I know this has nothing to do with furniture but, I just couldn't help myself...

I am in LOVE :)

I received these today from Katie Dudley, a photographer here in Utah. She did an amazing job! Tate was being quite a little stinker that day and thank goodness you would never even know it!

Thanks Katie!

~repaired~

Of course a woman CAN DO this - HA!!

For a couple of weeks now our dishwasher has been making this terrible crunching sound when the food disposal thing is running...

I thought the noise might possibly be a nut or seed or maybe even a small piece of hard plastic that had broken off of something. I gave it a bit to see if it would actually crunch and dissolve on it's own but, it didn't seem like that was going to happen.

So, after running the dishes through this morning and listening to that awful sound once again, I decided I had to see what was causing all that noise!

~it only took a couple of minutes to disassemble it -super easy!~

And this is what I found...a rusted screw!

I know it looks kind of GROSS but, I promise it really IS one :)
Problem SOLVED!

~hmmm~

We had a very fun and eventful day celebrating Pioneer Day (a Utah holiday). We spent the majority of the time at This is the Place partaking in their many activities for the kiddos...their favorites were the candy cannon and the pie eating contest!

We also ate dinner at Red Robin - YUM!

Finally, we ended the day by going to IKEA in search of a couch.

I have to say that I am not quite sure of that place...it seems to be a cross between a ZOO and a furniture AMUSEMENT PARK!!!!

My kiddos sure had fun jumping from couch to couch! YIKES :)

Anyway, I do know that I have never seen so many people carrying measuring tapes in one place before! And that it is WAY too modern for me...

I guess the search continues...

~Have a great evening~

~UH OH!~

This is what happened Monday night when the cable to our door broke!And this is what I am HOPING for....

My FAVORITE :)

Choosing one seems to be the hardest part!

Thank goodness our HOA's only requirements are:

1. It has to be a solid color.
2. It has to be an earth tone color.

Can we say I LOVE fireplaces????

Can we say I LOVE people who sell BEAUTIFUL fireplaces on KSL????

I am so excited I can't stand it...and yes, I am going to PAINT it.
When I said that to my neighbor today, she kind of looked at me like I had two heads!!! LOL!
Yes, it's very beautiful the way it is but...I paint EVERYTHING!
Sadly enough, before my mother in law passed away 7 years ago, she made me PROMISE to NEVER paint the GRAND PIANO my husband was inheriting and I said absolutely, I PROMISE :). Therefore, everything else is free game!
Now, I just have to figure out what color...
~Have a great night~
