I've been working on these...

Yep, this is what I have been doing. Getting everything setup and things photographed so we can open the shop! yay

I also have a suuuuper cute Hot Air Balloon one (with embroidered clouds) that I haven't photographed yet and I am working on a whale, argyle, robot, etc. Everything is coming along. Which is your favorite?

Happy Birthday Mom!

It was my mommy's birthday on the 10th (and my aunt Jannette's birthday on the 9th!) and we had a picnic and some kite flying. Jarom got a sweet space shuttle kite for Easter and it was the perfect day to launch it! We had a great time laying in the grass, soaking up some much needed sun and swinging at the park! I love this season! (Left-Jannette, Right-Mom)

 

 

happy picnicking! xo.

Happy Easter, a week and a half ago!

Belated Happy Easter!

Yes, please, I will have a cute bunny. I can't believe I haven't even blogged about Easter! Possibly because it was kind of lame. My parents and brothers went to my grandparents, Jarom had to work that day until 2:00 and the weather was bad, so we didn't do much except BBQ some burgers and I made deviled eggs and potato salad. Pretty exciting, right? ooh! and I watched the Sound of Music on tv.
I hope you had a good one!

Annnnnddd..... we went Mini Golfing! yay.

Hello again.
Nextly (yep, I am making up this word), we went Mini Golfing with James and Kayla on the 2nd of April, but it wasn't just any mini golfing, it was blacklight, glow-in-the-dark mini golf! super cool, eh?

I won.

Ikea

Since a lot has been going on, I am breaking up everything into separate posts! ok? ok.

On the 29th we made a trip to Ikea with Sam and Sharon.
p.s:  I Looveees me some Ikea. but if you've seen our stuff, you know that!
It was fun to hang out with them again, I miss having Sam around, she is like my little sister! But it was not fun to not find anything. I did not buy ANYthing. What is this world coming to when I pick things up and ask myself, "Do I need this?" I must be broke...! haha!

Now for pictures...

 

 

 

Not sure why the pics look warped! Maybe it's my screen. the end.

you have been neglected my blog...

I don't know where I've been! Every time I get on the computer I plan to blog the goings on and I get distracted and start doing something else (like reading other blogs, I need BA-Blogger's Anonymous!).
So since we last met we've been busy! We went to Mountain Home/Boise on the weekend of the 27-28th of March for  James and Kayla's baby, Aybrie's blessing , she is super cute! And I was super excited to have a picnic finally and wear my new/old topsiders (shoes, if you aren't hip on the shoe lingo!) that I got in Phoenix for half off! I have been waaaaiting for picnic season! I admit the day was not ideal, windy and cloudy but we picnicked none the less!

We also picked up buddy from the storage unit in MH and brought him back to Utah with us, the family is back together! (almost, we forgot my bike :( and I am still bummed!)

But we are excited for the warmer weather so we can ride the Buddy again and save loads on gas! yay for us!

Busy Beavers...

Hi! It's been a super busy weekend and we have been all over the place! Saturday afternoon we made our way up to Mountain Home/Boise for the blessing of James and Kayla's baby Aybrie on Sunday. Then we headed home on Sunday. Today Jarom started a new job at a grocery store that is right down the road and I took a trip down to Ikea with Sam and her mom and grandma and my mom. That is the last few days in a nutshell! I will expand on everything tomorrow hopefully! When I have more time!

So I will leave you with this! holy...!


love it!
xo.

yes, another video.

Okay, this is the last one for tonight! Can we tell I'm excited I can get this video thing to work!?!?! And can we also tell I have been spending too much time on YouTube...yes we can. So, one of my favorite bands, Alkaline Trio, came out with a new cd (This Addiction) about a month ago and this is the first single from the cd. If anyone is reading this and has heard the cd, let me know if it's good because I haven't listened to it yet and I'm just wondering if they are doing the same, "we're-growing-up-and-we're-getting-a-slower-and-more-mature-sound-band-thing that everyone else is doing. I don't think they are if I'm judging from this song. But you never know, the other songs could be slooow and that is not what I am in the mood for right now!
Anyway...here's the video!



Hope you like. I did not screen for content :) so I apologize in advance. haha
xo. goodnight.

Stop Motion

There is some beautiful stop motion going on out there right now! These two videos have been floating around the internet a lot lately and for good reason. They are quite lovely! I have really been wanting to post these for a few weeks but they wouldn't fit until I adjusted the width of my blog so...finally, right?

First: The music video for the song Lost Things by A Fine Frenzy, directed by Angela Kohler.
This really inspires me & Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy is gorgeous (kinda wish I was a redhead)!



Second & Third: The Kindle commercial series. They are pretty darn cute, too!




Directed by Ithyle Griffiths and Angela Kohler.

AH*Mazing!

I was just over at a beautiful mess and saw this beautiful mural (and a lot of other great tutorials!) It is sooo amazing, words cannot express! I really want to do this. Really, Really! Especially because we have the capabilities with a projector and whatnot. I have always been a big fan of paint by numbers, and am always on the look out for good ones at thrift stores but never seem to have any luck (insert sad face). Love the landscapes with lovely fall colors and the ship ones! (so keep a look out for me, k?)
