Celebrated 19 FABULOUS years together with my husband yesterday.

Love that man!

(I'm pretty sure we were like 12 years old when we got married)

Rebecca's braces are off!

Doesn't she look gorgeous?

What did we do on Saturday?

Well, I made these....(which took me way longer to make than they should have)

(Yep, that's right! 32 days left to get everything done!)

And when I went to upload the pictures, I found out the kids had a modeling session together...

Nate's friend Mason (Tanner)

The lovely Nate

The even lovelier Rebecca

And I'm pretty sure this is Sarah?(!)

Then I went out to eat with some really fun people and we went to see this movie after dinner. Great movie! Very heart warming. Not sure why it's pg13 other than maybe a tiny bit of violence? Perfect for getting you in the spirit of Thanksgiving!

Roll time again...

Remember these?

I think these rolls were about a fourth of what I ended up selling last year. I might be crazy because I've decided to do it again. This time I'm making them Wednesday too so hopefully it will be a little easier to get them all done without waking up at 2am on Thanksgiving day. I sent out an e-mail tonight at around 7pm and when I got home at 10:30 I had 26 dozen sold. I don't think it will be too bad this time because I waited a little too late to let people know I decided to do it.

We'll see...

Make a Necklace like one from Anthropology:

I saw this great idea on the infarrantly creative blog

She found this necklace at Anthropology for $58:

Then made it for around $5.00!

Here's the tutorial.

I might have to make it for my girls.

Shhh...don't tell!

Is it sad that I compare my weight loss to what size Krazy Sub shirt I'm wearing? Yes. Yes I think it is.

Craft night at the Krummenachers

I saw this wreath on the nanniegoat blog and thought it looked easy enough for me to try. It ended up being more work than I thought but I still got it done in one night and like it so much better than my old Christmas wreath. I found all of the ornaments at Dollar Tree so it was very cheap to make too! Check out the tutorial here. I ended up buying heavy duty wire at Home Depot instead of using a hanger like she did. I think the hanger would have held it's shape better than what I used but I wanted it a little larger than what the hanger was going to be. At first I made it really big but it ended up looking like a very long oval so I ended up having to make it smaller than I wanted anyway!
I also taught Rebecca how to make this tutu tonight and I think it turned out really cute! I think she learned that she needs a little more tulle next time but she really enjoyed making it and now wants to take orders and sell them as a way to earn some money for Christmas. I think we decided to make it worth her time she will sell them for $15.00 and maybe give a discount for anyone ordering more than one. She's really looking forward to doing this and I'm just glad that she's taking some initiative to earn some of her own money!

Halloween '09

Jake as Mario

Jake and Jackson as Mario and Luigi

Nate as a fat tourist

Nate's friends came to get him: Drex, Tanner, Mason, Nate, Brigham, Dallin, Michael, Jake

Natalia (Nate's costume zipper broke halfway through the night so this is what he came up with)

Sarah couldn't figure out what she wanted to be last minute so she put on a cape and called it a costume. She showed up to dinner and found her aunt Kelly dressed in the same outfit:

Sarah and her friends Lia and Kyleigh. They were all on the phone and wouldn't get off for the picture!

Rebecca with her friends Katelyn, Shaye, and Michelle. She went to Shaye's house so we didn't get to see her that night but she got a picture for me with her phone.

I had to post this because it was hilarious. This is Brent's brother Adam on the left and his friend Greg posing as Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze as Chip and Dales dancers. So funny.
