Ward Talent Show!

 Who can't love this face!!!!

Tonight our ward had a talent show. It was a lot of fun! Porter and his friend did "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" By Poison. Zander and Josh played the guitar and Porter sang! He did fabuloso! His cousins came to support him! So cute! He has so much courage. The kind I never had his age. I admire him for that! He did great!!!!!! I love ya Porter!

Being a mom......

Every so often I'll have these redeeming moments through out the day that save my sanity when (this would be one of those moments) my 6 year old says...."mom what is Jesus gonna be for Halloween?" Melted my heart. OK. you are a keeper!  Us as moms and sometimes dad's we are nothing but little errand runners and cleaner uppers but thank good ness we have those shining opportunities to see the sweetheart in them and why we love them!!!!!

Great Night!

Tonight was one of those nights that I have to tell! First at 4:00 p.m. Ian and I went to a wedding of one of our friends. It was outside at a park. She looked beautiful and I am so excited for her because she is a very kind person that really truely deserves happiness and I think she has it!  It made me appreciate my marriage a lot. It also made me remember our wedding day!!!! After the wedding we went over to this guys house that Ian did some legal work for. He has wanted to have us over for a long time. His name is Sahid. He moved to America about 20 years ago for college and has stayed here. He is from Iran and still has family there. He made traditional food for us from Iran. A wonderful evening!!  It is nice to have a little bit of culture!!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!!!

October Decor!

                                       This one I have the document file for if you are interested! Super easy! You just print it off on scrapbook paper and mog pogged it on a painted little plaque!!!!! I love it!

This one I ordered the vinyl lettering for! I had the wood in the garage and spray painted it (also in my garage) and put the lettering on then aged it with a little stain!  Still an inexpensive super cute craft!!! I have the web site if you are interested!!!! This is what happens when all three kids are in school! You actually get stuff done!!!!!

My Latest Fixer Upper!

I refinished this desk! It used to be an ugly brown (poorly painted brown) with ugly old rusty handles. So a lot of hard work this is what I got!!!!!!! I need a different chair!!!!! Sorry I don't have a before pix!!!!! Just think "ugly"!!!!

Extreme Makeover Home Edition

So a few weeks ago Ty Pennington and his crew were here and took care of a family in need! This was a great experience for Pocatello! Thousands volunteered and some were turned away (me) :( No really it was great! This family needed it and the house turned out gorgeous!!! It will air sometime in October! I'll let you know!

A little September project!!

Just had to share!! It was fun and easy to make! I think I am gonna do one every month!!!!!

Another Brody Moment!

So the other day we had an experience that needs to documented for future generations to hear.........So Ian was out side unloading his motorcycle out of his truck. Brody was outside so I thought Ian was watching him. I was doing who knows what...........So a few days later my friend calls me and says "So did Brody tell you what he did at our house?" "NO!!!!" I said "But please don't tell me!" just kidding so I told her to tell me and she continues to tell an innocent game of hide and go seek. They have a camper trailer next to their house. So where did Brody hide? He climbed up the ladder on the trailer then continued onto the roof of their house. What the hec! I am telling you people in the blog world......It is a miracle he is still alive and kicking!!!! Let's just say he won't be climbing onto any roofs any time soon!! :)
