Real Salt Lake

Yesterday we FINALLY went to a Real Salt Lake Soccer game!! It was so much fun! We brought Brittany and Devin with us and had a blast! To add to the excitement for Brittany and I we played against David Beckham! hahah! It was fun to try and get a picture of him :)

Its about 9:00pm here..she wasnt going to smile for me, hah!

David Beckham in the middle, number 23 :) "The closest you will EVER get 

to him" said Chad to Britt and me ;)

Chad with the Real Salt Lake Scarf I bought him! He was SO excited!

Can't you tell? haha! No, this picture was taken at the end..we lost...I was trying

to get him to smile so I could take a pic of him with his new scarf, it was a hard task

at the moment :)

We were glad we went and got out with our friends and did something!

Our House Exterior

They painted our house!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohoo! It looks so good :) They have also finished putting all the stone up; the only thing left on our exterior are the garage doors (and the are really cute too!). It was SO nice to finally have some progress on our house after 2 weeks of nothing! They have also put all of the light fixtures up inside, the carpet is in the garage, and Friday the cabinets go in!!!!
Here are some pictures of the front!

Father's Day

I am so grateful for the wonderful Fathers in my life, especially Chad! He is the most amazing Dad to our little Lucy!

A Simple gift for Dad, Lucy's footprints!

Lucy wasn't very cooperative during the photo-shoot, kinda grumpy actually...

This year we spent the weekend in Idaho, all of my siblings but one brother were there! It was so much fun! We spent the time fishing, eating, talking, shooting, eating, talking, face painting, playing games.. haha! :) I Love spending time with family!

 All the kids lined up with Dad. This was a game he played when he was little and loved;

find the money in the hay! :)

 At David and Cheri's new house with  the Gibbons cousins :)

 Lucy SUPER excited to play soccer! hahaha!

 David and Cheri have this amazing door on their shop/garage, I could NOT 

resist taking a few photos by it ;)

Love my Family! So grateful for the wonderful men in my life! 

Happy Father's Day!

Patio Design Board

We can not wait until we move into our home and have our OWN back yard!!!!!!! We are already dreaming and making plans for our landscaping and patio :) Here are our patio ideas:

Chad already made me an outdoor sectional out of pallets! ..That we got for FREE!! Hehehe! :) 

 Sorry about that horrid shadow and all the ugliness in the background....

Now I need to make some seat cushions for them!! And buy these cute pillows at Home Depot that I have had my eye on for awhile (hoping for a sale...!)

We also have some left over pallets, so my most wonderful Hubby is going to make me a coffee table like this one I found on Pinterest! ..of course ;)

 Isn't so cute!! I want to paint mine white too!

We also want to build a brick or stone patio in our backyard and the Chad is going to build a cool Pergola to enclose the area!

 I also want to hang some curtains on it so its pretty and fresh looking like this:

And to finish it off we are going to get a firepit to put in the corner; I'm really diggin' this one from Kmart, and it's fairly priced! 

Well, there is my design board for our patio! :) I cant wait to have it all done in just a few months!!!!

Some Crafts

Here are a few of the crafts I have been doing:

Kitchen Rugs:
I painted our kitchen rugs! They were just too dark for me :)

Before:

After:

Lucy peaking over at me :) I feel like our kitchen in so much brighter now! Especially with the new wall collage I made......

Wall Collage:

I did two: one a few  months ago for our bedroom and one recently on the wall between the kitchen/family room area.

Bedroom:

 I love Lucy's hands! The top left frame is filled with copies of Lucy's hands..I just did that in our printers copier

Kitchen:

I made this for Chad for Christmas

I made this, I just printed off a new one though...all the empty white space at the bottom is bugging me... :)

Ladder:

I have really been wanting an old barn-wood ladder for awhile. However I haven't been able to find one at a reasonable price! So Chad made me one! It doesn't quite look "old" but I still really like it. I stained it with a water/vinegar/steel-wool mixture. 

And Lastly...I got a Silhouette for Christmas!!!! Its this fun crafting machine that looks like a printer but instead of a print cartridge there is a blade. It cuts vinyl, fabric, paper, stencils...etc. I also have colored markers/pens that I can replace the blade with. Its pretty amazing :) ..and I really still dont know how to use it! But I did my first project (with several failed attempts). Chad and I have had this wedding photo up since we got married, the bottom was just blank before, waiting for some vinyl. 

I did learn my lesson with intricate fonts.....I will probably never do it again!!! ;)

Spring!

We went out  and took some pictures of our  little Angel at the orchard..the same place we took our fall family pictures :) It was so pretty and our timing was perfect!

We Love this little girl so much!!
