last week

We had a little party at my parents house for Dan's b-day (he didn't want to be in the picture) my cake kind of fell over a bit from the juice that drizzled down from the raspberries on top

my mom & I took the girls to Gardner village (we'd never been)

I love gardner village! It is the cutest quaintest little place ever! We could not walk out of there without getting something.

the girls loved all of the Halloween witches they had up

my favorite place was a sewing store called pine needles, they have the cutest fabrics & patterns. I got a really cute apron pattern & a quilt pattern that is a Harry Potter theme.

we tried fried green tomatoes too (they were really good!)

Idaho trip

What I love about Idaho:

*cheese curds
*chocolate milk & ice cream from Reed's dairy
*my brother-in-law, Jeff's farm
*the peace & quiet
*everybody is so laid back
*the potatoes (we had our fill over the weekend)
*hanging out with Dan's family
*it's an easy road trip away
*feeding the ducks on the Greenbelt
*the Idaho Falls temple

We spent the weekend in Idaho with Dan's fam. We went to our nephew's baptism. We came back with a piano, a bed, a dresser, an awesome quilting/craft table, & tons of homegrown vegetables from my in-laws (we've been eating corn every night!). Thanks everyone for all the hand-me-down furniture! Now my living room actually looks like a living room instead of a toy explosion (if you've been to my house, you know). The piano needs to be re-finished & tuned, but I love it & I love all my new stuff from Ikea! Doesn't that Ficus look fake, it was only $20 at Ikea (have I mentioned how much I love that store?) & I'm going to make little pillows for the chairs (I'm really into sewing right now, especially pillows!). I also plan to get a bookcase & 2 more of those chairs (in the adult sizes).

Labor Day Weekend

Busy weekend here, but fun! Friday I had lunch with my old roommate, Brittanie, who was in town & is getting married soon. Then we had a little BBQ at my parents house. Saturday we all went to the BYU game. It was the first time we took the girls & they loved it, they had a blast! We went to the alumni pre-party thing & the girls got their faces painted, won some prizes & watched the cheerleaders perform. Then we walked over to the game with my parents. Sunday we went to my niece's baby blessing (I forgot to take my camera!) & had a little family brunch with Dan's fam. Today we just lounged around since it was raining & relaxed.
