More Fun Blankets

I just wanted to show you more of the blankets I've done.......

I really like the Bee blanket. However I don't think I could pick a favorite.

The embroidered block ended up matching the pattern really well on this one, I also made a burp rag to match this one.

I also have a burp rag to match the green stipped one.

I hope you like them..... :)

Gideon

The dog SURVIVED!!! LOL . He got his stitches out and that silly cone taken off and he's back to being the annoying dog that I didn't really like in the first place lol. even the scars are minimal.

Slow recovery

Well, on Jan 2nd I got my wisdom teeth pulled out....It was so AWEFULL! I ended up getting dry socket in both of the bottom teeth. And then after about 3 weeks of that, I got a little bit of infection in my upper one. I go back in on Monday and I hope that will be my last appointment. I asked the nurse if the reason I've been haveing so many problems is that I wasn't cleaning good enough but she said that I was actually doing a really good job with the cleaning. The only good thing about the whole expeiriance is that since i couldn't eat anything I lost nearly 10LBS. I've actually lost a lot of weight since I had Corbyn. I back down to my pre-marriage weight.. :-)

Busy Bee's

Wow, It's been a crazy couple of weeks. But I want to show you a little of what my friend Lorinda and I have been up too.

<--------------------The table has been set up for nearly a weeks now and Lorinda has been coming over everyday to sew.

It sure has been a mess at my house but thats what happens when you go to the day after Thanksgiving sale at JoAnn's and the flannel is $0.99 a yard. Be baught so much. But its will be so nice to not have to worry about baby gifts for a while.

The finished products are turning out SOOOO cute. Last year Chad baught me an Embroidery Maching and so on the blankets I'm making I putting a little image in the corners. I think it gives it just a cute little extra. I don't know if you can see but on the pink one I sewed little flowers around the edge. I'm really happy how their turning out.

Poor Puppy (story is not for the weak of stomach)

Ok, so our trip to St. George could have gone a lot better. We couldn't get anyone to tend the dog while we were gone so we decided to jsut take him with us. And taking him wasn't a big deal anyway. But while we were there, we had an accident with the dog...:( We were pulling out of the drive way and Chad didn't know that the dog had gone accross the front of the car and the tire ran over the chain pulling the dog's head down into the tire. Oh the sound of his screaming still haunts me. So we get out and Chad is the first to see and there is blood everywhere. And those of you who know Chad knows that he does not handle the sight of blood well. So I get out and go over to try and unhook the chain from the house, but the back tire was on it. I went back to the dog who had run under the car, and Chad was able to get it unhooked from his coller. I got the blanket out of the back and told everyone to get out of the car. Chad put the blanket over the dog thinking that we crushed his head, but not realizing that the dog was sitting up. So we put the dog in the back and I road in the back by him while Chad drove to the vet. After we got him all checked in and hearing the vet seem to think he was ok we left for a while. We went back later to see how he was doing and the vet said all of the blood was just a bloody nose but he was going to have to stich his eye shut becasue it was so swollen he thought that it might cause the eye to come out. So anyway he had to stay the night so we drove home a day late and Chad had to miss a day of work. When we picked up the dog the nurse was having a hard time getting him out of the kennel until I called to the dog and he came right over to me. It was so sweet. the rid home was very uncomfortable for him but he seems to be doing better. Here is a picture if you dare to look.....it was taken the day after we got home. The green thing you're seeing is not his eye it is a green button that the vet sewed on.

And then this picture was taken today. it looks a lot better because the sweeling has gone down. apparently the vet didn't sew the whole eye shut and since the sweeling is down he can open the lid.
He's doing really good. he of course is on drugs and so he's just been sleeping a lot but he started wagging his tail and just looks like he's starting to feel better. It could have been a lot worse. but since the tire just basicly (from what it looks like) side swipped his face there were no broken bones just soft tissue damange around the eye. He hates wearing the coller but wont leave his stitches alone. he has to have the stitches for 2 weeks and it's already been a few day's. He has been extra clingy and snuggly. And we're thankful that he will be ok..

Busy time of year.

Poor Guy Update

So Carsyn's thumb got a lot worse. it's so gross. He is loosing his nail for sure. I've started clipping it back. But he wont let me anymore because he say's he doesn't want his nail to come off. He doesn't understand that it's already dead and it will grow back LOL...He doesn't complain about it hurting. He only complains when I clip it. And he gets annoyed when I look at it.

Wii Fun

Apparently we have a Nintendo Wii. We had some friends who wanted a Wii so they asked Chad to let them know when wal-mart got one in stock. Well, they got 6 in stock and they were selling super fast so Chad bought one for our friends. Well they had already found one at a pawn shop and couldn't return it. Chad was going to sell it on e-bay and try to make a little profit but then after looking at it for a day he plugged it in and started to play it. I will admitt it is quite fun to play but it wasn't something we ever thought about getting. we just have never been people who think they "have to have" a game system. Carsyn is really getting the hang of it. It's really funny to watch him.

HOLY COW!

What a couple of weeks I've had. I know everyone is probably super annoyed that I haven't updated my blog forever. Last week I was supposed to get my wisdom teeth pulled but I ended up getting super sick. I was sick for a whole week! So I had to cancel my appoinment :( But I started to feel better and because of that I haven't been home at all! Hopefully things will slow down next week though. Today I'm just doing some cleaning, it hasn't been "cleaned" for like 2 weeks. Yesterday we finished up buying Carsyn's Christmas presants. When I ask him what he wants all he say's is "Lots of Cars" so that's what he is getting. It should be fun whatching him open his presants. Chad and I aren't doing anything for eachother. We decided that with his extra 10% bonus we would buy a 47"HDTV so that's what we did for our Christmas. Last night we had 2 Christmas parties to go to. Wal-Mart had their Party they took everyone bowling. And then for the VOI the president of the club (my dad) bought everyone pizza. It was a fun evening.
Last week My dad came down and helped Chad switch out the engines in his civic. They had a lot of fun doing that. and I think the car is all put back together and it sounds like it's runing good. SO anyway, that's a little bit of what we've been up to around here. This evening after I'm done cleaning I'm going to work on getting my Christmas cards sent out. I have a few more to make but at least I can get some sent.
I hope everyone is doing well.
