Don't you wish you were my faux nephew?!?

So as many of you know, I spend a lot of time with Cole and Mase and I like to spoil them rotten (I am sure to Annie's dismay).  Well this year as I was perusing Target for Halloween decor for work, I ran across some awesome Halloween stuff I thought the boys would love so I decided to play "Great Pumpkin" to them.

I may have gone a little crazy but I just can't help myself.  I don't have any kidlets, nieces or nephews of my own so I kind of just adopted them and love to give them little toys and treats.  Mike is finally starting to learn how much joy this kind of stuff brings me and actually helped me wrap everything up last night.  Can't wait to drop it off to the boys tonight!  All that is missing is the balloons :)  Happy Halloween everyone!

Our first craft project.

Recently I discovered Pinterest and have loved being inspired by the vast array of photos and quotes on the website. I saw this project on one of my friend's boards and instantly fell in love with it.

Miguel and I have been looking for a piece of art to go above our bathtub in our master bath but nothing has ever struck our eye. I am a lover of quotes and am very sentimental so when I saw this I immediately wanted to do it with the song I walked down the aisle to. When I showed Mike he also loved it and he decided we could make it ourselves. Twenty minutes after I showed it to him he was designing it with our wedding song words and our wedding font and the next day we were out looking for canvas to modpodge it to. Here is a sample of it...

There are two more rows with 6 more canvases but this is the idea. I can't wait to see what it looks like in our bathroom and it will be a good reminder every day of what our love is and should always be. I will post pics of this and our newly decorated useless room when everything is finished! Loving that our house is FINALLY turning into a home. Happy weekend everyone and GOOOOO Utes!!!

DTSB is Fidelity...

My mom was nominated and interviewed for an "I am Fidelity" piece that gets seen companywide. Unfortunately, she works for a subsidiary Fidelity company so it couldn't be published on the Fidelity page but I am one proud daughter and wanted to share it. I am lucky to come from such great roots and personally think I have the best example a girl could ask for. Way to go DTSB!
