El Project

This little number has been brewing in my mind since we built this house three years ago. But first we had to tile everything, paint the kitchen, finish a living room, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and two bedrooms in the basement, and put wainscoting in the guest bedroom and moulding around all the windows. So we just got around to the bedroom and it took about a week to finish.

If there is anyone thinking, "Boy, I'd love to put some real wainscoting up in my bedroom," let me just warn you - there were several days of this...

 

Mason and Caspie weren't the biggest helpers.

 

In case you're having a bad day.

Someone's got the giggles.

 

A Baby and a Birthday

HOPE YOUR HOLIDAYS ARE GOING WELL SO FAR!

D-D-D-DISNEYLAND!

Last year around this time we planned a trip to Disneyland. Then I found out I was pregnant. We went a couple of years ago (the first time since we were young kids) and LOVED it. So we have really wanted to go back. The opportunity presented itself last week and at the last minute we decided to drive on down to sunny southern California.

All Hallows Eve

So. Halloween. It was pretty fun this year. It's not a holiday that Tim and I typically get into. Last year for Halloween Tim went with Ogden High's Football team to Cedar City and I spent the night sick at home with Heather. This year Ogden didn't make it to the playoffs (insert smiley or frowney here, depending on your preference) so we got Mason all dressed up as the most adorable monkey EVER and spent the holiday with family.

His costume came about a month early and I couldn't help trying it on him, so these are a little old.

Thursday before Halloween we had the annual bread bowl party at the Arbons' and then Saturday my parents and brother Ryan came over for my attempt at bread bowls, to pass out candy, and play pool. Oh yeah, we got a pool table. Please feel free to invite yourself over to play! Also, for some reason I thought it would be good to put my baby in a cold, gooey pumpkin.
