Weekend +Family time= awesome

This weekend we had Wade's family come down and stay with us. We celebrated 4 birthdays with in 3 days! Frank's birthday was 3/11 and the triplets birthday was 3/13. 3/12 was my sister in law Cheryse's birthday as well (my side of the family) We enjoyed ice cream cake and board games. It was a wonderful time.


Oh yeah and I finished another piece of my bedroom set. here is the before

And here is the after... What do you think?

Lucky

I am a lucky gal. I have a wonderful Husband, wonderful family and wonderful friends. I tried to decorate for St. Patrick's day this year. I found all of these ideas in the blogging world. Here are 3 ideas I used but there are so many more out there. If you click on the link above you will see a post that has links to other blogs with ideas.

This one is inspired from here Lets be honest I am a novice crafter so the originals are better... however I did not go buy paper I used what I had around the house.

I really loved the classy version of this found here however I think mine turned out pretty cute.

And the final one can be printed free from here there isn't a great picture of it but it says "I'm not Irish but kiss me anyway"

Speaking of Lucky.... I got a new job with in my company. I am going to work with mentors and students to develop plans for graduation. I get to kinda create the position as a go along. It should be a fun adventure.

February catch up

Well February was a short month and I was not into blogging much. So here is a wrap up. The first day of February my Dad turned 64! Happy birthday to my Daddy! the second week I went to my bi annual meetings for work
here is my team.


During the conference I started to get really irritated eyes that looked like this
I had something really similar but not as severe after we got back from Prague. I figured it was just wind chapped after Prague but this was not comfortable so I went to the insta-care where the Dr said it looked like a chemical burn. Note to self never use the nutregena brand eye make up removers again.

The last day of my meetings is always graduation. I had 4 studentscome to graduation, by far the most fun part of the meetings and what brings me the most satisfaction in my job.

After graduation I got to shoot Grayson for his 4th birthday

The Saturday before Valentines we went out because I had to work on valentines day. We went to Corbins a steakhouse in Layton.. it was wonderful. Valentines it's self was fun. Wade and I ate a heart shaped meal inspired from this blogpost on ourbestbites. (love this cooking website) Mine was not so pretty however we had a good time.

Not the best picture but this was us after we went to dinner at Corbins.

After that I kinda got the crafty bug and began working on this bedroom set. I never really liked the color and this has been a lot less costly for me than buying a new set altogether. I finished the nightstand last week. I am working on the dresser right now and will post more later.

Which way should I have the drawers? What do you think? Does it look better?

Last Saturday I tamed Tom's head with a hair cut


And....Finally last Sunday we had a wonderful impromptu birthday for mr TRH. He turned 1 at the end of February. You may remember him from this shoot or this shoot when he was a newborn. I am so glad we all got together, it is always nice to have family around.

and here is Dex looking so cute and grown up! Speaking of being grown up... Ronelle and Steve grossing everyone out.. I love dexters face in the last picture...
