Jenna made the cutest turkey hat at preschool today and I just had to share! She drew a face on it and legs. The other turkey project she made last week at school. The feathers are imprints of her fingers in paint and the body is her palm and thumb traced! She can't wait to wear her hat at Grandma and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving!

Before attending the midnight showing of Twilight, a group of us "twilighters" got together for a pre-show party. It entailed a twilight trivia game, ravioli, the best ever pretzels, and of course T-shirt decorating! Everyone was "Team Edward" except for Shelbi, who was "Team Jacob". However, by the middle of the movie she had turned to our side :) The movie was...very entertaining. Obviously not as good as the book, but I didn't think it would be. We were laughing a lot through the movie, partly due to giddiness/excitement and then the "What was that??" moments. I won't get into all of my thoughts, for the sake of time! But here are a few, I thought Robert Pattinson played Edward very well. I actually like all of the actors, it was the writing that could have been better for me. I wish the movie flowed better. However, I will most likely see it again in the theater because I have heard it is better the second time. I am hopeful!
On the other hand, I had a blast hanging out with everyone 'til the wee hours of the morning. Not pictured, but present at the festivities was Shelbi's husband Bryant. I didn't want to leave him out, he made the yummy pretzels!! Thanks for putting up with us crazy girls.
For those of you that saw the movie, I would love to hear what you thought?
Here is our latest DIY project. We found this cabinet in the clearance section at Home Depot, added the trim and feet, and the granite top. It was Chad's idea to put a granite top on it. Being inspired by many HGTV shows, he called around looking for scraps of granite. We ended up getting a great deal! The cabinet now holds our china that was passed down from my mother in law. I believe she gave it to us when we lived in Logan, so somewhere around 5 yrs. ago?!! And this is the first time we have had a place for it! Now I just need to find a decoration to set on top of it :)

Bathroom before
This was one of the first projects we did on the house. When Jenna gets older we will add a counter but for now it works great. I am quite proud of my animal silhouettes (inspired by pottery barn). Above the toilet we have added a close up pic of Jenna's face tinted in sepia. She has her Monkey hooded towel on in the pic., very cute.
Ok, so I am making up for lost time and starting back in Sept. :)
Jenna started preschool this year. She goes 2 times a week and loves it. A lady in my ward teaches it out of her home. She has a room all set up as a classroom.
Jenna loves her princess backpack! It was hard to find a small one, it is almost as big as she is!
This is the first day we had the fish. Jenna is very cute with them, she always tells them "good morning fishies"! And is very helpful in asking "are they hungry?" when they all bunch up against the side of the tank :)
We recently came across "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert at our local library. It is a very fun, creative book. Jenna is obsessed with it. So, yesterday we went out collecting leaves and made our own "Leaf Men" for FHE. You can see the results in the slide show below. But, don't take our word for it!
Side note: My wonderful husband worked on the computer forever last night and solved our uploading problem. So, there will be lots of pics to come :)
