to create, but am totally unoriginal...I stole the idea from HERE.

Operation Christmas Child


Operation Christmas Child is an organization that deliver Chistmas Gifts to children that would otherwise not receive any. I found this through Somewhat Simple, a creative blog that I follow. The program is a Christian based organization and is super easy to become involved in.
  1. Get a Shoe Box (wrap the box and lid seprately)
  2. Fill it with gifts (small toys, school supplies, personal hygeine items...etc)
  3. Enclose a note and/or picture if desired
  4. Take it to a drop-off location (believe me, if there is a site near me, there is a site near you)

Click here for more information and to find a drop-off location near you...

Operation Christmas Child

Get woking quick, the drop off dates are Nov 16-23!!

I decided to try it out with my Cub Scouts, since I needed a service project to complete their Citizenship Bolt Loop.
They loved it and were shocked that some kids did not receive gifts!...One scout was quick to remind me that Santa would give the kids gifts though :)

We are a small group, but we learned that even kids can be a hero to someone!
