I made these wigs today for Dane and London's Halloween costumes.....anyone want to guess what they are going to be?

30 Min Of HELL

My poor, poor Jack. Life with twins has some SERIOUS trials for the poor little guy. Yesterday was the PERFECT example of what his day consists of. He sat down on the ground to read some books and the babies SWARMED him, because this is what they ALWAYS do. As he was trying to tell them that he just wanted to read for a minuet alone London (of course London) hits him with a ball. This make him break into a million pieces. Then Dane (because he saw London do it) hit Jack as well, with a huge smile on his face. At this point it seamed like there was going to be no recovery for Mr. Jack at all. I picked him up and took him up into my room so he could have some time with just himself and his books. Of course London followed us so as I was shutting the door Jack got his toe stubbed. This sent him into another hysterical fit. I shut the door behind me which send London into hysteria and went down stairs to get a bandaid because we all know that a bandaid fixes EVERYTHING. In the kitchen I found Dane having way too much fun for one little boy. He had found the Brown Sugar and was eating it by the fist full's and had it scattered ALL OVER from hither to thither. I decided at that point that he might as well just enjoy himself so I took the bandaids upstairs to my hysterical Jack. Of course London was still SCREAMING outside the closed door. I went in the room and shut the door behind me, this REALLY ticked miss London off but I figured that Jack needed some one on one time no matter what the babies were up to. So I sat down and cleaned him up with now London and Dane screaming at me through the door which was fine with me because at least I knew that they weren't getting into anything. I sat with Jack and read 4 books to him, we read until I knew that he had a few minutes with just his mommy and no babies BUGGING him. I think Jack gets a one way ticket back to heaven for being the big brother of twins:).

Little Mama

Jack: "OK, mom we are going to play mommy"

Me: "OK"

Jack: "I'll be the daddy, London will be the mommy and Dane will be the son"

Me: "OK , lets go out of my room and do it downstairs"

Jack talking to London: "Come on Little Mama"

Now I call miss London Little Mama, it's just too cute!

RILEY

6 years ago today I made the best decision of my life, I married the my of my dreams!!! Riley has been the man who comforts me when I don't deserve comforting, he has been the man that brings be back to solid ground when I feel like I can't stand at all. He's the man that fills me from head to toe with pure perfect love. Riley fills my soul with joy and purpose, I really don't know where I would be today without him.

When I was in the hospital on bed rest he was my everything, he stayed with me every singe night in that hospital on a terrible chair and he did it because he knew how close I was to breaking into a million pieces.

When I don't get things done around he house he never judges, he simply tells me that he can't believe that I'm in one piece after taking care of all the little ones all day.

When I snap at him he forgives me so quickly, I'm sure I don't deserve this.

Riley is one of the hardest workers I have ever met. I couldn't have picked a better man to take care of this little family of ours.

I didn't realize that when I married Riley in the Temple how important that choice would be to me. The covenants I made that day govern my life and they are more important to me than any thing in this world. Knowing that I have him and my little ones FOREVER is more than a girl can dream for. I'm so grateful that he made the hard, good choices that led us there.

I simply adore you Riley, thanks for being mine and choosing me! I LOVE YOU!

My Little Hippo

We went to Bear Lake and this is my little Jack being a baby hippo. He sat there like that for like five minutes. I could eat this little guy, SO CUTE!!!

Scripture Totes!!!

The pics aren't very good but I had to share. I am in the Beehives now and I wanted to do something special for them. So I am making all of them these Scripture totes. I had them fill out a "getting to know you" paper and had them tell me their favorite colors and and favorite patterns. These are two if the results. I have 13 girls so it was too much work to make them all at once so I am only making a few a t a time. The girls team teach once a month so I decided that every time a girl teaches their reward it a Scripture Tote. This way they will be excited for when it's their turn, well at least I hope so. Also these are so EASY!!!!! I'll give you the steps really quick

1: Pick out two diff fabrics and get 1/2 a yard

2: Buy a place matt from the dollar store, try to find the thinest one you ca

3: Cover the Place Matt with your fabric but sewing the the two fabrics together, wrong sides facing each other.

4: Only sew 3 sides together so you can slip the place matt inside, just like a pillow case.

5: Once inside turn the raw ends in on the remaining side and sew.

6:Fold the cover Place Matt so the wrongs side it out, sew just the two sides together, left and right.

7:Then turn it out so the right side is facing out.

8:Get your ribbon and cut two pieces that are about 12 inches each, or as long as you want the handles.

9:Get your seam ripper and measure where you would like the handle to go then cut a small hole there, on both the right and left side.

10:take safety pin and attach it to your ribbon and thread ribbon through the hole and tie a knot. Do that on both sides then do that to the other side of the bad.

11: If you like the flowers on the bad then you cane make some however you like.

I know it sounds like a lot of work but it was really easy. Next time I'll take pics as I make it so it's easier to follow.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll help as best I can:)
