Drum Roll Please....

Here's the finished product as promised! Thanks to Michael's for the Halloween extras. You would think that they would have a lot of decorations for Halloween out but the only had half an aisle. There was more Christmas stuff out than Halloween. I was disappointed...but I still got the job done.

I think it turned out cute! I told Tyler I want to have/make a wreath for every month/holiday of the year. The only two months I could think of that don't have major holidays in them are April (unless Easter falls in April, which next year it doesn't) and September, unless I'm missing one. Here's what we came up with:

January: New Years

February: Valentine's Day

March: St. Patrick's Day/Easter

April: Sometimes Easter...otherwise just a Spring Wreath

May: Mother's Day

June: Father's Day

July: 4th of July/24th of July

August: Back to School (not really a holiday I know but it works)

September: Nothing...but I'm thinking a Fall Wreath w/ leaves would work

October: Halloween (check!)

November: Thanksgiving (next project)

December: Christmas (also check!)

 

Did I miss one or do you have any ideas for wreaths?

Another attempt at being crafty...

Alright I have a confession to make...it's Halloween month and I have ZERO decorations, now Christmas I am VERY well prepared. I have a WHOLE Rubbermaid container dedicated to Christmas...but Halloween...nothing. So to alleviate this problem I decided I would make a Halloween wreath for my door. I chose to make one of those Tulle Wreaths that are all over Pinterest. It was easy, but rather tedious. Between cutting the tulle and then tying it around the form, I got bored and had to enlist Tyler to help me. Anyway, it's still a work in progress, it needs some Halloween embellishments like ghosts/pumpkins/witches etc. but here's how it looks so far. I think it's way cute already! I'm quite proud...

I'll try to remember to post the finished product! What do you think so far?

Random Happenings

I haven't done an update on our lives for a while...especially with photos, so here you are photos of what we've been up to the last little while.

Photos from my Birthday that I said I would post MONTHS ago (my B-day was in July...)

Elephants! Two adults and a baby. So cute!

 Tyler sittin' in a log.

Both of us sittin' in a log...aww...

Chillin' on the back of a Seal.

Over Labor Day we went up to my family's cabin in the Uintas. It was a good time. All of my family was there.

Braylee ready for a 4-wheeler ride!

Dain got his fingers pinched...he's not too happy about it either.

Hunter climbing the woodpile

Tyler's having a wonderful time...can ya tell?

Braylee likes to climb stairs.

Dain is happy now. My parents, Addy, and Shaunee in the background.

I don't know why Hunter decided to lay down on the porch...

Now Dain's ready for another ride!

Over the summer we got some shelves from Tyler's mom that she wasn't using anymore. When we got them they were plain wood...not even sanded or anything. There are 2 of them and this is the one we have finished so far. When we finish them both I plan to have a Before and After post featuring these wonderful shelves, but here's the Sneak Peek!

 

Since it's Fall and the leaves are changing nicely we decided to go for a drive up to the Bear Lake Overlook. I took some pictures to document.

Aren't we just the cutest! ;)

Anyway, that's about all that we've been up to. We have fun.
