Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Sneak Peek

I spent a good part of last Sat. putting the finishing touches on our Halloween costumes.

Here is a little sneak peek-

Even Chad has been a good sport the last few years. His shirt was inspired by a pumpkin he carved, during our early years of marriage.

On her third year of being a Disney princess (1. Belle 2. Snow White)

I wonder what she'll be next year :)

And last but not least, our little witch in training

Thanks to our good friends for throwing an awesome pre Halloween party. Giving us more wear of our costumes. Especially with Halloween being on a Sunday this year!

Pumpkin Patch

According to the weather forecast, our sunny days will soon be replaced with rainy ones. So we decided to head on over to a nearby pumpkin patch while the ground was still dry.

Here's our little pumpkins

The girls

Daddy with his girls and their pumpkins

Jenna helped pick out Leah's for her.

Next adventure, pumpkin carving! That won't be until next week though. We're trying to have the pumpkins last until Halloween :) Hopefully Jenna can make it until then. She's a little excited to create her Jack O Lantern.

At it again!

More food and craft fun at the Jergensen household.

Here is our take on Monsters Jaws (www.ourbestbites.com)

Jenna can't get enough of these, the mini marshmallows play a big part in that :)

I got this idea from a Pottery Barn magazine last spring. Then helped a friend make some for her daughter and knew I had to have them in Leah's nursery. Now I'm in search for the perfect shelf to display them on.

And lastly, for the time being, I learned a new technique for making flowers (tutorial can also be found at www.makeit-loveit.com).

My obsession for making hair accessories has returned after a long hiatus. And this time around I get to make 2 of everything so the girls can match. Maybe I should make 3 so I can join in on the fun as well? :)

And the fun doesn't stop here. I've still got lots of projects on my list.

Stay tuned!

It's that time of year again

What is it about Fall that makes me want to be crafty?

I have not completed this many projects in one weekend in a long time. Well, it was an extended weekend with Chad gone for a section diving (you can view his latest dive video in the prior post).

Project #1 --was a family effort. Jenna, with a little help from her dad, covered most of these adorable jars. I bought the little battery powered tea lights to put inside the jars, super cute!

Can you tell Jenna's special image request?

Want to make your own, visit www.ourbestbites.com

I'm assuming you all guessed right! :) She has asked if this could be here night light!

Project #2 - A tutu for Leah's witch costume

Project #3 - Autumn leaf table runner. Idea found at www.makeit-loveit.com My plan is to make 3 total. I've only made one thus far.

The vinyl was on clearance at JoAnn's and the leaves I found at the dollar store. Very cute and inexpensive decoration. I just need to get some mini pumpkins now to fill the center

Wishing everyone a Happy Fall Ya'll :)

Hoodsport, WA

Here is one of two videos from a recent dive of Chad's. He went out to Hoodsport, WA with a couple of friends. Click the dive flag to view the other videos. Enjoy!

2 months old

2 months old and I finally caught that precious smile!

Here are Leah's stats:

Height-24 in. (off the charts!!)

Weight- 12 lbs 8.5 oz (95%)

And it all equals to one happy little girl!

Leah is starting to coo and make other little noises. I especially love it when she smiles for Jenna. She loves to just watch her big sister. Jenna is just itching to teach Leah things, dancing of course being high on the list.

We sure are having fun with our big little girl :)

Something to smile about

Jenna continues to be a wonderful big sister. She is always looking for ways to help/entertain her baby sister. Here she is carrying Leah to her room for bedtime stories. Pretty darn cute if you ask me :)

Leah (and I) are loving the quilt Gma Lonna made for her. It's exactly what I was wanting. If you look close you can see Leah's dimple!

Just like when Jenna was a baby, Leah can be a tough nut to crack. Everyday she is smiling more though and it just melts my heart. Leah has two big dimples one on each side! But of course I haven't been able to capture the full smile yet on camera.

But we are close...

One sided smile, almost there :)

On another note, Leah's room is finally coming together.

Chad and Jenna painted Leah's room today.

Jenna was so excited that she got to help.

Here she is writing her name!

It'll take some time but hopefully I'll have finished nursery picks to share soon.
