Weekend Getaway





















This last weekend Matt, Ryan and I went and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast in Challis with some of Matts family. It was this old victorian house with hot pools and a place where you could hang out and play games or go fishing. We had such a good time I would love to go back.
These pics are of our room, the kitchen and game place, that is the cook standing in the kitchen. Ryan playing with the kids (Jenson)is his babysitter he loves her to death so it was nice that he had entertainment, the people were so welcoming it was like being at home.

TROUBLE with the Law!!!!

OK, so I have gone 27 years without a ticket and trust me I'm always running late, therefore always speeding. Luck I guess, well that was until I braved going to Walmart and on the way back I was multi-tasking like most moms, chicken nuggets in one hand and trying to get to T.V to work with the other. Not even paying attention to how fast I was going I zoom right passed A cop. He said I was going 70 in a 55 which is good because I know at one point I was surely going faster than that. Anyway $75.00 later and you think I would have learned my lesson. Apparently not, Wed. night is adult dance class night and thank god I wasn't wearing fishnets and heals. We drove Matts farm truck that I can barely reach the peddle in and the steering wheel is a lot touchier than my Tahoe, So I'm not very good at driving it. After dance class we decided to grab a bite to eat and in the middle of Blue Lakes the tail gate opens and something falls out. So, I had to brave traffic and retrieve this greasy old handyman jack, funny right, yeah we thought so too. After that we were outside Kimberly when Matt called to see where we were at, in trying to find my phone I swerved a little. Not knowing that the car following us was a cop I said to Brandy I'm going to get pulled over before we make it home. About that time his light flipped on and I think he expected to find some drunk behind the wheel. Instead he found us laughing so hard when he came to the window asking if I had had anything to drink. Me, i'm trying to save myself another ticket and Brandy is begging him to give me a sobriety test just so she can capture it on camera. After convincing the cop that I had not been drinking and that it was my husband fault for making me drive his farm truck, he went back to run my licence. Luckily a guy I went to school with was on dispatch and told him not to give me a ticket. Thank God!!!!! Because 2 tickets in one week would not have been a good thing.

Thank god I'm a country boy!!!!

Caught in the act..... I swear it doesn't matter if we are in the house, he will still go outside to pee just like Matt does. When you live on a farm its really very normal to do this. However this has almost put us in jail before-on our honeymoon never the less. We were in Cancun and Matt thought it would be ok to do this down by the beach at like 2 in the morning. Well let's just say we had to pay off the cops so that we didn't go to jail that night. Yeah talk about scared to death. Ryan is still small enough that it's cute and it helped potty train him so he can pee wherever he like.

Let's go fly a kite






We went to Costco the other day with my parents and Ryan saw this spiderman kite that apparently he couldn't live without. So of course grandma and grandpa bought it for him and the second we got home he got to try it out. I was affraid it was going to fly off with him, the thing is bigger than he is. He had fun with it and papa loves to do these things with him. So I guess it was worth having.

Balloon Animals




We went to dinner @ Outback with Matts family one night and there's this guys who makes balloon animals, that was amazing. Ashley wanted a Kitty and Ryan couldn't decided between A dinosaur or a Monkey so he made him a dino-monkey it was incredible. It looked so real- worth paying for thats for sure and they kept the kids entertained all dinner.

Two lil Monkeys Jumpin on the Bed...

IT SOLD!!! YEAH

So the house I recently staged sold yesterday,that was quick. It has been on the market for a while so I'm excited. That means I must have done my job. I'm decorating another home next week and I can't wait, interior design is what I love. If anyone needs help with their house let me know, even if it's just changing around a room that has been the same for 10 years. You would be amazed at what a little paint and new accessories can do for a room. Also I am one of the best bargain shoppers ever so it won't cost you much, if anything. Eventually I want to start a business but for now a couple homes here and there are perfect. After all I quit my job to be a mom and I haven't even had another child yet.

Indoor Egg Hunt






Thats Getting Creative MOM

I don't know how many of you are like me and have so many projects and things you think you need to get done in a day that sometimes we forget to interact with our children or child. So these are some of things I've done recently that made me feel more like a mom than a maid.
I bought these decorative eggs for my house and Ryan would not stop playing with them. So I had this great idea to have an Easter egg hunt in the house. It turned out to be so much fun. After all, I can only play Batman and Spiderman for so long. OH, FOR THE LOVE OF BOYS. Anyway Ryan loved it and it was a good way to burn some energy. Then I don't know why but yesterday Ryan and I got out these colored cotton balls and Mr. Potato Head parts, I had from a Halloween project @ Jana's house. I decided to get out my crock pots and utinsils and we made pretend stew out of them, then acted like we were eating it. Hey it was a way to keep a 3 year old entertained. So anyway if you need some good indoor ideas these were entertaining thats for sure.

Some Changes I have made for Spring....

So of course you know I have changed my house for spring. Well at least some of my house its not quite done yet. But I've posted some pictures for you to look at. I changed the rest of my home to, so check out the slide of my house if you want. I can't wait till this snow crap goes away so we can actually enjoy Spring Time. I'm sure the rest of the moms out there are just as excited to be able to let the kids go out and play as I am.

*Spring is in the Air*
