Our new little additions

About 2 weeks ago, an idea came to me to get a dog. Less than 48 hours we brought home 2 tiny toy poodles, Buster & Chloe. They have been an absolute delight and have us wrapped around their little paws. Chloe weighed in at 1 lb 10 oz at 8 weeks old

Buster was a little bit bigger at 1 lb 13 oz. We are estimating that they will be about 5 lbs when they are fully grown.

Exploring the backyard

Wishing Papa Motorcycle a Happy Birthday on their 2 month mark

Buster and Sophie are the best of friends. That is until she got too tired last night and said she never wanted to see our puppies again. We'll see how long that lasts. I'm guessing not much longer than a good nights sleep.

More projects for Stupid Saturday

Mini scrapbooks made with envelopes with pages that pull out

We used this one to hold a couple recipes, I thought it would make a great present at a bridal shower with some of the ingredients for the recipes.

I turned this one into a coupon book for Matt, well I didn't actually give it to him yet, and the jury is still out on whether he will get it or not.

These are a few of my favorite things.....

Soccer with Connor and family... Oh and Matt too......he's the one taking the picture :)

Besides the fact that the game was terrible, it was a very enjoyable evening!! But then again how can any night that starts with cheese fries from the Training Table be bad!

Super Saturday

Ok so I'm the Enrichment Leader in our ward, which causes me a lot of stress and anxiety, but I guess it's good for my character. Anyways we are having a Super Saturday activity in Sept and although it's still a ways away, I had to get my samples done to start displaying them. I finished them last night and thought I would share.

Fun and educational flip books to keep kids quiet at church (well at least attempt to keep them quiet)

Tote bags in 3 different sizes.
View of the inside (sort of) showing the pockets.

There are other projects we are doing, but this is what I have pictures of so far. I'm happy with the way they turned out and think they will be a big hit at the activity.

I'll admit that we've got a pretty full house with part of my family here, but there was room for David to sleep in a bed with his mom, but instead he insisted on sleeping on the floor in the hall.

"Real" Computer Room

When I asked Matt what color he wanted to paint our computer room, he suggested we use Real Salt Lake colors. We were talking to his mom (major background in interior design) and she said ewww that's tacky. Right then and there Matt decided that we were for sure doing Real colors.

We decided to use their home jersey as inspiration for our room.

We still have more work to do, but here are some pictures of the work in progress.

It took 3 coats of the red and lots of patience

Then the blue only needed 2 coats, thank goodness.

We bought some 3/4 inch strips of moulding that we painted yellow and will be putting three yellow strips through the middle of the blue stripe. So far I think it's coming together pretty good. The colors are definetely bold, but I think it's fun and Matt loves it!
