Some Crafts

I learned a new craft punch needle. It is so fun! This is the finished first project. I think it turned out pretty good for my first try. This is it up close. I did the punch needle part home sweet home then I stitched it on a pillow and added the beads as I stitched .

My mom sent me a rug to punch needle and so I am excited to start that project. Thanks Mom!


This is another school project for Branden!
Snow Man

We had fun gluing glittering and cutting.
We made it for his class to hang on the door or wall of the class room. They sent it home as a family project.

Branden & Baby Jack Jack!

I was tagged and this is my first tag. I go to my pictures and in the fourth folder and fourth picture. This is Branden and Baby Jackson Shawn Thomas. Branden was so excited to hold the new baby he just held him so still and looked at his cute little face and then kissed his little head. This is the oldest and youngest of the grand kids on the Thomas side. Not for long! Annette is having a baby boy.

We had a wonderful time being able to visit with Jackson for a couple of months while we were staying in Utah while Marcus was away. Jackson is growing up so fast and so darn cute he always has a smile!
I feel the blessings of our Heavenly Father when I look at his special face. Just the longing of My Brother Shawn and Sister in Law Pam wanting to have a baby and the long wait and many medical procedures they went through to get little Jack Jack here. You can really see the hand of God in his coming to earth to gain a body and especially such a LOVING MOTHER AND FATHER! to watch over this special gift!
Little Jackson is healthy and a perfect little man! I love him so much and Miss Him!

What a cute little nephew! You are growing so fast! Love you- Aunt EM

I tag: Amy, Jill, Lydia & Angela
good luck girls!

WELCOME HUNTER'S TO GEORGIA!

We surprised the Hunter's at the airport. Jefferson, Amy and Kaylee. Jefferson went to Westminster with Marcus and they got stationed the same place Augusta Georgia. We are so excited that they are finally here with us. Marcus is glad to have a friend in Georgia! From this to-Waiting and then They are here! We are here, we are here, we are here!!!!!This is the boys and they were break dancing at the airport on this display kids!We were glad to help out and surprise them. We moved to Georgia knowing not a single sole and staying in a hotel for 2 weeks and so we were able to help them out and give them the ropes of what is the best to do! Also we were glad because they had 5 suitcases and a stroller and so all of their stuff would of not fit in the car.

We had a fun little Christmas in Georgia!

Christmas Fun

With being away from family we are in the thinking mode of what kind of Christmas traditions do we want to do as a family. I decided that I would help the boys do some kind of Christmas craft and we would put the year on the bottom. This year we did a slanted Christmas house it turned out cute. We then made little nutcrackers. The boys each made their own they did a great job!

Last I wanted to share my handout for primary. I made little Baby Jesus and attached the note Jesus Christ is the Greatest Gift. I have fun making things.

Branden Lost A Tooth!

Yea! Branden lost his first tooth yesterday. He worked hard to get it loose. Branden ate an apple and wiggled it and then he said " Dad pull my tooth" So Dad got a piece of dental floss and tied it around my tooth and out it came. I got a visit from the tooth fairy.

New Hair

Pam wanted me to post a picture of my new hair do. I was at the movie Twlight and I liked Alice's hair. I called Marcus in Texas and said that I wanted to cut my hair like one of the characters on Twlight and he said Alice and I said yes how did you know and he said do it! You will look hot! I am still getting use to it and am getting better at fixing it.
