Remnants of the Past-

We are back from our little girl get away, so I thought I would share how our weekend went-

After we checked in at the hotel we decided to get something for dinner.  A little restaurant on the sand at the beach was perfect- We had dinner at Fins a little quirky place, but good food, and we watched the sun go down from our table.

It was a beautiful evening- the sun reflecting on the sand- light breezes, slightly cool temperature, campfires on the sand and great company.  It was a nice night- After we left the beach we decided hot chocolate would be great....so with the help of our GPS we headed on our way....only to re- in act an episode from the"office"{click here to see it} but in the end we found our Hot chocolate.  Went back to the hotel and played a couple games, talked.

The next morning got up early and found our way to the Antique event Remnants of the Past.  Truly a fabulous setting. Here's a little look at what we did there.

1. Fabulous hanging chandelier made with a wagon wheel, mason jars and Christmas lights.
2. me and the girls
3. Heidi buying some old skeleton keys from a "very french" guy. =)
4. Me and Heather- it was fun to meet her.  She has a fabulous blog. Check it out. 

 

Some of our treasures- =) Can you guess which ones are mine?

After having all the fun we could stand we packed up our treasures and headed for home....but not without stopping at the beach once more.

Heidi being brave enough to let this bird sit on her head...just kidding.

It was a marvelous trip with the girls....I'm one lucky mother in law to have such sweet daughters {in laws =)

Thanks Bree & Heidi.

It was a Happy Day-

and if you are still trying to guess which items were mine- here's a little picture to help you out.

• flour sack
• mirror
• bay leaf wreath
• iron basket

Truly a great weekend.

Girls Road Trip

   Today is the day the road trip begins-

    Check it out- Remnants of the Past

    I'm packed and ready-  Happy Day.

Mason's Words-

1. Well, it is snowing now.
2. Tell Jake I'm excited about his mission call, send me his address so I can give him some advice, things that I wish that I did before I left.
3. Working so hard that my legs, my eyes, my feet and the rest of my body is always aching at the end of the day.
4. Right now it's really hard. This is so far my favorite area, because if it was easy like Billings then I wouldn't be able to learn what I need to.
5. We got hit by a Deer. right in the middle of town- it rammed us on the drivers side of the car. So, yeah, a deer hit us.
6. Conference was awesome.
7. Love you guys.

October 22, Mason hits the 6 month mark in the mission.  He has been asking for ties- so I'm getting a big box ready to send next week of nothing but ties-{Happy fun box of ties}  if you want to join in on the fun, send him a tie...his address is on the right.

Nut Zoo House-

 

It's a little like a zoo around here. Just in this little area, four forklifts trying not to hit each other.

 

 

 

 

 

Bree- working at the front desk- Just another day at the Nut House.
  

In my very near future-

• coast location
• orange groves
• antiques
• embillishments
• & rare finds-
• me & the girls

Happy Day!

Owls, train, conference & crafts-

How our weekend was spent-

- first Sam climbed up on the roof to clean out all the rain gutters.  The woodpeckers use them for food storage- most were  full of acorns. Thanks to Sam they are now clean.

To help "scare" {yeah, right} the woodpeckers away from the house, we have hung "fake" owls from the roof.  Carlee took a liking to one of them. She called it her friend, and the ones hanging from the roof were brothers.

the next day we....

 packed a picnic and loaded up the Van-{ Heidi and kids, Denver and Bree}

We were off on a train ride- here's a little look at our day.

After lunch we headed back home- to watch conference, swim and our conference craft.

yes, October swimming.

As we were watching conference, we worked on making a fall/Christmas wreath.

 

I found the idea here.

The finished project.

I plan to change out the ribbon for Christmas.

It was a wonderful weekend- full of family, fun and learning.
