Nanananana-Nananana-BATMAN!!

Oh yes, Happy Halloween from the BATMAN! We had a great Halloween and Brayden was a total hoot in his batman outfit. Yes, he did stay in character when he was in the suit, jumping off of porches, flying from house to house, and showing off his sweet fighting moves...

We had our tradition of the family over for hot soup and salad, followed by yummy pumpkin cake. Which was fitting for the chilly, wet night.

Brayden made a haul with the candy and is already looking forward to next year!

Happy Halloween...

"Stay"Cation

Park City,Ut-We just got back from a fabulous stay-cation! Good family time, great weather, gorgeous setting and time to just relax. Brady had a work conference up in there so he booked us a little retreat for our fam. Complete with a massage for me :) much needed for the prego wifey. Brayden had a great time, swimming and staying for a "sleepover" in the Hotel. We stayed at the Canyon Resort, it was so pretty the leaves were vibrant and it actually felt like Fall up there. We enjoyed walking up and down Main Street looking in all the fun shops. Brady also took me to the St. Regis Hotel in Deer Valley......okay~STUNNING! The hotel is clear up on the mountain and you have to take a gondola to get there, or in Brayden words a roller coaster. This place is beautiful. Antiques, rich carpets and walpaper, dramatic draperies, yummy furniture, the lighting fixtures were a works of art, all of it was over the top. I of course had to snap a few pictures and they do not do them justice ~But if you have the opportunity to go and see this place it is a must! Brady is so thoughtful, he knew that I would just eat it up, lots of eye candy! Needless to say it was a fantastic time....and he even bought me a delicious carmeled apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, what more could a pregnant gal want?! :)

Thanks Babe...

Inspired.

Finally, Inspired. This is what I am thinking for the nursery. It is still a work in progress, but hopefully you get the idea. Most of you have heard of this site Polyvore, it is a fashion/design site that allows you to create "sets" or boards of your ideas and inspiration. It was really helpful to put all of my ideas together in one picture so that I could see the semi-finished product. They have anything and everything you can think of. But let me warn you, it is a total time waster!!! :) This reminded me of doing design boards, they were a lot of work but I do miss doing them. So the room is cleared and ready for paint! I will post the real pictures when "Project Nursery" is complete. Getting excited for our little guy!
P.S. the "G" is for Greyson...were pretty sure on the name!

It's A.......

B-O-Y! oh boy, oh boy!! We are so excited...Here is the first picture of the little guy. We found out this morning and I still cannot stop smiling :) I am thrilled that Brayden will have a little buddy. We told him that he would have a baby brother soon and right away he said, "I will take him on motorcycle rides with me, I will drive and he can sit on the back" (so Brayden...)

I have to admit that I have not been that motivated to do a nursery, I don't know why, that is just not like me. But NOW~I am back baby,

LET THE PLANNING BEGIN....

L'Hotel de Coop.

Yes. That is right the Hotel for our chickens is completed. It is everything I would dream of if I were a chicken. Individual "rooms", lovely arched windows, cedar shingles, lots of fresh air, and walnut hand-planed floors (which frankly, I am kinda jealous of )

They all seem to be loving there new home. They fly up on the roof, run up and down the ramp, just come and go as they please. Brayden likes that the chickens have there own "house" now too. He is so funny, he makes sure that the chick's have lots of food and water. Oh, and that they get played with everyday too.

They are sweet little things, when you go outside they all come running up to you as if they are saying "Hello, were so glad that you are home."

Such the life as a chicken....

One day this will go by our garden which I cannot wait for....

Guess we are all about the Urban Farmin'

Mirror.Mirror.

While I was leisurely browsing at one of my favorite consignment shops I stumbled upon this darling red frame, I had been thinking of some ideas for my hall bath mirror. Instead of getting an entire new mirror I thought it would be different to mount this right on top.
I know, call me crazy! I do and think of some strange things sometimes but it is fun to see something out of the ordinary...

So Not Martha...

So for most of you I know that you would be posting a picture of a beautiful finished baked goodie...Well my friends, this morning I attemped to make made from scratch cupcakes and this was the end result.

I thought it was pretty funny, in fact 15 min. into the baking process I carefully opened my oven door to check on these little sweeties and the next thing I knew my jaw dropped and I just laughed out loud! I could not believe my eyes, flat as pancakes!! And as I continued to watch the rest of the cupcakes they just kept falling in one by one....I have to admit, it made me laugh!

So~for the most part I can bake but this time.....It was SO NOT MARTHA!
