Banks Brigade: Blanket Bonanza!

Blanket Bonanza!

Each time I have a kid, I make a special fleece blanket for them. Just the easy kind that you tie, on 2 ends and sew on the others. Four kids and four "special" blankets later, here is the result. I just got done making Colton's on Saturday. I am not one that has the talents pouring in. I don't have musical talent, not good at public speaking, leading a group, decorating, etc. but I CAN make a MEAN blanket! Let me know if you would like one ;) I think this is the first time I tried to take a pic of all the kids together. It was hard!

Coco has the cutest smile, but it is hard to get it on camera...here is mine and Wes's attempt to capture it!! WE LOVE HIM!

Stefani said...: Wow! Is his hair RED? So cute! I love the blankets! I have one that Janet made me and it is so snuggly! I should pay you to make some for my kids.

And what are you talking about NO talents??? You just have so many of them and things come so easily that you don't recognize them as talents. <3; September 20, 2010 at 3:50 PM

I was sing along with the radio when I hear, Wes say: Oh man, mom knows the words to this song, that means its a REALLY old song!"
Talking about Pirates of the Carribean wii game, Wes says: "Will Turner is really cool" Landon, in his BEST British accent: "You mean Will Turna?"
After boiling eggs, Wes asked if we were going to eat the scramboiled eggs.
Landon: Mom, your eyelashes are all dirty. Me: That is my make up. It's called mascara. Landon: Oh.
Landon: "Wes, my brain is telling me I want a lick of your popcicle."
Colton: Someping, puter=Play something on the computer

While at the library, Landon saw a bunch of Elders (missionaries)in their suits, on the computers (P day) and says "Wow, look at all those wedding guys!"
During FHE we were thinking of compliments to say to each other. Wes says to Sydnie "You are the best sister I could ever ask for."
While watching MoTab sing Christmas songs on Youtube, Wes says: "They are all wearing the same thing, they must shop at the same place."
Me: "Landon, don't play with that, it's expensive." Landon: What is "Spankive?"
At Costco Wes asks: "Mom, how do they get all the stuff up so high on the shelves?" Before I could say forklift, Landon says: "Spiderman probably does it."

I was peeling potatoes and Landon asked if I was making potato heads.
Landon singing: Rock-a-bye baby in the tree honk.
Me: "Landon, you are SO demanding!" Landon (in the saddest voice possible): "I am not demanding, I am just Lando."
Our neighbors have a little Chihuahua. They told the kids to stay away from it because it bites. Wes is very scared of it and calls it the "female biting chihuahua."
Wes leans over to me in Sacrament Meeting and says "I'm filled with the spirit!"
Sydnie to me: Ms. Vigil (her teacher) was out sick today with a stomach ache. Wes: "Maybe she needs to go poo." (can you tell that is what he hears a lot, from me?)
After Colton sneezed Landon said to him, "bless you, Tiny."
