Organized Garage

So this weekend turned out to be pretty good even though it started out really crappy. We were planning on going home to Basin, but we got over 20 inches of snow this week, and all roads in and out were closed until late Friday. So instead we decided to get busy, and by busy I mean we cleaned! Today we organized, de-cluttered and down-right cleaned out garage. Most of the time our garage is an absolute disaster, usually I can't even park in it, let alone try to get something done in it. So today we rearranged, reorganized, and even decluttered the house! And it feels amazing! I wish I had taken before pictures, but I didn't so instead, you only get to see the end result.

This is Robbie's wall, he got these flags a long time ago and just can't seem to part with them, so in the garage they go.
Here are the new cabinets, one is designated solely to my crafting supplies, another is solely golf, and the third is a lot of everything. The little one is truly a lifesaver, up until today one whole large shelf in my pantry was designated to liquor ( I know we're a bunch of lushes) however now that one is locked up and is now the liquor cabinet, so I got more room in my pantry. I am so excited!

Here is the other wall. I know three trash cans is a bit ridiculous, but one is for recycling, one is trash, and the other is compost! The box is my sisters dishwasher. When she gets her new kitchen cabinets in, we will be doing a complete renovation of her kitchen, watch for more info on that, as I am sure it will be interesting and so exciting!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We sure did even though it wasn't exactly what we had planned. It sure was productive!

Look what I did!!

So this weekend I got to do a little bit of crafting, which was great. However at one point I was ironing and I looked over and look what my little girl was doing. I think I just might have a future sewer in my house!Here she is playing with the thread!

Here is my baby playing with the scraps of fabric that she pulled off the table.

And here it is, look what I did! This is a christmas card holder, and it is so easy to make, and just cute as can be. I am making some for family, and can't wait for them all to use them come Christmas time.

Trick-or-Treat

Well here is Madison and a co-workers kids. We all showed up at another co-workers house at the same time, so it only seemed appropriate to take a picture of them all together.

Here is Miss Madison right after I got her dressed and her hair done, isn't she so adorable.

Here she is again. Thanks to my mom for making the costume for me. I had good intentions of doing it myself, but time just got away from me, and I just didn't get it done. So thanks grandma, it looks great!

Hugs all around

The other day we had the joy of watching Cousin Bailey while her mom and dad went to work for a bit! We had a great time, the girls always have a good time together, even if they are both just stealing each other's stuff the whole time! Anyway we were making them lunch and they both wanted to be in the kitchen, so i was trying to entertain them away from the action and this is the video that we got. They are both so dang cute!

Enjoy!!

Another First

Well this is a first that I am definitely not bragging about, but let's face it, it happens to every kid about this age at some point or another. The other night Madison was playing so intently. Needless to say she lost her balance and even though I was sitting right there, I couldn't stop it. She smacked the coffee table so hard! At first I thought she hit her nose and thought there would be blood everywhere, but when I picked her up she had a big old bump, and a little scrape next to her eye. I quickly rushed her into the kitchen and got a bag of ice to put on it. This little girl has some pain tolerance because once I was finished with the bag of ice, all she wanted to do was play with it, and didn't even seem to notice her eye anymore. Before she went to bed that night she had a huge bump, but this is what we found the next morning. Anyway, here is the evidence of her first Black eye!! Poor baby!

Here she is brushing her teeth, well at least trying to!
Here it is again, poor baby!!

Bailey and Madison Dancing

Aside from my living room looking like a disaster zone (thanks to the kids), this video is halarious. Bailey really gets into it, and Madison just mainly likes to spin around and laugh!

Vegas

Carrie and I went to Las Vegas for her 30th birthday and it was awesome. We did so much, rode the roller coaster at New York, New York, went to In and Out (was absolutely amazing, even if it was a pain in the butt to get to and from), went to the Thunder Down Under, halarious!, went to Mystere, a show by Cirque De Soleil, it was so amazing, gambled a little, and ate a ton of amazing food.

This was pretty much the theme of the trip, let's just say that the 24 ounze chelada's were cheap and cold!!
Carrie and I out in front of the Mirage, there was so much water, kind of amazing since it is in the Desert.

Carrie and I going to the Excalibur.

Carrie with her "Dick Stick" and one of the best Margarita's ever!
