New Etsy account = a WINNER!!

I dont know who even looks at this blog, but if you have seen my blog then you might know that I sometimes make little designs on baby onesies. I recently made a Harry Potter halloween costume out of two baby onesies for my dear friend Kayla. And in return, she helped me set up an etsy account! However, I am very new at this whole etsy selling thing, so she's helping me. 
(depending on what gender they would like, I have some boy onesies, and some girl onesies)


Good luck everyone!!!

Primary Program

I am currently the teacher for the 8yr old primary class, they are adorable! And for the primary program this year I brought these treats. The kids loved them, and they were SOO easy to make!

I just drew out the CTR shape with a permanent marker onto some wax paper, then placed melting chocolates into a Ziplock bag and piped it out. So simple. When its dry just peel off and place on top of green frosting.

Halloween "Booing"

Spencer and I were able to watch our cousin's kids or a weekend while they were in Vegas for the Ragnar. They have four BEAUTIFUL girls! Thats right, I said G.I.R.L.S! Anyone who knows Spencer, probably knows that he wants only boys. 4 boys would be perfect to him, so watching 4 girls... well we thought it might be a tad bit of a challenge. However, he handled it beautifully!! I think that was God's way of telling him he'd be fine with only girls. Especially because we can only ever agree on girl names! It took us two years to come up with a single boy name that we both kind of, sort of liked. (I like to tease him about that) Anyway, we had a BLAST with these girls! We played loads of games, made adorable owl cupcakes, and went to the Spookapalooza at the Expo Center. I only got to take pictures of the cupcakes with my camera, everything else is on Nancy's camera. So I'll show you our cupcakes that we made, but otherwise just imagine lots of duct tape roses on pens, face painting, jump houses,  and Spencer playing baseball in the back yard... with girls. :)

Bring on the tunes!!!

These are going to be CONSTANTLY playing throughout the next two months.. with a few others mixed in.





If you are about to tell me that I am skipping a holiday, I assure you, I am not. There simply arent any classic Thanksgiving songs that I care to listen to. (including Adam Sandler's rendition.) So, I am just lumping Thanksgiving/Christmas together! And I just so happen to LOVE Christmas music. Sometimes I listen to it in June. Dont hate. If you think Im crazy.... just be glad you dont live with me. :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!
(Im so happy we can start saying that!)


Halloween fun!

Our Halloween festivities started out with pumpkin carving at Sam and Jen's with all the nephews and nieces. (Kylie isnt the only girl cousin in Utah anymore! Thanks Reagan!) Everyone had a blast! Gabe invested in my help for his pumpkin.. to say that this kid is obsessed with the Vikings would be a HUGE understatement. I mean HUGE. So these were his pumpkins... 
awesome right?

And this was my inspired pumpkin for this year... it didnt turn out how I'd hoped.. maybe next year.



Also, my dear friend Kayla has a new little bundle of Joy in her home this year!! Dont get me wrong here, he's almost 3 months old.... but he JUST came home last week, so we are SO happy that he's doing well!! You can read his story here. But he is seriously such a doll!! And his darling mother is incredibly just a tad bit obsessed with all things Harry Potter. So of course, with the new one in tow, she wanted to be the whole clan. Harry, Hermione, and Malfoy. She asked me to make Stetzyn's Harry Potter Halloween costume, I was SO excited! So this is what we came up with.
Isnt he just the cutest?
Anyway, Kayla's going to help me set up an etsy account, so if anyone wants a personalized, one of a kind onesie for your kiddos, hit me up!! And have a happy Halloween!!!
(Also, be expecting LOADS of cupcake pictures to be popping up on  here... we barely had any trick-or-treaters, so now we are dealing with candy overload! .... who wants some cupcakes?!)
