Happy Birthday Levi! Seems like we just celebrated your birthday, right?!
He spent all day finishing up the front of my barn, it's looking so good. We got rained out in the evening... good timing because we were burning up all day long. We went to dinner afterwards ♥

got my orders out first thing this morning...
came back from the post office and raked a million leaves!
front yard only. i'll have to get the backyard maybe monday. there is so many leaves! almost wish i would have raked in the fall, but no big deal. i'm too ocd to get every single leaf, ha ha!
but guess what! there is green grass under all those leaves...so the faster i rake, the faster we'll have green grass. plus i feel like i'm combing the ground...the grass needs a good combing right?! i'm so funny i know.

we ventured out to civilization today!
and about 2 feet of green leaves all over the excursion and the ground. the last of the green!
we weren't planning on going so we left later... actually i was trying to plan on going by myself! ha! but it's hard to leave my family behind ;)
and this is what HANGRY looks like!
we got lucky and got to catch the tail end of georgia's last volleyball game! we miss you georgia!
and then 3 DOTTERS! what i was trying to sneak away too. it's always fun to see jen and her eclectic show ♥ #3dottersvintagemarket and how cute is this soda truck! follow them over at The Soda Truck, they just started their business. apple beer, yes! #thesodatruckut

woke up this morning...started to pull out the blender and i knocked over the pyrex measuring cup, instantly shattered every where! did this a few weeks ago too, with the larger one. after i got the glass taken care of, started to make my shake and threw the banana peels in the blender and the bananas in the trash, ahhh.
so you could say things are going great this morning! then i went for a bike ride, and told myself i wasn't going to switch gears, (my bike needs fixed...the gears are all messed up)but then i had too and of course it was jacked up. so i left my bike up the canyon road and walked back home. better safe than sorry, didn't want to wreck on the way down. time for a new bike!
well at least i can count on gulianna. she has been watching her crafty carol youtube videos that she loves! except we only have a tv in our bedroom with a roku box, and so she has her crafty mess all over my bed and floor. yesterday i told her no more projects, she can watch the show and then make it in my studio or elsewhere... so i caught her watching it, and then crafting in the hallway. so funny, she really does listen!
i guess i got to take some pictures on the way down since i was walking :)
and came home to these little rascals...

the first busiest day of the whole year in our small town, heritage day. got the first sneak peek of the art squared paintings last night...loved this painting of this old country path, now i wish i would have bid on it!
because you know i love a good ol raggedy ann doll and vintage cowboy boots ♥
love kathy peterson's paintings, and especially her frames.
got up early this morning...only a few hours of sleep, finished pricing more items for my sale over at the old school, and then lunch prep at our church. my mom and dad, and chelsey came down late last night for this weekend, glad they are here!
the kids and my mom and chelsey got to ride in this cool classic car! never get in a stranger's car when they offer you a ride, unless it's a bel air, ha ha! (and you're with your aunt and grandma)
my favorite artist...randall lake! love that his place just down the street. they added these awesome shutters inside ♥
hhello lovely vintage quilts ♥
i love our small town...so many charming stone homes and buildings. we got a sneak peek of the third floor of the old school...they have done so much work, it looks so good!
and my favorite barn...some day, we will have one too! going to give up some garden space for it, levi put it in the plans last year, can't wait!
and the biggest miracle of all! we didn't get rain at all, even though it was forecasted, all the surrounding areas got poured on...while our little town was protected with good weather and sunshine until the evening.

yes...simply lovely, right? so perfectly aged, and i love the bright seafoam green paint...and scallops! we have so many charming old houses all around. i love old homes, definitely one of a kind, and i love to see their personal style reflect on the outside too.
today we went to a few yard sales around town, and then to ephraim to a swap meet that snow college was putting on. picked up a few vintage books, and old rusty metal box and ice cream for the kids!
small town saturday outings ♥ #thesimplelife #countrylife

love this little town. and seriously. i NEED this building. some day. some day! the owners were in town today and their studio was open, so marci got to peek inside. they recently had a flood, so they had to gut it out and redo the back walls and floor. they had wanted levi to do the job, but he was already booked. so glad the front main wood floor was not damaged, i love it!
had lunch and a good visit with marci today, she's the sweetest! and i finally met her daughters, they are so pretty ♥

we got up this morning and ran a mile together for the elementary school's first "turkey trot" fun run! i had to explain to gulianna that it was a running race, because she thought there was some fun with turkeys!
isabella did a pretty good job, however lots of whining in between...we did leave her behind a few times. gulianna and i ran most of the way, we had to stop and wait for isa. then at the very end i told gulianna to just run as fast as she could to finish the race! levi pushed the boys in the stroller. they had a drawing at the end and we won lots of gift certificates. after we headed over to the church, it was our turn to clean it as a family. gulianna has been waiting for our turn, she loves to help out. and of course they like to sneak in the primary room and sing in the microphone :)

levi came home from being in kanab for work for the week and decided to have some family time at the park. we ate pizza and played with these little rascals until it was time to go to the movies: big hero 6! anthony has been ever so impatiently waiting to watch this movie, and then he got scared during the show, what?!
