my recent sewing projects

 I made this quilt for my friend's son's bed.  I LOVED this pattern.  It was so easy and it could look so different just but using another color scheme. 

 And I made this bag for my sister-in-law for her birthday.  It was easy too, so I'm gonna make me one to use for my church bag since my current one is so boring.

Halloween 2012

We had a GREAT Halloween!  And the day after, Sam is still wearing part of his pirate costume.

 Look at my cute pirate.  All day Sam was saying he was Jack Sparrow.  I even asked him his name a few times and usually he's so proud to say "I'm Samuel."  But Halloween, he was Jack Sparrow!

 My little superman even has his own kryptonite...

 his binky.

 Phew! He got it back.

 And we even got a picture without it!

They had a great time trick-or-treating!  They got a ton of candy too.
We had a great night!  I LOVE these boys!!!

He was having a great time, and then...

he wasn't.  My baby is, evidently, very sensitive to cold!

New hair cuts

(Sam has really become quite the poser lately.  He used to run away when he would see me get out the camera.  Now I say "Smile," and he does this face.  What a cute face it is--I'm not complaining.)

The first snow fall of the year

It snowed for the first time this season, yesterday--October 24th.  That seems really early to me!

And it hasn't stopped snowing since!  I think we're in for a cold, snowy winter in Vernal!  I hope my California boy survives.

Sammy's first bus ride to school

 Sammy started a new pre-school and he gets to ride a bus there.  It is sooo nice--he loves it and it is so convenient for me!

 He wears this little harness so he can be belted into the seat.

 Here we are waiting for the bus to come...

 Look really close in that first window.  I will never forget that look on his face.  He was so confused and a little scared at seeing me stay behind while he drove away.  I was a tiny bit scared too.

 Quinn was so sad after Sam left.  Not even the big boy bike would cheer him up.

I got to snap a quick picture when I picked him up.  I think he had a great time.  YEAH!

Bluebell corn maze

There is this really cute place, just on the other side of Roosevelt, in Bluebell.  There is a corn maze and a pumpkin patch that you take a hayride to get to.  We went there for the first time last year and LOVED it.  This year, it was just the same--except for slightly higher prices.  The boys had such a fun time.  I think Quinn really liked walking through the corn maze.  There is another maze for the kids made out of hay bails too and a big slide to get out of it.  We had such a fun time.  Plus it was a beautiful day!  We'll probably make it an October tradition as long as we live here!
