Last week, Dad and Nate finished putting up our new fence. Now we have an ENCLOSED and SAFE area for the boys to play. If you ever saw our backyard at our old house you will know how excited I am about this! It has helped out a lot with the puppy as well. Thanks for all your help again dad! We couldn't have done it without you!
I also painted my very first wall yesterday. I almost started tearing up as I was doing it. During all these years of renting Nate and I have always said, "Won't it be nice to paint a wall whatever color we want to one day?" The boys were all asleep and Nate was at work until really late so it was totally quiet in the house and as I painted the wall I felt overwhelmed with gratitude and thanks for all that we have been blessed with.
I have also been busy with my new found hobby...knitting baby hats. It is SO easy and fun and pretty much mindless. I have decided I am going to earn my YW recognition award along with my beehives. Hopefully if I do it along side them, I can encourage them to earn theirs. I really want the new pendant too...it's WAY better looking then the old gold one! Anyway, I am making the hats for one of my projects.
We also had lots of fun on Saturday going up to Horseshoe Bend and hopping on the Pumpkin Liner Express. The boys loved going on the train and picking a pumpkin. It was cold but we had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle J.
Anyway...that is why I haven't blogged in awhile! I can't wait for Halloween tomorrow! It's one of my favorite holidays!

I love that you painted a wall. The color looks great. I want to paint a wall also but I am chicken. All of my walls are a tan color. Someday I will follow your example a be brave. I think earning you YW medallion is awesome. I wish I had in Spokane because I am not sure when I'll get the oppurtinity again. Have fun with knitting. I think you are a domestic goddess. I want to be like you when I grow up.
Riiiiight. I'm about the furthest thing from it!! I have only made ONE yep thats right ONE loaf of bread in my entire life.! I can't be classified as a domestic goddess if I can't even make bread! haha! Thanks though. And..I was scared to paint too but it really wasn't that bad. I didn't even wait around for Nate to help. I figured its just paint and if I messed it up too bad...it can always be painted again..right??
you can definitely be domestic without making bread... isn't it you that makes those delish homemade eclairs. yum.
I totally feel you when it comes to painting.. and I am tearing up right now because my walls are still white... oh, I can't wait for the day. Your fireplace looks great!
I love how the color of the wall brings out the tile surround and makes the mantle piece more of an accent. It looks GREAT! Hooray for a fence that encloses dogs and children. Eclairs? I would love to have that recipe! Happy Halloween!
