diy projects...

I attempted the cool wreath but it didn't quite turn out like the picture... It's still kinda cute, I guess... but probably not hang on the wall forever cute. I might tie a big red ribbon around it and hang it over a mirror for christmas... or it might go in the trash, we'll see.

I have a new obsession. Crocheting. Yes, it's true. I'm a 76-year-old woman. It's just so fun. My friend Kristen makes the cutest, cutest circle scarves ever! You HAVE to check them out here!!!! So I thought I would try my hand at it and yes, it is super easy, but my scarves aren't nearly as cute as hers and I still don't really know what I'm doing and It's really hard to judge how big/long it is going to be... so i'll just keep trying. Thank goodness for 'How to Crochet' youtube videos haha I don't think I'm using thick enough yarn or maybe I'm using the wrong size hook? IDK. Those detailed things mean nothing to me. Please give me pointers if you know how to crochet!! :)

Here are the only two I've made so far (well I guess i've made 3 but the first one fell apart! ha!)

Last weekend the hubby and I {well I didn't really do much since we have a tiny baby who doesn't like to play by herself} painted our back living room from this dark, kinda weird brown color to my favorite color ever - silver sage! It looks a million times better. So much brighter and fun. Now I just need new things to hang on the wall and maybe some new lamps too. One thing alllllllways leads to another, doesn't it.

let it snow...

I'm a few weeks behind but i'll try and catch up this week...

so last week (on nov 12th) we woke up to this:

It was so crazy!! and I had no idea there was even a chance of snow so I was super surprised! Of course we still had school even though the roads (and the trees) looked like this:

It was Reese's first ever snow day. We didn't get to take her out in it {too cold!} but she loved looking at it through the window. Can't wait to go sledding with you one of these days baby Reeser!

Happy Halloween!

Here's Reese with our sweet neighbor's little girl, Lulu

Mark and I got into costume too :) {we were farmers, if you cant tell} 

We had a few trick-or-treaters and then we went to our big church fall festival. Reese was super sleepy the whole time but it was still fun, and she was still as cute as ever, if i do say so myself :)

Last weekend we traveled to our church's lodge in Glorieta, New Mexico with our sunday school class. We had so much fun together! We spent most of the time sitting around watching the babies but we ate some yummy food, spent the afternoon in Santa Fe and had a blast together. Here are a few pictures from the beautiful weekend:

Harper (3 months), Jack (5 months), Reese (6 months), Camden (7 months), Kenlee (18 months)
