Quilt

January 31

I finally finished my first quilt. I started making it for Wes last fall and it's finally done, time to move on to the next one.

Baby Collette

My mom flew into town to be with Rose and the Baby so I have been spending some time over at her house. We are so excited that baby Grace is here.

I was searching the house for something for Wes to wear and I found these red overalls that John wore as a baby, they are awesome, we have four pairs of the same overalls in different sizes from John, I guess he loved red overalls.

Pink Project

Ok this is what I finally made for Valentine's. I tried a few other projects that didn't turn out. It's a little more scrappy than I normally like but its fun.

Silly Wes

If we don't close the wipes tub Wes will pull them out as fast as he can and suck on them. I think we counted 17 wipes that he pulled out.

Now on Video

January 27

We finally have a video camera so we will be posting some movies soon. So far we like it but haven't used it a ton, we will let you know how it goes.

Fun Tip

You can make your own ring tones from your own songs in itunes. Which is what we just spent the last hour or so doing. Here is how:

1. go to itunes preferences/ advanced / importing.
2. set it to import using "mp3 encoder" and setting: custom
3. set the stereo bit rate to "48 kbps" and sample rate: auto, and channels: mono
4. click ok and then ok (close preferences)

1. select the song you want in itunes and click apple "I" (or right click) get info
2. click options and select the stop time to be 0:30 (this creates a 30 sec track) click ok
3. right click on your song again and select "convert selection to mp3" and it will convert it to a 30 sec mp3 (your original song won't change)
4. drag the song/ring tone to the desk top
5. you might want to change the original song back to the full length track so it will play more than 30 seconds of it

1. turn the blue tooth on in your phone and your computer
2. save your song into your songs folder in your phone

I don't think this works for all phones or all computers. We have razrs and an imac.

Our Week

Last weekend we hung out with Emily and Tyler and Nathan and Chelsea (who are engaged, and we are SO excited for them). We went miniature golfing at an arcade. Check out Wes, he was mesmerized by the flashing lights of the arcade. Then we went back to Emily and Tyler's and had delicious enchiladas and played Rock Band.

I got to spend the afternoon on Monday with Amber and her kids Taesya and Cannon and then we went out to dinner with them when Ben got off work.

Tuesday I had lunch with Rose and our friend Summer from back home who we havent seen in years. It was fun to catch up and talk about baby stories, Summer is due next month.

Saturday we went with Rose and Josh to Teri's wedding reception and then back to their house for a night of Call of Duty for the boys, and story telling for the girls.

Sunday morning we woke up to the news that rose was in the hospital in labor! She had her baby that night so tune into her blog to find out more.
