DOLL HOUSE

The last few weeks my brother Tyler has been making Kaydence a doll house. I have been looking into getting one for kaydence for quite some time but they're so expensive and seemed pretty crapy for the money. He has been the major wood worker around here, making cabniets and molding and all sorts of stuff, so I asked him if he could do it. He drew up the plans and got right to work. I have been so excited about it every step of the way. It turned out awesome. I just finished painted and tiling the kitchen and making curtains. At least I have one house to furnish...maybe someday I will have my own :) I probably wouldn't use the same colorscheme though. :) I got the little family dolls but we will hold off on getting more "rooms" furnished for other birthdays and gifts. THANKS TYLER!!!! WE LOVE IT!!!!

CoSmEtIc SeRgUry

My dad moved his Doctors office in with a few other doctors for a partnership...He was partners with then a fews years ago but parted ways and they finally after 4 years they "pleaded" for him to return so he did. He returned to an office which now offered lazer treatments such as lazer hair removal, spider vein removal, skin tighening and so on. I have been so excited to try this out for months and months. I had my first treatment today. I got my freckles lazered off my face and my hair removed from my legs and armpits. It takes about 5-6 treaments every 6 weeks which being in idaho I won't get to do...so wont get the full permanent hair removal process but for my freckles I can get the last treatment in 2 weeks before I leave so I am pleased about that....ive always hated my freckles. Right now there is some burning and they are really dark and popping out and my face is really red but after a few days they just scab over and fall off...how crazy is that!!!!!! Good thing craig is away for another 2 weeks and doesn't have to witness this right now. I am definantly getting my money's worth down here in California...hopefully I can soak up as much vainness as I can in sunny california before coming home to the real world of Idaho :)

MAKE OVER

My sister in law wendy did my hair and make up..i know my hair looks pretty normal but with curly hair...straightening your hair is doing it !!!!! She is a marykay consultant and we did facials and make overs this morning.... what do you think???

kids bedroom set

When we moved we decided to leave Kaydence broken dresser there...it's pretty much seen its last day (thats what you get with cheap fake wood furniture!!!!!)  So we have been living out of suitcases with no dresser for the kids.  Soren was using one of those plastic 3 drawer bins as a dresser and it was about time we got him a real one as well.  I was searching and searching and everything was pretty expensive.  I went to this thrift store to look around and came across this set.  I was only looking for one dresser for them to share but decided to get this set because it was pretty cheap.  It was a 6 drawer dresser/mirror and a 5 drawer chest and 2 end tables listed at 200$.  I talked them down to 175$ and felt pretty pleased with myself.  Craig wasn't around to consult and the in-laws were also away and so I made the impulse buy!!!! I am also pretty pleased with myself that I was able to haul it all home (with 2 trips) and unload them and bring them inside. **it took 2 guys to load it in the car and I unloaded it all myself.  :)  those strike classes have paid off :)

heres some pictures.   

They are KENT-COFFEY and apparently the "IN" furniture to inherit from the parents-grandparents.
