My Birthday

We had cupcakes from Temptation Cupcake. We went out eat at Kabuki Japanese restaurant.  

Derek got me this for my birthday present. I want to make this. This hat don't sell in the stores. It'll be purple, yellows, and black colors. This is a pack of a pattern and 9 yarn balls. That's nice about it, because I don't have to decide which colors I should buy. It's hard. The yarn I want that as I expected. 100% pure Shetland wool. It's not soft yarn. It's pretty rough wool. This is exactly I want for a hat. I'm exciting about it. I got 15% discount for my birthday discount that the Knit Unique provided. I love about it. I love my Local Yarn Store.

 

We finally ordered the glasses for me and Derek. This is new glasses for me. I want red frame. Derek will have black half rim glasses. I'm thankful for zenni.com. We can't afford for our office, their glasses. They will show up in our mailbox in next week. We can't wait.   

That's my birthday day today. 

Psst, I'm going to Saint George this weekend, yay! Time-out from the kids. I'll be knitting even more than normal. 

Black & Peanut

Aw. I love to cuddle with her. She sat down and relaxed. I love this moment. She was calmed. Of course, she's happy being back to her home in cage and peed. Ha ha. She's good piggy. Sometimes she bites. Sometimes she's grumpy. She's like a human woman with PMS. 

My Weekend

Last weekend, I was knitting all day on weekend. You can see the red line on heart part that where I started to flower part, that's how much I have been knitting.There are so many stitches and colors exchanging. I am trying to get this finish before the cooler temperature hits here. I bought the clear pink buttons. I wanted clear color shades like clear green, clear yellow, clear purple, and clear pink. I only see clear green, clear yellow, and clear pink. Emma was with me, so I showed her which color she wants for her buttons on cardigan. She chose clear pink, of course.

Not only knitting all day on weekend, I chased the kids too. I cleaned my house for little some time. Derek was working all weekend. I was stuck with the kids at home when Derek was working on Sunday, so we missed our church.

Psst, we are taking our van to shop for a repair on Wednesday. We will be renting a car for a few days. I am kicking Derek's big butt! We are having our eyes exams tomorrow morning.

Pssst, We walked to school to picked Wyatt up. It was nice weather outside. It was only about 76 degree. I am looking forward for 60 and less degree. I love the feeling of cold.

How was your weekend?  

This Moment

Derek thinks that they are funny. They are having a pizza for dinner. I don't feel well after I took a nap. I love to see their faces. So cute and funny. They are crazy annoying to me, especially when I don't feel well.







*Sighs*, ok here is a BAD news. Derek accident hit on a tire from a big black SUV at his work. A black SUV's tire was in the wrong place. Derek can't see it. We will get this fix ASAP. I was totally pissed off. I discovered about this, this morning after I had a great cold shower. I hate to have that happened when I just got a new minivan. My mom told me that she has a back dent on her SUV that was dad's fault when she just bought her SUV at least a week. She quote to me "welcome and join a club". It's helped me a little. We went to Derek's work to talked with his dad, Kahlil. He thinks that this can be fixable. It's plastic, not a metal. So Derek's brother, Graden can try to push back. I am hoping so. Our van is still driving total fine. None bend to our front driver's tire. Mind of your business, I had a beer.

That's my day today. I need to be a mermaid and dive into a beach and swimming a thousand miles of freedom and no more worrying.

Psst, I knitting more than 10 rounds on fair isle jacket recently. It's slowing progress but I am still working on it.

Our Family Moment

The kids were playing around, lucky in time I caught them and took the pictures of them. Good moment to remember.

I discovered them slept together in Emma's bedroom floor. They don't want to be alone. Funny and cute.

 Reeses' birthday is in September, honestly I don't know when is her date of birth. So we celebrated her birthday on September 1st. She is one now. Happy birthday, Reeses. We love her even she bites us. Ha ha.

It's September, that means it's fall month. I am so LOOKING FORWARD for Autumn to come now! I want crisp smell, cooler air, autumn colors, and pumpkins spices. We will be going to the Logan Trail to see all of the autumn leaves. I love fall colors. I am so happy that summer is this very CLOSER over!!!!! Gosh, I hate summer so much. I love fall/winter seasons. I hate spring/summer seasons. I am going to enjoy every moment in fall season. I am too exciting to go to the pumpkin walk, corn maze, American West park, trail, and walk in the leaves.

Psst, I am almost done with Christmas shopping. Yay!

Pain, Blue, and Weave In Ends

Hi, I have been busy. I went to the dentist last Tuesday for getting a new implant tooth. Ouch! it's so so painfully hurt on my jaw, bone, and gum. I will get a crown in January, because my bone need to be healed first. My upper tooth is coming down, there was no bottom tooth to support the upper tooth. My dentist said that I need to get an implant now. My bottom tooth was infected so I had to take it out before worse. I am still complaining about the pain. I did taking an ibuprofen medicine. But it still pain in there. I don't sleep very well. I have been sleeping on a couch in a living room. I didn't want to bother Derek. I couldn't yell out loud, it hurts. Derek yelled out loud for me to the kids. Ha ha. I have two stitches to close the gum part. Ow, ow. My body is tired from pain. I couldn't eat on my left side. Soup has been so helpful. I chose this a permanent implant than bridge tooth because it's lifetime tooth, worth and save my money. Yes, it's so expensive tooth bill. Oh my. At least, I did finally paid off my credit card yesterday. Yay.

I wanted to eat something from Pinterest. Cupcake puppy chow snacks. I used blue Wilton candy melts instead a white chocolate. They are delicious. Wyatt loves it so much. Emma was not really interesting these, so do Derek. Yummy.

I woven in the ends, and it's still remaining to weave in the ends too. It's the best result to weave in the ends. I am still slowing working in process of fair isle jacket. I just can't knit while I still has a pain from an implant. See, I am still complaining about it. All I can do is sitting on my pink recliner all day and trying to calm down my pain.

Hope you have a good Labor Day weekend. Me too, I am hoping that my pain go away really sooner.

Kindergarten!

 He was so excited to go school. About time! Less bother for his mommy for activity.

Welcome to Woodruff Elementary school!

His teacher named Mrs. Moore and hey there's me. Derek was taking the pictures. Hi mom in the very back by the door. My mom came yesterday. She wanted to see Wyatt and his school. She also wanted to met Wyatt's teacher.

Bye-Bye! We were leaving. We went to out for lunch without Wyatt. It's was so quiet without him. Ahh, nice.

We are walking to/from school everyday. I want to save my gas. We only have one van. Gas goes out very quickly. It's good exercise for me. I need to lose some weight. It's only 0.8 mile from my house to school. I will be walking for about 3 miles everyday for drop him off and pick him up. Also it was pretty traffic at school area for drop off/pick up. Walk is better.

My Self Work

I just wanted to show you my work. I know that I don't get paid. I am home maker. I love every moment of it. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, Amanda Soule, and Glenna C; they are my favorite knitters/bloggers. If you like to see their blogs: Yarnharlot.ca, soulemama.com, and crazyknittinglady.wordpress.com/. I like to be involved with knitters in the world. Ravelry.com is one of them. Interweave Knits magazine is too. I love knitting. 

There will be Squam camp for knitter in NH in September. I wanted to go but money is sucks. I told Derek that I want to go to upstate Rhinebeck, New York for Rhinebeck fair- all, ALL, about yarns, knitters, knitting, sheep, spinning, spinner, woven, crocheters, crochet, teaching classes, and have fun. Rhinebeck fair is always in October every year. I want just me and my husband to go and visit there for weekend. Rhinebeck fair is only on Saturday and Sunday. That's my goal for vacation. I also need to save a lot of money for shopping in Rhinebeck, oh also an empty luggage. 

Ok, here about my work for Emma's fair isle jacket. I am working on second repeats of heart and flower. There will be three repeats then I will knitting the sleeves. I will woven in the ends after this is finish because there are so many of the ends stings. Then after that, ekk, steek time, yes steek=cut open the fabric. 

We just went to the fairground recently, I was so excited to see the sheep and lamb. I told them, the sheep, you are my favorite wool. One of them looked up at me and puzzled. So cute. I wish I could hear them "baa". I always thankful our God for the sheep on the earth for us to knitting their wool hair. Guess that a sheep is my favorite animal. I know that I am not only one, the other knitters also love sheep. Some of them own a farm for sheep.

Psst, I feel a lot better from my colds today. Emma is still not yet hit sick. But she still has a running nose. 

PPS, Derek worked double shift today and will work double shift until Monday. That's so surprised for us. He hasn't been work double shift for over 7 months.

Oh My!

This is where I used to swam in. This is where I learned how to swimming lesson. I loved to jump on high jumping. My friends and I used to went there for fun in the summer. My parents' ward from their church used (and still are) to have a ward party dinner then swimming. I had a wonderful memory of this.

This is 'bubble' cover for swimming pool in the winter season. The inside of the pool was surprisingly warm. I miss those pool.

 Now this is new swimming pool. The old pool I had been there was gone. We went there a few times when we visited in Bountiful. It was fun.

I just was in shocked how much that Bountiful had changed since I left. I told Derek that I wish that this happened before I left Bountiful for Logan.

I love Logan so MUCH! I am so glad that I don't live in Bountiful anymore.

 This is where the Chervon gas station is currently. This was before Chervon born. I was shocked to see how much the land was landing before the houses and business were born.

 My parents, Uncles and Aunts, and a member of our families went to Bountiful High school. This was old front accessed. My BHS was so different than this. So obviously that BHS did aged and changed since it built.

Sometimes I hate to see things change.

This was my elementary school. The Bobby Bobcat is same since I was there. But the sign standing is new after I left this school for Mueller Park Junior High school.

Wyatt's school is Woodruff elementary is also almost the same Bobcat as a mine was.

I can't believe this Wyatt will be in school in a few days. I missed when he was just a newborn baby.

This is our wedding reception in Bountiful. It was on top of this building. Jake, my youngest brother, crashed our wedding cake inside, YES INSIDE, my beetle vw car.

Wow, everything has been changing since I left. Everything are aging. Sometimes I hate to see that but that's life of living in the earth.

Psst, I am still working on Emma's fair isle cardigan. I have been watching TV show Roswell and my colds flu stopping me from knitting for about a week.So I finally go back and knitting since yesterday.

Brown Thing

My mom gave me the zucchinis. They had been sitting in my refrigerate. I want to use them up. I don't want the zucchinis to turn into rot. My mom is growing the garden. Zucchini is one of them. It's free. We love zucchinis. They are bigger than in a store bought.

So I looked up at Pinterest on my iPad. I saw this recipe. It's zucchini brownies cake. I don't want to make another bread. I want something different to eat them. They are one way to eating the cake that the kids didn't know about the veggies are in the cake. It's delicious. We need the vegetables. It's crisp/moist cake. No milk, eggs, and water in it.

There are a million of the recipes of zucchini. So I want something sweet to eat.

Psst, I am sick with colds flu since Saturday, unfortunately. I can't breathe. I feel like I had been smoked for years and turned my lungs into bad. I hate to open my mouth for air. I even can't smell and taste. At least, the air is more important than want to smell and taste. I asked myself that 'where did I got the flu?" I don't know. Derek don't know too. I prefer to have a flu in the summer because it's warm air than in the winter with the cold air.
