Brian's new hobby

Brian has been wanting to get a greenhouse for sometime now. His wish came true this week. He was able to put it up on Saturday with Jaxon's help. There are a few more things he needs to do with it like a door, heater, fan, and much, much, more. We're pretty excited about it. Hopefully, we'll be able to grow some plants for next year.

Halloween

Jaxon had a hard time figuring out what he wanted to be this year for Halloween. First, he wanted to be an imperial guard (Star Wars). We couldn't find a costume for it. His second choice, Greedo, the green guy Han Solo talks to in the 4Th movie at the bar. Couldn't find a costume and didn't really want to make one. His third choice as you see is Indiana Jones. He was the best Indiana we saw. Phebe was easy this year, we decided to be Fancy Nancy (Fancy Nancy is a series of books). We had a good time trying to get Phebe fancy. She was just adorable. She was the only Fancy Nancy. We had a good Halloween and it was even better that Brian was home for a few days.

Getting Fancy

I just took this picture of Pheb's getting ready for the ward Halloween party tonight. Her costume is Fancy Nancy. Her hair needs to be fancy, so we attempt to do curlers again. She found my old pair of glasses. Doesn't she look like an old house Frau? Brian says she looks like a school teacher.

I got tagged

Last week, my friend Julie tagged me. So here are my answers. The tag was on 6 things that are quirky about me.
1. I critique Dairy Queens. I worked at 2 DQ's in high school and college. I have a high standard for them. I can't stand dirty tables or doors and the swirl not being right on the ice cream cone. My dad thinks I need to own one, so I can do it the right way which is my way of course.
2. I never forget. I am like my Grandma. It takes a lot to upset me. But when I do get upset, I never forget.
3. I have to have peanut butter on my pancakes and french toast. It is a must.
4. I can't stand it when Brian scrapes his fork when he eats. It's almost like the sounds from the dentist.
5. Brian and I are starting to finish each others sentences. I know this isn't really a quirk. I just thinks it's funny that we can do this. Next on the old married list is wearing matching shirts and jackets.
6. I have inherited one of me father's traits. An obsessive researcher. I will research something to death. Brian can't stand this. I get something in my head and I am checking everything I can before I get it.

I have a few more quirks but Jaxon didn't want me to tell anyone. I am suppose to have 6 other people be tagged but I don't know that many.

My new quilt

This is my quilt I just finished for the quilt shop I use to work for. It was suppose to be done a month ago. It took me longer then I expected. I really like it. It's going to be our winter quilt for our bed. Phebe took the picture for me. She did a good job.
