A few happenings of late...

This beauty has been my project since we moved to Washington. It was formerly spray painted black with navy colored vinyl seats. For two months I sanded and sanded. I broke the sander. Then after getting it fixed, I finished up sanding, stained it, and varnished the heck out of it.  We replaced the vinyl with a light brown vinyl that has embossed squares in it.  It was a huge project. It looks beautiful! It is almost as pretty at the flowers on the table that Tad brought home from Seattle for me. Whoot Whoot. 

Tad's work does these really fun traditions for families.  This one was a pumpkin patch run. We are all in the back of a truck with straw bails heading out to the pumpkin patch.  After we all got great pumpkins we ate chili together. What a fun event!  


Having fun at Grandma Elaine's house! 

Luke trying on Grandpa's helicopter shell thingy. Funny boy. 

We went on the weekend before Halloween which allotted us with some fun Halloween celebrations. This monkey is adorable in every way! 

The mini-trains of Chiloquin. Got to love a mini-train ride.



We got invited to a pumpkin carving party. Tad and I really love pumpkin carving, but this year I just didn't get to finish mine. I helped both of the boys and Tad made this creation. PS if you don't know its a Lego head. It was cute. 

We got to watch Uncle Landon wrestle on the internet, which inspired some wrestling of our own.  I love these little men. 
Do you ever look at someones blog and say, "Oh sad, no one posted a comment."  Well that is what I say every time I look at my blog:) So I apologize if I leave weird comment with poor grammar on your blog. I just feel too bad to leave the No Comment sign on.

I'm so happy you put some more pictures up. That table is sooo beautiful. You're way more ambitious than I could ever be. Good job. Also, just love those wrestlers and the little monkey. Thanks for posting.

Your table turned out gorgeous. Way to go! Those projects are a little daunting, but the reward sure is sweet! That train ride looks hilarious. Hope you guys are doing well in Washington.

Nice job on the table! I wish I had the motivation to do something like that with my kitchen table. And squish those cute Baker boys for me!!

Wow! You are definitely an ambitious girl. I wish I could say you got some of it from me, but nope. I'm just a lazy slug, but I am so impressed with all you do and the table is gorgeous.
