I've decided to leave teaching for a while. While I have absolutely enjoyed my 7 years teaching, and have always dreamed of this ideal job...it's time.<br />
<br />
So...I've decided to start doing day care! In our house, we have an area that will be dedicated to just day care. I am so excited to interact with 8 toddlers on a daily basis, plan engaging activities, and apply my knowledge of early childhood education.<br />
<br />
I will be starting day care in August and am so excited for this new adventure!

All along W has said he's having "a baby brother AND a baby sister at the same time!" Don't worry, there's just one! Baby was kicking and moving all over the place. So cool! <br /><br />-I walked in the room today and Will said, "Mom, I just looked at those pictures (ultrasound) of the baby again. It made me so happy!" He regularly mentions the things he's going to teach baby to do. So sweet.<br /><br />-Still been feeling yucky....usually late afternoon/evening. I've eaten A TON. No, seriously. RJ's convinced I eat more than him these days, and as he says, "That's no small accomplishment!" I've already gained 10 pounds!<br /><br />-Our house should be done in 60 days-ish. So excited! It's looking good so far! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/04/14/3044.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/04/14/s_3044.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />-We got in to sell RJ's pallet creations at the Logan market each Saturday, as well as two Sundays at the Park Silly Market. We're so excited...and have been busy building, sanding, painting, staining! It'll be easier when the weather gets nicer! <br /><br />-Starting to feel the end of the school year crunch! Stress! Testing! Yikes. <br /><br />-Guess that's all for now! Just wanted to keep note of a few things so I don't forget. Been such a blogging slacker lately!<br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-12177980577589462622013-03-23T18:12:00.001-06:002013-03-23T18:12:40.413-06:00So Many Surprises!Today is my mother-in-law's birthday! We were invited to go eat at Cafe Sabor for lunch.... Little did I know there was much more going on! <br /><br />We got to the restaurant, walked upstairs and.... SURPRISE! My whole family....parents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, even some friends....were there! RJ had planned a surprise party for my upcoming 30th birthday! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/23/2018.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/23/s_2018.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />As we were chatting, RJ and Will brought in my present from them...a new awesome phone case! But there was a surprise for the guests too.... <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/23/2019.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/23/s_2019.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/03/23/2020.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/03/23/s_2020.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />It took everyone a moment to notice Will had changed his shirt! <br /><br />It was such a fun party! I'm so overwhelmed that everyone would drive all the way up from Salt Lake, just for lunch! And, on top of that, bring treats, too! My thoughtful husband pulled off quite the surprise...even if he did have to hog his mom's birthday to do it! ;)<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-32210225285636196772013-02-17T19:25:00.004-07:002013-02-17T19:25:49.100-07:00Titanic!At school, we've been learning about the Titanic. A boy in my class had just finished reading a book- historical fiction-about it. I asked him to briefly explain what happened to the Titanic.<br />
<br />
As he finished explaining, he said, "Oh, and Aidan's aunt was on the Titanic!"<br />
<br />
Aidan (another student): "No, no...not my <i>aunt</i>, my <i>ancestor</i>."<br />
<br />
First student: "Oh, not his aunt, his <i>aunt's sister</i>."<br />
<br />

So excited! We'll be living in Nibley, just a few doors down from some good friends. We've been ever so grateful for the opportunity we've had to live with RJ's parents and save $$$. A dear friend of mine said something that really resonated with me the other day...she was talking about something unrelated, but said, "Don't you think your self-esteem comes from taking care of yourself?" This is so the point we're at right now...ready to take care of our family, in our house. We're so excited for our next adventure! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/01/19/2766.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/01/19/s_2766.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/01/19/2767.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/01/19/s_2767.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/01/19/2768.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/01/19/s_2768.jpg' border='0' width='240' height='240' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-78306928857752686162013-01-19T20:54:00.001-07:002013-01-19T20:54:55.793-07:00Ch-Ch-ChangesBig changes around here lately. RJ has a new job! Which is sort of sad, but also awesome! He didn't mean to quit teaching mid-year, but an awesome job came along and he just had to go with it! <br /><br />He is a media specialist/technology guy (that's the official title, I'm sure) at Logan Regional Hospital. Totally utilizing his tech skills and great pay/benefits. Awesome opportunity for him! (Plus, it's Thinking Map free! ;) )<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/01/19/2749.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/01/19/s_2749.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=13/01/19/2750.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/13/01/19/s_2750.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Will and I took him to breakfast on his big first day.

And candy. Lots of candy. <br /><br /><br />Shirtless, already. <br />Showering! Awkward.<br />Our first helicopter <br />And the obligatory daredevil date<br />We feel like ABC is maybe focusing too much on the arm? <br />"Tierra's a brat, but she's sure pretty!" -Ivie<br />Adrienne- "How can you NOT give the first girl a rose?" Good point.<br />And a balcony shot<br />Hellllo booty shorts<br />Shirtless shot<br />I feel drama brewing!!!<br />And...an open shirt<br />Group dates are awkward. <br />But they payout on the drama<br />I really just like Kacie B.<br />Oh the fringe. No.<br />Love Desiree. Seems so genuine.<br />Oh my gosh.<br />This is hilarious.<br />Shirtless again.<br />He's so into her.<br />We love her. Like the rest of America.<br />His tie is cute!<br />Helllllo yellow dress.<br />Amanda just went right to smiles!<br />I can't even keep them all straight when there's this many!<br />So much DRAMA! <br />This show is trashy!!! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-78646212849341228602013-01-08T00:14:00.000-07:002013-01-08T00:14:10.912-07:00Bachelor Week 1<ul>

<li>The drama begins!</li>
<li>Sean's got the vnecks already</li>
<li>Shirtless pic...took about 4 seconds for the first one</li>
<li>And...second shirtless</li>
<li>Remember the awkward love speech last season</li>
<li>We all want Emily's sequined skirt</li>
<li>Remember the joke Sean's family played</li>
<li>...and I totally fell for</li>
<li>Look at them putting the kids in the hammock...pulling at the heartstrings</li>
<li>And another vneck</li>
<li>Oh there just happens to be a wedding on the beach</li>
<li>Oh good, Arie has a mini vneck too</li>
<li>I feel like this pep talk will be awkward...</li>
<li>I can never decide if Arie is cute</li>
<li>Oh no. Do they really practice this, "Will you accept this rose?" </li>
<li>Maybe after a few beers...</li>
<li>Do boys really do this?! The practice breaking up?</li>
<li>"That's not what you said in the fantasy suite last night..." ha!</li>
<li>Oh he is NOT going to give kissing tips...</li>
<li>Arie was such an intense kisser...</li>
<li>Desiree- I bet she gets asked about her husband/BF at work ALL THE TIME</li>
<li>Tierra- looks emotional</li>
<li>Robyn- she practiced that heart move</li>
<li>Diana- What salon does she own in Salt Lake?! </li>
<li>Sarah- Seems cool....but maybe has too high of expectations of the show? </li>
<li>Ashley P.- "I have no idea why I'm still single!" Followed by the cats comment. And 50 Shades obsession....and "I hope Sean rips off my clothes and spanks me!" YIKES.</li>
<li>Lesley M.- Pretty. I think he'll dig her. </li>
<li>Kristy- "The best from the midwest!" Ew. I think she's into her trainer. </li>
<li>Ashlee F.- "I'm obsessed with being organized." I think that would stress most guys out. Ivie has a genius observation...she's obsessed with the organization because she likes the control. </li>
<li>Jackie- The kisser</li>
<li>Selma- Ew.</li>
<li>Leslie- A poker dealer! </li>
<li>Daniela- A handshake...no.</li>
<li>Kelly- Cruise ship entertainer?! And a song. </li>
<li>Enough with the gimicks</li>
<li>Katie- no yoga</li>
<li>50 Shades is creeeepy</li>
<li>Taryn- looks nervous....we think he likes her</li>
<li>Catherine- exotic...he's into her</li>
<li>Robyn....why would you think that is a good idea?! Why? Ivie: "First of all, let me show you my crotch!" AGH</li>
<li>Paige...Jumbotron operator...Bachleor Pad Superfan!!!! </li>
<li>Tierra-is he about to give her the first impression rose?!!?</li>
<li>Eeeeek...I like this!</li>
<li>Put a target on her! Those girls are MAD.</li>
<li>Amanda- What is a "Fit Model"...the awkward pause is...AWKWARD. Ivie and Cynthia: "I can't even watch!"</li>
<li>Ivie: "Could he just cut her right now? This isn't going to work!"</li>
<li>Maryann- kinda masculine</li>
<li>Cynthia: "Why do all the blondes look bad?" They really are orangey.</li>
<li>We like Desiree.</li>
<li>He's really into saying, "I look forward to seeing you inside..." to ALL of them</li>
<li>Football girl.... ha, "She's fun."</li>
<li>Kristy- Weird hair</li>
<li>Ashley M.- A fashion model. For mermaids.</li>
<li>Lauren- Brought the dad message</li>
<li>Wedding dress. Lindsay. That was a bad idea.</li>
<li>Ways to NOT get a rose: "My dad said he'll break your legs." "I've got balls!" Show up in a wedding dress. </li>
<li>Who's the mystery girl?!?!</li>
<li>KACIE B! </li>
<li>Why isn't it fair</li>
<li>No screaming</li>
<li>Not so sure on the middle of Kacie's dress</li>
<li>I think he's into her</li>
<li>She has crazy buff legs</li>
<li>"I work at a bridal salon." No pressure!</li>
<li>I like her</li>
<li>Look at all those GLARES!</li>
<li>"This is a game changer!" </li>
<li>Selma....hum......</li>
<li>How many roses is this?!</li>
<li>"I wish I was more sober right now!" </li>
<li>Cynthia: "Oh, I cannot even watch this."</li>
<li>"Do we need me to start dancing?" No.</li>
<li>"She just needs a lot of water!"</li>
<li>Sean: "I also brought a rape whistle.." </li>
<li>"That girl's a trip...she is a LOT to take in!"</li>
<li>"50 Shades of Grey may have become 50 shades of drunk!"</li>
<li>Cynthia: "I don't think it's good to give out the roses as we go along. Because people start crying and they can't leave!" </li>
<li>Cynthia: "Has it ever been this awkward?!"</li>
<li>And we found the crier.</li>
<li>I loathe the expression, "at the end of the day"</li>
<li>And she's said it twice. </li>
<li>But I admire how she's handling the arm topic.</li>
<li>Whew. Glad Kacie was in there.</li>
<li>Poor Paige. </li>
<li>Oh the DRAMA! LOVE IT!</li>
<li>Can't even wait. </li>
<li>Even the rose petals fell, you guys!</li>
<li><br /></li>

Turns out 3 was the magic age for Halloween to be fun for Will. He had SO. MUCH. FUN! A few weeks before the big day he announced the costumes: I would be a witch, he'd be a princess, and RJ would be the tooth fairy! HA! Luckily that changed a little...he now wanted to be a witch. I kept trying to think of how I could do a boy-ish witch costume....he was adamant that be was NOT a warlock, NOT a wizard...a WITCH! So, we went with it! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/03/997.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/03/s_997.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />He had a blast at his day care, then Daryla picked him up and brought him to the Ellis parade. The kids LOVED seeing him....he did NOT love seeing the Garbage Monster! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/03/998.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/03/s_998.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />After a restful nap, we went trick or treating. My goodness, he loved it this year! He would cackle his way right up to the door, knock, then sweetly say, "Trick or treat!" And always a thank you! At first, he made up a little song and skipped his way from house to house singing, "It's Halloween! It's Halloween!" <br /><br />At one neighbor's house (who we know, luckily!), he took his treat, then said, "Give my mom one please...then give my dad one, please." Ha! We didn't even practice that! ;)<br /><br />We passed a lady pushing a stroller (the kid it belonged to was out and trick or treating)....he worriedly looked in, looked up at her, and said, "Um, your baby fell out." His tone was just so funny. <br /><br />We had a great Halloween! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/03/999.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/03/s_999.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-80803750912963043752012-10-26T00:44:00.001-06:002012-10-26T00:44:57.385-06:00Doctor VisitI was explaining to Will that he'd be going to see the doctor tomorrow...<br /><br />Me: "Maybe he can fix your runny nose!"<br /><br />Will: "Yeah, and maybe he can fix that ouch..." while pointing at the monster zit on my chin.

I told him I was going to clean the bathroom while he finished his show, then it was time for bed. <br /><br />When I came back, he had finished the first show and started another. I told him it was time to turn it off and go to bed. His response? "Go away....no, I mean, um...mom? The bathroom is still just a little bit messy..." with a sneaky little smirk!

He grabbed the iPad and was playing "Where's My Water?" I suddenly could hear liquid in the backseat...my first thought was that the game has really awesome sound effects! Ha....Will was throwing up EVERYWHERE! Poor thing. He started crying and saying, "I need a wipe!" <br />We pulled over and cleaned up a little...then headed into my classroom for some quick sub plans. Poor Will sat in a chair, crying and saying, "I just need some help cleaning up, mom!"<br />Once we got home, had a bath, washed the car/car seat/clothes/EVERYTHING....W started eating and says he's all better now. He pigged out on corn, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, beef jerky, and applesauce....isn't that just the grossest combination? <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/09/19/1199.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/09/19/s_1199.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />When he got dressed he said, "I'll wear something that will make me better!" and chose his "I love Nana" shirt! He's beginning to work the system, "Mom, I need that cereal. It makes me better." <br />Let's hope this is short lived....I'll be cleaning my car...That SMELL! Ew. <br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-61990562520578678232012-09-17T00:30:00.001-06:002012-09-17T00:30:01.193-06:00Primary ProgramOur church meeting today was the Primary program. The nursery kids had a song to sing. At the practice yesterday, Will was not having it. He stood, saying, "I don't want to do it, mom!" in the saddest little timid voice. So, I didn't expect today to go well! As I gave him a pep talk this morning, he said, "No, mama, you sing. I'll sit on the couches (pews) and read those books (hymn books)." Ha! <br /><br />But...as the Primary kids got up from their seats to go sing, Will joined in. It wasn't the nursery kids turn yet, but I didn't want to burst his little bubble. He was adamant, saying, "I go by myself, mom. All by myself!" He was so proud! <br /><br />When it was actually time to sing, he just smiled...but it was cute and of course I was SO PROUD! One lady commented afterward that she had more fun watching me than watching the kids! Ha...I was just so happy watching him up there! <br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-55732357344211075772012-09-17T00:21:00.001-06:002012-09-17T00:21:58.625-06:00Church BulletinToday at church, Will opened the church program and moved his finger across the words like he was "reading" it...<br /><br />It said: "Get some pizza....Get a treat....Get a snack...." <br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-30474562442188525292012-08-09T02:18:00.001-06:002012-08-09T02:18:58.561-06:00Will FunniesLast night, W was brushing his teeth. He finished and let out a big sigh, then said, "Ah, I feel much better!" I said, "It feels good to have clean teeth!" He replied, "Fantastic, baby!" <br /><br />Today, we were at City Creek looking at the stream. He spotted a fish and yelled, "SHARK!!!" Stopped some mall traffic! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/09/111.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/09/s_111.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Last week, we went shopping at Target and discovered that W is "so scared, mom!" to walk on the floor there. The reflection of the lights on the shiny linoleum floor freaks him out. I think it looks like the floor is moving? Not sure, but he scales the shelves trying to avoid the floor, or heads right to the carpet. It's actually kinda cute!<br /><br />While at Target, I was paying and W found a toy by the check stand. When it came time to put it away, there was another customer blocking the way. Will looked right up at him and said, Move." while motioning with his hand. Luckily the guy was nice, because it was really pretty funny...and embarrassing! We had a little chat about saying, "Excuse me"...especially to strangers! <br /><br />Will has also started calling me Josè! It's pretty funny to see people's faces when he calls his pale-faced, blonde-haired mom Josè! It started when I said, "No way, Josè!" to him, and he replied, "Yes, Josè!" And...it stuck! <br /><br />He doesn't understand that someone/something can have more than one quality....like today I said, "You are my best guy!" and he said, "No mom, I'm Will!" and the tone he says it in is so cute, it's as if I keep forgetting his name or something! <br /><br />Speaking of which...we were headed to Salt Lake to see my family. He knew we were seeing "Nana and Bobo", so when I said we were going to Salt Lake, he started crying, "Not go to Salt Lake City, go to Nana's!" <br /><br />I've been trying to explain to him that "Nana and Bobo" are my parents (despite the circus sounding names!) and that Nick and Paul are my brothers. What an abstract concept! I was talking about it the other day and W said, "Not your brothers, mom. They are my buddies!" <br /><br />Will has been telling me lately that he wants a baby brother AND a baby sister "at the SAME TIME mom!" Yikes! I asked what their names would be...brother is DooDoo and sister is DooDee! <br /><br />Love this kid! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/08/09/112.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/08/09/s_112.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06539403929722336720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130500560921838587.post-24283191511804562682012-07-26T01:03:00.001-06:002012-07-26T01:03:13.796-06:00RJ the Builder!<div style="text-align: center;">

In June, I decided I
wanted to be a runner. I always hated running (I thought), but after an
awesome run up the canyon, I think I just hated running on the
treadmill. So, I set a goal to run in The Freedom Run on July 4. It's a
15k (just over 9 miles) through Blacksmith Fork Canyon, ending in Hyrum
City Park.<br />
<br />
A couple of things from the month:<br />
<ul>
<li>Running is addicting. Start, and you'll want to keep it up!</li>
<li>Of course, some days it wasn't appealing, but I "rewarded" myself with new running pants, etc. on those days!</li>
<li>For me, having someone to cheer me on/kick my trash kept me
going...BIG shout out to my sister in law, Amy, for the daily texts.
Hugely kept me going! </li>
<li>I feel like I don't really have a lot of
hobbies/talents that I keep up on. So, making a goal...working on it
nearly every day...then MEETING that goal was SO huge for me! Especially
because it was a running goal...and I never thought I was a runner!
Just the other day, RJ said, "Remember how you always wanted to be a
runner?" YES! And now I am! And I LOVE it!</li>
<li>During the race, I
had my iPhone with me. I had trained using it because I have a running
app that I love and a playlist, too. I know a lot of runners don't like
to hold anything, let alone something so bulky, but I loved it. It gave
me a distraction when I needed it- picking out the next song, checking
my running app, etc. Plus, so many awesome friends and family cheered me
on via text during the race and that was super motivating for me. It
was like someone was there with me keeping me going! There were a couple
funny parts...when I got to the big hill, the song "I Hate This Part"
came on...when I was about a mile from the finish line, "Feel So Close"
came on! Then as I got closer, "Glad You Came" and "Good Feeling" came
on...thought those titles were pretty fitting to the moment! I finished
to "The Fighter", which was motivating.</li>
</ul>
Anyway....it
felt really good to do something just for me, that I wanted to do, that I
had to continually work for....and then actually accomplish it! What a
great feeling! I know you all out there have experienced that in some
way in your life, and have had the same accomplishment feeling.<br />
<br />
Now for all the pictures!<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">At
right about the 7th mile, there is a hill...whew! I had in my head that
I'd run as far as I could up the hill, then walk when I needed to.
But...I was able to run it! When I was about half way up the hill, I got
a text from RJ with this sweet picture of Will cheering me on!
Definitely helped me finish that nasty hill! </td></tr>

While we were gone, RJ worked on a secret project! He's so good at surprises, and I looooove being the one to benefit. <br /><br />I got home Saturday afternoon to discover our room completely cleaned and reorganized. He (and his generous dad) built a new tv mount and a new shoe shelf. the best part...he setup a little "getting ready" station for me! Organized all my makeup, perfumes, and girly stuff. <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/09/143.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/09/s_143.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />His newfound love of Pinterest (!) lead him to repurpose this paint can! So crafty! And look in the background...he's so sweet and hung up my award, complete with adding a polka dot ribbon! <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/07/09/144.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/07/09/s_144.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />How cute is this?!
