Halloweenie

Halloween is here!! Its just my favorite holiday ever. I'm really cheap and have collected my decor over the years by buying them on clearance after that Holiday is over. Or I simply go to the thrift store and repaint and make cuter. here are some of my crafties :)

made the Boo block with scrap wood from my garage, paint, scrapbook stickers and ribbon

 Pumpkins were spray painted with added ribbon

got this cat and pumpkin at the thrift store with weird faces on them. So i sanded and repainted and Added some Ribbon

you see these cute banners all over bloggs. they are usually made out of fabric but i have little patience and little money. So these are made out of scrapbook paper. I have been so obsessed with them because they are so cute and easy that I made one for my classroom and work and one for a Tuesday night activity for young women's this Tuesday, don't you just love them?

This is very late but i decided to post some fourth of july pictures. My Aunt and Uncle came in from Rhode Island to stay with my family for a little while. Most of these pictures are taken at my Granfathers Farm house in Woodville.

A family from chris's mission whom he became close with was in town, their Daughter Joanna actually just got off her mission from here. They came over for dinner, and I just love them! they are such a great family, Im glad I was able to finally meet them after hearing all of Chris's mission stories. Joanna is coming to Rexburg in January to come to school. Im excited to get to know her better!

Well, its been awhile! Its been a great summer! I felt like a crazy lady the first month of summer, I was the camp director and the YW president, now camp is over i feel like I can breath :) I will slowly post little by little my summer, first off, Cody, Chris cuzin got married june 3 in Rire, Idaho. It was Beautifull, Dani the bride was absolutley GORGEOUS! loved her hair and dress :)

Meet Jasper

we added a new member to the family!! He is a full bread yorkie, and his name is jasper. We got him for free and he fits soo well with us! except the cat ofcourse, now she has 2 dogs to gang up on her and she is not happy about that. Him and Roxy are going to be best friends and grow old together!

adventure time!

These are what i call adventure sandals. we exchanged valentines gifts today , i was too excited to give spouse his. I got him a gift card to Sportsmans, a shirt and some candy. And i got these ultra amazing adventure sandals! This summer we are going to do lots of camp and hiking and taking adventures in Idaho, so i said i needed some adventure shoes, which would be comfy, airy and pink of course. SOOO here they are! super excited, i wore them all night cant wait till summer to wear them while camping or walking around jackson or yellowstone. they will only be adventure sandals as i will still be in love with my strappy stylish colorful ones along with the ever so amazing old navy classic flops.

I shoulda been a cowboy

For most people who know me you know how bad i want to be a cowgirl. i grew up in the city on the ocean in Rhode Island. My Mom, Dad, Sisters, and pets all packed up one day sold the house and moved to Idaho. I thought Mom and Dad hated me for making me live in such a place. It has now almost been 5 years and i love love love everything about it! i never want to leave this place. the scenery is amazing and breathtaking, i love the country and the people. I do not like anything about the city anymore, i grew up such a city girl but i wish i grew up in 4-h and was a Rodeo Queen. Our kids are going to grow up to be Cowgirls and boys I'm gunna make em! I still love shopping and makeup and doing my hair, occasionally some gangsta rap but I also love guns the mountains and country music.


This is where I grew up. Providence Rhode Island

This is where i want to spend the rest of my life. Grand Teton National Park

This is what I want to be!!

wear them all the time with every outfit. pure love

The Fashion Issue.

Soo, I think i looked stunning today...well i wouldn't go that far, I'm sure my spouse would tho. Anyway, i decided to document my CHEAP MODEST CUTE outfit! yaya! p.s. this is my kitchen and i thought the color would be a perfect backdrop...don't mind the missing trim, we ran out...


jeans-Walmart clearance $5-7
Shirt- Walmart about $12
sweater- wetseal $13
undershirt- Down East Basics about $10

a closer look!
Necklace- $5 Down East Basics
Ring- Avon about $5
Earrings- Claires about $7



There you go, fun, modest, and cheap! I'm a big walmart shopper and I'm not afraid to say I shop there for clothes, they are always cheap and some are way cute!! when I was a teen I was always embarrassed to have anything from walmart, and now I think WHY?! Once I got married i have started to wear walmart clothes...not because I'm frumpy which obviously you can tell I'm not, but because its nice on our wallets and im not scared of what others may think. Don't get me wrong I like to shop at the mall when there is a good deal, but I always turn to walmart. most of my clothes come from Walmart, Target, Oldnavy, Ross, or Down East Basics(my absolute fav store everrrr)

a long week of vetables.

ode to spouse.

So my Lovley spouse has started a food blog right hea....dadada...
http://thechrisinreallife.blogspot.com/ he wants to be healthy again. apparently he got very UNhealthy when he got married, its always the wifes fault right? well anyway, he has been reading other health blogs and they are pretty cool. one down fall to this whole thing is he has been force feeding me vegtables!! yes hes forcing me! well not really but i like to make an attempt at being dramatic. he has been doing a wonderfull job! he has been making healthy meals packed full with vegies and going to the gym. He has lost 5 pounds woot woot! i want to help him and we can be healthy and live long long lives together( if he wants me that long) my down fall is I HATE vegtables unless you have tons of butter salt and a deep fryer ill eat them. and im kinda addicted to sugar, when i say kinda im lieing i love anything with sugar...maybe if i pour sugar on my veggies ill eat them ehh ehh? so im trying to cut back on sugar, sad face. and my new years resolution has been to stop drinking the pop and its been a month! yupp im on a roll im pretty amazing. here are some pictures on our road to healthyness



so these are some tricks that I love. thank you sams club! im addicted to vitamin water deeelishh. and these are cute little things are carrotts and apples in their own individual packages, im all about grabbing, opening and eating. not so much, cutting chopping, cooking. so these are perfect for an easy snack and they are only $2.50 at Sams Club.

this is what i brought to daycare today for lunch and snacks..healthy right? i just didnt take a picture of the blueberry beagle at ate for lunch and the chocolate chip cookies i had a work...the kids made me eat them! that cute little pink contianer is something amazing called greek yogurt! love that stuff its like ice cream! its sooo delish. the bad thing is its like $1 and other yogurt is .30-.50 so thats usually a treat.

this is a enchaladad, let me correct myself, a vegitarian enchalada, no meat you say? thats the same thing i thought! this thign is packed full of evry vegtable ever imaginable. my spouse did a great job trying to sneak in those green things. good thing there was cheese.

my hands were real cold and dinner was hot.

this is what you call an angry wife eating vegtables for the first time.

Mountianeering and modeling

Model? yes?

a mountianeering on top of the mountian!

doesnt he look like a anglic little baby? AHA

Saturday Chris decided to shovel for some exercise instead of pulling out the handy-dandy magical snow blower. me and the dog decided to join in on the fun and i pretended to be a mountaineer (yes there is alot of snow!) and pretended to be a photographer, if ONLY i had a million dollar camera...sad face. here are pictures of my pretend day.

we had coupons for 1 dollar Jamba! how could we ever pass that up? it was funny, i was sitting on the bed and chris brought me my purse and we were searching searching for 2 dollars in change sad right? but it was soo delishious! YUM

Chris is from Idaho Falls and Alys, from far far away, Rhode Island! snookie hair and all :) we like guns. Chris likes to Hunt and Fish, Alys like to Scrapbook, be girly. and wishes she was a cowgirl, the best thing she does is being a pain to her spouse.
