My adorable and incredibly creative sister has started a small blog showing a little of her work. (it's called Two Sisters- Ink, but at this point I am just here for moral support! )

Lego Table
For Christmas Ryan got a Lego table to help organize his Lego addiction. And may I just say that it is pretty fantastic.
We have had a few people request a table of their own. So if you are interested, let me know and I will contact you when we get a price put together.

A mess looking for a place to happen...
Claire is now 15 months and she is into everything. She got a hold of the powdered sugar the other day. Her favorite thing to do is empty as many drawers as she can before I can clean up the major catastrophe she has created before her drawer purging.

LAC
So I had a little party for the LAC (Ladies Activity Club) on Tuesday. We had a great time. Chris made some dessert crepes... peach raspberry, chocolate banana and apple. As Ryan would say, "They where delectable!"
Yep, everything went great- until everyone had left and Ashlynn asked about the "broom bags."
I am LAME! I forgot to give everyone the treat bags that I had
spent HOURS working on. I am losing it! How did this happen? They where sitting on the counter right in front of everyone...
Sorry, I didn't mean for you to leave you empty handed...
Check out some more pics on Ashlynn's Lac Blog.

My Amazing Dad!
This weekend my Dad turn 65! He really is the funnest person ever. I love being with him and his grand kids are crazy about him too!
The best complement I have ever had is when someone told me that he could tell that I must have had a great childhood... it's true. My Dad was always there for me.
Your the greatest Dad! Happy Birthday!

Pumpkin Topiary
Mom and Dad came to visit for Dad's birthday and my Mom helped me create this pumpkin topiary. She could do this stuff with her eyes closed!
(and as a bonus... a little preview of Claire's Halloween costume- pretty cute, isn't she?)

Utah is a little emptier with out you!
My Sister, husband Zach and cutest baby Connor spent the month of September here in Utah.
We had the best time! Just a sampling of the things we did together: 
COME BACK! I MISS YOU!!!!
Magical Thinking
"Children say the funniest things, yet all too often, I seem to forget them after a day or two. I'll start telling my husband.. "Ryan said the funniest thing..." and then I can't quite remember. Or I get it a little mixed up and it's not nearly as funny as I remember.
So I started writing down the funnier moments of the day. I keep a jar on my desk, and when the kids say something particularly worthy of recording, I grab a scrap of paper (phone bill, envelope, chopstick holder.. whatever is lying around) and I quickly jot it down."

One year old!
Our sweet Claire is one... I can't believe it. Life is so much fun with her and we are all crazy about her.
Best memory of the trip... and favorite find.
In Gothenburg, Sweden Chris decided that he wanted a little something to munch on. We went to a grocery store and got this giant dessert roll. It looked like a huge Hostess HoHo. And we ate pretty much the entire thing. I am sure that it was meant to serve between 10 to 12 people! There were some girls walking behind us watching us devouring the thing... I am sure they were thinking what stupid Americans we were- eating this monstrous, calorie overloaded, delectable treat.
The greatest band-aid dispenser ever... The band-aids are pulled up and are ready to go. You may not think this is as ingenious as I do, but trust me it was awesome!
P.S. Band-aids are called "ploustas" in Sweden. Try explaining that you need a band-aid to someone that has no idea what your are saying... comedy!
Demark and Paris
After Sweden Chris and I went to Denmark- where we meet some of Chris' distant relatives, visited an old family farm and got a parking ticket. We really enjoyed everyone we meet and we even walked to the very Northern tip of Denmark (Skagen) where the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean come together.
And then a day in Paris. Paris had so many places to visit that we didn't really know where to start, with only one day there. We walked all over and saw amazing places. We were a little stressed when we arrived in Paris and our luggage didn't, but it showed up the next morning at the hotel about 20 minutes before we left for the airport again. The crepes with Nutella and bananas were yum-o! And the chocolate milk with french bread to dip brought back tons of memories from a trip 15 years earlier!
Haley made a great sign to welcome us home and Claire wanted nothing to do with us. I think that my Mom was loving it!
It was a great trip with great people. We are very lucky!

Birthday Party via Skype
Claire and I missed sharing a birthday by one hour. My baby turned one while we were gone. (The guilt was horrible!) My Mom threw her a great party and we got to join in too- all with the magic of SKYPE. Ashlynn and Coby told us about it and I love it! We got to see and talk with the kids every night. Learn all about it here
Bjertorp Slott, Sweden
After riding the train to Lidkoping, our good friends the Jepson's, (who are serving a mission there,) meet us at the train station and drove us about 45 minutes to Bjertorp Slott (Castle.) It was so fun to see them and spend a little time with them. It was great to see each other a hear some of the experiences they have had in Sweden. We really couldn't believe that in all of Sweden we ended up going right to when they were. Small world!
We had the run of our very own castle... It was a fairytale. The backyard was gorgeous with a fountain and green grass as far as you could see.
The driveway leading to the castle was lined with trees. Amazing!
There were also some old bikes for the guests to ride. That was the best!
Pictured are Ashlynn and her husband Coby, Ray and Brittany- She works for Asko USA and was our fantastic tour guide. We called her "Sugar Mama" because she was the holder of the Asko Credit Card. We were able to tour the Asko factory too. It was really interesting and we loved meeting so many nice people.
