My baby brother is all grown up!

Earlier this month my brother Michael and Amanda were sealed in the Portland, OR temple. Dont they make a cute couple? :)  Heres just a few from their day!






wedded bliss

I love being apart of a couples wedding day. This bride and groom were no exception, they were so laid back and you could tell that they were so happy to be getting married.

cereal box mirrors

Theres was an empty wall by our kitchen table that I really wanted to hang mirrors on. I had a specific look in mind and the mirrors that I found were each $75 (no, thanks for cheap momma over here), so I decided to do a little diy project.

 Well, its done! I finished the frames last year but I had to wait a few months for it to get warm again so I could spray paint them. I love the way they turned out. And the best part, it cost me less then $15 for all three, much better for the purse strings. If you wanted to know how to make them go here.

They were super easy to make, just a little time consuming! Thank goodness the Bachelor was on then :)

Yay!

I have LOTS to be excited about.

First off- Summer is actually here! We went swimming for the first time this year- no pictures, but its ok cause liam wasnt having it at all. He's been sick the past couple of days and I dont think he was feeling up to swimming, poor guy.

Second- I finally have my new computer! I now dont have to wait for Chase to load pictures onto his and then transfer them to my computer! Now I just have to wait for him to teach me how to load them onto mine, so sorry no pics yet. But I have lots of pictures just waiting to be loaded!

Third- In January, my friend started building me a built in bookcase in our basement and that is now finished!

and Fourth- We finally started redoing our backyard!! Pulling out stumps, cutting down trees and next is laying new sprinklers! I cant wait til we have a lawn rather then goat heads and stickers to play on. It'll take a while to get the finished product, but we started and thats all that matters :) We are going to be fencing in our property (which is an acre) and I can not believe how expensive fencing is. We dont have time to build a fence for that big of an area so we need to buy the pre-built sections which is a pretty penny. So we'll have a fence finished in, oh i dont know, 7 years :)
