Not much going on

Not much to blog about. Life has sure slowed down since december. Todd started his new job yesterday and we are praying that it treats us well. Getting tired of this 3 year ich. Ready for something to stick and truely support our family. So everyone pray that Todd will do great. As for me the apron buisness is on hold for a short while till the funds are properly there to start it up right. However I did sell 2 more today (thanks Tori) and so that will put a little more food in our mouths. The kids are doing good other than Marcus who has had a nasty cough for about 5 days. Has missed 3 days of school we will cross our fingers that tomorrow he will be good enough to send him back. Take care everyone stay safe and love everyone around you!!!

Snow anyone?

16 plus inches of snow. This is on my back deck and it is still snowing here in PG. We got about 10 inches since yesterday. It is much needed snow and will be benificial for us this summer but come on is it winter or what. It's been years since wev'e had such big snow storms.

Look at my patio furniture. CRAZY!!

This snow is from this storm a good 10 - 12 inches.

Sewing lessons

Ever since I started sewing all the aprons in december McKayla has been begging me to teach her how to sew and I would keep telling her later. Well today she asked again and so I told her yes. She was so happy. Here are some pictures of the fun project. We started simple and taught her how to make a bag. We cut it out and then with a little guidance she sewed it together. She did a good job and with a little practice she will be great.

Slowly feeding it through the machine. Watch your fingers!

She was so focused during this process and if you know Kayla that takes alot to sit that still and focus.

What do you think?

So I went to the temple yesterday with my sisters and brother n law (thanks Maria for setting that up) and when I was in the session this pattern POPPED into my head and it keeps bugging me so this morning I said ok I'm going to try and put whats in my head into action. There are a couple of things that I'm going to tweek but for the most part it's pretty much what was in my head. Tell me what you guys think and if I should sell this pattern. Each of the tiers are layered and it is all still double backed they are not connected they are all loose. There are no pockets I just don't know where I would put one. So what do you think?

Last night was a fun night. We had no big plans and then my neighbors the Taylors called and invited us down. There were 4 couples and all the kids and we just hung out ate played the wii and had a good time. We left about 10:45 p.m. and came home where we rang in the new year with just the little fam. We put Cambree down at 11:00 and then Todd and the kids played the wii. Then at midnight we let Marcus and McKayla BANG some pans on the porch then came inside for some much needed bubbly. SPARKLING CIDER THAT IS. It was great and hope that this year with be anohter great one. Happy New Year!!!! 2009Cheers to another good year!!Todd's had a little to much to drink!
