Just hanging out with my little brothers.

Today I was asked to hang out with Chase and Connor for a couple hours while my dad ran a couple of errands. We were up in American Fork, so we didn't want to come all the way down to Provo just to turn back around. We ended up spending two hours messing around at Target. We spent a lot of time going down all of the toy isles. Connor stopped at almost every toy to show either me or Scott, then he would put it back on the shelf.

Then Connor found a back pack, once he put it on, he didn't take it off the entire time. It was easy to get him to put down the toys, but I don't think we could have left the store without the back pack. He thought he looked pretty cool with the back pack, and he insisted on putting everytihng we were going to buy in it.

We then ventured over to the hats and sunglasses area. The boys had a fun time trying on hats and giving me hats to try on.

I turned around for one second and chase taps me on the back and says, "Ummm.... Amber. My tooth just fell out." Luckily Scott was with me and he took chase and got him a paper towel to stop the bleeding. Before the Tooth Came out...

And After...

The boys were starting to get tired of wandering around Target so we stopped in the book section and read a couple books.

It is a hard task to keep kids under control and entertained in one store for 2 hours. But I did it, and it was actually kind of fun.

I forget how easily I get frustrated.

I finally have the basement in livable conditions. I have a living room area, and I don't have a couch yet, so I figured why not pull out an old folding table and work a little on that quilt I started months ago. I forget how easily I get frustrated when I quilt. I make too many mistakes, and unpicking all of the stitches is a pain. I give up for now. I am don't want to unpick the stitches. But so far the quilt is looking pretty good. Check it out.

It is really bright and I am kinda proud of it. I never have really quilted a lot. I did a little bit when I lived with Matt and Lauren. So I have had to pretty much teach myself, Lauren did teach me a little about how to quilt. I can't wait to see what the finish product will look like. :)

Pay Day...

Today was pay day, so I decided to get a couple more things for my room. I wasn't sleeping very well so as a new year resolution I decided I wasn't going to use my computer while I was in bed. So for the last little bit I have sat on my floor while using my computer. It wasn't the most comfortable situation. So I bought a desk... YAY. It love it.

I also bought myself a night stand. I didn't have anywhere to put my alarm clock and so I figured might as well get a nightstand while I am at it. It looks pretty good.

I then decided I should hang up my painting. My room is finally looking like I am decorating it. It isn't so plain anymore. I don't think I have ever had my room actually decorated. So here is my painting actually up on my wall.

The living room is next. I am almost done painting it. I also am almost done dejunking the basement from when Jason lived down here. It will be a couple more pay checks before any real improvement is made, but I can't wait to get started.

Enough about my room... Last night I went to the Jeff Dunham show up in Salt Lake. It was really fun. I still can't believe how well he can do all the different voices without moving his lips. Here are some pictures!

Peanut, I couldn't really get a very good picture, he moves this puppet a lot.

Achmed the dead terrorist.

Bubba

and Walter... It really was a good show, and the opener was really good too.

My Very First Acrylic...

I'm not exactly pleased with it... but I think it looks okay for my first painting. Here are some pictures of the painting I did. I can't figure out how to make it go the other way, and it is pretty late, so I am not going to worry about it.

My Bed.

I don't have a lot of time before I have to leave, but I thought I would post a picture of the bed that I am so proud of...

The last couple days

Yesterday my new bedframe was finally delivered. I haven't ever had a bed frame. It looks really good. My room is really small, a little too small but I don't care it is the first piece of real furniture that I have actually owned. Last night was the first night that I got to sleep in my room downstairs. I can't wait to finish cleaning up the rest of the basement. I will make sure to post pictures with the progress. I wish I had taken before pictures so I could take after pictures as proof of improvement.
I have spent this whole weekend with my little brothers, Chase and Connor. They are quite the handful. It is exhausting running after kids all day, I don't know how mothers do it. I certainly don't think that I could handle it for longer than 3 days. People always say that when it is your own kids then it is different. I now have much more respect for all mothers.

My favorite conversation

I bet you could guess, it isn't the birds and the bees talk... Its the DTR. The most awkward, and the hardest conversation to get through. If you are having the DTR that means that at least one the people's feelings are involved. When feelings are involved everything gets messy. You don't want to hurt the other person, so you aren't going to be blunt. Plus you really have enjoyed hanging out. So... then what's next? Ummm... I just told you I have hanging out with you... isn't hanging out enough? I'm such a heart breaker, but I don't mean to be.The joys of going to BYU.
Then the second worse conversation of the night goes to the one where your Best Friend chooses her boyfriend over you... Another joy of BYU. I guess marriage always come first around here.
