Baby blankets

These are some baby blankets that my mom has made. We picked out the fabric and I LOVE them. She was going to sell one at our Franklin Fall Festival but didn't think another teacher really liked it and so decided that it must not be that cute and so she didn't want to put it in the basket. It's the pink one, which is my favorite. She had me take these pictures so she could send them to her sister, my Aunt Kathy. So I decided to put them on my blog because I think they are so stinkin cute!! So I am sharing how wonderful my mom is and what skills she has in the baby blanket area, with my assistance of course.

Halloween costumes.

This was a first. I didn't have to make my kids stand there and smile. Annie was happy, the boys were happy, Teila is always happy. I took the pictures; it was a small miracle.

I told them to pose and this was the result, I love it!!

I'm so lucky to have these kids!!

Halloween!!

I know I have posted in a while. I will explain why after Nov. 14th, so check back then. I usually post when I am 'persuaded' too, usually by a loving sibling, anxious to see more pictures. So, Karen, these are for you.


CARVING!!
First you remove the guts!






Then Uncle Will helps draw the picture...



Then you carve, CARVE, CARVE till you can't stand it anymore. At least that's what I hear. I've never actually done it.

John worked so hard carving this little pumpkin for Joseph. And he did a great job all by himself!
Joseph loved that pumpkin.

Auntie Lydia helping Teila and 'Uncle' Steven

Mom Jarman and Steven


John carving his own pumpkin.


Our pumpkin carving party was fun at Will and Anja's. What a great FHE idea Anja had. The kids had fun and Grandma and Grandpa Woodrome came. (at least mom j and grandma look cute)


This is the outcome. Teila's (that Eddie did), John's and Joseph's


This is Lydia's pumpkin. Will drew it, and it was awesome!! But Lydia did the hard work.

GO WESTWOOD!!!


Will can always make it better. I think he was 'advising' Hannah on what to do. But Johnny for one won't hear of any 'advice' from any one else. Uncle Will knows...
