push-up, plank, or poop?

Lately every time Jack needs to poop,he does this:

Obsessed...

It's official. I have a new obsession. Call me a collector, you would be right. I have fallen in love with vintage Pyrex. It comes in a variety of colors, but I simply LOVE the aqua and white combination, and don't even get me started on the awesome vintage designs. And, the best part is, you can find it at most estate sales (I bought one of these bowls yesterday at a garage sale for 50 cents). LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Some of my past obsessions include:

Antique Insulators





& Antique Jars

Are you sensing a theme? Apparently I am drawn to the color teal. Someday our house will be filled with displays of my collections, oh and as much wainscoting as our walls allow.

Second Generation Wingmen

A few weeks ago, Danny and Laura were in town with their adorable new baby girl Marianna. Danny and Trent have been friends since their freshman year at BYU, actually there is a whole huge group of guys that are still very close who met during their freshman year. These guys actually played intramural basketball every year together and their team name was always "The Mighty Wingmen". As time has passed, more and more of the wingmen have graduated and moved away, but now the second generation of wingmen has begun...

Chi Cotaq

Over the summer while we were living in San Diego Trent joined a soccer league in Santee with our cousin-in-law Randy and our brother-in-law Matt. Of course with their mad soccer skills they dominated the other teams and won the tournament. The team was named Chi Cotaq (to poop in some Guatemalan language, super awesome right?).

Matt, Randy & Trent after the final game!

face-lift

Trent's brother Pierce is engaged, have I mentioned that before? Anyways, he will be married in October to the most adorable girl ever, Amelia. We could not be happier for them. I decided I wanted to make a gift for them, yes, I am weird like that. I decided to give some furniture a face-lift, which is perhaps my favorite craft of them all.
