Dave's Birthday!

Dave had a great birthday. We did a delicious breakfast! Then went to PF Chang's for dinner and saw Tron. It was a fun day. We realized as we get older just getting a sitter and watching a movie without an 18 month old is the best present!

Christmas! Sorry its late!!

We had a great Christmas this year. Emmett kind of understood Christmas. He enjoyed opening presents! We were lucky enough to have Dave's family come to Arizona for the week. They all enjoyed the beautiful weather.On Christmas morning we were able to have our own Christmas morning for Emmett. He loved seeing the basketball hoop in the morning. 

We went to the Temple lights one night. Emmett was a bit mad he couldn't take the lights home with us.

Playing balloons with grandma.

Projects from the Year

Since moving into our house I have been busy doing some fun projects over the year. Dave never gets excited when I mention some of the ideas I have because it means he has more work to do. He is a great assistant! Check them out!

This is the laundry room/pantry. It was an eyesore.

I wanted to do a fun color to brighten the room. I took all the cabinet doors off to make it more open. Dave painted the picture behind the hooks(freehand). I don't mind having an artist as a husband.

Table

We actually got this table for Emmett's baby room but it was too big. It sat in the garage for the last year. I eventually found the perfect color and spot for it.

Hallway Closet

This is what you saw walking down the hallway..ugly. 

Much Better!

Master Bedroom

All the decorations I had were from around the house or found at garage sales! I did buy the L-brackets at Hobby Lobby.

Living Room

This is my favorite project yet! This room has been empty ever since we moved into the house. We finally found some furniture to fill the room. 

 Getting ready to hang the pictures.

 Dave and Nelson painting. Dave stayed up till 3 in the morning painting.

 LOVE IT!! We moved the dining room table into the room because we made a play room for Emmett. We then found the daybed at a garage sale, chair and coffee table at Good will. The picture frames I got at Michael's for 65% off! The prints were done at Costco at $8 for the biggest prints. They look amazing.

Silly Boy

Barbershop

I just laugh when people ask if we have given Emmett a haircut.This poor kid has had a haircut every month since he was 5 months old. Dave is becoming an expert.

 Don't mind the hairy back!
