~Watch me grow~

When I was in Salt Lake visiting my sister we went to the Quilted Bear!! We always go there to find way cute stuff and ideas. They also have the best sugar cookies there :) Well we saw these height chart boards and they where so cute but like $45.00. I wasn't going to pay that much for something I could make so Tiff an I went and got all the stuff to make one. It cost like $12.00!!! I have to say its one of my favorite things I have made yet.

~Diaper Station~

So I kinda get obsessed with redoing things and making antiques look new. I know its easier to buy things new and place them in the house right away. Well for me I need projects and crafts to keep me busy and my mind of Tuckers deployment. So my Mom and I found this antique changing/baby dresser and decided to go for it. We sanded it all down then stained and stained and stained some more!! It took a lot of work and to stains mixed together to match the crib we got. But we gotter done!!

Great Birthday!

I didn't think my 27th birthday would be all that great just another day, no big deal. Kinda felt that way cause Tucker isn't home. But when my morning started out with a Happy Birthday from my hubby it started looking up.

My Mom took me to lunch and we did some baby shopping and hit a couple antique stores. It was good then my cell rang and a weird number!!! It was my awesome hubs! I wasnt expecting a phone call. we usually talk online. He said " what you didn't think I would call you on your birthday?" After about 10 mins we got off and he got online we talked for like 3 hours no joke. He made my day. Until the door rang and there where these beautiful roses being delivered for me!!! I have to say after I got those flowers from him I was on cloud nine. I felt so special and loved. I feel in love with my husband all over again...no joke butterflies in my tummy and all. Wait where those butterflies really Tenley?? haha jk It was a great day!!


One happy girl!! Thanks honey!




Beautiful he did a good job!

SaLt LaKe SiStEr TiMe!!!!

Ok so if you know anything about me you know Im very close to my big sister. I miss her all the time and when we get together we have the best time. I got to spend a whole week with her wish it had been longer but I knew I would be back next month!!!


After lookin at a lot of cribs and I do mean a lot of cribs I picked it! Funny part is I looked at this crib in December when Tucker and I where therefor Christmas visit. Now I was wonting a white crib but got vetoed my the hubs. He said NO WHITE. and NO DARK DARK wood. So when I picked this wood color I was worried he wouldnt like it....but He said "I love the crib babe"!!! Phew!. His imput means a lot to me and I try very hard to keep him in the loop about what we are doing with her room.



Kayla is a big help when picking out fabric to redo a nursery chair in. When you get to that point where you want to pull out your hair cause you have to many choices she will make you smile and give ya kisses!! So when going shopping bring your Kayla!!

So happy we found the perfect fabric!!!


Who needs a fuzzy baby crown for her birthday coming up??? I think Kayla!




Twin Falls in April


I took alittle road trip to good old Twin Falls!! I thought it was time I went and saw our dog and Tuckers family. We had a great time. Did some baby shopping, ate some yummy food that only Twin has and just hung out. It was hard being there without Tucker. Makes me feel like a big piece of me is missing. I got a chance to catch up with a really good friend my Amber!! Twin is also a small town so I ran into Jamie, Armondo, Brit, Matt and Kari. Gosh did I forget anyone haha

Don't get me wrong my husband keeps be busy even country's away. But the days would sure be longer with out a project to do. I think I have 4 big ones going right now lol!!

Tuckers Missions

Ok so it has been awhile sine I posted anything and even Tucker brought that to my attention. HAHA So I guess I better get to it. I will do my best with describing whats going on in these pictures. I asked my loving husband to post comments under the photos off his facebook and well he hasn't got to it yet...lol its not like he is busy over there ...totally kidding honey.


Tucker squatting down taking a break from there hike and I do mean hike they are over 6k alt and not many of the humves or mraps can get to the areas they go out into.

Tucker and his guys towing back another SSG vehicle for the second time.. Tucker says he owes him a beer when they get back to the states.
