Before & After

This is what the walls in my living room looked like BEFORE!
This what the mess looked like after I took off the border

We decided to texture the walls, since there wasn't any. This was the hard working sexy man part way.This is what the texture looked like after it was painted. This is how the accent wall turned out. I have mixed feelings about it, so I would appreciate some thoughts on it. It was "joint" decision on the color.

This is what my walls look like up against my new beautiful couches! Its just a dark off white/tan. So much better than the red and the green border.

Izzy's Birthday

Sadly for mommy, Izzy's birthday was this weekend, she is no longer my baby
Grandma & Grandpa Carwash and Aunt Katie came for the big day! Grandma Carwash made her this night gown and Izzy was more than happy to model it!
Grandma & Papa gave her "fake" make up, which turned out not to be fake. Izzy was showing us her beautiful lipstick. (Don't you like Jared in the background playing with the doll! Well he was really taking all the packaging off, but it looks like he is playing.)

Grandma & Papa came for the big day, and brought along cousin Brooklyn and of course Snoopie & Angel.

I had a lady in my ward make her a cake and it was possibly the cutest cake ever. I didn't want to cut into it. She even made a dress up high heel out of chocolate for it as well. The pictures do not give it justice. It was amazing!

You're All Invited to .....................

A Birthday Party for Izzy!!!! She will be turning 3 On Saturday November 22. Let me know if anybody wants to come, and we can arrange the time then. We are flexible on the time, so just let me know.

And for all you Twilight fans, some of us will be going to Pocatello on the Friday night to go, so if anybody wants to come feel free!!

Wall Paper Sucks!!!

I just want to say Wall Paper sucks!!! Ding Dong the christmas border is gone! Everyone thought it looked like christmas holly with the red walls. On Thursday I took some time and took the ugly wall paper border out of my living room and dining room. I borrowed a steamer and it came right up, I only had to work about an hour. But the mess was after, it was all over the floor, and the little gooey pieces got tracked all over my house. I'm so glad its gone, but still wall paper sucks.

Halloween Part 4

Okay so I promise this will be my last post about Halloween.

The Living Center (nursing home) here does a little activity on halloween. They had a few games for the kids to play and win prizes and then they had all the residents lined up in their wheel chairs handing out candy. There is no other way to put it than it was just soo cute. Yet is was a very tearful experience for me. All I could think of while we were there was my cute little Grandma Veda. Unfortunately she spent the rest of her time here on earth in a living center like this one. But she loved Halloween, and she would have loved that activity. I remember growing up, all the way through high school she just had to see our costumes and see us dressed up and would usually give us a full size candy bar.

One little lady kept telling tyler she had a secret for him and then would kiss him. And then Izzy felt jealous ran right up to the lady giving her a hug and wanted her kisses. This too reminded me of my Grandma because she was always kissing us.

This little lady was all dressed up with face paint and all. I felt a little guilty at not being dressed up for my kids.

This lady was so funy, and she had this witch hat on and had a little stuffed witch in her lap. She smiled for me so I could take her picture, and then when I got done, she said "don't you take my picture." It was really funny.We were very gratful to these people and their willingness to try and give the children a great halloween.

Halloween Part 3

Here were the kids' costumes this year. Pretty Darn cute if I do say so myself.



Tyler was a Fighter Jet Pilot. And obviously Izzy was a Skunk. And she was the hit of the party wherever we went. Not to many skunks out there trick or treating. People kept asking her if she was stinky, and she would curl her nose up in confusion and then tell them yes. One guy at trunk or treat asked her if she was going to lift her tail and spray him, and so she did. She turned around and lifted her tail. It was so funny.




We had to wait in line to get into trunk or treat for about 45 minutes. At one point Izzy got sick of standing there and walked over to a tree and sat down. From a far it looked almost real. Then everyone in the line slowly started to see and everyone was laughing. It was way too cute and way too funny!! Too bad I haven't gotten used to my new camera and the picture if blury.



Tyler said that this is the face the Fighter Jet Pilot's make.

Halloween Part 2

Here in Soda the city does a trunk or treat. Well they provide the spot and any local business can participate in the trunk or treat, in a contest for best decorated trunk. So Bear River Chiropractic did a booth (trunk).

Halloween Part 1

We had about a billion different activities over the week of Halloween, so I'm going to split it up into separate parts.

Our real estate agent here in Soda, provides a pumpkin patch for everyone at a local park. She fills it with pumkins, and then serves Hot Dogs and chili, and Hot chocolate. And it was all free. So we all came home with full bellies and pumpkins.

So for Family home evening we all carved pumpkins and entered them in the City of Soda Springs pumking carving contest. And 2 of them won!!! Of course Jared actually did all of the carving but the rest of us took the credit!

Cami Look alike

So for those of you that know my baby sister Cami, will understand this post. I have been having a ton of fun with Izzy's hair lately. The other day I did this cool pattern on her head and then made the back of it curly and poofy. After it was done I was shocked at to how much she looked like Cami. And not just because of the Big Hair!! Ha Ha Cam, love ya anyway. I would post a picture of Cami to go with it, but all those pictures are on the computer that crashed.

Where to start...

Let's see I'm about 10 posts behind since the breakage of my camera. As I said before my camera died one day. Well since I have a determined husband who is usually pretty good at fixing anything he touches, he decided he was going to try and fix my camera. Well it was unfixable, but was in about 100 pieces on the work bench. Ironically enough I would have loved to take a picture of the camera in all those pieces.

I don't know where to start. First I'll start with pictures of our new office. We did a bit of redecorating in our office, and I am quite proud of it. We only redid the front waiting room and

reception area, and then decluttered the rest of the office.

Jared bought these fishing baskets as file/patient folders holder. So that when he's with a patient the receptionist takes the next patient back and puts their file in it. It goes with the whole Bear River theme.

This is just one of the treatment rooms. The rooms in this office are very large. There is Jared's office, 2 treatment rooms, 2 massage therapy rooms, and an X-Ray suite. All in all we have a lot of square feet and a lot of space. As you can see from the one picture there are borders in a few of the rooms. Those will be coming down as soon as possible and a new coat of paint over the rest of the office.
