An art project...finally!

I saw this art project idea here and I wanted to give it a try with my girls. We didn't use water colors instead we just watered down some washable paints. Here is the final result... Allison's Tree
Emma's Tree

Our New Place

Last weekend we moved into the building where Ben works. It is really nice and we are loving it even though it is very different from our old place. We are still close enough to visit our friends but have lots of new fun things to explore in Little Italy. We went to the farmers market today and I can tell that is going to become a Saturday morning tradtion. There is a guy who makes these amazing crepes...yum! We still aren't totally unpacked but here are some pictures of our home, except the bedrooms...those will come later.
Living Room.
Living room...seriously I think we have every shade of wood imaginable in our home...which I guess means anything and everything matches :)

Allison picked out some flowers at the market, thye really brightened up our table.


Our street view. Kitchen...I love my crushed ice and my double oven!

Dining Area

This is the girls favorite place to eat and color, no one has fallen off the stools...yet.

Mormon Battalion Celebration

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted but I have been a little busy with the move. Yes you read that right we moved...again! We didn't go to far just downtown to live in the building where Ben works. Once we are unpacked I will post some pictures of our new place. But until then here are some pictures from a couple weekends ago when we went to the Mormon Battalion celebration in Old Town.
The parade.
Aren't my little pioneer girls cute?
The girls got to pan for gold and make dolls. Emma didn't want to leave.
