November Recap

I will tell you what, this no camera thing is getting kind of rough! :)  We are going to get one for Christmas though, and after that we hopefully won't have anymore blurry pictures!

We haven't been up to too much this month so far, just hanging out!  We did have Spa night about a week and a half ago!  That was fun and Ellie got a little more into it this time!  And Clint was super nice to watch our nephew Ben for us while the girls went upstairs to pamper!  Unfortunately he was the only guy this year, so he got the babysitting job!  Thanks babe!

 Isn't she the cutest?!

Clint also was able to spend a whole Saturday working on the up and coming Book Shelf!!!!  If any of you don't know, I've been after him for MONTHS to get it done!  Now all he has left to do is sand and stain!  Yahoo!  We might have it before Christmas!

If you ask me, it's going to be the best book shelf ever!  It really looks so neat and it is perfect size for what we want.  And he carved our names on the bottom, so someday if it's handed down to our grandkids they will say "Hey, my grandpa made this!"  :)

Then on Veterans Day Ellie and I went and did some shopping at the mall.  Really just window shopping, nothing special.  But she was soooo nice for me while I spent a LONG time walking around Quilted Bear, so I decided to buy her a pretzel.  She loved it!

And Ellie's hair is long enough to put it into pigtails in the back!  Can I tell you how much I LOVE this???  I think it is the cutest little hairstyle for little girls!  And now my cute little girl gets to have them!

I love this little girl so much!

Other than that we've just been up to the norm!  Tomorrow night we will start making Thanksgiving Treats to take with us to Pie Night on Wednesday night.  Let the Holiday festivities begin!



Wedding Magazine Ad

I was presented with a pretty cool opportunity this week. I was asked to create an ad for our DJ company that will be printed in a wedding magazine. I quickly accepted the challenge. Then I found out I had about 24 hours to design the ad and turn it in before the magazine needed it to run their next print. I have never made an ad that will be seen by thousands of people in a magazine before. I started on it but was having trouble making an ad that would be appealing to the brides. So I enlisted Nikita's help and she had some great ideas. She helped me make some major changes to the ad and I think it will now be appealing to the brides we are targeting. Below is the magazine ad. I think it turned out pretty well. Clint.

Costumes and Cuteness

So as promised, I downloaded the pictures from my phone so that you can see our Halloween Costumes!  I only have pictures of Ellie and Clint though and they were after we got home so Ellie was a little tired!  My costume was just a black and white polka-dot piece of fabric pinned on like a dress, but Clint and Ellie's were actual costumes.  Pretty cute!

Then as mentioned before, Ellie and I have been home with a cold bug.  This is what we've been up to...

 Watching Movies...like Despicable Me...Ellie LOVES that movie!  Everytime we watch it she's glued!  As you can see!

 Singing along to Enchanted

 Sitting on whatever perch we can find

 Playing on Mom's makeshift bed.  We both needed the warm mist humidifier, so I blew up an air mattress and slept in her room with her.  Then I could also be there if she woke up not able to breathe or something.

 Mmmm, cough drops!

 Even though it's been busy and I haven't been able to rest as much as I would like, my role as a Mom comes first and I have LOVED being able to stay home and spend time with this cute girl.  I love her so much and I'm so blessed to have her in my life!  And I'm so lucky to have a great husband that does everything around the house so that I can try to get better.  He does such a good job taking care of his sick girls!

Up To Date

Sorry I haven't been doing many posts lately.  Not having a camera anymore is really getting to us!  But we just don't have the money to buy one right now, so we make do with what we have.

For Halloween we dressed up as the Flintstones!  We did get a couple pictures, but with Clint's dad's camera, so we have to get them on to the computer before we can post them.  But I made the costumes all by myself!  I do have to say they turned out pretty good!

Then Halloween night I got really sick and have been sick ever since.  It is Monday and I am home with Ellie, who has now also gotten this rotten cold.  So that is what we've been up to lately! 

A few weeks ago though we went to the North Davis Fire District Fire Prevention Open House.  Clint LOVES all things with sirens and horns.  He totally should have been a police officer or firefighter or something!  But no matter, we definitely know that Ellie is HIS daughter!  She loves all of those things too!  We got to see the Helicopter land and take off and listen to sirens and everything.  Clint also took his scouts since it was their night to have an activity and the boys loved it too.  So here's the one picture of Ellie we have from that night! 

That's what we've been up to!  We'll update later when we finally get pictures!
