Craft Night!

Hi family and friends! I have been trying to think of something I could do once a month to get together with friends and family for a girls night. I REALLY love crafting, but get bored with scrapbooking so I wanted to start a Wood Connection Craft Night. Each month I will put pictures of three crafts I want to do and you all can do the voting on the one you want :) Which ever craft wins for the month is the one we will do! Every craft night will be held the last friday of the month at 6:00pm at my house. I will provide snacks and everyone can bring a little something to share. I don't have very many seasonal decorations (besides Christmas) in my house so this will also help us all slowly acquire unique household decorations at little cost. This will be so fun! Now lets start the voting for Semptember 30th Craft Night it's Halloween themed!

#1 $12.00#2 $22.00
#3 $16.00

VOTE NOW!

Jack Jack

So yesterday morning I had an huge urge to sew, at 6am...
Sewing is my only known stress reliever and I was feeling well, CONSUMED. So I decided to make jack jack a cute bib :) I used all scraps and things I already had in my craft room so it was FREE (another known stress reliever.) I found those "Made with love by mom" tags at Joann's I'm going to make it a habit of always attaching one onto all the homemade things I make for our family. Here is Jack modeling said bib. Oh and there are a few other pics I have taken it the past few days.

"Mom, it's 6 in the morning!"

"Okay, I'm awake now." And still adorable!

Underwear model. (He's taking pointers from his cousin Mason)

Oh husband!?!

Conversation between me and Chris TWO days ago:

(me) "Hey honey I'm going to be receiving a package here soon DON'T open it NO MATTER WHAT!"

(chris) "Don't worry, I won't :)"

Conversation between me and Chris Today:

(chris) "Hey you got a package (brings in OPENED package.)"

(me) "Remember how I told you NOT TO open the package?!?"

(chris) "Oh...oh ya."

(me) Happy Anniversary honey...

At least he was surprised! Happy Husband with HUGE soft minky blanket,(he's been asking for one for a long time now, and I haven't mastered sewing the edges of the shifty material yet.)

Can't sleep

I really miss my Maddie...I've been crying all day and night. I can't sleep, I was so used to her warm body in-between the covers and her curled up behind my knees. This is worse than a dog dying...because its hard knowing she's still out there, without me, me without her. Chris keeps assuring me it was the right decision, but I don't know if I feel that way anymore. Guess it doesn't really matter how I feel though right? It's too late now.

FuzziBunz

Yes Yes, I did it. :) I was converted into a cloth diapering mommy! We are very happy with this new change and we calculated all that we will be saving! TONS I tell you TONS!! With the brand we chose and the fact that we want more children, never buying disposable diapers again is a MEGA PLUS. You might not agree with me, but I promise to never try and change your view or thoughts on the subject. It was just the path we went and one we are happy with. Here is our CHUNK, he is so happy with his soft fuzzy bum, plus no red bum or diaper rash & I would have to add doesn't he look A-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! We sure love him..

Look at those thighs!!!!

Sad day...

Well...It was a sad day for the Kenner family today...we are now PET-LESS. Friday morning we got in trouble with the city for our naughty puppy Maddie getting out from under our fence and roaming the neighborhood (AGAIN). Someone finally called animal control and we were cited a $200 ticket, I got my way out of it though (phew!) And the officer on duty said if there is nothing we can do to contain her she will eventually be picked up and put in a shelter and put down...We did NOT want that, so-we found her a more suitable home. An older couple who live in North Salt lake. They have a fully fenced yard (that is dog proof) and can give her the attention she needs since they are home all day and retired. I am sad, but I know it was the right thing to do. Maddie was to the point where we were getting calls EVERYDAY from random neighbors informing us that they either had our dog or saw her crossing the street. She had it SO good though! My mom made me feel better though, she said once dog's get it into their systems to "flee" they can't stop. That's how our dog Angel was I guess growing up. I sure hope Maddie is happy and treated well. She was my baby for 3 years and I will miss her but cherish her memories.

Chole. She's another story. Just ask ANYONE, she was an EVIL cat. The last straw was one of our renters J.C was walking past her minding his own business and she started hissing and attacked him. We didn't want that type of animal with an unpredictable behavior in our home. TOO scary for Jack and our future children. She now resides in a military family home with NO kids I sure home they can help her find peace..

The house is so quiet now...(it is 1:05 am though) I miss all the pitter patters, and the quirks and personality they added to the family. We hope we can find more luck with our next pet :(
