Making Christmas Tree Spider's

This year I decided to make some Christmas Tree Spider's. I ended up

with 26. On Christmas Eve we all get together at my house for a

tradition of a bowl of chili or chicken noodle soup with all the fixings

of rolls, cheese, cheeseballs, and of course home made candy.

After we eat we all go to the cemetary and spend time lighting candles

for our loved ones, singing songs, and showing our love for those that

can't be with us during the Holidays.

I have made these spiders to give to my family that night. I will read

the story of the Christmas Spider to the Grandkids.

For those of you who haven't heard of the christmas spider you

will have to check it out on the net.

I will give you an update on how the holidays turn out.

To all of you wishing you a safe and Happy Holiday.!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYSON " 2 YEARS OLD"

Boys are made of chuckles and grins,

Tassled hair and banged up shins,

Things with wheels and frogs in pockets,

Questions, baseball caps and rockets.

They're joy and mischief, fun and noise,

That's how it is Boy's will be Boy's.

A Two-year-old child is so many things --

A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings,

A hugger of Teddies,

A sweet sleepyhead,

And someone to dream for in bright years ahead...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYSON

WE LOVE YOU

Kyson is going to celebrate his birthday again

on the 11th. So stay tuned. I am sure there

will be alot of more fun!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM (21). Just want you to know that you are so thoughtful, kind, loving, caring son and a incredible dad to Kyson. It doesn't seem possible that 21 years ago I was changing your diaper and looking into your eyes wondering what you will become when you grew older. Only weighing 4lbs. 8 oz. you have come along way. Kyson is now looking up into your eyes and thinking I want to be just like my dad. I am proud to know you are my son. Happy 21st. Love You To The Moon And Back!! Hugs:) Mom

SShhhhhh Christmas Secrets

I had been wondering what to get my grandkids for christmas. After looking around in my art room I came across some plastic pellets that I had bought a long time ago to use as stuffing for my porcelain dolls that I use to make. A thought went through my mind "OH YES"

I could put those pellets in good use. I had seen these I SPY BAGS on the internet and thought

that these would be perfect. They are made out of fleece material and measure appromixately 8x10. They are filled with pellets and 42 secret surprizes that you need to find. The window is a piece of vinyl cut out and sewn to the material. I have sewn a ribbon and attached it to the bags with a key chain hook which is clipped to the laminated card that has all the toys labeled on it. The boy's are sporty material and the girlies are the hearts. I made 9 of these and must say that I had a BLAST at doing this and the outcome was awesome. They are for all ages and I am sure my older grandkids will love them to!!! You can take them with you on a long drive. Keep them busy when they are sitting around the house. And, they are perfect to take to church to entertain them. They have the first initial in their name hidden in the bag also so no one will ever get theirs mixed up with someone elses.

Hope you liked my project. SShhhhhhhh it's a SECRET. LOL
"Wishing you ALL Happy Holidays."

Mandy is a VERY proud mom to
this little Angel.

Proud Grandpa and Grandma Her Grandpa McAffe gave her the blessing.

He loves her VERY much. After church we all met at the city park for

a nice lunch that Mandy prepared.

I am so proud of her for the light and
guidance that she has given her family.
Congratulations Keslee.
"GRANDMA loves you to the moon and
back."

Three years have gone by

She's regal in splendor

This Angel of love,

Cascading her flowers

From heaven above.

To fall from the sky

To land with her peace,

The angel of Shell

Her heart always seeks.

The flowers you gather

That fall from the sky,

Her gift of the spirit

That soars way up high.

A scent in the air

A pedal that lands,

In velvet she greets you

Wherever you stand.

She touches your soul

With all of her love,

Sprinkles her softness

With joy from above.

Look up to the sky

To see heaven so bright,

It's the angel of Shell

That gives out such light.

It seems like yesterday baby girl,

You are always in my heart and mind

forever..

Happy Birthday Mandy

Mandy,

I will never forget the joy in my heart

when I found out I was having a little girl

and gave birth to you.

I want you to know how much love and joy

you have given me, and how blessed I am

to know what a beautiful and wonderful

person you have grown up to be.

You are an amazing daughter, wife, sister

and mother.

You are now raising 4 beautiful children,

that have that special twinkle in their eye

and in their heart that represents a big

part of you.

I want to wish you a Happy Birthday Mandy

and let you know that I love you always.

Love, Mommy

HALLOWEEN HAVOC DERBY

In my last blog I said I will have an update
on how Tom's car is coming for the up
coming event. "Halloween Havoc in Ogden
on October 2nd". Well, he has pulled a
motor out and put one in this car. Stripped
it all out, replaced a starting motor, Fixed
the brakes, pounding with the hammer,
welded all the exterior of his car and has
been busy every day finishing up all the
mechanical problems that needed fixed.
We have all had a hand in helping out
with this car from painting, listening to
it as Tom starts it to adjust the timing,
Hearing,"WATCH MY CAMP TRAILER.
DON't HIT IT."!!! Not to forget Ed
tripping on welders, tools, paint can's,
Wrenches, jacks. Just to name a few. LOL
WOW it is finally ready for the derby.
Cob webs, ghosts and crawling spiders.
Here are some of the pics of his car. All we
have left to do is paint some names on it.
This should be a VERY interesting derby.!!!
Me,well, I will just sit back and relax and
pray that it will be a fun and safe derby EVER.!!!!!
Good Luck Tom !!
