29 things about me!

 I remember my cute friend doing a post on her birthday all about her, and I thought I would do the same.  In honor of my 29th birthday (wow that sounds kinda weird) I thought of 29 things about me, in no particular order. 

1. I don't really love socks and wish I could wear sandals all year long. 

2. I love love love candy and my family always knows they can count on me having some sort of treat at my house. 

3. Random rattling noises in my car drive me crazy and I can't rest until I find out what they are. 

4. I've had the same best friend friend for 26 years!

5. I love to talk on the phone, Brandon gives me a hard time because whenever I walk in the door I'm usually on my phone. 

6. I don't like seafood, tomatoes, mushrooms, hot stuff, and green apple candy!
7.  I'm a pretty go with the flow kinda gal, I don't get too worked up over very many things. 

8. I'm not a germ-a-phob and don't mind if we all share drinks or eat of off the same utensil.

9. I wish I was more of a clean freak, but I just don't have it in me:)

16. I never have nightmares and I remember most of my dreams when I wake up. 

17. I have been to New York and Washington DC for the day. 

18. I would love to be a host on Good Things Utah.

28. I want one more baby, if I can convince Brandon:)

29. I am a night owl and like to stay up late and sleep-in in the morning.

 There you have it a little about me:-)

Fall

So I wasn't too excited for it too get cold and become fall. I would rather have it be 90 and hot than 40 and freezing. But since I have absolutely no control over it, I figured I might as well accept the fact.  At least I have a gorgeous yard to enjoy the awesome fall colors.  I can't say it enough that I love experiencing all of the wonderful things about our yard.  Every season adds to the love I have for it.  Even though now our yard is completely covered in leaves:) 

I have so many more things to post about, the fun things we have been doing, Brynn sitting up, and rocking back and forth on her hands and knees, our first egg from our chickens, and the remodel. But my camera went MIA so it might be awhile.  The remodel is going well, I picked out my carpet today yay, the painters are almost completely done (I love it) and the counter tops are coming on Friday.  Not too much longer, now I just have to pick out lights. I'm having a hard time anyone have any suggestions? I will try and post pictures soon!

The Basement...

We have been remodeling for about six months now and I guess it's probably time to put up some pictures of our living arrangements. It's not too shabby, but I'll be honest I'm getting a little sick of our one bedroom apartment down here. Oh and did I mention I don't have a DISHWASHER!!!

Here is our kitchen, it is really nice and actually has quite a bit of storage. The basement was finished about 8 years ago and was done really nice so all we did was clean the carpets and paint. But really I might be willing to pay people to come clean my dishes, or do some favors, really anything. If you ever come over you are pretty much guaranteed to see dirty dishes in the sink.

So my camera sucks and I need a new one (all of you photographer friends no judging please) But this is the another view of the kitchen from the living room area. The lovely green pool table aka kitchen table, is where we like to eat or put junk whatever happens at the time! And those cabinets you see act as my pantry, its pretty snazzy!

This is our living room area. It's quite nice, you can watch a movie from pretty much anywhere in the basement. If Bennett wakes up too early I put in a movie and go back to bed and I'm only 15 feet away from him. I actually will miss that when we move back upstairs.

Turn the corner and here is our bedroom. Yep that's right folks our bedroom is in plain sight of everything else. Oh and this is how it looks most the time (minus the husband sleeping on the bed) Dirty laundry, crap piled up places and bed unmade. That's how I role these days. Do you see all of those doors, most of them are nice big closets. I don't think I could have made it down here without them! Oh and Brynn sleeps in her pack 'n' play right next to the bed. One big happy family:)

This is Kambri and Bennett's room. It was meant to be a game room so there are two entrances, one right when you walk down the stairs and the other on the other side of the basement. And it doesn't have any windows so it gets really dark and Bennett will normally sleep in, bonus! They are doing a lot better at sharing a room than I thought. I think Bennett will have a hard time having his own room when we move upstairs. We finally took the front off of Bennett's crib and turned it into a toddler bed. I was scared to do it, but he is doing awesome at staying in his bed at night. When he gets in trouble I put him on his bed and he will sit there and yell, "I want to get out" It's hilarious because he has the mentality still that he is still stuck in there, too funny!

Here is the kid's closet. It is a total mess (try fitting three kid's crap into one closet) But I do love the shelves and drawers. I love how all of the closets are made and this is how we are doing them upstairs.

There you have it, our life in the basement! Total chaos, mess, not organized, and usually stuff everywhere. One day my life will get back to normal!

Oh Baby!

How cute is this? These all all of the precious babies that were born in our family this year. Dash is Brock and Betsy's baby, Charlotte is Danielle and Nathaniel's, Brynn is our angel, and Royce is BriAnne and Court's. They were all delivered by Dr Bierer (whom we absolutely love) and this is the card Bri sent him. How much fun are they going to have when they get older. Oh boy I think we will have our hands full:)
