found these at Porters for 25 cents each and thought I would paint them for T1 & T2. I havent painted in awhile so it doesn't look that great but they are cute. And I love those boys. These can hold there coats this winter... maybe. If Angela likes them.
Then I spent the rest of the day making this. Its a family tree and each branch is the parents of the person under them, leading to the trunk. The trunk is Chris and I and our kids are under us. I have to replace 3 leaves because when I tried to hang it I pressed in the glass hard and cracked them. Luckly I made extra. The Yellow are girls and the red are boys. The Yellow name plate says Arnett and the Red one says Kunz. I wanted to make this Chris' birthday present but didn't get it done on time. I finished it today while he was at work and I hope he will be surprised.Chris' cousins Josh and Jordon made this bet of who could save the most money and yesterday was the last day. And Josh won by $7,000! I never thought either of them could save a dime because the blow there money on useless junk. Josh works on the Oil riggs and Jordon was selling security systems for the second summer. Chris said they were trying to make him feel bad like he didn't make enough money and it made me so mad. Since we bought our tv Josh has been looking for one. I've never seen a family get so jeleous of each other and its driving me crazy. But I came to the conclusion that we are better off because we don't show our stuff off to other people and I don't have to have a HUGE diamond ring (I'll get that later for sure though). I just feel comfortable knowing that Chris and I are the only ones in his family (period) that have any college done. They will probably make more than us for awhile, since Josh is staying on the oil riggs and never going to school. But someday I just want to be comfortable raising our family and concentrating on church callings. (none of them go to church or stay at church for more than an hour). I'm not trying to say that we are better than them, just that it is important to go and stay the whole time.
Agh! and Kim and Josh came in our apartment when we weren't home! That drives me insaine. I know they can just walk in at my in-laws but this is MY HOUSE---STAY OUT UNLESS YOU ARE INVITED!!!!!

Wow feeling a weebit frustrated or mad? You're not this bold usually. Anyway you are loved and I would get beyond mad if someone did that to us. Anyway the family tree is great and the hooks are sooooo cool. I'm excited for them and hope at least tyler will use them well. Love ya!
I really really like this blanket. It is a cool design, one its taken me a while to be able to handle because its not symetrical. But I'm really starting to like that. I love that quilt though.
I really like the orange binding too.
