Photo of the Day - A Game

This was just too perfect for today's picture. We are big BYU fans and went to the basketball game tonight. We loved watching our Cougars beat Pacific tonight!

Near the end of the game. 

Here we are cheering on the boys in blue!

Photo of the Day - Laugh

Laugh was actually the challenge for yesterday but I loved this picture. The boys think they are pretty funny. One thing they love to do is put on their Daddy's shoes and show him they are wearing them. Of course he makes a big deal so it is even more fun for them. This was the Small One this morning:

Photo of the Day - Making

We've been "making" a few things around here lately so I'll share two. Here is the finished wreath that I showed the start of the other day. My inspiration came from here and I am pretty happy with how it turned out, especially after how it started a year ago. One project done and another in progress!

 Remember the project I showed the plans of on my computer? So excited to have it going up on the wall! The Smart One is so good about my projects. True it takes some convincing to get him on board, but he is wonderful about making them come alive. This morning the Small One kept saying, "You and Daddy made these?" as he looked at the progress we made even after the boys went to bed last night. Sanding, caulking and painting are still left on the check list. 

We also made these lovelies for dessert tonight. They were fantastic!

Photo of the Day - On My Plate

Of course I thought I should take a picture of my Loaded Baked Potato Soup with toss salad and baking powder biscuits but then I ate most of it and it didn't look as good or at least presentation worthy. :) So here is what is on my craft plate, of course another project.

This is a Valentine wreath I started last year that started to look like poo so I stopped and it sat in my basement in a bag until last week. I am doing a redo and just finished wrapping the wreath with yarn. So far so good. 

Photo of the Day - Black and White

I've missed several days, but I am dealing with it. I had a sinus infection and I was trying to get things back to normal including myself this week. I am hoping this is it for my sinuses. :) Well here is my black and white pic, not technically black but it is Dark Chocolate hot cocoa.

We were outside for awhile and the boys were playing with some of the neighbor kids. At one point I told the Small One his hands looked cold. He looked at me and then at his hands and kept going. They eventually did get cold and we came in to warm up before making dinner. Good times.

Photo of the Day - a building

This should have been an easy one because there are so many buildings I love and have seen. I could share millions of pictures of ones I love. But as I was driving through the old part of my city I came across this great house. I am guessing early 1900's as to when it was built. I wonder if it is on the historic register and has a date. I'll have to check it out. The design is so intriguing to me, I would love to go in it and know the stories that house could tell. There are some great details in it as well, the stained glass windows, the chimney shape and balcony railing are my favorites. I couldn't do the house justice with just one photo so here are two.

The house sits on a corner which makes the shape and orientation so perfect. The front door is on the right.

Cool brick work for the chimney and interesting balcony railing.

Photo of the Day - artwork

Friday night we had a movie night here at home and the boys made some decorations for the event. As you can see there are some favorite characters around here.
