Tired?

Do you think he's tired?

Sound asleep.... And snoring...

Look What My Drew Can Do!

Well the moment you have so anxiously been awaiting! This project took a little bit longer to complete because mid build we started 5.... Yes 5 other projects (yes this is the reason you have not heard from us)! Anyway... I have always wanted this bed from Pottery Barn. However for a king size version it is almost $2000! Yikes.

The Stratton Bed from Pottery Barn. Then I found this website. Knockoffwood.blogspot.com. And she has all the measurments and steps laid out how to make knock of versions of popular furniture!

So little Drewpal got to work!

And the finished project! The best part is that the bed is basically just 3 bookshelves. So if you don't want it as a bed any more you can stack them or use them side by side.

The bed turned out amazing! Thanks so much Drew!!

And p.s. sorry if you're like me and all you can see in the picture above is a wrinkled sheet. I know! Makes me cringe too. Not enough to actually steam it. ( I wanted to but Drew said no.)

p.s.s. more on the other 5 projects to come! It's going to blow your mind!

Happy Birthday Caesar Boy!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

What is this little guy so busy with? You'll just have to wait and see!

...So Excited...

You may wonder... What does this sweet little girl look like when she's excited?

Well here's your answer! And nothing makes me happier!

Finally!!!

I took my road bike out!! The air quality was only slightly murky. But the sun was shining, there wasn't any new snow so cross country skiing wasn't an option. And I couldn't wait to test drive my new bike.

My pretty pretty bike! And of course I tracked my course on my RunKeeper App! I have already converted 3 people, and I'm pushing to make everyone buy this App. I should be getting paid for this. (Speaking of which, feel free to click on the ads running on the side of my blog. We get 10 cents a click! Feel free to click all of them! Thanks Meghan! My sister is a loyal clicker!) Anywho... The ride was amazing.

As you can see my intensity is much greater cycling then it is skiing. Not as many pictures to be taken while cycling.

And yes, I am in love with cycling too! I only had one near miss when my visiting teacher tried to run me over! Whatevs... Maybe she really doesn't like bringing me treats every month like she says! So great! So many fun things to try!!

Midway, Fabulous as Always!

After work on Friday we headed to Midway to stay at the Homestead Resort. This is one of our all time favorite places. If you go on their website the have a section where they offer specials. We got the bed an breakfast where you get a night and free breakfast. And this is not a continental breakfast, it's superb.

Fanny's Grill never disappoints! They have the best wheat banana granola pancakes Ever!!! Well Drew wanted to make today special so he started us off with a cinnamon roll!

And it was ENORMOUS!! No joke the size of a pizza!! We barely made a dent in it.

After that... I headed out on the cross-country course. This was the best skiing I have done yet. The trail was so well groomed, and managed it spoiled me. I think I am really getting the technique now. I even passed people up on the trail! And the most impressive part is I didn't fall!!! AhhhMazing! I even got into a tuck position on the hills!

How cute are my skis? Can you see the tracks you follow? I passed a couple that I could tell it was their first time and they were going on the skate section of the track. Instead of the classic. I thought about telling them, but maybe they knew more then me.

They fresh groomed tracks. With prestine snow. Bonneville has turned icy because of the lack of snow. Up there it was perfect.

And does this scenery not blow your mind?

All along the course you are following deer tracks. I love the outdoors. And now enjoy winter SO much more.

Look at that!! Well my time improved by 5 minutes a mile. I could be a lot faster if I didn't stop so often to take pictures. Oh well, I love everything about it.

My trail, time and calories. Worked off maybe a third of the cinnamon roll.

While I was skiing Drew was in the lodge reading/studying his book the E-myth. He's obsessed!

Then we played a game of pool and Drew beat me. We will probably never play pool again. Ha ha!

Then we headed over to Zermatt Resort to look at the Ice Castles. Crazy cool!

It was terrific anniversary celebration! Happy 2 years to us!!!!!

Girls Day Out

So I am obsessed with skiing at Bonneville now, super convenient and the fact that you can take dogs off leash there is a huge plus. So I raced home from work today because I had a break before going back tonight. When I realized all of my ski clothes were still in the washer. I threw some stuff in the dryer for 5 minutes. I couldn't wait any longer, I pulled out all my wet clothes and threw them on. My body heat would dry it, right? I took Cleo with me this time. Cleo off leash is just much more obedient. She just came that way.

So I started my RunKeeper app, this time figured out how to have it alert me every mile I skied. It's so neat to know how far you have gone, and how long you have been going without missing a beat. Literally, the app voice just tells you right over your music.

Cleo was so fun to ski with, until she spotted some deer droppings on the track and didn't get out of the way in time.

She had the time of her life, and it blows my mind how fast she is. Caesar was just gangly up until about a month ago.

The scenery as always was beautiful. So we had a great day skiing, and bonding as girls. When we got home Caesar had left a very clear message that he did not appreciate being left at home.

I will admit this was my fault. I had filled up our Costco boxes with our trash and left it at the foot of the stairs to take it out later. I forgot and left it there. Caesar some how managed to get out of his kennel and had his way with the trash.

To make sure that he is never left out again.

Ughhh.... Exhausting!

I came home and Caesar had guilt written all over him. Usually he begs for attention when we come home. This time he bolted out the door and I couldn't get him back inside. To his credit though he stayed off the bed and couches!

And this is what I recommend to any pet owner. Nature's Miracle will get rid of any stain! So fantastic! And this carpet powder keeps the house from smelling like a pet shop! Just a little FYI from me to you!

Happy 2 Years to Us!!!

Two years ago I married my Mister Wonderful! I took him off the market for good, sorry! While I will make this post about how incredible Drew is it will be in vain. Pretty sure Drew doesn't even know the URL to this site.

I would never have guessed I would marry someone so perfect for me. I don't think anyone else would have guessed either. I never had to pretend or act different. He just got me and I him.

This picture was from a surprise date Drew planned to the Lavendar Festival. Most amazing ice cream ever!

Who else would do the go through with all the crazy things that pop into my head? Like posing like this for a picture!

This is from our honeymoon in the Bahamas. Best vacation ever!

View from our hotel window.

The creatures we swam with.

These have been the best 2 years! Look what a good sport Drew is! Crawling into a dog kennel just because I want a picture, and loving onesie pajamas!

Thanks for being my best friend Andrew Panties! Here's to many, many more!

And to celebrate the 2 year anniversary symbol of cotton we got brand new pillows! Amazing!!!
