Car Seat Fun

Here is a little video montage of Wells in his car seat lip syncing and laughing.  He's really been into lip syncing a lot lately.  I don't have the slightest idea where he get's it from (wink wink)(pointing finger at me)  :)

I know the video is really small.  Guess you'll just have to pull out your magnifying glass if you want to see it.

DI Finds and Room Re-do's

As most of you know, we've moved.  We've been so blessed to find a great house that seems to fit our needs perfectly.  But along with a new house we need new decorations and new paint on the walls right?  right??  Well now that we have a mortgage to pay it's not like I can go shop at Pottery Barn. (not that I ever have in the past).  So I went shopping to my good ol' fall back store.  The DI! (aka Deseret Industries)  Here are some of the things I found...


An ugly serving try that has great potential for only  $1.50...  And here it is after a little TLC.



Here is another great little decorative plate for $1.50.  With a little spray paint who knew it could look as good as new?




While at the DI I found this awesome little glass jar.  I think it was $2.00.  I had it just sitting in our kitchen waiting for the right thing to come along to put in it.  After about a week I was sick of it sitting there so I decided to put our laundry detergent in it.  We buy the huge box of Tide from Costco and the big ugly box doesn't fit in our laundry room cupboards so I thought I would just fill up this jar.  I still don't know if this is a perfect fit for the jar but if you have any suggestions please let me know :)

Last but not least our new home has two bedrooms that looked like this...




I think they are so cute... but just not for me...  So after lot's of hard work, long hours and three coats of paint this is what they look like now...



(excuse the mess at the bottom of this picture and the blue tape still on the wall.  We are not quite done with this room yet )

Moving is a lot of work and a lot of money to furnish and paint everything.  But maybe in a month or so I'll think it's all worth it.  :)
