A fugly chair redo...

A friend was having a garage sale (like a year ago) and I fell in love with these chairs. Who wouldn't, right? I had big plans for these chairs. I found a bolt of fabric at a garage sale for $10 and away we went. My husband had the job of ripping up that purty orange fabric and put the gorgeous brown on.


The finished product. The pillows are made from place mats.


The best part of the chair is it's super comfy! The large pillow is made with down. Lauryn thinks it's nice and comfy!

I have another purty orange chair if anyone is interested. We think one is enough for us, plus I have major plans for the rest of the fabric.

A photo shoot

Our pretty girls! I have a bunch more to go through. I'm pretty happy with how the pics turned out. Lauryn was completely uncooperative. She just wanted to chase the ducks but she looks pretty darn cute doing it.

Fall Ball

Landree started fall ball in September and still has a couple weeks left. She is playing with the same team as last spring, the Dodgers. She has improved and the games are fun to watch. Their tournament was a couple weeks ago. The same tournament the girls took first in last spring. They took second this time. They really should have had first. The umpire called a girl safe on first when she was clearly out by both teams. It was the 3rd out in the last inning. Very frustrating but after 5 games we're still super proud of the girls!

She has been playing all over in the field, including pitcher and catcher, her favorites.




Isn't her assistant coach super cute?

Trick-or-Treat

Lauryn was very content with a sucker and riding in the wagon.

Our friends son, Austin, was Buzz Lightyear.


Landree glowed like an angel with a neighbors black light.

More friends, Mia and Angeli, were a sunflower and bumble bee.

Lauryn's little stinger.

Halloween Dinner and Treats

Our neighbors, BJ and Liana, made an amazing chili and mummy dogs for the girls.


Nichole made the brain dip.

And spider crackles (I think that's what they're called) They are made with an Australian ingredient. Very tasty!

Halloween (Friday night activities)

Friday night we went to a Fall Festival at our church. The girls went through a haunted house without getting scared and also played in a bounce house.

My little black kitty,

an angel,

and a buzzing bee made the night complete!
