Chalkboard Art

I am really getting into this chalkboard art stuff! I have seen it all over Pinterest (I'm overly addicted to that website).  About a year ago Kaden made me this chalkboard and up until today I haven't even touched it. But that is all about to change because I LOVE it! 

My first piece of art. 

I struggled a little at first but I am starting to get the hang of it. I can't help but to smile every time I walk past it :) 

There is ALWAYS something to be Thankful for

I came across this saying on Pinterest a couple weeks ago and fell in love! Sometimes in this crazy thing called life we can get so caught up and forget to take a minute and be greatful for what we have. I have to admit I am definitely guilty of this! I often over look the fact that we have cars that get us to and from work or wherever we need to be. Or that we have food to eat and a roof over our heads. I am thankful for Family, I have learned just how important Family can be in the past few months and it has strengthened me in ways I never thought possible. I am very thankful for the Gospel, without it I would be lost in this world. Most of all I am thankful for my Husband! The love I have for him is more than I ever thought possible. I really can't imagine my life with him. (a little mushy? I know, but it's so true!) 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

I've recently joined the world of people who start decorating for Christmas BEFORE Thanksgiving. It's so bad! I kept telling myself "let's just get through thanksgiving and then we can put up the tree" well, I FAILED. Tonight I made Honemade Chicken Noodle Soup (minus the noodles! I am not that ambitious;) we'll stick with store bought for now) and we broke out the boxes of Christmas decor! Can I just say how much I Love Christmas? I love decorating for the Holidays, hot cocoa, shopping, getting to wear scarves and boots, Family Parties and snuggling on the couch with like 5 blankets! I am a blanket lover! Hence the overflowing basket of blankets we have:) (if you have ever been to our house I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!) 

I think every year we have been married I've decorated our tree different! I can't help but want to change it up every year. This year I we did burlap! And by WE I mean I did all the work while Kaden put minimal effort into watching me decorate it. 

So here it is! 

The Roberts Christmas Tree 2013

Jackson Hole

We had so much fun in Jackson Hole we were sad to go! We stayed at the Parkway Inn. It was so cute! Here's a picture of it. 

We did lots of walking around to look at all the shops they have. Kaden was in heaven seeing all the antlers and deer, elk and moose statues/mounts. We went to Ripleys Believe it or Not that we just happen to find when we were walking around. 

Worlds biggest Cigar! 

This train was made entirely of match sticks. 

Wedding dress made out of toilet paper. 

There was 4 of these long walls covered with belt buckles. Kinda cool! 

Shopping in Jackson 

This hat was only $400! 

Of course we had to get our picture by the Antler Arch.

And my favorite picture... :) 

Did I mention I'm obsessed with Moose?

So far we have loved Jackson Hole! The first time we came together was three years ago for my families summer vacation. Crazy to think that was really three years ago! While shopping today Kaden spotted this Moose Nativity. I know:) I even tried to tel myself I didn't need it but Kaden insisted we get it and I wasn't going to argue with that;) look at the baby one! 

Thanks babe! I can't wait to get home to set it up:) 

It's finally Friday!

Kicking off our weekend with a treat for the road! 

We've been waiting for this trip since June and it's finally here! Headed to Jackson Hole for a 3 day getaway/very late anniversary trip! Couldn't be more excited to spend some time with that sweet hubby of mine. More pictures to come;) 

10 Things you may or may not know about Me

1. I LOVE just about anything with Peanut Butter. 

2. I secretly love listening to books on CD. I have never been a book reader! 

3. I think its safe now to admit that I fell in Love with my mother-in-law before my husband. (she was like a mother I never had! I do love my own mom just so were clear on that.) Sorry Kaden!

4. It's hard for me to FORGIVE people. Once you've done me wrong I want nothing to do with you. (Something I am working on!)

5. I always feel the need to buy a new pair of shoes. It drives my husband crazy at times.

6. I would do anything for my siblings. Even if it meant I had to give my own life. I love them like they are my own. 

7. My dream job would be an Interior Designer. I have a passion for it!

8. I worry too much about things I can't control.

9. I am deathly afraid of snakes, spiders and grasshoppers. Life would be so much better without them.
