Redecorating

Friends invite each other over to their houses. My husband and I have lived in our house for over a year, now I'm not saying we haven't invited friends over in that time. We've had tons of people, even a few parties in that time. What I'm saying is that we've had people over and our living looks like we just moved it.

See?

Doesn't it look like we just moved in yesterday? Not July of 2011?

I told my wonderful hubby that enough is enough. We have a beautiful red wall in our dining room and we've put little accents of red throughout the rest of the downstairs. Red vases on our bookshelves, red tea towels in the kitchen, black and red painting in the hallway... you get the point.

Well, we hoped on the freeway drove down to our local IKEA and bought a few things. We put everything together, ok Brian put everything together, and look how great it is now?
Red Rug-GISLEV, Red Pillows-GRANAT, Bus Photo-VILSHULT

Please ignore the curled rug, like I said, we came home and put it all together then I just got so excited I had to take a picture for you. Everything there we bought at IKEA except for the super cute pillow in the corner. I made that.

Now next time you come over you wonder why we haven't unpacked the rest of the living room yet.

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...
