Gettin' My Craft On


So I spent the majority of the summer making an Advent Calendar for Christmas. I knew, being the slow crafter I am, it would take me forever and I needed to get an early start for the Holidays! I hand stitched most of it, since I didn't have a sewing machine to use until the very end, but I think it turned our pretty well. It took me a long time, slowly sewing during Emma's naps but it was fun and I learned some stitches along the way.  I got the template off Pinterest of course, and it should be pretty fun for us in a month or two. With each day there's a scripture that goes with it. Now that I'm done with that I'm starting a quiet book for Emma.



So this month has been busy with Josh starting school and interviewing for lots of jobs. It's stressful but exciting preparing for the next chapter of our lives after school.

Emma is always the charmer at our house! We think she's the cutest thing ever.


A favorite past time is pulling all her baby food out of the pantry and rolling around in it.


She loves fruit and bread and we discovered she hates peas. We have a video of her grabbing pineapple pieces one after another. We'd sneak a pea in to see if she would notice and she would grab it and drop it to the floor...everytime haha! Smart girl!  At least she likes other veggies. She has such a cute happy personality and laughs and squeals all day, while saying her favorite word Dada. She'll say Mama if I ask her to and will give me kisses after so I'm okay with that:)


Oh yeah, and we made this rad Jenga Man for FHE one Monday night.


These two sure do make life fun!
