thank you, thank you, everyone!

thanks amanda! you gave me this wonderful unfinished frame forever ago. i loved it and knew just what i was going to do but never managed to do it, until now. i finally finished it and i love it. our home is blessed to have a picture of the temple now so thanks madem!

thank you devin and kristin. we had so much fun in show low this weekend hanging out and playing around. you were so nice to set us up in a cabin. we will have to find a way to make it work so we come up on your day off so we can all hang out and nobody has work. you are amazing and we love you!

thank you scott and chad. they manual labored for two saturdays to put this beast up and our yard (dirt) is hard as rock. scott was even so kind to bring over the heavy machinery to make it slightly easier (thanks gold medal gardening). it looks great and avery will love it-someday!

ooh la la!

voila! we have a new headboard.

see how i have grown!

i love goodwill

i felt like the crazy lady on the stupid goodwill comercial today. you know the lady in the pink track outfit who goes in looking for a punch bowl and finds a ton of junk. that was me today, only i didn't get junk, i got a ton of loot! i was so excited. i just kept finding stuff all over the place. i love the easter tree i found, chad thinks it should still be on a shelf at goodwill. that little bird house thing i need to find a use for (either jewelry, candle, greenery). i got those hideously purple letters to paint them. the glass lemon i got because it was only a .99 so i will chuck it in the kitchen somewhere. and those amazing little flower broches i will be making magnets with. i got that cute little dress for a friends little baby girl, and chad got two shirts.

carrots today

is it just me buds, or do those orange carrots on your face make your eyes look really blue? 

silly things i love about being a mom: the explosion of baby toys that are scattered about our living room, buying baby food & picking the flavor, sink baths, singing cheesy songs, the smell of his blanket, having a drawer in the kitchen with bibs tiny bowls & spoons and bottles, little clothes in the laundry...
