We don't say the Lord's name in vain...

Yesterday while driving Corben said "Mom we don't say the Lord's name in vain right!?" "That right." " So what is that word again Mom?"

Crazy New Passion!

So for Christmas I made shirts for my Dad and Step Mom and ever since I wanted to try other idea's out.

Here is a twilight shirt i made yesterday. I love my husband the tree and the pepole were his Idea. I love it!

My husband had this idea for a Cardnials shirt. We made one for everyone in our family and you can bet we will be wearing them on sunday! WOO HOO GO CARDS!!!!

I also made a twilight shirt for my sister in law for her birthday and she said I should sell them. What do you think, would you buy one?

Vernal, Utah Update

This past Wednesday Jed and I travel the 670 mile to check out this town and see if we could move our family there. Jed had his interview on Thursday and I met with a Realtor. He took me to a couple houses the first was a fixer upper, the second was ready to move in. I loved it. Well before we can figure out a house to get we need to know what we can get qualified for. We went to the bank and they pulled you our credit scores and said, you do not have good enough credit. Not a huge shocker. Jed has been out of work for 5 months and some things are late being paid. Well we were having a hard time knowing if we should move or not and we have been praying for and answer. So for all of our dear friends and family we will not be moving to Vernal, Utah. We could rent if we wanted to pay $1,700 for a small 3 bedroom. We just feel that Heavenly Father doesn't want us to move there right now. That is OK with me the High was 35 while we were there. Not a great place for a girl who loves the Phoenix summers!

Suessical the Musical!

Mt. Sky Jr. High is putting on a spring musical. It's Suessical the Musical. I had no clue there were try outs till the Dec. 18 when Alex's choir teacher called and said, "I really think Alex has a good shot at a lead roll can you please bring him by for a try out." Boys do they just not communicate or what? I ask everyday anything I need to know going on at school? "Nope".
Well he made one of the lead parts he is Jojo he is in every scene but 1. He has 49 out of the 64 rehearsals. Blah! I'll post more when it gets closer.
Hopefully Jed gets a job in town and we don't have to move to Utah! Update for people who do not know, Jed has a company interested in him in Utah and Jed and I are going up to check it out on Wednesday.

Home Made Christmas Presents

This year with a tight wallet I decided to make the kids home made Christmas presents. I was going to do allot of different things but our family received and over whelming amount of help this Christmas that only one was necessary. First I made Jedrek a Sock monkey!

When I was all done with that project I made Corben a sock elephant.

Alex wanted me to make him a color pencil roll up like his brother got from his aunt for his birthday but I found a cool pattern that hold color pencils and a small drawing pad.Can't forget Grandma & Grandpa! I made them a shirt with the kids hand prints on them. Instead of the same old panted hands I cut out the kids hands and taped them on to the shirt and sprayed it with bleach water. I love the effect and it good to know that the hand print won't come off after excessive washings! I have to give a BIG THANK YOU to my AWESOME sister in law who helped me embroider the wording on the shirts!I had a ton of fun doing all my projects and look forward to making more bleach water shirts!

Christmas

I'm getting excited for Christmas! I've made a few things for my family since we do not have any extra cash and I can't wait till I can post them! See ya in a few more days!

Oh on another note I have a few cute little kids say the darndest things.
Awhile back we had an incident and we were trying to figure out exactly what happened and the explanation was I didn't kick him his head just hit my foot.
Nice huh!

Corben's teacher related this to me. She was having the student that was in charge of finding out the weather look outside to see what it was and as they were coming back a little voice suddenly started to sing "I can see clearly now the rain is gone."
He is so silly like that all the time. I thought I would share a few cute little things since it has been awhile since I last posted anything, I have a bit to do it's just getting on the right computer so I can post the picture for it!

Till after Christmas!
