Gordon's Blanket

Here you go Emily, up close!

What I have been up to!

So I have been working on the blanket and carseat cover since Gordon was born, and Kristi made this cute Diaper bag!

I love how it turned out and all coordinates! I love love the blanket and the back is so soft!
My pantry was driving me crazy, so I put it on my to do list last week!
And here it is, Jonathan loves it, he loves that he can walk in it and see what he can eat!

Spending my time!

These are the main fabrics of that I am using for Baby Girl #2! I just love them! Making things for her has sucked anytime that I would do blogging or posting. But I thought since it is almost the end of October that I should update and sew tomorrow! I am getting real close to finishing the car seat cover. It is turning very well! I will post pictures when it it is finally done!

Another finished Project

Kristi said that I needed to show off my banner cause it is way cute! I really like it. I think that I will be making a thanksgiving type one! It is a fun decoration!

Oh and here is a cute veido of Jonathan counting and jumping!

Projects for Jonathan's Birthday!

This was one of the projects that I have been working on and it turned out cute, and looks even better on Jonathan (pictures to come).
Jonathan LOVES curious George or Monkey George as Jonathan calls him! SO I decided to make him a curious George cake. It was a lot of work, but Jonathan loved and it was all worth it!

The Cutest Bag!

This was my project for the week! I love it!

The banner

So I had to include this cute picture of Jonathan sleeping. These are the two things that he has to fall asleep with these days. I just love that he tucks his blue bear under his arm!
So there a few of you that wanted to see how it turned out! So here it is! I am going to try a different pattern. There is a lady in our stake that sales them on etsy, and that one looks cute too! I will let you know when that happens!
Just a little update! So today was a HARD day! Sarah has just not been doing good (being her hppy self, and it is really hard on me). Tonight I had Dave give her a blessing. I think that she is having a hard time transitioning off nursing. Which makes it 10xs harder. But after the blessing she all of the sudden became her happy self. We are down to only 3 feedings and I know it is even going to get tougher when we drop the noon feeding for me and Sarah. I am really struggling with the fact that I won't get to see my little family at work during my lunch break. But, I know that its for the best especially if we can get past this point and help Sarah realize that real food fills her up! I also went to a spin class this morning and I used my road bike shoes and oh did it make a difference! I am really enjoying the hard workout (if you can't tell)!

The happenings in our life

Dave has been really busy with school this semester; he is taking 17 credits and there is a lot of busy work. But the end is in site and I am counting down the months! But I always love Wednesdays cause he comes home from school at 5 pm and doesn't work. So we get to eat dinner as a family and he helps me with putting the kids down. It is wonderful. I love you sweety! I of course think that this is an adorable picture!

Loretta made this and then put it as her picture on facebook; and I have been craving it ever since. So I made the different piece and Dave assembled it for dinner at my parents on Sunday since I had to work. It was great (I don't think that is looks as good as Loretta's but it still was good!)

I was trying to take a picture of all three of us, this was the best one. Which isn't that great but that is okay!Sarah is in the background hiding.

I haven't blogged in awhile and I feel so far behind. I don't know what I have been really up to. Just seems like I am trying to always get caught up on spring cleaning and organizing plus the normal cleaning; and the everyday things such as working, being a mother, practicing the piano and whatever seems to come my way.

I am getting really close to finishing a birthday banner that I am making for birthdays. They can be purchased upwards to 40 dollars on etsy. I figure I can perfect them for a lot cheaper. I will post it when I 'm done!

Kristi's birthday was this last week and we enjoyed lunch at a Chinese place, it was really fun to caught up with my sisters and Mom. We were the only ones in the restaurant; which made it even nicer.

Halloween Bags

These are Halloween bags that I made for Jonathan and Sarah. Last year I totally forgot about bags, so 10 minutes before we were going to go treat or treating I grabbed a blue gift bag that I could find! So last year Dave suggested that I make them one. So I did. I made small bags, although Sarah won't really use it. One of Dave's Co-workers has an embroidery machine, so I put their names on it. (Thanks Kara) I think they are so cute!

Whats going on

This is the dress that I have been smocking and it is finally finished. This is the first time, so there was some mistakes but overall I think that it turned out pretty good. Doesn't she look adorable!

Being together! Jonathan loves to be where Sarah is and visa versa. I think that this is just a cute picture!
So for Family Home Evening, we talked bout Jesus Christ. For the activity we usually toss ball around cause that is something Jonathan really enjoys (esp because it is really hard for him to sit still). I decided that the activity today would be dog pilling, and oh sis they enjoy this. Jonathan was just squealing and Sarah got in on the action too!

Our Sarah bear is just growing- and yes I say this every post cause it is so fast too me and what I am use too. Sarah pulled herself up on the couch today! It was great, I have been working on standing with Sarah cause she has a hard time with it. Sarah is all over the place, she is starting to replace her army crawl with a normal crawl, but if she wants something fast then she usually does the army crawl. Sarah really like the vacuum and seems to crawl to it a lot. Sarah loves to babble and jabber it is so fun to watch her. Sarah continues to be a joy!


Jonathan helping us clean out the garage. When we started it was way cold, so we of course bundled him up. So at first he just had his hat on and then he went in the closet and wanted me to put his gloves on. I thought that he was adorable. Jonathan was a great help, he loved vacuuming and just being outside. The bottom left picture he told me he was hot and ready to take off his jacket and boy was he hot. His hair was all wet from sweat! Got to love the random things you find in your garage- like a umbrella hat!
Jonathan loves to find Daddy's hats!
Jonathan is learning so much all the time. He continues to learn new words all the time- he now can say bless you (at the right time too). I always tell him I love him and he usually just makes a kissy face. But this past week he said "love you". It was so cute, I just loved it. He continues to make me laugh by the things he come up with- like the above picture he was done with dinner and I was doing something in the kitchen so I told him that he had to wait a minute so he was patiently waiting. When I turned around again he had the bowl on his head. He loves to feed Sarah and when he is done eating. Today at church during sacrament was the best Sundays we have had in a long time with Jonathan. We didn't have to take him out at all; all because a new food container. Jonathan is addicted to his pacifier, and we always said that when he was two we would get rid of it and this week he is two! I saw on someone blog about how they cut off a little each night, so then it wasn't functional anymore. Well, it is almost not working for him. He has really be struggling falling asleep although he is dead tried. But probably tomorrow will be the last of he before we say good to the pacy. What a sad Day for Jonathan that will be- but he will then be a big 2 year old right!

Dave and I have new callings we are back in the nursery, but this time together and in Jonathan's class. It is great, today we were set apart and was the first Sunday by ourselves. Jonathan loved having us in there and Sarah enjoyed crawling all over. Dave knows that this is the right thing for us, but he is still having a hard time not being with the deacons. He loved that calling.

This is the finish product of our hard work. For UEA we decided to clean out the garage so that we could fit both cars and not just one! I always forget to take a before picture!! Dave enjoyed his day off. He has been doing really well in his classes and also on staying up on his work. He has finally learned how to apply himself and stay on top of everything. He loves his program and the classes this semester. Good job sweety!

Our Wonderful Laundry Room

For what ever reason I never took any pictures of the before except for this picture o Jonathan and Dave. But just image a empty room with a washer and dyer with just two cheap cabinets above the washer and dyer. The Room was not functional at all!! I had stuff in box and it just would fill up with stuff so fast!! So this was our summer project that turned into fall, but hey it is done (minus a rod that needs to be out up above the dyer)!
The space in the middle is for me to sew at, and there is a great light under the cabinets that they put in that is wonderful!
The pictures are kind of blurry- sorry about that
This is a built in ironing board it is so nice! We had one of these growing up and its great!
This is the finished product, doesn't it look great! Thanks Dave for all your hard work- and also Grandpa who helped Dave so much, we really couldn't have done it without you! There was lots of learning involved for both of us! But I am so glad that it is finished and I can finally use it!
