Random fun pictures!

I have cute pictures of my kids from the couple months and because of my bad blogging lately, they have not been posted for all of you to see! I cant believe how fast my kids are growing right before my eyes! It makes me excited for them to grow older and try new things, but then again it makes me so sad that my babies arent babies anymore. I am thinkin we may need another little one around here! I will have to convince my husband of that one! Please feel free to leave a comment on here to help me convince him how this earth needs just one more of our darling offspring to add to the bunch! haha!

Haha I love this picture of Lex!
Alexa loves her princess slippers! Maybe not so much though, when she goes slippin and slidin all over the floor! :)I had to capture alexa's first set of real piggie tails, where all the hair fit and I didnt have to use massive amounts of my favorite product to keep it in! It was a monumental day my friends!
All I have to say here is, this little guy looks EXACTLY like his Daddy!

This was one of the last few warm days for the fall season. Chayse was sick with swine flu and had been cooped up in the house for a few days, so we decided to head up the canyon,get some fresh air and have a picnic! It was much needed and we had a great time! I love Sunday afternoons with my little family!

I love it when the camera catches these kinds of pictures! Its not what you see when you push the button, its even better! :)
He is hot and I love him! :)
That cute little ladybug's name is Howell. Chayse named him. He loved him. He was in our family for all of about 3 minutes til Chayse said he didnt want him anymore and I flicked him out the window.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving at Brandon's parents house a few days ago! LaDonna put together a fabulous meal and it was fun to hang out with family! Unfortunately Brandon had to work at 2 and I had to set up for NovemberFest at 3. So it wasnt a long drawn out, day of laziness, relaxing and playing fat dog. Oh well..such is life! :) We made the best of the time we all had together though!

Later that afternoon, me and the guys headed down to set up my booth for NovemberFest. Travis built me some pretty awesome shelves to display all my work! I am so thankful for that, otherwise I wouldnt have had a clue as to what to use for a booth! Thanks for everyone's hard work and support in helping me do this! It was alot of fun and I handed out a TON of cards, so that was good! Here is a picture of my booth. (I don't think the pictures do it justice though. It looked a lot cuter in person!)

I am so thankful for this time of year and the closeness that is felt through the holidays! I am thankful for my family and for the love and support they show me! I am thankful for Brandon and the for the great husband and father he is! Love you babe! I am so lucky and have so much to feel blessed for, and that I am thankful for! ;)

Featured in Utah Baby Guide Magazine

Sometimes I forget that not all my friends and family have facebook, so some of you may not know that I was featured in Utah Baby Guide Magazine. My fabulous friend Jessica runs it, and does such a great job! Its a great magazine with lots of fun and informational articles! Thanks for the opportunity Jess! I am excited to share my work with everyone, and gain more business through advertising with her! Check it out at www.utahbabyguide.comI am also doing a booth at NovemberFest, which is a local arts and crafts fair here. I have been so excited to do this, and ya...lets be honest..a little nervous. Hence the nightly dreams about how I screw the whole thing up one way or another! :) Oh well, it will be a blast no matter what! Make sure to come visit me...(ok ok..all of you who dont live here dont have to..but all of you who do..no excuses! ;) )

Just a SLIGHT addiction!

So for those of you who don't know...I have a SERIOUS addiction to this....In highschool my friend Heather would monitor my sprays if she was around when I was getting ready. 12 was all I got. Ya, the second she turned her head..I started goin crazy with it..then as soon as she turned around..."3..(spray) 4..(spray)..". Ya it was really pathetic. Admittedly there was times that if you touched my hair, you would have felt it was worthy enough to pass for a helmet.


My sister would ask me if Brandon minded that he couldn't run his fingers through my hair. Haha...as if I would let him even try!!! Don't mess with the poof!

Then I came along Paul Mitchell Freeze & Shine. Now I have used this in the past, randomly here and there..but never when I "poofed my hair". Lo and behold...it keeps my hair volumized without having my hair feel like i put shalack (sp?) on it. Oh what a fabulous product!

Oh yes my friends. That is a very large jug of hairspray. I have to buy it through the black market (a.k.a my friend who is a cosmetologist).

A bit extreme? I know there are people out there who do the same thing! Uh hem...Amber (Bailey) Read. Ya I had to out you too! :)

So if you ever run out of hairspray...you know where to come get some...for a price.

P.S. Crossing my fingers very hard that I don't ever become allergic to hairspray. I would have to resort to a wig or move out of Utah.

hApPy HaLLoWeEn!

We started off the day by heading to the mall with my friend Angie and her little ones, to go trick or treating there! It was fun, but SO crazy there! It was more packed than I had ever seen it, and it was all we could do, to not let our kids get ran over by the mobs of people! The kids liked getting the candy though, and we do it for them right!? :) After we made it through the mall we took the kiddos to McDonalds and it was fun letting them play while we chatted! I had a great time Angie! Cant wait to hang out again!
Then I took the kids home and it was quiet time, for them and ME! :) I am suprised Alexa went down after all the candy she insisted on downing! She was seriously so crazy about that candy! She had to stop and check it out everytime she got a piece and she was constantly trying to unwrap something. Towards the end of the night, she got pretty sneaky and would hide behind the couch and keep peeking her head around to see if we would catch her. It was pretty cute. Chasye was pretty much a man on a mission when it came to getting candy. He didnt talk much..just saw his course and made sure he got through it with candy in basket from each store! Loved it!

After quiet time, we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Leavitt's so the kids could go Trick or Treating at Grandma's door. We had some yummy soup in pumpkin bread bowls. They were cute! Soup bowls is one of my favorite dinners! Grandma and Stacy definitely hooked them up with lots of candy and they were excited! Thanks guys!

Then we went over to our ward's Trunk or Treat. We were about 25 min late, and didnt think it would be over, but there were only a couple cars left! :( The kids were sad, but got over it once we said we could around the neighborhood. There weren't too many people home, but I dont think the kids could have lasted much longer! They had a fun filled, sugar filled day!

Hope you all had a fun Halloween! She sure did! :)
