What a good dog!

That's all I need to say about this video.

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Today we went and got our tree...YAY! There is a place called Lewis's Farm right by our house. We went and picked out our tree. After finding an awesome tree we went in and had homemade ice cream while they wrapped our tree up and tied it to our car. How awesome is that. Brett also picked out some Apple Butter. So we got home and put up the Tree and decorated it. kaiya loves to smack the branches and I just love the smell. Now the house truely is looking a lot like Christmas. I have homemade Bread in the oven to go with the apple butter. I love this time of the year!!

SOOO THANKFUL

I am soo thankful for so many things. I am thankful for Brett and the hard work he does for our family. Not only is he working full time but he is also in school full time right now pulling straight A's. If that wasn't enough he still makes time to help me out with Kaiya and play with us. He is truely an amazing man. I am also very thankful for Kaiya is always has us laughing. I will post a video of a good example of that. I can't mention the video with out being thankful for such an awesome dog that puts up with all of us, especially Kaiya. I am thank ful for my family and my in-laws who are awesome!. I am thankful for a place to live and always finding a way to get by. I love my Heavenly Father and I am so grateful for all that he gave. I am thankful for Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. Brett's parents went to Hawaii, so we didn't get to see them. But we still went to their house and ment up with some of Brett's sisters to eat. Kaiya had fun with her cousins. I had fun baking/cooking for 3 days. All of the food tasted soo good. Life is GOOD!!

Happy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! It was so cute to see Kaiya catch on to trick or treating. First we went to the church for trunk or treat. After a few cars she caught on quickly and would run up and look for the basket of candy. Then after we came back to our street and trick or treated with some friends. Kaiya would run up to the doors and work her way to the bowl. She would take FOREVER to figure out what she wanted. It's funny whenever there were smarties she would always end up with those. Afterwards we came back to our house where we had a bunch of friends over to play games and just hang out. My friend brought over a fog bubble machine and the kids had hours of fun with it. Especially Kaiya. It was such a fun night.

Sewing Maniac

So I have been a sewing maniac lately. I LOVE IT!! I have made kaiya tons of new cute clothes. But I decided I am going to try and make me an apron. But here are somethings I have made for Kaiya. I also fixed Brett's blanket that he has been asking me to fix FOREVER. But I didn't take a picture of that haha.

Scentsy Kick Off

So I had my scentsy Kick off party to start out my new business. We had lots of yummy food (HOMEMADE: raspberry cheesecake, german chocolate cake, banana bread,fruit skewers, sasage balls, apples and carmal sauce, salsa and salmon dip). I had lots of things to smell, but best of all us girls got to hang out and just be girls. For those of you who don't know what scentsy is check it out. www.scentsy.com/emilyshurtleff.

Sewing

So I decided the other day I need a new hobby. So I got a sewing machine..YAY I got a pattern for some pj's and decided just to see if I could make something. Well I think they turned out pretty good. I did mess up a few things and my lines aren't the straightest but oh well. Guess I will just keep trying :)



These other two pictures I just thought were cute so I figured I would put them on here.

Happy kaiya Hour

Loving the Beach!!


Family FUn!









We took Kaiya to the beach. She went running straight for the water. I hurried and took her clothes off. We didn't plan on getting wet so we didn't come prepared with swimsuits. Lucky for us Grandma had a towel in her car. Kaiya would go running for the waves. Thank goodness it's the Atlantic ocean and the water is warmer. I forgot my Camera so the pictures are from my phone.

Kaiya hanging out with Simon...Who by the way isn't suppose to be on the couch...bad dog.



Kaiya's new Chair from Grandma Shurtleff. She LOVES it!!!




We have been going through a lot of teeting lately. But we still manage to have a happy girl.....well most of the time.

Love my little Family
