Latest Pictures!

Pictures of our Home, though I like to think of it as a cottage. The pictures don't do it justice, cause unless you saw the original (Don't you think Meagan?). We've done a lot of work on it, and we're trying to keep a budget of around $5,000, and I'll think we'll do it!
Below: Here's the view from the front. We are keeping this the same, except for maybe trimming/chopping down the humongous evergreen trees (good spider trees!)

BELOW:Here's the shower that WE tiled. I'm so proud of us! We changed out the 3 layers of linoleum flooring, and the original tub, and fixtures.
Below: The kitchen. We kept the same cabinets, changing the backsplash (again, our tiling skills!) countertop, floor, fridge, stove. Notice the cotton eyelet curtains (I've always wanted these) thanks to Ryan's sister, Michelle!


This picture is a mess, but it will be the living room, you can see the hole to the left of the door that we cut out and put a bar in. We also changed the carpet, and did some pergo. A little improvement from the yellow/green/orange shag carpet! And I can't forget the flat screen t.v. that Ryan snuck in on me while I wasn't paying attention.
Here's Hadlee's favorite place in the home, a bookshelf that Ryan had made last year. Notice the bright red wall behind, that's right a barn red room, and it's darn tootin' cute.

Below: Ryan's sister, Michelle, surprised us and made these cute curtains for Hadlee's room, they have farm animals on them, w/ red gingham trim!
HALLOWEEN PICTURES!!!
We were in Boise for State x-country, and Hadlee got to go trick or treating w/ her dad and cousins. Below: L to R Skyler (Buzz) and Devon Howard(vampire), Kiana Cornelison (Sharpay, don't ask me who she is!), Hadlee (Minnie), Gabe Howard (skeleton)
Below: Hadlee and her cousin Esme Howard went for a while in the stroller, until they figured out that they could go faster if they ran from house to house! They also figured out that they were so cute that at each home they could take as much candy as they grab with both hands!
Below: Ryan and our Minnie. She kept those ears on all night!


Here's more pictures of you got it... HADLEE!

Above/Below: Hadlee couldn't get enough home-grown corn this fall!
Below: Hadlee is learning how to give kisses, here she is kissing her cousin, Elias.
Below: One of Hadlee's favorite games in September/October was playing in her car (box), and we'd take trips to the grocery store. She knows how to hold on tight!
