Happy Sunday Before Christmas

Today for sharing time the kids acted out the nativity story. Their props and costumes were so cute! they had such a fun time reading about the birth of Jesus and then singing lots of Christmas songs! We have got one cute Shepard!!!

Then after church while we were still cute and matchy we took some family pictures!

In nursery Jarom completely destroyed his cute new sunday outfit, so we had to take off his pants for the drive home, they were drenched in milk! Hopefully all will come out in the wash so he can be just as handsome next week at church in CALIFORNIA!! YAY!

Christmas Countdown!

8 days until Christmas, 7 days until Christmas-Eve!!... December has flew by so far... well... at least for me! :) Hope to hear more posts from everyone! Bye!!

Happy 50th Anniversary!

One Month!

Jacob and I have been married for one month today! Happy Anniversary to us! Unfortunately I can't take a picture of how cute we are today....so just know, we are super cute!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!! Grandma, Grandpa, and my family, we're in San Luis Obispo, and we went out to Thanksgiving lunch at Marie Callendars... and guess what, with all the ocean views, we got stuck in the basement/downstairs!! And the dishwasher... i mean kitchen manager came out and said Happy Thanksgiving, and we thought it would be the chef coming out and saying that! Well, talk to you later!

Wedding Pictures

Ok, here are some pictures of Aunt Rebecca's wedding, and the wedding cake I made. :)

Busted!

Jarom thinks the world is his canvas, but it isn't! He got busted today and had to scrub a couple walls. This kid LOVES to color just like Paisley, but he doesn't keep in on paper like paisley is now trained to do. I tried to find the picture of Paisley also scrubbing walls with a magic eraser, but I couldn't find it. Good news though, Jarom loves to scrub walls, so I see a very good cleaning buddy in my future!

FHE Craft

I saw this cute snowman in a window display as I was driving by a store, so tonight we figured out how to recreate it! It was a lot of fun, and Jarom sure loves his new friend who is almost as big as he is!! What a fun FHE tonight!

Craft Fair

This weekend I had my second craft fair! Some of my good friends joined my booth and so here's the set up before the fair started. We had lots of fun hanging out and meeting new people! What a great way to network! Jason was so great and entertained the kids all day with games, the library and coming to visit at the craft fair!

Rebecca and Jake wedding pictures?

Was anyone able to go? Did anyone take pictures?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Aunt Marti!!

Paisley's Birthday Party

Today was Paisley first friend birthday party! It was a cupcake themed party, and it was tons of fun!! Here is her cute cake!Jarom getting ready to play pin the sprinkle on the cupcake!

Everyone got their own cupcake piggy bank to paint, they turned out lovely!

Paisley painting away. She had a lot of fun, and surprisingly didn't pick pink or purple to go on hers.

Everyone else lined up for pin the sprinkle on the cupcake!

The results of the game:

Paisley's friends were very nice and gave her some very fun toys and games. Lots of princess stuff here!

Singing and blowing out the candles.

After the party Jarom liked wearing the blind fold as a headband. Paisley LOVES her new baby alive, but she has already been told we will not be taking advantage of the diaper part of this baby! :)

Cute Daddy and Jarom!

My cake was awesome if I do say so myself. I added a pink center to the cake. I do have a cupcake mold thing that helped. I also had cupcakes from the left over batter so most kids chose a cupcake instead, so we have LOTS of cake. Anyone want to come over tonight for cake?

The party was a success! Since it was Paisley's first friend party, it was our first time running a party and I was a little nervous. Everyone paints at different speeds and such so I was nervous about the timing of things, luckily in between activities everyone wanted to go downstairs because apparently Paisley has some pretty fun toys! Yay us! It was fun but I'm glad we don't have to do this again for a few years!

Fire Fighter Paisley

Today was a field trip to the fire station! It was a blast! I was lucky enough to be one of the drivers so I got to go along and take tons of pictures. It was so much fun to see all the big fire trucks and where the firemen sleep and all sorts of things. Here are a couple pictures from the trip!

Another Blog

Ok.. My friend from Hawaii and I are experimenting with selling bracelets that we make.. so we make a blog crazybracelets.blogspot.com and an email
crazybracelets00@gmail.com. So, we haven't been able to put any pictures on that blog yet, so.. there will hopefully be some on there soon. Just thought I would let people know! (Tell ur friends.. hehe :D )

Upcycled!

Upcycling isn't a new concept, but I haven't ever found an object that I had a great idea to turn it into!! I am so proud of myself for this awesome project that literally took 5 minutes to complete. Here it is. It is also a do it yourself project if you ever find yourself needing to upcycle a frame!

This awesome frame was a fantastic find at Goodwill!! I love the shape for obvious reason (clue: my store name is The Purse Place) but I hated the fabric. Plus it was just old and dirty. So I bought this bad boy with the idea to reupholster it! Here we go...

Here is the finished product. I was going to keep it a frame but then decided it looked cute as just a purse!

And bonus, since it is a frame I have the option of having it stand upright! SO CUTE! This is going to be such a cute accessory at my next craft fair! So next time you are browsing a thrift store, if you see something you love, but hate the fabric, it's nothing a half yard of fabric and a staple gun can't fix!

Personal Progress/Song

Hi guys! Sorry, the camera isn't cooperating, so i can't put the pictures on quite yet. I finished another personal progress project. So that will be 3 down, 5 to go. For the one I just finished it was Divine Nature, and I wrote my own arrangement of The First Noel. It is on sheet music because someone in our ward let us borrow their little device! Talk to you later... congrats. aunt jen! :)

p.s: there is now a personal progress online!!! LDS.org under young women! :)

It's a girl!!

This is at 19 weeks and 1 day (today). I don't normally have that little pooch. As you can see I am not showing much yet.

SORRY!!!

Cake for Ward Talent Show

Here are a couple pictures of the cake I made for our ward talent show tonight! Enjoy!

This is Paisley after church wearing her new skirt I made Saturday night! She loves her new primary teacher, and who wouldn't when you get to have cute sack puppets like that!

Here is our big Paisley on the second day of school!

About Food!

Well... I made a cake! It was probably my fanciest cake I've ever made. And our garden was a huge sucess... especially with the squash/zuccinni. what ever it was! So, I will try to post pictures on as soon as I can!!

Off to School

Paisley is off to her first day of Preschool! She was so excited all morning. She called Jason and got a pep talk from him, (she didn't need it) and off we went. She was happy to take pictures of every little thing.

She was very excited to put on her backpack and head out the door.

In front of school!
Good Beginnings Preschool that way
Here is her backpack hook! Right by the OTHER Paisley in her class hook!! I didn't think we'd ever have double name issues in school with her!
She knew right where to go to get the dolls out and start playing. She wasn't nervous at all. Just very excited to go to school! What a big girl she is!

Happy Birthday Dad

We hope you have a wonderful day and get lots of ice cream. We love you!

The Final Days

Since Taryn requested the ending to our trip here it is. The final days were slow compared to the rest of the trip. They included meeting spiderman!

Going to IKEA on the bus. It was our first time going to IKEA and the place is INCREDIBLE!

More subway rides and buss rides!

Playing with toys in our hotel room!

Our last taste of the delicious Tichy Gelato! Yum yumm!!

A HUGE rain storm that soak us through! We had to run from the bus stop down a block into the hotel and we were soaked by the time we got to the lobby!

And finally great seats on the plane home that let us use this great baby seat for when Jarom was sleeping! The trip was so long, but equally amazing!
