Christmas Decor

I finished the Christmas tree skirt I was working on. I'm really happy how it turned out. Sadly enough we don't have a Christmas tree to utilize the skirt. I also took a picture of our nativity set. We got it as a wedding gift and I absolutely love it. Last year I made stockings for Devin and I so I thought I'd take a picture of those as well. I love this time of year and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.

Baby Talk

Yesterday our friends Grant and Brianne came over to congratulate us and they gave us our first little baby gift. It made me so happy! Thanks guys:) I don't think it has really hit me that there is a baby inside me. So far I have just been really sick. As soon as I opened the gift, it really hit me. There is a little baby in me and Devin and I will be parents in six months. Aahhh, crazy! We have our second appt. this friday. I just always hope and pray that the baby is healthy and all goes well. Thanks for all the support and love.

Oh Baby Oh Baby!!

Well it's true, Devin and I are expecting a little baby bundle of joy!! I am currently 11 weeks along and the due date is June 19th.

Golden Dragon Chinese Acrobatics

Last Saturday we went to a chinese acrobatic show here in Rexburg, ID. Oh my goodness these little chinese people are amazing. The show was very very good. They would balance on something that was balancing on something that was balancing on something. It was crazy! One guy was balancing on chairs from the floor all the way up to the ceiling and then balanced on one arm. Here are some you tube performances from the Golden Dragon Acrobats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZAYU7fMGpY, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ9SuJaCiUc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3PrWcRGVk&feature=related. After the show Devin wanted to go home and try balancing our kitchen table with his feet. It was a really fun show to go to and they were incredible.

Halloween 2011

For Halloween I was Little Red Riding Hood and Devin was the Big Bad Wolf. I love dressing up for Halloween it's so much fun. That night we had taco soup, sugar cookies and played murder in the dark. It was a lot of fun.

Lost

Last Saturday we went to a Straw Maze with our ward. It was a lot of fun. We got lost but we finally made our way to the exit an hour later. At night the scary ghouls and monsters come out so I was walking really fast because I wanted to get out before they came out. There were a few monsters and zombies that scared us but the good part is that we got out alive. There was also a camel at the straw maze. It was pretty big and had really soft, thick fur. It was really cool. After the maze we went to our friends place and taught everyone how to play BANG. We had a really fun night.

Darby Cave

This last Saturday we went on a hike up to Darby Cave. We wanted to do one last hike before it got too cold and the weather was perfect on Saturday. On our hike we saw Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest. It was awesome! We saw a black bear about 20 feet ahead of us on the trail. I was in front so I spotted it first. I was a little freaked out. It looked at me then scampered off down the mountain. For a while after I kept seeing bears or stumps and rocks that looked like bears. On our way down I also saw a fox. It was running off with its bushy tail. It was harder for Devin to see it because it blended with the fall colors. The cave has a waterfall that flows underneath it, it was really neat. It was a gorgeous hike with the leaves turning colors and the weather was so nice.

Pumpkin Carving

For FHE we carved pumpkins with our friends Grant and Brianne. I love carving pumpkins.

Table Runners

I made two table runners last week. Here is my Halloween one and on the other side is Christmas. The second one I made is fall on one side and valentines on the other. They are really easy to make and they turned out really good. Sorry again for the pictures, they aren't the best.

Painting Project

I painted the inside of my bookshelf a blueish turquoise color and I thought it turned out pretty good. It adds a little color to this boring white bookshelf. Sorry they're not the best pictures we need a new still shot camera.

Labor Day Fun!

For Labor day we went boating. I did a barrel roll on the tube, which I've always wanted to do. The other video is Tyler and Kelsey, they got some good air. We had lots of fun.

Flower Garden

Our Neighbor has a really pretty flower garden. I thought I'd share it with you so I took some pictures.

CANADA eh!

Right after we got home from McCall, ID we left the next day for Canada. The pictures are out of order but on our way up we stayed a couple days at my Uncles lake house by echo lake and went hiking and boating. It was a blast, the water was warm just like bath water. Once we got to Canada we went horse riding, gopher shooting, went to the Cardston, Alberta temple, went to Waterton (which is the Canadian side of Glacier National Park) and we saw eight bear and four mountain goats, and we also visited Grandma Carols grave. We had a blast up there in Canada.

Hiking in Waterton

A momma and baby cub that we saw right off the road as soon as we came into the park, just eattin' berries. They were so close, it was awesome.
