From a full to a queen

We got a new bed last week....yay! This past year we have been sleeping on my old full size bed (or as David's brother called it our "friendly bed"). I had that bed for about eight years. It was great when I first got it, and when I was the only one sleeping in it. But for sure it had seen better days and the middle was starting to sink in a little. This new mattress is great though; but the first night I did have a hard time sleeping in it. I'm not really sure why, its a great bed.  Its getting better though. David is sleeping great he has told me several times that his back already feels much better. And he is snoring again, he snored like this when we first got married but I just got used to it. Good thing I still had some ear plugs-they work great! That's a good sign though it means he is sleeping well. It was definitely time for an upgrade. My second favorite thing about it is that we got to get a new comforter set and I must say its super cute. My favorite part was that we saved $150.00. Yay for savings! It was only supposed to be $100.00 but they did their math wrong. Is it bad that I knew and didn't tell them? OK picture time

Good bye old bed. I'll miss you, OK no I won't

They lay out a red carpet when they deliver it. Well they are delivering a Queen.

They even leave you mints on the bed. I thought it was cute.

We moved our furniture around the room - it feels so much bigger now.

I love this, its much more grown up than what we had before.

Of course the decorative pillows that we don't use.

Our BONAfide family!!

Have I ever mentioned that I love my family? Well I do. My dad's side of the family tries to get together for FHE/ snacks/ socializing, about once every other month. This has been a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember and seriously its one of my favorite traditions that we have. So we had a little get together yesterday and I decided to take my camera with me (since I'm so into blogging these days). Some of my cousins were not fans of this, but really I wasn't trying to take pictures to be annoying. I just want to capture the memories, because my blog is basically my journal. And I like to look back on it from time to time so that's why I take as many pictures as I do. I promise though I won't post any of the ugly pictures. As you will be able to tell from the pictures we have a pretty big family my dad has seven siblings and all but one of them have at least two kids. Plus the grand kids are all adults and most of us are married and quite a few have kids of their own now. And not everyone was even at this little shin-dig. Well like always here are some pictures enjoy.

Aren't they so cute

So this post is a little embarrassing, apparently I only have one reader. Thanks Mand for playing along with my silly little post love you. I guess its a good thing you left a comment with three questions, I'll just answer all of them.

Q: If you could change one thing what would it be?
A: Haha this answer is a little vain of me. I would change my body shape/size.Now I know that this is something I can change but when you say change I take it as you are meaning right away. I would like to be about an inch taller and I don't know like 40lbs lighter. Hey maybe I will change this (not the height part but the rest) yes I think I am going to work on it. Thanks Mandy you have made me want to change my life...well sort of.

Q: What is your biggest regret?
A: When I was about 12 years old (I think something like that) my dad took my sister and I on a vacation. We went to Moab, Jackson Hole, rafting down the Snake River and a few other places. The whole time on the trip I was a bratty teenager and didn't want to do anything. And now that I look back on it that was a pretty awesome trip and I would've had such a great time and made a lot more memories had I just been a good sport. Cause who knows when I'll be able to go on a trip like that again.


Q: If you could do anything with anyone what would it be?
A: I would love to be able to go to a session of General Conference. And not just watch it on t.v but actually be in the Conference Center in the audience. That would be such an awesome experience to be in the presence of the prophet his counselors and all the apostles, plus I'm sure the spirit is just overwhelming.

Take me out to the ball game

We took our cute niece and nephew to a Bee's game a few nights ago. It was so much fun and they loved it.  David and I were a little unsure of how the kids would act, how long we would be able to stay or if they would even have a good time. But they proved us wrong they were excellent we were able to stay the whole time and they seemed to really enjoy it. David taught Madison a few things about baseball, like how to read how fast the ball was being thrown and how to tell how many points each team had. Stockton got a little bored during the 3rd inning but Angry Birds game to the rescue and kept him entertained until we went and got treats. Stockton did the cutest thing though, when we stood up for the national anthem we told him to put his hand over his heart, he wasn't really sure what that meant so he folded his arms we got a good laugh out of that (so did the people behind us). Well here are some pictures of our fun adventure, enjoy!

Are you crying? There's no crying in baseball!

Making funny faces

This was the exciting part of the game. The bases were loaded and there was someone up at bat. Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be very exciting.

Question time

I'm going to try something I have never done before so bare with me. I want my readers (if I have any) to ask me a question. It can be anything you want. I will give it a week and next Saturday I will answer the questions in a new post. Have fun and ask away...

I Dreamed a Dream

Oh my goodness can I just say how excited I am for the movie of Les Miserables to come out this Christmas. I can honestly say I have never been so excited to see a movie. I having been walking around the house singing the songs all week (I think David is a little annoyed with that). Every time I watch the trailer I get chills this movie is going to be AH-MAZING.

If you haven't yet you need to watch the trailer it will blow your mind.

Craft time

This is my 4th of July wreath I made last year. The great thing about it was it was free (sort of). My sister gave me the wreath to use, plus she had a whole box of buttons that I used as my stars. Then we went over to my Grandma's and raided her collection of yarn that she's had forever. It was super easy to make and fun to do.

This is an iron on shirt I did it was also super easy and very inexpensive. The fun thing about the shirt is that it changes color in the sun...way cool if you ask me.

Viola the shirt is done

This is a preview of a project I'm working on now. I'm making it for my new little niece who will be here in October. So exciting I love babies.
