Crib and a little bit of Italy!

So, we begin the bittersweet journey of trying to get Taegan to sleep in her crib. It will be so sad to not have her right next to me. But... it will be nice to not wake up to every tiny sound she makes, haha. And today our journey began with her actually taking a nap in her crib. She usually just wakes up and cries when we set her in there. It took a while but eventually she slept for an hour :)
Documentation.

Ignore the clothes that are strewn about. She loves her mobile (Thanks aunt Kayla!) and her super cute sheets and crib! (thank you Hill sisters and Rae and Anthony!)
It was a fun day.

We also decided to spice up our bathroom a little bit. We choose to go with an Italian theme, because who wouldn't want to take a tiny trip to Italy while on the pot?! Am I right?!

Here are the pictures (up close). Shane took these while on his mission.

I am also proud to announce that I used one of the crates I bought forever ago! TA-DA!!!

(oh my! so rustic right??)

I made it all fancy and everything!

Next time I will update about Taegan's blessing day :) it was so wonderful, but all the pictures are on the other camera, haha.

Bye from our tiny family!

Okay bye!

White Wall Woes are over!

Thanks to my friend Katie, my woes are over! She sent me THIS link.
I'm already mulling over color ideas, and patterns to do this. Maybe just one wall in a few rooms, behind the counter like the girl on the blog did. This is going to be a really cool experiment!
Also Jaime and I are going to make a party of it! Do it at both of our houses haha. Anyways, just wanted to  update onto this good news!
Tell me what you think about this!
bye!

Peppers, Crafts, Windows, and Fishies

Hello all.

I was able to get a picture of my cardiscarf!
A sly sly cardigan is hidden in that scarf!

Also I want to tell you about Valentines Day! Shane and I woke up and decided to skip class for the day. So we slept more and woke up and made crepes. It was so fun any yummy :D. Then we made our way over to Petsmart to buy our fishies! We now own 1 frog (febby) and 3 fish (jorge, mulder, and scully). We had our other frog die and our snail. But life moves on right? Haha. Then after work we went out to Le Nonne (a very nice Italian Restaurant!) It was such a fun and nice day!
Then my birthday was on Wednesday! Shane was so nice and got me lots of cute stuff! I wanted an old window from an antique store that I can fix up and make a cool craft idea I had, along with sandpaper, paint all that stuff in order to fix it up. He got me a very vintage wire bodice coat hanger! It sounds weird but its way cute haha! See!

We are going to plan our future home decor around this beauty!
I am so lucky to have Shaney. He is so cute and patient and so so so funny! I love him :)
Then after a long day of FUN, I chose to go to Firehouse Pizza for dinner, and when Shane and I walked in I was greeted to my SURPRISE party!!!! WOO! I've never had a surprise party in my entire life!!! It was so fun! Jaime, Peter, Andrea, Tina, Nicole, Megan and Chels were there! So we ate delicious pizza, cake and fazookies! Sooooo yummy! See! Shane's the best :) it was a fun fun birthday. Now I'm officially 20 years old!

As far as crafting goes, I'm proud to announce that I am getting very far along in a lot of my crafts! First, my window! Under the old old paint, there was this weird layer of plastic type stuff. It makes it hard for the paint to stay on the corners of the windows, but I've done all I can do. It'll end up looking good :)

My beard pillow plan is coming along nicely :). It takes a long time to make each "hair" but its coming along and soon I will start working on the girl's hair (my hair). Next step after that, sewing them onto pillow cases!

The other night Jaime and Peter came over and we made dinner for them! They usually make it for us (they are so nice haha poor guys) so it was fun to have them over! We made Stuffed Green Peppers!

I'm pretty sure everyone liked them :D, except Shane. He took a couple bites of "not quite cooked all the way" beef, and I didnt tell him of its status. So he had a tummy ache for a while. BUT he got better! :D

Thanks to Shane's friend Branigan, we have discovered more good music! The Tallest Man on Earth! Its pretty cool :) I like his voice live more however. So if you want click here and listen to one of my favorites.

Well I'm off to watch Jurassic Park with Shaney :)

Birfdays and Crafffts!

CHEERS! 

I have yet to figure out how to rotate pictures, but its okay. 

This is our friend Jorge with Shane at Smiths about a year ago. This is in honor of his BIRTHDAY!!!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON TUESDAY JORGE!

We are throwing a birthday party for him and Nicole on Monday (they share a birthday :))

So hopefully we will have pictures of that!

Today at work we are going to have a "Birthday Party" for all the Kindergartners! An all around b-day party! So when my Soils class is over (I'm currently in this class :) hehe) I'm going home and making mini cupcakes for all the children! (supplies for mini cupcakes, thank you mandy!)

I will take pictures of that too... I hope. haha

ALSOO!!!! 

I have sketches of (and some supplies) for some grand crafts!

First, I'm making 2 pillowcases that have a beard and girl hair form made out of yarn! 

It will be something like this, pretty close. haha.

Then my next craft is hair do-eys! I have detailed sketches of these all over in all my notebooks since November! I'm so stoked! So I will start working on those, seeing how the will come together! WOO!

I also have a new goal to take more pictures, cause pictures are fun :).

Well I'm off, I might listen to my lecture, or I might shop online to find ideas for Shane's birthday present. We'll see! haha!
