New Boots!

New Boots for me! Love it. I was surprised that they are fitting comfortable. I wanted a black color dress boots. I have a pair of brown heel boots. This is for Christmas present for me. I opened it to be sure they are right kind of my order and right size of my feet. Perfect! Derek got a new pair of shoes himself. It is white sport shoes. His shoes are stink, dirty, and worn out. Ehh. I still have my shoes since I was in junior high school. I still have Doc Martin shoes. My shoes are pretty not worn out easy. My husband always worn out his shoes in about 6 months. In my youth time, I had a huge pile of shoes in my closet. Sorry dad and mom, :-D. Derek keep me in mange to buy more shoes. I always asked him for his permission so I can buy shoes. Because I want to stay in control for shoes. He did pretty well. Wyatt wants to put my brown boots on him. They are too tall for him and big too. But cute. My kids love to go in my closet and play with my shoes. I am hoping that they don't be like me in their young time. :-/. Just wait and see. *closed my eyes with my hands on*

Birthday Party

When I saw them on the couch with a blanket cover them, they are melting my heart! Yep, I made a Christmas blanket for my couch.
My Aunt ML made this quilt for Wyatt. Love it. It is a wintery blanket. There are snow, snowman, and hats. It is perfect for him because he is Christmas and winter birthday boy. I never wanted for him to be born in DECEMBER! Birthday + Christmas presents= $$$$$$.
Uh-Oh! Sugar is my enemy. My mom bought this cake from Costco that which I absolutely HATE! I prefer Dick's Market cake. This cake has a mousse inside. I like plain chocolate cake. Too much frost, my stomach is groaning. Hee hee.
Hi Emma: Peek-a-Boo! Wyatt got Ice Age Christmas DVD and a moo book from his Aunt Nicole.
Emma got a tiny baby doll from her Grandma Thorup. So she doesn't feel left out alone with no presents for her. Aww, what a lucky Grandma you have, Emma! Ah, yes she is still has her pacifier on. I tried to take it away, she demand to have it. *sighs* Here I go in the future to deal with her to quits her pacifier. Yay me..... no?
She was excited when she was opening a present. She was quickly opening from the wrapper. Whoa, slow down Emma. :)
*Gasps* Wow Wyatt!! You got a fire engine truck! What a huge truck is! Behind him is his cousin Kiera and Kiera's mother Rachel.
Ohhh! What a pretty quilt you have! His Great Aunt ML from Arizona made it for him.
Ohh, He loves the auto motors toys. This one is Dodge Ram truck with a trailer of 4x4 wheeler. Cool, huh? From his Aunt Rachel.
Emma loves to play with a wrapper red sting.

Aw, cutie girl. You can see Wyatt's feet, hi feet. :)

My parents and Derek's parents were here. Shawn & Rachel and their children also were here too. Nicole was here for just a short minutes. The kids had fun time to played together.

My parents had a crazy mother nature in Bountiful. I am lucky that I live away from Bountiful. There was a FREAK strongest wind everywhere. Their roof was in damaged. A tree, not that big tree, was fell down on my brother's girlfriend, Amanda's car. Ohh poor thing for her. Also my parents' house was also out of power for 48 hours. Ohh poor them. No heating on, TV, phones, and etc. They went to bed early than usually. Lucky that they had fireplaces. In bountiful, there were pretty bad damaged in the city. A lot of the pine trees fell down. Some fences blew off and the roofs of any buildings. My dad had to helped the neighbors. What a crazy mother nature? The wind came from the canyon on east side. It's scary. Yesterday (Friday) all of the schools in Davis County were closed. Lucky for the kids. The wind was so cute (small wind) here in Logan.

PS: I forgot to mentioned that we got a new couch for our family room for our early Christmas present. The kids love it. Bye-bye blue couch from my Grandma Evans. Dear Couch, you served us very well! Sincerely, the Godfrey. Wyatt threw up on the couch. The kids peed on it, and the fabric was torn up. I bought a "new" old couch from KSL Classified. It was so nice couch. It is almost the same in our living room couch. :)

Kids' Glow Wands

I love my kids. So I decided to bought the wands for the kids. Wyatt has a green glow frog. Emma has a pink glow star. Is that cool to see in the dark?? I bought them from Michael's. They are a buck dollar.

My Homemade "Dress Form"

Well, this is me. I wanted to made a homemade dress form with my real shape body. My own body. Sorry about my post-pregnancies fat. I lost 15lbs since summer. I am taking a medicine from my doctor that helps me to lose my weight. Help my stomach shrink to small size, and help me to get full quickly when I am eating. I am 15lbs light now. *sighs* Felt good about it. I have been exercise in Logan River Trail. Now it is snow here, so I have been exercise my chores in the house. It's helping. I sweat like freak. My house has the stairs. I have a treadmill. I ate a lot of fruits and vegetables. Yummy. I drank pretty A LOT of water daily.

Anyway, my friend, Lisa, had been helped me with duct tapes around on me. I used my husband's old T-shirt from his New York Mission. It is too small for him now. Yes, he gained pretty much since he got home from his mission in 2002. :)

I just relaxed my body so it can get a good shape for my body. It took us about 2 hours to get this done. We had fun time together. We chatted. I like the pink with black strip tape. Cool tape than bored silver tape. I need to get this form to get done. I need to tape my back that was cut to get off from me. I need to stuff in it then find a pole to stand a form and glue everything to stay hold together. I ordered a dress form from Jo-Ann for my Christmas present. So I have two dress forms. I am knitter/crocheter so I want a dress form for my projects.

I have seen a lot of the knitter/crocheter designers have their own dress form. I want one. :-D

Yes, I cut my hair into pixie hairstyle from medium long hair. More easy for me than one hour to fix my hair. My husband hates wait for me to get my dress up done. I always get hot during dryer and hot ironing. I love this hair. I want it for a long time. People said that I look better short hair than long hair. I have thin and fine hair.

Happy 4th Birthday, Wyatt!

He wants a present. So he got it. :) It is a movie "Cars" soap. Fun, huh? He had a great time all day today. He is good boy all day, normally he just annoying, grumpy, and meltdown. But he is good and great today. I am glad. We went to Chuck-a-Rama for his birthday restaurant. He was surprised when the employers came and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He was shy and smile. He got a chocolate ice cream. Emma was just in confused. Poor her but she is funny. I can't believe that he is FOUR years old! I still remember gave birth to him. He was born at 8:00AM. I miss when he was newborn baby. We had a lot fun family time together today. Daddy and Mommy love you, Wyatt. So do Emma. Also your grandparents too.

Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving! I can't believe that day came and gone again. We were at our friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was great day. We ate tradition same kind of dinner. Yummy. Wyatt is still scared of the dogs. Emma was just doing fine. I was just helping and cooking. The kids are watching a movie "Cars 2". I want to watch it. Derek was watching football game. We all were chatting, playing, and helping. It was a long day but fun. I am happy that I am not cooking Thanksgiving dinner everyday. A lot of work and money. Image that in the past in about 1800's, they had to cook dinner in the morning. I will be exhausted if I was in 1800's. I am so thankful for Thanksgiving dinner. I love Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I learned about how to cook turkey from Lisa. She showed me everything. I thought it was tough. Black Friday: What a night!!!! So many of crowd people. We got the most of the stuffs, BIG RELIEF! I am glad that there are no problems in the store. We went to Walmart. Me and my friend, Lisa. Derek and Lisa's husband were watching their kids and sleeping. I ordered some of the list online: Shopko, Target, Shoes Carnival, and Jo-Ann. We are satisfied now. We already did set up our Christmas tree in our living room. I love this tree! It is 6.5 ft. Also it is skinny tree. It is in corner between of the couches. I had a short hours of sleep. Now I am so exhausted! We went to Golden Corral for breakfast with Derek's family. His family went to Kohl's for Black Friday shopping. This morning at 4am, my friend couldn't come so I decided to ordered online instead go out and fight with a big rush people. I couldn't go back sleep after I ordered, because I was so EXCITED that I bought a dress form from Jo-Ann that was cost $90 from $229.00. Black Friday is good deal of all sales to buy. I started to go out for Black Friday last 2006. I think that I want to keep going out because of excellent good prices. I am so thankful that we were safe shopping today with crazy people.

Homemade and A Star Blanket

This blanket is finally finished! I hate to sew. Whip stitches around the blanket. I asked my friend to sew it for me. She did it. She got it finished in about 2 days. How nice of her for me. This is for our cousin, Jamie for Christmas present. I am done, ALL DONE, with Christmas presents for a big families. Now we are doing little Christmas shopping for our little sweet family. I am ready for Black Friday. My friend and I will go together to Sam's Club, and Shopko. It is so MUCH easier without the kids. Plus too cold for them and they will whine about wait and rush hour in the morning. I don't want to ruin their surprise for presents. :)
Ohh soldier, how cute you are! This came from Relief Society Super Saturday. I didn't make it. I was too dead sick with sore throat and colds flu. It is not fun to being a sick. I have been sick for a week. Today, I am A LOT better. Finally! I cleaned my whole house to get rid of the virus. Derek, Emma, and me are only who were sick. Wyatt is not sick, how strange! Some of the sisters made it for me. I finished it myself with a hot glue.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! They are so exciting to go out for their Trick or Treat. Wyatt is car. Emma is fairy. I have no money to buy a costume for Wyatt. I got fairy wing last Christmas 2010 for Emma present. Wyatt just excited to have his own car. Emma probably will be fairy again next year for Halloween. We need to figure out for Wyatt for next year. Wyatt got A LOT of candy. Oh boy, here I go. I had to hid the pumpkin basket in my closet so Wyatt won't find it because I don't want him to eat them all night. Both of them are wearing pumpkin clothes. I am witch. Derek was suppose to be Wonka Willy but his project wasn't even started that I was planning to crochet it for him. We went to their Grandma Godfrey's work for Halloween lunch together. We went to the hospital to visited Aunt LeNaite and got the candy. MORE CANDY, ohh no here I go again. We had fun time together.
