Attempting...

To make these today!!
I want to give them to my visiting teaching ladies/families! Plus extra for whoever!

Wish me luck!!

The air is crisp,
Sweatshirts are in,
Im just not ready to give up:



But I am so ready for this:




Happy First day of Fall!!

LV NV

I didnt get a lot of pictures while we were down there, but I got a few funny pics and some pics of what we did!


Mike wanted us to push him around in the bell cart!


On the strip it wasnt the girls we had to watch out for! There was a dancing donut!!! Scandalous!!



Then there were some spooning lions! Even lions like to cuddle!


Colby, me, Brittany, Cade, Mike, and Dalene all went to go see Steve Wyrick the magician! It was a good show and we all enjoyed it!

It was a fun trip and Im glad everyone (almost) was there!!

Bathtime and First Haircut

Well Krone is a little dog, but when we give him a bath, he looks like a rat. A cute rat, but still...
What do you think?



Krone's hair was getting kind of long. I thought he was cute, but it was almost covering his eyes. Plus he was starting to look a little rough after a hard week of having fleas, and us getting rid of his fleas. I learned my lesson. No flea treatment, no grass/outside/anything!! Things of the South that I never knew about until I moved here. Anyways, yesterday afternoon Colby decided to give him a haircut. He did a good job, He couldn't get his left side very good because Krone kept laying on it, but everything is looks good!

Heres some pics of his dew!

He's innocent!

Krone is in the process of being house trained! When we are home is 99% potty trained, but we are still a little nervous to let him run around the house all day. One day when I left for the gym I left him in the master/bathroom/closet. Lots of room to play.. and of course, make messes!

He looks so innocent in that picture!!
He finally discovered toilet paper. I was warned about this, but I was nieve and thought he never would. There was toilet paper all over all 3 rooms! The majority of it was in the doorway though! Silly puppy!

headboard project

I really wanted a headboard but didn't want to buy one. After talking with Brittany we decided that we were completely capable of making one ourselves! 

After deciding what kind of headboard we wanted to create (upholstered or plain wood) we went for the wood! 

We went to Home Depot to get the wood and then to walmart to grab some other supplies! 

We got started on our project the following week.

 We had to cut the wood (Thanks to Rylan for taking the pictures!)

  Then we screwed on the 2 X 4's on the back.

Then we had to make sure that everything was level and even. (This was the hard part!)

VOILA!! almost finished product!

We stained it about a week later and Brittany put a second coat on it! It took about a month from completion to get it to my house because we needed the trailer and someone to help get it up the stairs! Colby was to the rescue! We got it set up and looks great!

Note: the large pile next to the bed... that would be half of Colbys things that aren't put away yet. We got a steal on a new dresser yesterday so...Hopefully this week! :)

Introducing Mr & Mrs Colby Howard!

Here are a few more pictures from the wedding! Enjoy!

Married!
