House Inspiration

This is a blog I subscribe to. I don't remember how I found it, but I love it. Her name is Haley and she has amazing style, is an amazing photographer, mom, decorator and pretty much everything else. Her kids are absolutly adorable especially her daughter Millie, I just think she is so beautiful for such a little girl. She also has an 8 yr old son and twins that are about 3 months 5 kids!!! That is just CRAZYNESS.

Anyways the reason I wanted to share about her is because there house has recently been put on the market and I WANT IT. I don't want it in it's current location of Provo UT, but move it to Bend and I am all over it. When I looked at the first few pictures of the outside I thought it wasn't anything special, it was built in 1966 so I thought it would be old and outdated. But she proved me wrong. Just like everything else about her it was amazing. As I continued to scroll through the pictures I fell in love with every room and every detail of there home (the kitchen could be a little bigger but it would work), from the colors on the walls to the furniture I just love it all.

I know I can't buy this house for myself but I can get inspiration and decorating ideas from it. My dream is to have an office/work space of my own like she has as well as a designated "play area" for all of the kids things. I know these things won't be possible in the current house we live in, but I will defiantly keep her post/pictures in my "house idea" folder for a later date.

Fun necklace

A few weeks ago we got together with the Andersons to watch some football. Ok well they guys watched football and Amber and I did a little craft blog hopping. We came across a super fun blog where fabric "bib necklaces" were shown. We both immediatly fell in love and decided we had to duplicate them. So we got together last week and each put one together. Here is how mine turned out. Pretty fun and different isn't it?

1st Birthday Bash

I can't believe I no longer have a baby, but a 1 year old toddler!

We had a great birthday weekend. My family came over Friday to help us get things ready for the big party on Saturday. Cade had so much fun playing with his cousins Jaxon and Jace, it was adorable to watch Jaxon and Cade get all hyper together. It was such a blessing to have the help of my mom, sister and dad. I thought I was super prepared and had everything organized but there was just so many last minute details I would have never been able to get it done without there help.

The party on Saturday went very smoothly. I was a little worried about there not being enough space in our backyard for everyone, but we all fit! Cade did amazing! Saturday morning he woke up with a runny nose but that didn't stop him from having a blast. He eat his cupcake, opened presents, played with all his guests and not once did he get fussy.
It was a great day! Cade was exhausted and once we put him to bed Tyler and I were able to go out with his family and watch the Beaver football game at Bostons. Cade was babysat by his greatgrandma. I'm sure not many babies have the opportunity to have there great grandparents be such a big part of there lives.

We are so blessed to have so many awesome friends here in Bend and such amazing family! Thank you everyone for making Cade's 1st birthday a memorable one.
Here are some pictures from the celebration
