Trunk Or Treat

This year with Halloween falling an a Sunday we decided not to let the boy's trick or treat.

But our Ward had a Trunk or Treat on Saturday so they got to get plenty of candy.

ODST Jedrek

Alex and his friend Griffin dressed up as the Men in Black
but I failed to get a photo of them.


Here is our trunk. A feast of brains and slimy animals!

I won a prize for my trunk!

After our Jack O Lanterns died I found a blog post

on these cute Jar Jack O Lanterns. Perfect for the Az weather!

Jack O Lanterns

These were our Jack O Lantern's this year.

Sadly they only lasted 6 day's.

Jed carved this one of Jack Skellington

Alex's creation.

Corben drew this out on paper and Jed remade it on his pumpkin.

Corben and I carved this.

Jedrek's pumpkin.

Jedrek's 10th Birthday

Jedrek had a Pokemon party again this year. We said it was a water battle and had our water slide out and a water volleyball game I found on clearance. But we failed to get pictures of the activities.

Jedrek's present from Mom and Dad

The Pokeball he requested as his cake.

(thank goodness haven't been on my A game for cake decorating this one was an easy one)

Making a wish! He got them all out on the first try!

Happy Birthday Jedrek we love you!

First day of school

I know it's been awhile since school started but I've been under the weather with this baby and not feeling like posting. Better late than never!

Corben

Brothers.

Alex started High School this year and I failed to get a picture of him before he left for the bus.

Let's try this again...

Well Here we go again! So far so good, I'm almost 12 weeks!

Hoping everything goes smoothly!

Rag Quilt

One of Jed's good friends from Best buys wife is pregnant and we were invited to there

baby shower. A few week before was his birthday party and we were invited

and just for small talk I asked her what her theme was for her baby and she said

Elephants! We'll a light went off in my head and I know what I had to do.

I had picked up a yard or so of this Elephant fabric for burp clothes at SAS

and knew I had to go get more to make a rag quilt for them. I've been wanting

to make one and this was a perfect time to make it!

I got the instructions here. I omitted the batting in the middle so

it wouldn't be so hot since it is made from flannel any how.

Here it is... I love the way it turned out.

Back
Up close. Once it gets washed more it will frey more.

I made a card to go with it.

Safari Baby Shower Cake

I was asked by a friend to make a cake for her sister in law's baby shower.

They didn't have any request besides the flavor and filling.

I logged on to her gift registry and found her bedding

and came up with this cake.

I had a fun time making all the Animal's.

It was a technique I've been wanting to learn...

The animal's were a bit heavy and didn't want to stay but...



I think it turned out pretty well!
