WE MADE THIS!!!!! I know, crazy!

I know, way crazy!! My sister-in-law introduced me to KNOCK OFF WOOD. It's a website that gives you free plans for furniture pieces that you could buy in stores for hundreds of dollars, or you could make yourselves for much less. This was actually a really fun project for Jaron and I to work on together. And there really is some pride in your accomplishments when you step back and say "I MADE THIS!!"
This was called the "Bankable Bookshelves". We made it to reign in Sawyer's toys. You can't tell very well in this picture, but the bottom shelf there is actually a toy bin. (it just looks like a shelf to me in the picture, but it's not).
We did a pirate theme. We painted it a rust color, and put pirate wallpaper on the back side. These are pictures of the wallpaper close up. I REALLY love how it turned out. It is so, very BOY!!

We also made this!!

I know we are perfectionists in EVEY area, but especially babies!! We love our Soybean!! We recently took our first trip to an event where his schedule was COMPLETELY messed up. No naps, Bedtime at midnight, wake up at 6:50, and then more No naps. I can tell you there were two really grumpy people, and three kind of grumpy people. Well, that's what happens when you share a room with a baby, NO SLEEP!! We went to LAS VEGAS for a car show. I love this picture. Sawyer is watching the drag races, and those are the ear plugs in his ears. I don't know why, but he reminds me of Shrek. LOVE IT!!!!

This is me and Sawyer sitting in the Razor. An indispensable piece of machinery at car shows like this. Why walk when you can cruise past all those LLLLAAAAMMMMEEE pedestrians in style!!! Just kidding, we still did our fair share of walking but the Razor was really nice :)
And then Daddy-O holding Dinosawyer in the stands. Are my Man's so handsome! Love 'em ALL!!! Fun times, but very exhausiting. I haven't recovered from our vacation yet. My eye's are closing as we speak!!!!
