Our Snowman

Sadie and I went outside to shovel the sidewalk and we decided to build a snowman.  This was my first attempt at a snowman.  We don't have very much snow, but we did the best we could.

Reunited at Last

We received "bunny" in the mail.  The Ebay lady even gift wrapped it for us.  

Accomplishment

On my list of things to do before I die was to piece together a quilt the good old fashioned way.  I also wanted to do it all by myself.  So I decided that with Sadie's new bed she should have a new quilt.  She would have chosen Cinderella, but I couldn't find any cotton Cinderella print.  So this matches her room and I will post complete pictures of the room later.

MISSING

Have You Seen Me??

Date Missing: 12/3/07
Owner: Allie
Description: Pink Bear Satin lovey
Name: Responds to the name "Bunny"
Last Seen: As mommy was walking out to the car
REWARD: $1,000,000,000





We thought we had brought bunny with us in the car, but when we got out, she was nowhere to be found. I must have dropped her on our way out of the house. I have been searching ebay all night and found 1 bunny. Replacement cost: $35! During my search I also found a replacement of Sadie's bunny but they were charging $50 (not including shipping) so we decided we could live without it. We just have our fingers crossed the Allies bunny get here ASAP before we leave for our flight. Otherwise that will be one REALLY long plane trip. Those people on ebay really know how to take advantage of desperate parents!

Thanksgiving Pictures

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving at the Roundy's house.

My little Gymnasts

Friday night Sadie was showing us how good she does somersaults and Allie decided she wanted to join in. Here is her version of a somersault....

Tagged

Okay, Christine tagged a couple weeks ago, but I didn't think I had any facts the everybody didn't already know. But here goes:

1. I am one test away from my Real Estate License. I was hired by Coldwell Banker Preferred. Many of you know how much Todd and I enjoy Real Estate so we decided that I should get my license as a way to continue to invest in real estate and to put Todd through dental school. I think he secretly wanted me to become his sugar momma and this was the best solution we could come up with. So I have to take the state tests around December 1st.

2. Although I am a communication degree I am absolutely deathly afraid of public speaking. I even took that class twice in college and it didn't help. My biggest fear is having to speak in Sacrament meeting. Luckily they asked me to speak the week I would be taking my test so I said I would be too busy. So they asked Todd to speak this Sunday instead.

3. I hate swimming in open water of any kind: rivers, lakes, & oceans. I prefer to be able to see what I am stepping on. Maybe I saw jaws too many times! So every time we have gone to the ocean Todd normally has to drag me out into the water. While this Raleigh I learned how much fun a boogie board (is that what it is?) can be. However I still stay as close to the beach as possible.

4. I make my own jewelry. I really love it. And I would like to think that I am good at it. This summer we also tried to sell some of it at a local farmers market. I ended up making $25 profit after spending 8 hours in the scourching sun. I decided it wasn't worth it and will just be my hobby.

5. I am a master baker of apple pie with a crumble top. My mother-in-law taught me how to make pie crust and ever since I have been perfecting the art. I know have to branch out into pumpkin and other types for the upcoming holidays. Maybe this year I will remember to put the egg in the pumpkin pie. Last years was a disaster!
