Finally!!!!

About a month ago, I awoke one morning worrying about my kids. I thought that they would have to be freezing because they only slept with fleece blankets (besides the sheet). So I started that morning doing my reasearch on what kind of quilts that I would like to make for the boys. I don't really like the look of most quilts that I have seen in books. Don't get me wrong they look beautiful, but they really don't match my syle. So after I got discouraged from I went to see what the wonderful people of pottery barn do. I wanted my kids to be able to use their quilts when they are teenager so I went to PB Teen and found a couple of patterns that I liked (yes they actually sell quilts) and the boys picked out they pattern that they liked.

Dallin choose this pattern.


We spent almost an hour picking the fabric at Joanns. The fabric that he kept picking was the ones with neon colors on it. It took me awhile to convince him that the plaid was good and then once he agreed it went a lot quicker.

Isaac choose this pattern. The only problem was that within a hour he had changed his mind three times. So I choose for him.

While Dallin took a lot of time Isaac was really easy. While we were picking fabric for Dallin, Isaac had latched on to a piece of orange fabric so all I had to do was go through and pick colors that matched the orange and get Isaac's approval and he agreed with whatever I suggested.

I am excited that they are done and now I can move on to other projects that I have been putting on the back burner while I finished these.

Halloween

Since this year Halloween fell on a Saturday I thought it would be nice to go up to my family's in Logan after Jeff's work party. Dallin didn't want to go at first because he wanted to stay home and trick or treat here to see his friend, but he changed his tune soon after we arrived there.

Instead of going trick or treating around my parents house, my sister invited us up to her ward's trunk or treat. The kids had fun going from one car to the next getting candy. There was one car that had ran out of candy that was in a bowl Dallin just walked on by to the next car, but Isaac had to wait for the person to come and refill the bowl. He wanted his candy. We then went to my grandma James' house and saw her for a little bit and then we went to Aunt Susan's and Patti's formally my grandma Stockdale's house then we came home.

I seem to always forget my camera when I go up to Logan, but thank goodness for cell phones. So here are the pictures of that night taken with my phone.


Dallin is Darth Vadar and Isaac is Black Spiderman (he won't let you call him Venom)


We tried to take a picture with all three, but Austin (nightcrawler, but the also called him a blue devil. I thought he also looked like one of the monkies from the Wizard of Oz) had other plans.
