WHAT THE SNOW!???

It's October 10th and this is what Boise looks like. Craziness!
I took this one so you could see that I have HALLOWEEN decorations up and there is snow falling in front of our house. Insanity!

Johnny's B-day & Conference

We had the family over for presents and yummy carmel chocolate bars that I made. They were deeelish, if I do say so myself!
Happy Birthday!!!
Then, on Friday I suprised Johnny by booking us in a hotel, it was way fun and here I was obviously excited to g down to the hot tub.
This is how Riley and Johnny enjoyed the afternoon session of conference: under the quilting frames mom was working on. They really were both awake, even though it doesn't look like it.
Dad and uncle Dave decided to be twinners for the priesthood session where they saw my brother JAKE singing in the MTC choir. I miss him!

Cuteset Niece and Nephew Ever!!

So, I totally stole this picture off my sisters blog. I was looking at it and realized how much I miss those litte rug rats! Can't wait til Christmas! How many days left dad?

Our NEW and IMPROVED Apartment!

A few weekends ago we painted our new apartment, got new furniture, and new linoleum. It was a really long day, but it was worth it. I only wish I had taken pictures of the place before the make over. The living room walls were all the dungeony charcoal gray, yuck! And the kitchen and bathroom had that flat, nasty CARPET. Thanks to Erika and Riley, and Perry And Val, for working all day long with us! ( These pictures are kindof out of order) Erika got paint in her eye, among other places.

Here is our amazing over-sized chair, so comfy! This is the loveseat. As you can see we have all of our halloween decorations up.
This is the computer room which will eventually be the baby rooom, hence the disney.
We love the linoleum. SO much better than the carpet that used to be here.
This was during the painting and everything. Kindof a mess.
Johnny was outside measuring and cutting linoleum all day. He got a little sunburned.
This wall used to be maroon, we primed it and painted it milk chocolate (that was the name of the color). It seems I forgot to put a picture of that wall up. I'll add it later.
I stepped right in the wet paint. We were lucky I didn't step onto the carpet with that foot!
Here is Val just painting away. She did alot of the edges and corners which I was so grateful for. You can see the gray paint that was underneath.

We love our little apartment and feel lucky to be living so close to our bestest friends. You should all come visit!

All In a Days Work.. or FUN!

Saturday was a really busy day for me and Johnny. We went to my grandmas 83rd birthday party at the care center where she lives.
Dad was rolling around in that wheelchair all day.
We had to make something for our ward picnic that was right after grandmas party. So we made these fun pumpkin cupcakes. I think they turned out really cute.
And then we (well Erika and I) helped Heidi get off to the Homecoming dance. Doesn't she look smashing?(Does that dress look familiar Jess?) Also I went to dinner with the women in my family and then watched the Relief Society Broadcast. What a day!

Women's Fitness Celebration!!

So, I stole all these pictures from my sisters blog because my camera pooped out that day
Me and my sister Erika and Heidi ran the 5k run yesterday with about 16,000 other women. And it was POURING RAIN THE WHOLE TIME!
Once we got to the end it was really cold. They had all sorts of booths set up in the park with free: juice, yogurt,granola, bagels, chapstick and lots of other free stuff. It was lots of fun.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

A couple weeks ago we were crossing the friendship bridge over the Boise River on our way home from Art in the Park. This is what we saw. It's true. This is totally a bride in her wedding dress getting her picture taken while standing in the river!
I hope she didn't pay very much for that.
