I'm on ETSY!!! (AGAIN!!!) Welcome to Baby Town!

I tried Etsy for awhile for scrapbooking, but it never seemed to catch on. So I abandoned it for awhile. Then a friend suggested that I should sell some of the cute baby stuff I've been making. I thought it was a good idea, so I started up again! You can click on the sidebar that has pictures of my stuff, or you can follow this link http://www.etsy.com/shop/BabyTown I called it Baby Town because everything else I thought was cute was already taken! Feel free to pass along my info to someone expecting or throwing a baby shower. I can do custom orders as well!

Here's the stuff I have right now, there is more to come!

Look who turned 32!

Today is my birthday!

I have had a good day so far. Kids woke me up at 7:30am by singing "Happy birthday to you" and insisting I come downstairs. So I reluctantly left my warm bed. The kids and Tall Boy had "wrapped" my presents in a blanket on the couch. Tall Boy got me a wall mount for our TV in the bedroom...we are hoping it will make a good ceiling mount...we really are that lazy!

Super Boy got me Pot of Gold Turtles (Pecan bits and caramel covered in milk chocolate),

and Super Girl got me gummy lifesavers.

We came home from church and Tall Boy helped the kids make cupcakes. I let the kids decorate 2 each, and I decorated a couple too...

 

 
We are probably going out to dinner to Tucano's, but I haven't decided entirely. We went to church and had really good lessons. But perhaps the best present of all is coming later this week...my parents are coming for a week and a half over Thanksgiving and will be taking the kids over a weekend so Tall Boy and I can have a romantic and peaceful weekend to ourselves!

So a Very Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Yeesh! It's October!

Yet another month has flown by! We have been CRAZY BUSY here! Earlier this year,Super Boy and I took Hunter's safety. We put in for some tags, mainly to build up points, but I drew a Bull Elk tag! So we went hunting and I shot an elk,but we never found him! Tall Boy has 2 other tags in the same general area, so he is keeping a look out for our trophy, but no luck so far. He hasn't gotten any animal either yet. He is out on his Spike Elk hunt right now. Over the next few weekends he also has a Buck Deer tag. Here's hoping for some good meat coming our way!

In other news, Super girl and Super Boy are enjoying school and recently took their photos for this year. We have Super Girl's back already, and will be getting Super Boy's back soon too...but for now, here's Super Girl's Kindergarten Photo...




Gotta love that girl! In fact i am doing a project for her for Christmas. I am making her a matching outfit (or two) for her and her Madame Alexander doll she got from Gma K for her bday. I just finished the doll's outfit last night! It is SUPER ADORABLE! Here it is...

It is comprised of a shirt, sundress, shawl and pants

 

Isn't it so cute! And Super Girl's outfit will be almost identical. I couldn't find an exact match to the doll pattern, but it will be close enough. I will be sure to add photos as I finish various projects.Anyway,that's about all for now!

Yeesh! It's September!

Wow, summer seemed to drag on, but it really did fly by! So much to catch up on!

At the end of June my parents, sister, and brother came to visit and brought their families along! We had 14 people in our house for a few days so it was a bit crazy, but WAY fun! We saw the movie 17 miracles together...We went to Temple Square...

 The assembly hall is amazing and so beautiful!

 Especially the glass windows!

 Having fun along the way!

 We went to the visitor's center...

 And the tabernacle...

 Walking around downtown we saw these cool fountains...

 and then we all went to Hatch Family Chocolates together...

 We were all  so amazed by their awesome creations...especially the basketball!

Unfortunately,all good things must come to an end, and all our company left us after the 4th of July.

During July, Gma  and Gpa C took the kiddos for a week. The last day was a service project making blankets. The kids loved helping out!

 

While they were gone I had a chance to make some more baby stuff for an expectant mother in our ward, I really think they all came out so cute! (sorry some are blurry, don't know what happened there!)

 For the month of August we mainly tried to stay cool and visited with friends. I also started a refinishing project on our dining table... This was the color before sanding...

After sanding...

  

After new stain!

 

 And now with the gloss polyurethane on top...

You can still see the original color on the legs and base of the table...now I just need to get it all finished!

Then it was finally time to get back to school at the end of August! Super Boy is in the 4th grade and Super Girl finally gets to go to Kindergarten! I also am in school taking an online class and actually attending a class on campus as well...my first time in 7 years! Here's Super Boy on his 1st day of 4th grade...

 And super girl on her 1st day of Kindergarten!

 Then for this month,Super Girl turned 5! We had our family celebration on her birthday,and had a party on the following Saturday...

 Tall Boy really loved the hair clippies from Gma & Gpa K

 And Super Girl absolutely adores this doll from Gma & Gpa K!

 Gma K even made these cute outfits for the doll...

 For the party on Saturday Super Girl wanted a "Jane and the Dragon" theme. So we learned how to shoot cannonballs at a castle (bean bag toss)...

And played pin the tail on the dragon...

 And I did my best to produce a "Jane and the dragon" cake...

 Super Girl had a great time!

 She even dressed up as a dragon briefly...

 But if you party this hard you have to be prepared for the inevitable crash...Good night birthday girl!

 This month Super Boy has his 1st pinewood derby, he and I made his car the other day...

Super Boy designed it, helped cut it out using a coping saw,sanded it, painted it, and put numbers on...isn't it a beauty!

So that's what we have been up to! Who knows when I will get another post done...so I hope you really enjoyed this one!
