Bedding and Vacation

We found our baby bedding!!

These are the pictures of the ad from which we purchased.  We found it on Craigslist!  It's brand new, and custom made.  The girl I bought it from thought she was having a boy, but found out later it was a girl, so she bought different bedding- SO- this is new!  The lady SHE bought it from makes bedding and sells it at Canton- a HUGE flea market here in East Texas.  I got it for a killer deal!  We are so excited.  Our crib is a dark cherry wood-- not this light colored crib in the pictures.  Paxton is assembling the crib as we speak, then I can get the bedding on there!

We got back last night from a week long vacation in Idaho & Utah visiting my family!  It was a much needed and very enjoyable, relaxing vacation!  

I left Saturday morning and flew to Boise arriving around 3pm.  At the beginning it was just supposed to be MY trip home to ID/UT, but 3 hours after I arrived in Boise, my sweet husband showed up knocking at my sister's doorstep!!  I was THRILLED!  It was the biggest surprise and I was so happy he was going to be spending my vacation with me!  He is so sneaky.  Before I had left, he kept saying- What am I gonna do without you for a week? and he talked about his plans and stuff.. just totally deceiving me.  It was a good surprise.  

So we stayed in Boise for a few days with Anjeannette and visited my bro-Luke and kids who I hadn't seen in a couple years!  My mom met us in Boise Sunday night and then Tuesday morning drove us to Idaho Falls-HOME!  We got to visit my other brothers there and my parents-of course.  Friday morning we left for Utah and visited temple square and the conference center, got to see an old roomie-Jamie- then met up with family the rest of the time.  I brought a pattern for the purse/bag that I've made before and I helped all my cute nieces sew their own purses!  That's basically all we did Saturday- it took a long time instructing the girls, cutting & sewing 4 purses!!  But they turned out super cute!  It was a really relaxing vacation.  Not a whole lot planned, but a lot of sitting and laying around and watching movies and chatting.  We had a great time.  By the time we got home, we were so tired we hit the sack at 9pm. It was really hard to wake up Monday morning to go to work!  Ugh.  BUT- it must happen, so we are moving along.

I didn't get tons of pictures of the trip - but here's a few.
