House

Some of our family and friends haven't seen our house, so here are some pictures. It's still a work in progress, but we love where it is right now.

Dining Room:



Living Room:




{Custom birthday photo from Aubrey Trinnaman. She does custom photos for you given the information you tell her. I told her Adam likes robots and I wanted it to say "I love your guts". I LOVE how it turned out.}

{Custom shoes for another birthday present for Adam last year by Ruel Brown. Again with the robots...man I'm noticing a theme.}

Bedroom:

In Reality

So before you call animal control on us. Here is the REAL picture:

EDITED: Sawyer: The Flying Puppy

EDIT: Well, for any of you who check my blog at 8 am, the pictures were not quite right. I set them up to be big, but forgot to set the specifics. This should look better!!

The title of this post is inspired from that really old show Gidget: The Flying Nun. What a strange show!

Adam likes to toss our puppy, much like you would a little toddler. Sawyer doesn't hate it, but I can't really tell if he loves it either. But Adam sure loves it!

This picture is from Easter in Spring City.



We had to do a quick little photoshoot on Monday. I made some graduation announcements and needed a recent pic of me taken. I also shot a photo of Adam and Sawyer.

Easter

This Easter, Adam, Kristina and I went down to Spring City to hang out with Jamie, Ashley and the kids. The weather was great (it's not great now!) The day included blowing bubbles, kite-flying, yummy dinner and pirate tales! Here are some pics to document the day:








Later in the evening, after Ava had passed out on the floor, Ollie put on a little show for us. After discovering a toy we brought that resembled a periscope, Ollie picked up his pirate hat.

(Ollie is checking himself out in the mirror)
Adam: How do you look Ollie?
Ollie: Pirate-y!

I agree.


Ollie then proceeded to tell us a wonderful and creative story about a pirate and a group of bad soldiers. He even took a bow when he was done!

From Russia With Love...

My fave friend Allison came home from her mission in Russia. She is living at home for another month in PA, but came out here to visit!! It was great to catch up, quote movies/TV shows, play her new music, and dance in my living room. We sang our favorite duets (How Deep is Your Love?) and laughed at our many inside jokes. There were so many times while she has been gone that I would think of something that only she would get and I'm so glad that now we can share those moments again. Here are some pictures from her visit and the party we had. Somehow I managed to forget to take any pictures of us together though!

BTW, I've clearly been playing around with Photoshop. As soon as I actually read the manual to my camera, maybe I won't need Photoshop as much. Until then, seventies action here I come.

Spring Cleaning

No...not my house. Well, we're doing that too. But my blog. I couldn't stand my blog background anymore and I was sick of the ones I found on thecutestblogontheblock.com. Soooo, I made my own. I'm not entirely excited about this one quite yet, but I'm glad to know how to do it so I can keep working on one I like! Thanks to Adam for helping me fix a few code glitches!!

Lust

These are things I am loving right now...These books. I've seen them everywhere in blog world, but I just think they're lovely and would love to put them on my bookshelf that isn't finished yet. Maybe if I had them I would feel the motivation to paint that said bookshelf?! You can find them for very cheap here. (p.s. they're even cheaper than listed because that's Canadian money.)

{Found via decor8}

I love this frame clock. I don't even really know where I'd put this. Okay well, I may have an idea or two, but I just think it is so adorable. $65 including the frames and the arm pieces from here.



I also think this is the cutest swimsuit from Vicky's, HOWEVER, I have never had luck with them for a) sizing b) getting my order right c) getting anything on time when it was expected.

Stay tuned. I will finally be putting up before and afters of my house and some of my projects. I will also hopefully be revamping this blog as soon as I can get my Photoshop to cooperate.

Best Part About St. Patrick's Day...

are the McDonalds Shamrock Shakes. Hands down.

Sawyer

While I was taking the puppy out for a walk, I ran into my new friend Leah. She's a great photographer and she took this cute picture of Sawyer. You can check out her blog here.

Porkie or Yoodle?

Meet our puppy. This is Sawyer. He may or may not be named after the character on Lost or perhaps after the Sawyer in the literary classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I'll let the reader be the judge.

Sawyer is part Yorkie part Poodle. Yes that's right, a Yorkiepoo. But let's skip past that part. I prefer a Porkie anyway or maybe a Yoodle. They're all awful... But Sawyer is not. He is the cutest little puppy. We love having him, even though it means waking up multiple times in the middle of the night to stand out in the freezing cold. Playdates welcome!
