P.S. I got a new follower today!! :D YAY!! Welcome to my blog... I hope you enjoy reading about my hubby and I's fun adventurous life! ha. :)

Happy Birthday Sissy!! :)

February 3rd was my sister, Sheena's birthday! :)

It was so great! :)

Here she is! The lovely 23 year old! :) haha.

We had my mom's homeade chicken noodle soup, which is AMAZING!! And her homeade jam on homeade rolls! :)

Then Tyler did an experiment on Rusten (this is how our house always is, full of crazy things.. haha. You do this in your family too right? hahaha.)

So you put bread on bare skin and stick matches in it.

You light the matches.

You put a jar on it and apply some pressure..

It sucks your skin in like a vacuum.

Then it is stuck on you! haha.

And it takes forever to get off.. but when you do get it off, it leaves a hickey looking thing. haha.

Well we had German Chocolate Cake :)

Play by play blowing out her candles :)

Us couples :D

The girls:

It was a super fun day and party to celebrate with Sheena and all the family... well most of them haha.

{Oh and that night, the cheerleaders performed and did SO good! :D}

Have a great night! :)

tractor ride + pumkin fall wreath tutorial!

So a few nights ago I went to ride in the tractor with Austin!

They are working some new ground, so Aust had to disc up all the sagebrush....

Ya... I know I'm legit... I know farm terms.. haha. Jk! I still mess up a lot of them.. dang it! haha.

Well here are some pics of the tractor ride for you to enjoy! :)

Now for the Pumpkin Fall Wreath Tutorial!!

So... I got the idea off pinterest... BUT there was no tutorial because it was from etsy... so my sister Sheena and I got together and made up our own way of the wreath which I LOVE!! :D

So first you buy that Geo-Mesh stuff that you can find in your local craft store.. mine is Porter's :)

We used two spool things of the orange and then 1/2 to 1 yard of the greens, and 1/4 yard of the brown... and this was for two... so if you are just making one, you only need half that! :)
So then you cut all the pieces out! How we did it was we cut down the middle of the goe-mesh until we got to the end, and then we cut like 6 inch strips :) haha.

Then you turn on your handy hot glue gun!

Then start glueing ... starting around the back of the styrafoam!

Oh ya... we bought a ball of styrafoam and cut it in half :)

( i used a pen when I first put it on the glue because it was burning my fingers off.. haha.)
So you glue them along the back of the styrafoam, but not all the way around, you leave a little space for the green.

Then you start glueing on the front.

And then you'll keep going until you have all the orange on there. I would glue them right next to the other, and Sheena kinda spaced hers out. So it's really your own preference.

We took pictures of both of us, but I looked sick so I'm not gonna put them on. ha. If you want to see pics of us when we did the wreath go to Sheena's blog.. haha.

Then once you have the orange on there with a little space, you glue the green on the back and the top front.

Then you all more orange to finish off and I had to use a pen at the end because my finger couldn't reach.. haha.

So here is the top finished!

It's a huge wreath and I love it!!

Then to hang it on your door, take a thick piece of string or something that is sturdy and hot glue it to the back! :) Then stick it on your door and WHALA!! :D

side view!

It's such a cheerful wreath and it's so fun to make!! :) and everyone will love it!! :)

Let me know if you make one! :)

Have a great friday!

snacks + days

So First off...

Austin took this picture and told me to put it on my blog. haha.

He said it's the Amish Cake cousins.

He went home teaching and brought home a piece of vanilla Amish Cake to put by our Chocolate Amish cake. hahaha.

And we figured they are 5th cousins because 5 starts ago, they were the same start. haha. :)

Then my hubby also took this random picture of me opening the dishwasher.

I didn't even know he took it until I was looking at pictures last night! haha.

He's so funny :)

Then I just had to put up a picture of the chicken spaghetti I made! Austin loves it! :)

I like it a lot too... I just wish I didn't put as much onions in it that it called for because I don't like onions...

you're probably wondering now, "Well Aubree, why did you plant onions in your garden?"

Austin talked me into it, and they give a good flavor... I just don't like the BITING into an onion.. EWWW!!!!! haha.

(except f it's an onion ring.. I love those! I'm weird I know.. haha.)

But this spaghetti was MIGHTY TASTY!! YUM TO MY TUM!! :D

Last night for dinner, we just had a snack dinner.

I made some wrap bites!

which are super easy. Cream Cheese and the ranch powder mix stuff and mix it together and spread on tortilla shell.. then put lunch meat on top, roll it up, cut it up and BAM! You've got wrap bites! :)

Then I made Caramel Popcorn! and we watched Where the Red Fern Grows :)

It was my first time seeing it, and it may or may not have made me cry... that's for you to keep guessing :) haha.

But this is the caramel I made...

It's really easy too!

It's my family secret though.... if you'd like the recipe it might take a lot of begging...

:) But it is DELISH!!

Now.... here are some days....

I get up, get ready...

and then I take a picture or two to make sure I look fine.... haha.

My sister Sheena always teased me about it when we were stilll at home..

But now I bet she does it too because it works! haha. Just Kidding! I highly doubt she does :)

She just is always gorgeous and doesn't need a picture to prove it! haha. :)

Well today I got a little bored, so I started shaping my eyebrows because I haven't taken care of them since my wedding day, so they were a little out of control... haha. then I got sick of being inside, so I went outside and started taking A MILLION pictures for fun while hubby's at work! :)

I take pictures for fun and of everything if you couldn't already tell :) haha.

Have a great day!

*Aubree*

FedEx.

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!

Austin and I have been waiting for this for like 2 weeks!!

We ordered a sweet headboard for our bed and lately we've been thinking maybe it got lost or something.

Well this morning Austin came home to eat a little breakfast and go right back to work and right before he left there was a knock at the door!

We both got big eyes!

I was jumping and was like, "AUSTIN MAYBE IT'S THE FEDEX GUY!!!"

Austin peeks out the window and says excitedly, "YES IT IS!!!!"

WOOHOO!!!!!

We answer the door and he tells us he has heavy boxes and so Austin and him haul them in from the garage!

We set them in the middle of our house and right once the FedEx guy left, we started ripping one of the boxes open! :)

Our headboard finally came!!! OH YA!

Now I just need to finish my bedspread and then we'll have our room finished!! YAY!!

Here is a picture of this morning for you to enjoy! :)

Have a grat day and if you're waiting for the FedEx guy and you're thinking he won't come... JUST WAIT!!! The longer you have to wait, the more excited you get!! haha. :)

AND... today I am taking a quick trip to Utah to take my brother-in-law to get his and Sheena's new car!! YAY! :)
