Halloween & Christmas Boots

Have I ever mentioned that I love holiday decorations?  I'm pretty sure I get that from my mom.  Anyways, my sister-in-law Jamie made these cute boots, so Becky, Lynnette, and I all made some too.  They turned out super cute!

This is the elf boot

And the witches boot

Aren't they so cute?!



Sometimes I like to...

take picture of random things.  So that's what this post is about..... random pictures that I've taken in the last little while.  Nothing too exciting :) 



Poor Andy was trapped in her house for a
few days while it rained like CRAZY in St. George!



I told Mitch to write anything he wanted me to get from the grocery store on our list.
 He wrote the last three things.  He really wants a laptop haha



I made Halloween sugar cookies to take aorund to family :)



Guess what time it is?!!  Mitch is playing city league basketball again.  This year, my brothers
Casey and Tyler are on his team.  That is Tyler shooting that basketball

Hopefully this is a sign of what's to come!! (we're the home team btw)

Sick of being Sick!

Remember my kidney stone that I passed? Well when I continued to have problems, I went to the doctor and found out I had a UTI. So after a week of antibiotics, I was feeling much better...... just in time to catch a cold from Mitch. Why? I'm getting really sick of feeling like crap. On top of all this, I have some other issues going on in my life lately. Do you ever feel like life is picking on you? haha Mitch says that this is all just part of life's tests. That didn't make me feel better hahaha

Last night I decided to make Mitch homemade broccoli cheese soup since he was sick. He repaid me by sharing his cold with me. Yay.

Lately I've taken...

some random pictures of thing going on in my boring life. Don't get too excited.

This is the view from my couch...... Andy's life is pretty tough

We almost always see hot air balloons on Sunday mornings... this one landed in that field, and then again ON our hill.

Someone who lives by my mom left this table and chairs on the side of the road for anyone to take....... so we of course took them! We're pretty excited to eat outside when it cools down :)

Remember when I posted about us fixing up the side walkway to our basement? Well this is what it looks like now.... the plants have grown like crazy!

Andy loves when she's allowed to run around out back

Andy likes to "help" Mitch while he BBQ's...... she stands RIGHT behind him :)

New quilts for new babies!

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE being an aunt? And lucky for me, I have another niece and nephew on the way! Aleisha is having a baby boy in October, and Robyn is having a girl in November. Naturally, I had to make them quilts! I also decided to make carseat covers for each of them. It think they turned out pretty cute.

I loved the fabric so much I bought some for whenever I have a little girl!

It's kinda hard to tell, but the back was a cute soft green

The carseat cover

The lighting isn't great in this picture, but Aleisha found a cute crib bumper that matched perfectly with the baby's quilt. I also made a cute little pillow to match :)

And here is the matching carseat cover

Tarzan

On Monday night, I went with my family to see Tarzan at Tuacahn. It was really good! I went with my mom, sister, three sister-in-laws, and all 8 nieces and nephews. I always think it's funner to do things like this with the kids, just to see how excited they get! Kenzee and Lyla were a little scared in some parts, but for the most part, the kids all liked it. There were lots of characters flying around on zip-lines and stuff, so it was quite different than anything else I've seen at Tuacahn!

Brooklyn waiting for the show to start...

Our group was split up on two rows...

We weren't allowed to take pictures during the show, so this picture before the show is the only one I have of the stage

Kenzee and Brooklyn during intermission

Lyla and Ashlee.... clearly Lyla really wanted to take a picture haha

Hearty Meals

Mitch often likes to refer to my meals (like the one pictured above) as "hearty meals." I'm not sure why...... but it's pretty funny when he says it. "Welp, that was a good hearty meal. Thanks!" Do we live in the 50's? haha
