There's No Place Like Home.

Jed and I had loved living in Oklahoma City, it was while we were there that we learn to rely on one another.  Jed did really well with his internship and had several interesting

calls. If you want to read about some of them~  jedcapps.blogspot.com 

But OKC wasn't for the Capps. We decided to head home to the state that we love and to be closer to family for the Holidays and family events. I really miss the ladies and the kiddos at Even Start and Jed did make a few friends with the other paramedics at EMSA. But it wasn't enough for us to stay. 

I'm excited for the adventure that lies ahead. Jed will be applying for Canyon County Paramedics and looking at schools to get his RN. Ill continue to sew pillow cases and stay within the school districts if I can. 

This will be the second time that Jed and I make the 23 hour drive from OKC to Fruitland ID. So we decided to make the most of this trip. Of course the highlight of both trips was visiting/staying at Grandpa and Grandma Wilson's house in Enterprise UT. But this last time we decided to stop at the

 We had both our cars, so we were excited to get out and move around and to be with each other. This was our first time here and we were amazed at how BIG it really was. Truly an amazing place! It should be one of the great wonders of the world! 

 We were able to drive from the south end of the canyon to the east side to get to Grandma's house. The sun was setting as we stopped every 5 miles to take another picture. Such a pretty place. 

Good thing Jed has a really nice SONY. We were able to get really good pictures and use his super zoom lens too! I really love the panorama pictures. 

More cute Onesies

These onesies were done when we had our "craft day" and I wanted to hand sew around them to make sure they stay on after use and washing. LOVE THEM!

Looks like it was done by a machine :)

I'm going to sew on a blue button for the whales eye!!

Two blue buttons for this owl too!!

Thanks Kelsey for giving me credit on creativity but I got the applique designs from this website. But I hope others will follow the pin and make super cute onesies. 

Christmas Music?

I think its the craziest thing ever to be wearing sandals and short sleeve shirts here when its NOVEMBER? It seems like the other day my mom got the van stuck in our driveway coming back from the grocerey store so we could have beans with our Thanksgiving dinner. Now Jed and I are turning on the A/C in our apartment. HUH?

Just because its HOT outside doesn't mean Im not excited for Christmas!! I saw these plastic ornaments at Michaels for only $.74!! I couldn't help myself! This will be our first Christmas together and I wanted to make our Christmas tree fun and festive :)



Needs a few more coats, hey?

So of course I had to add these to my craft list during the break. Sadly the didn't get finished but I still have a couple of weeks to work on them!!

As I was painting, Jed turned on some Christmas music and now that is all he listens to. The other day he asked if we could buy a Christmas movie? What about Thanksgiving?

So much to do :)

I will admitt. I overwhelmed myself with crafts during the Fall break. But hey... I LOVE IT!

I finally got the baby blanket done and delivered :)

When I came to their door I could hear their baby crying. So I knew they were home :) I knocked and ran down the hall to hide. ( they lived on the third floor and I was too scared that they would catch me running down the stairs.... or should I say fall down the stairs, knowing me)

After what seemed like FOREVER, I knocked again. Finally someone came to the door. I could tell that they were surprise because they spent 10 minutes going through the contents in the bag. I was afraid that they would walk down the hallway and find me hiding. Finally they took the bag and the gift and shut the door. Whew!

 LifeWater!! This is what gave me the energy and gumption to do all my crafts. :)

And of course I had to see if Kiona approved of my secret santa gift. :)

Us "paramedic wife" girls got together and decorated onesie!!! So fun and so cute. I made some for the other ladies who didnt make it to our Saturday Craft and actually had babies. Afterwards I asked Jed if I could buy some onesie just to decorate for our future kids. :)

This is a great way to use the scrap fabric that keeps piling up!!!

I wish I took pics of the two girl ones:( The pink and green cupcake turned out soooooo cute!! Ill have to see if Kiona will let me come over and take MORE pics of her. :)

Happy Halloween!!

 So I figured I would dress up this year!!! First time in 14 years!! I was so excited to be working at a preschool because I knew people (or the little kiddos) would love my costume idea this year! 

 I was trying to be quite as I was getting ready ( Jed worked till 6 am ) its a little hard to spray the back of your head when its up in a high ponytail :) I was happy that the camera had a timer on it. 

One of the cute girls at preschool. 

I was so thrilled to find out that another teacher dressed up!! I had a dream the night before that I was the only one who dressed up and everyone stared at me. I remembering feeling so awkward in my dream. Luckily that wasn't the case. 

 Oh how I love Kiona!!! 

I need to learn how to make my costume "baby proof" I was sad to find out that the lettering was coming off and the tutu was a little itchy for baby Kiona's legs. :( Also Axel putted off his chain.

Wish he was happier :(  I was itching to go trick or treat at a few houses. So Axel and I left the party and stopped by a few houses in our apartment complex. Sadly there was only one door that gave us candy. But we had fun anyways.

 Really like Jed's camera

 I think Ill keep this new do :) 

I was so sad that Jed had to work on Halloween night. I wonder what he would of dressed up as?? Maybe a Paramedic? hee hee
