Color at Last

By -
I have a confession to make. When it comes to color I'm a little phobic. I like it in other people's houses, but I have been totally content with all white walls in my house for over 10 years now. I don't know why. Perhaps it's because white is clean and light and you really can't mess up decorating too much when you choose to go with it. We finally decided however to break out of our comfort zone and add a little color to our lives. At first I was a little nervous but now that we've done it I love the results. All of the paints are from Restoration Hardware. So far Matt and I have painted a room each Saturday in January and we are almost through with the main floor. Here are some of the results, we're still in the process of updating our decor to go with the new paint. It's been a great project to beat the winter blahs.
Cappucino
Silver Sage
Blue Sage (our favorite)

I LOVE the colors! My sister was an all-white gal herself until a couple of years ago and it really changed the whole feeling of her house--very warm. Glad you're having fun! I'm still planning on lunch tomorrow but my niece told me she doesn't think "Citrus Grill" is there anymore? Is that true??? See you at noon regardless...

As I've written before Mimi is fascinated by little creatures in nature. Introducing her latest find, a snail she named "Slimey". She made him a cozy little home out of a canning jar from our cabinet. It comes fully furnished with a bed made of grass and lettuce leaves. She couldn't resist sharing him with her best friend Jaden and his little brother Teagan.

It has been a really long time since we've had our family pictures taken (7 years to be exact). So with Caleb about to leave for the mission field we decided these pictures were a must. We had them taken at a local photo shop and I must say I really love how they turned out. Here are a few of our favorites! Above are Caleb, Me, Matt, Tayler, Colton, Miguel and Mikayla are below.

Fashionable Fan

Hot off the runways of Paris, it's the most stylish trend to wear to your sons football games (or any outdoor sport of your choice). My Dad thought this would be a great idea when I mentioned to him how cold I get when I watch the games. After seeking many thrift shops far and wide he finally showed up with this little beauty which came in an extra-large and was complete with it's own official patch (which means I'm apparently now part of the Scorpion's snowmobile gang). I must admit I felt a little like a grown up version of the kid whose Mom dresses him all up for winter in "A Christmas Story". Wearing this, you may be your kids number one fan, but they'll pretend not to know the crazy lady in the snowsuit hooping and hollering from the sidelines.
