projects

So, I always feel like I am working on a million projects, but have nothing to show for it. (which is really annoying when I want to do the project again, but can't remember how I did it). Lately I've been trying to take pictures as I finish. Here are some I've done in the last few months....

These are scripture bags Shalie and I made for the young women in our ward. I thought they turned out really cute and now want one for myself... of course it will probably be froever before that happens... way down on the list.

These are wall hangings I painted for Danna for her little girls room. (it was fun to do a cute girl project since I have a boy). I can't take credit for the design though, she had a photo of what she wanted and I mostly copied it. The best part about this was that she took family pictures for us in return. Yeah!!! Anyone else want a sweet trade? :)

So I have to admit that I am slightly addicted to refinishing old furniture. It always comes out so rewarding in the end. This one was by far the MOST WORK! But, it payed off. I spent a good part of this fall sanding and sanding and sanding and finally refinishing this old dresser we inherited from my parents. I stained it to match Davids bed so they look like a 'set'. I bought new hardware too and I LOVE how it turned out. No pre-project picture to compare it to of course.

Here Comes Santa Claus

Dave got to see Santa a couple times this week. First at the mall, and then at a Primary Christmas party. What did he ask for? A treat. He was a little bit shy at first (we havn't talked alot about Santa), but they were friends by the end! (Also, I think David is just so cute in his coat and hat, so I had to add a pic.)

Snow Day!

Jason experienced his first Medical School snow day this past week. Yeah! We've decided snow days are just as exciting now as when we were kids. There really was a wicked storm, check out our car. (Thanks J for digging us out!) Dave thought it was so fun and kept bringing me his boots all day- he NEEDED to walk in the snow.

David's cars

So David may not be able to say his ABCs, but he can name ALL of his cars. (this is only about half of them). Jason is so proud.

Gobble Gobble

Just a little something to get everyone excited for Thanksgiving! We started out coloring pictures of turkeys for thaksgiving, but David and Ashtyn had a better idea. Ha ha! I think these two are hillarious.

David's Frog

We found a frog on our front porch the other day. At first Dave didn't want to touch it, but after a while he was begging to bring the frog inside. What a boy! Sorry Dave, new rule... NO frogs in the house!

Boo! or should I say ROAR!

Halloween was Great! David was the cutest lion you've ever seen. (I was just glad I got his costume made in time). We went to a halloween party with friends, went trick-or-treating on beggars night, and to a Trunk-or-treat on halloween. So I think we fully enjoyed the holiday. David was an expert at saying "Trick or Treat", he even practiced several times between each car. Sooooo cute!
