Well, Brad is working another grave. I have no real homework to worry about tonight, so I'm a little bored because Kaden is using my t.v. So, I've been looking at quilt patterns to get some ideas. These are some ideas of quilts that I would like to do... Kaden's will probably end up like one of these.
This first one is the one I really want to do. Of course it won't be purple or have Dora on it, but I love the design!

I also really like this one. I don't know how well it would work out with the fabrics that I've been able to find though.

I just barely came across this one tonight. I think with the right colors it could turn out cute...

And this is just a really cute quilt that I think would be fun to make for each of my kids. Their own "I Spy" quilt. I like how this one turned out.

Let me know what you think. Any suggestions would be welcome. This is the first time I've ever considered quilting before... should be interesting! After I take my final exam I have to wait two weeks to get my results, before I can start applying for jobs. I figure that would be a good time to get going on this!

Fabric help
I've been wanting to make a quilt for Kaden. The only problem is, he wants a Star Wars quilt. For the life of me, I can't find any Star Wars fabric anywhere. I looked on E-bay and they have some, but it's expensive and not exactly what I want. Any suggestions?
Too much spare time!
I finished my transcription stuff!!!! And I'm going crazy today with all the extra time that I have. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely nice to be able to have free time instead of being stuck at the computer all day (in between chasing kids). I'm just not used to it, so I can't decide what to do. It figures that I would catch up my blog.
So here are Aaron's haircut pictures:

Sorry my pictures are out of order, again. This is after his haircut.
Another after picture.
He was so mad at me, so when we finished we gave him a popsicle to help him calm down. It worked pretty well.
Right before the haircut. I did that so I could save some hair for his baby book... I know I'm a weirdo.
The back of his hair, before.
So here are Aaron's haircut pictures:
His hair was super long and out of control!
Well, there really isn't a whole lot going on around here. I did finish my program and I'm scheduled to take my final next Tuesday and Wednesday. It's just online, so I'll do it at home, and just work on it when I find time. Pray for me. I'm super nervous.
Brad got hired at Jordan Valley Medical Center, p.r.n. The Radiology Director there is also the director at Pioneer Hospital, so he is actually working at 3 different hospitals. It's stressful for him, but he's getting some awesome experience, not to mention he's about the only student in his class with a job. He's doing great and I'm thankful for all his hardwork. For the next two weeks, he doesn't have a single day off, and several of his shifts are graves. We are just thankful for the money though.
Well, that's the Jensen family in a nutshell right now. Yeah, we're pretty boring.
