I had a dream about some of my friends and family...kinda cool...

Alistair, Megan, Tara, Amanda, amber, and my cousin Lauren all came to visit 
me in Dugway as well as my family (mom dad and James). I had no idea because I was 
sleeping so deeply (in my dream). Lauren and Alistair came in my room while I was 
asleep and rearranged my room. I woke up and started to freak out 
because I thought someone had been in my house stealing stuff. I went 
out to the kitchen and they were all gathered around eating breakfast. 
They told me to hurry and get ready, we were all going to go 
out to dinner in slc (the husbands were in slc already hanging out). we left and I realized I had forgotten my pass to get back into Dugway so it took super long to 
go back and get it because they had to make sure I live there and 
everything. Then we were on our way to the Sky Box in slc. After we 
ate we ended up in India (all of us) and we were sitting in this 
boat/car watching a parade go down the street. I kissed Dave a lot. :-)
Alistair bought this HUGE carmel thing and shared it with me and then  I
gave some to my mom. When I was going to give it back it fell in the 
street. I jumped out and got it and gave it back. I asked her were I 
got it so i could get her another one and she said she has no idea. 
All the sudden we were in the ocean in our boat/car, our tour guide was 
going super fast and we were going towards the fireworks but passing 
things like volcanoes along the way (the whole time we were in India 
it was night) and then we stopped and watched the fireworks. Then I 
woke up.

Since we've  got a bed now it seems I sleep way better and have been having some of these interesting dreams. I guess I just miss the people in them so I have to dream about them to see them....

girls only.....just warning you now....

I found this and thought it was good enough to post, amen!

 

During a Period

• Uterus: I hope you didn't like your underwear.
• Stomach: EAT ALL THE THINGS!
• Emotions: I don't care that you were crying your eyes out ten minutes ago, that was freaking funny! Now go act like you're high until I see something that pisses me off.
• Stomach: ESPECIALLY THE CHOCOLATY THINGS!
• Uterus: Also I've decided to act like something's constantly punching me. I hope you don't mind.
• Thighs: I'm just gonna go ahead and feel like I'm made of lead, cool?
• Body: Oh all your clothes are going to look like crap and probably not fit.
• Me: Why??????

Halloween decorations with the kids

So I needed to figure out what to do with the kids this weekend. I wanted to do something easy with little mess since our last art project got EVERYWHERE. I am still finding finger paint on the walls :-/  I found this spider egg thing that I thought would be cheap and easy... and stupidly I also thought it wouldn't be very messy....well it was cheap with glue, cheesecloth, balloons, and the spiders it only was about $8. We did forget to get the fishing line when we went to Tooele. Dugway doesn't have things like that. So we used yarn to tie the spiders on and hang it up. But it WAS SUPER messy! Here is our cute project!

It took FOREVER to dry so I ended up finishing it Monday afternoon after the kids had left to go back to school. It turned out way cute!
Also so my mom said we could also make ghosts out of glue and cheesecloth. I really wanted to try it! She said flour and water would make good glue but I looked it up and decided just to do it with watered down Elmer's glue. It ended up working very well. so I made some ghost too (at this point the kids got bored and were off playing with Pookey). I used some gems I had for eyes.

Also for breakfast we made cinnamon roll pancakes which were super yummy but I had three and should have only had one, and ended up with a tummy ache (I forgot to take pictures of them o-well).
Later we went to the dog park and also decorated night shirts (they LOVED that!! It took them about an hour and a half maybe more..) Here's some more pictures!

fun weekend!

A romantic night for no reason!

So my sweet husband has been working his butt off, so I decided to let him relax a little while I made dinner. I also made him go out of the room while I got it all ready....candles and all! I made pesto pasta with grilled chicken on top, rolls, and broccoli! MMM it was so good! He came out and saw the table all set and romantic like and had a huge smile on his face. He turned bright red...hehe :-D I asked him why he was changing color and he said "you're cute baby." Anyway...we ate and later made these decilous beauties! mmmmm good food!!!

haha I looked terrible that night but whatev!

I am so proud of myself!!

So I bought fabric for my "single" room back in February and I re did a lamp shade I had and covered it in some of the fabric I bought, but I still had extra green and extra black fabric so... I got to work on Friday before my Dave got home from school and made this....

 If you would like to know how I did it... keep following!

First cut your fabric to about 1/2' bigger than you want your pillow. (keep in mind that you're going to stuff it so it will be a little smaller than what you cut) then fold it in half with the side you want to see on the inside.

After you get the fabric exactly in line with each side then start to pin about 1/4' from the outside. Pin all the way around it. Leave about a 4' hole somewhere on it so that you'll be able to turn it right side out and stuff it.

once you are done pinning all the edges (except to the one with the fold) all the way around minus your 4' hole, then you will want to get your sewing machine ready with the color thread you want to use. Don't forget the bobbin!

 Then you start sewing! Your going to want to follow the 1/2' line and sew about half an inch from the outside, keep it straight or your going to have an odd shaped pillow. If my machine had a back stitch I would start a tiny bit going forward and then use the back stitch just to seal the sewing, but it doesn't so I had to tie a knot every time I stopped (don't worry about this since you all probably have a back stitch). Don't forget to take your pins out BEFORE you get to them. Also keep your fabric lined up on both sides.

 After you have sewn all the way around (minus your 4' hole and the side that's folded) you can start turning it right side out through the hole you made. I start with the corners and then pull everything else out. Be gentle because you don't want your hole to rip open more than it already is.

Once you pulled all this inside out, now you can start putting batting in. I just took little chunks at a time (I also used an old pillow for batting). Start in the corners and get them how you want them to look and work your way to the hole. The more batting you put in it the less bumpy it'll be. So stuff it tight.

Once you're done stuffing it then you can take a needle and some thread and sewn up the hole. Make sure you make it the least noticeable.

 I tied a ribbon around mine. And then display it! (yeah that's our room...kinda sad huh?) Oh but that's the lamp I mentioned earlier! Sorry for the dots on the picture I don't know how to clean the inside of my camera...
