pretty snow.

What a beautiful snow day!

We got out and walked around in the woods a bit.

Makayla loved the snow too.

Especially eating it. :)

Even Uncle Grant joined in.

baby quilt

I worked on piecing the top of my baby quilt all afternoon. I love how it turned out! I'm going to bind it with the green polka dots as well as have that as the back. I'm also going to hand quilt it, if my grandma can teach me how to do that...

Our little nugget

As my sister calls it, our little baby nugget is on the way! Due in early June (June 9, as of now, which is Grant's birthday), our lives will forever change. We couldn't be more excited! Here's a bit of the progress...
Thursday I'll be 16 weeks! Can't wait to find out what we're having....

Our Home - Painted!

Here is the finished project (well, finished for now). Next steps... maybe some shutters, landscaping, painting the doors... we'll see!

Big snow flurries

We had some great big snow flurries yesterday. First it was rain, then sleet, then big snowflakes! It didn't stick around, but it was fun to watch it snow for awhile. It sure makes for a big sloppy mess on the roads, but that is winter around here!

One week until Thanksgiving!


P.S. The house is painted! Glad I got it done before the snow hit. I'll post pictures soon.

Our Fall Project

I'm thankful that the weather has been so nice this fall since we are painting the outside of our house! We got new siding and I decided to paint the house myself... and luckily others have helped. I'm getting to the end of the project. Here are some pictures to show the progression...

Summer nights

We like to just hang out on summer nights. It's nice to have a big yard to play in, hammock to relax in, and patio/patio set to sit on. The cats and dog give us entertainment, that's for sure. You never know what they are going to do next!

Gus loves to play with plastic buckets.

Tiny isn't quite so tiny anymore. :)

Jeremy was sitting on my lap in the hammock. When I got up, she stayed and sat there for awhile. The perfect photo opportunity!
