Me and My Crafty Self!

So, today was one of my favorite days of the year... that's right... SUPER SATURDAY! For those of you who are unaware, or sadly, don't DO a Super Saturday-- here's what you're missing....

A glorious day filled with different crafts, where people hand you all the materials and you just have to assemble it! I made some AWESOME stuff last year, and this year might have topped it! I was actually on the Super Saturday committee this year and was in charge of a project! It went really well, and it was a great day! This year I made a Note/To Do board (this was the project I came up with and did), a Temple Block, and a Growth Chart! Get ready to be dazzled:

So, here's the project I was in charge of. It's in a frame, and you write with the dry erase marker on the glass of the frame. Pretty fancy, eh?

My awesome Temple Block. I love doing anything where I get to showcase the Manti Temple! I had to tie the bow about 5 thousand different times... where is my mom when I need her???

Ok, the QUEEN of projects this year! How stinking cute is this?? We did all of the painting and everything... it took me all day, but I'm quite pleased with the result :) I almost don't want to mark heights on it... it's so pretty the way it is!

So, hooray for another successful Super Saturday... I hope my next ward is as awesome.

Hair Cuts, Canned Peaches, and Baby Monk...

Well, October has started with a bang! We LOVED Conference and the Bubs was really good so we both got to see/hear almost all of it! Don't worry, we were savoring every moment... we have a feeling that in April, we're not going to be so lucky!

Here are some happenings of the month:

*Brett finished his Derm. Surgery rotation. We're bummed that it's over. He had great hours, liked what he was doing, and wasn't very stressed. Next up is his Surgery rotation... YIKES! He's going to be in Ortho. and is excited to feel like an idiot everday :) The plus to this rotation is that he's going to be working at the two hospitals that are closest to our house. HOORAY! No more 45 minute commute!!

*We had a MASSIVE storm on Wednesday. Literally GOLF ball sized hail and all while Brett was driving home. Lovely, huh? Luckily, the only damage was to our cars. The Saturn has a little denting on the hood and the Mazda got it pretty bad on the roof. Oh well, not like the Mazda was much of a looker anyway :)

*I'm kicking it into high gear since we're down to only 2 months until the Tri. I went to a spin class that our fearless Tri leader held today and am POOPED. It's great to have people in the ward to train with and to keep me motivated!

*The Bubs has officially learned how to wave and it's STINKING cute. He just does an open palm and waves back and forth. We're constantly working on his ASL skills, and he definitely understands a few signs. Funny enough the signs he gets are: Milk, Eat, and Stop. Teehee... he continues to make me giggle everyday. I love this crazy kid! Now for some pictures!

His famous pucker face... he pulls this constantly!

Yep, we had to cut his hair for the 9th time! Luckily, this time he let me use the clippers... HOORAY! We thought this was hilarious, he looks like he has a sweater back :)

I canned 21 jars of peaches with my best bud, Sarah, and this is Bubsy taking his first taste of them. Um... what can I say? I think the peaches are divine, but obviously the Bubs has other opinions. He finally spit it out...

We tried one more time, only to get the same reaction... shoot!

We love the show, Monk. OCD detective with a crazy awesome gift (or curse... as the case may be) The onesy that Bubsy was wearing yesterday has really weird snaps. If you didn't do all the snaps up, he was totally showing off his chest, but if we did the snaps all the way up, he totally looks like Monk. So, we deemed him Baby Monk yesterday and took some sweet shots!

My little OCD Baby Monk

He also decided to pull out of all my pans and play with them while I was cooking dinner. Whatever keeps him happy, right?

Posing with the pans... I love his obsession with raising his arm.

A happy little Bubsy! (Do you see his top two teeth???)

Mid-applause.... for himself :)

Hope this month is going well for the rest of you. We're not sure what's going down for Halloween yet... but don't you worry, there will be many pictures to see!
