Too excited not to share...

One of the designs I made for my fam's etsy shop was featured on the Etsy Storque today (along w/other cool wedding stuff)!!! I seriously am SO excited that I had to share it! (I mean, I can only tell Jonny so many times). Go here if you want to see the full article. This is the design they featured.

Our Christmas!

We had tons of fun for Christmas this year! We were spoiled cause we got to see both sides of the family this year. Easton was in Heaven! Jonny's fam came up a few days before Christmas and then I took Easton and Donovan to my parents house after Christmas (Jonny had to work). I forgot to take pics at my mom's house, but here are some from Christmas Day at our house. Jonny's fam opens presents on Christmas Eve and since they were w/us, we did it their way.


Here is Easton opening his first present on Christmas Eve. He was so funny opening presents. He was just ripping open every present in sight...it didn't matter who it was to.


Donovan opening his first present...kind of.

Christmas jammies!

Christmas Cards!

So my family has an etsy shop. I don't remember if I've ever blogged about it before. But it's http://www.deanworks.etsy.com/. It's kind of a compilation of a bunch of people in my family's work. They sell journals and custom photo cards. In case any of you are looking for some last minute Christmas cards (not really last minute if you're me. more like 'right on time' haha), you should check it out! I've been helping out w/them and it's been a lot of fun! My brother Preston did a blog post about it here if you want to check it out! But since you all are my friends, if you mention that you saw it on this blog, you can get your cards for $10 instead of $15! Just send an email to theperfectoccasion@deanworks.org and they'll set up a custom listing just for you!

This is one of my favs!

Halloween

Easton is very into dinosaurs right now and his cousin had this cute costume that my mom made a few years ago, so we decided to use it and get Donovan a dinosaur to match.

This is Easton roaring like a dinosaur.


My two little dinos.


Our fam.

Donovan.

Tori (my niece), Donovan, Easton, and Cody (my nephew)

I just had to get a pic of his little tail. I thought it was so cute!

Pumkins and a Hair Cut!

With the swine flu going around, why not let your 3 year old ride the toy in WalMart?? But seriously, this was probably the best 50 cents we have ever spent. He LOVED it!

Last week, we decided to go to the pumkin patch. Too bad it was dark when we got there and too bad our camera died after we'd only been there 5 minutes. We still had fun, though.

And then last night we took the one pumkin we got from the pumkin patch and the other three we got from WalMart over to my brother Gary's house and carved pumkins w/them and Brandon and Jennie.

Donovan had fun even if he didn't get to help carve pumkins. He's always happy when food around! (No, that's not pumkins all over his face. Just peaches.)

Brandon make YUMMY Halloween cupcakes!

Tara is so good w/Easton and he ADORES her! She helped him carve out his own custom Easton design.

His was by far my favorite of all the pumkins!

Jonny is definitely the artist in our family...and such a perfectionist. He went w/the Boise State Bronco for his design.

Mine is the cat (as per Easton's request), Easton's, Donovan's (which my sis in law Jennie was kind enough to make), and Jonny's Bronco.

And then today I FINALLY took Easton in for a haircut...his first one done by someone who actually knows what they're doing. I took him to Monkey Dooz cause I thought that was my best bet to get him to actually sit threw it cause they have the cars for them to sit in. They had two options. A grey manly hummer and this...

A pink and purple barbie-style jeep. Obviously, he had to have it! (Notice his expression. He wasn't super excited to be getting his hair cut, but he took it like a man!)

And the end result! I hardly recognize him!

I did a faux hawk and told him his hair was like a dinosaur. That made his day.

It's been far too long...

I am finally updating my blog. Since it's been a couple months, you'd think we'd have tons going on, but not really. We've just been enjoying the fall w/o having to worry about Jonny going to school! Hope you enjoy the pics!


Donovan is 6 months old today! I can't believe it! He's gotten so big. He can sit up by himself and is eating solid foods. He has two teeth, which I'm not super excited about. But he is just so happy and we can't imagine our family w/o him! My sis took some family pics of us last weekend and here's a couple of him. She's still editing them, so I'll post those later. (Disclaimer: I edited these on my own, so don't judge them too harshly! Brit is WAY better!)

We were at my parents house a little while ago and Easton found this kitty and was pretty excited about it.

He was also lucky enough to get a tracker ride off of one of the guys in Rockland. I know his face doesn't show it, but he LOVED it!

We've taken a few trips lately and Easton is pretty good at traveling.

Donovan before he started eating solids. He didn't like them too much at first, but has really started to enjoy them the last few days.

Love them!

Donovan loved his first swing ride!

And Easton still loves it!

Easton got to go to work w/daddy a few weeks ago and was in Heaven! Probably one of the best days of his life!
