The Little Skittles House

Okay I would like to give a shout out to my girl Smelly ( that is my sis Dani, I dont know why we call her smells, as far as I know she does not have issues with B.O. or anything like that.) After my last post she left a comment on how at first in some of the pictures it looked like there was some nice wood flooring that matched our book shelves, but she later realized that oh no, that is not wood that is booty ugly burnt orange carpet. So , while we are not in love with our burnt orange which is in the living and dinning rooms as well as the hallway, that is so not the worst of it. Here in the Skittles house ( as our frinds and the previous renters used to call it) we have a array of colors. Let me take you on a tour:

So first we have this very attractive shag neon green carpeting which is located in the spare bedroom which we use as the office/ workout equip/ storage room.

Next we have the bathroom which besides being really small and have no drawers only cabinets isnt that bad except it has a strange choice in bath color as you can see the um blue, which does have a matching sink .

Then we move on to the Master Bedroom( if thats what you can call it) the carpet is a lighter blue which isnt all that bad but then you look up to the top of the blue walls to find these guys watching you. Thats right all the way around the room you will find a lovely wallpaper boarder with an enchanting scene of deere and bare bushes. I guess it is fall though huh?We also have a very Modern and chic Kitchen which is a good size, really, and what could beat yellow countertops with matching yellow sink. On to my personal favorite of the Dining an kitchen areas is the flowery wallpaper topped of with none other then these beautiful hens and well, wreaths.

But that Is not all my friends, oh not that is not all. You see I have saved the feature that tops all the rest. It can be found in the girls room. I am still dumbfounded at where and why you would find a carpet such as this.

That is correct it is some kind of scottish tartan pattern that looks like an ugly throw blanket. ?

But there is something about the house that is really, truly beautiful. It is not actually in the house, but here it is!

Thats right we have a beautiful four peak view right out back. We really do love our view, this shot was taken one morning when Bailey woke me up at here usual way to early time, and I was lucky enough to look out the back window just before the sun came up over the mountains. I put me in a slighty less onery mood.

I hope you have enjoyed this tour of our beautiful rental. Maybe after seeing that you can think about the place you may be in at this time and maybe, just maybe you can hate it a little less knowing that someone else out there is living in a wierder and less attractively decorated home.

A few cute pics

The Ladies like to dress up in my clothes and have me take pictures.

Callie wanted me to take an action shot!

Here is Callie doing more of her Model poses.
And here is Little sis trying to do the same pose. She cracks me up sometimes.

Here she is trying another pose.

This pic is hilarious she ran out of regular panties, so I had to put these on her which are really the kind that come with a dress and I just thought it looked so funny.

This one is a favorite of mine it is from about a year ago. We have this old Barbie house that my folks made for me and my sis when we were little and it has a little open spot for barbie to go done the stairs. So Bailey climbed in and tried to go down them and got stuck. I was laughing so hard. Oh and she is wearing a diaper, just so ya know.

Biggest Loser Upset ...

... Well at least for me. Okay so last night on BL the blue team went to elimination and Jerry got the boot! Uh, what were they thinking. You may remeber from my previous post that Jerry is me old man hero. He kicked everybodys butt the first week. He was the team captain and a very hard worker and they gave him the ax, I was so mad at the blue team. They must have thought that he was too big of a threat. Geez. But good for Jerry he went home and lost more weight and has now lost a total of 88 pounds. Lookin good Jerry, you rock old man.

Kindygardens 1st Fieldtrip!

Callie had her first fieldtrip last thursday. She came home with the permission slip about a week before and she told me there was a trip but that I had too much to do around the house so I cant go. I assured her that I would be able to make time in my busy schedule and I would be going. She tried to convince me that I had to much house work,(ha ha) but the only thing she convinced me of was that she didnt want her Mommy tagging along. It took a little time and a few more excuses like " but my friends dont know you and they might be scared," but I talked her into letting me go.

So on thursday I took Bailey to Grandmas and met up with the Kindergartoners for a fun filled trip to Teton Canyon to find signs of fall and enjoy nature. They split up all the kids so that each mom had a few and since there were so many moms we all got 2 or 3 kids. I got 2. Callie and Shelby. They each had a bag and a magnifying glass and had to find some interesting things to put in the bag for show and tell the next day. We ladies had a good time. Found some cool things, and had a nice little hike. We only had one, oh actually two falls on the rocks in the creek. One had no crying and the other had a very dramatic show ending in " I never want to come here again!" Ill give you a hint, it wasnt my kid. So, the group I was in charge of ended up with the only two wet , dirty butts on the trip. Thats what this pic is of. Can you tell? The one on top show Callies new love for modeling. Nice Pose, huh? There's plenty more where that came from.

Okay so there is this dress at Anthropologie that I am OBSESSED with. I want it so bad I look at it all the time. The only problem is that I cant afford it! So if anyone wants to donate to the Get Michelle A Dress Fund it would be much appreciated! Okay so Iam joking about the fund, but I really do want it along with a lot of other beautiful things from Anthropologie. Seriously does that storenot have the best clothes?

Biggest Loser Premiere!

Okay so my favorite show was on last night and it was so awesome . For those of you that Dont watch (how can you not watch)- meet Jerry. Jerry is 62 years old which makes him pretty old and makes him the oldest biggest loser contestant thus far. The thing I like about Jerry is that kicked trash!

He was awesome! Not only did he win the race to the trainers to see who would be captain of the two teams, but then he lost 31 pounds at weigh in, making himself the highest one week weigh in loss in BL history! Way to go Jerry! Bobs team won the weigh in thank to Jerry and Kae. And Kims team sent home this chick (cant remember the name) who was the last person to get to the trainers in the race and , bless the red team captain, was picked for the team because she needed to be there obviously more than most the others. But she ended up getting sent home because by the end of the first workout( and Im sure more after that) she whined that she couldnt do it and wanted to go home. I mean come on!

The only thing I thought was lacking from the 2 hour show was that they did not show the secret Black teams initial weigh in. It was still awesome though! Cant wait til next time.

Homecoming Fun!

Last week was the high school homecoming, and with Josh being the freshman football coach we got to enjoy some of the festivities. Thursday was the freshman game, which sadly they lost.

After the Frosh game was the Powder Puff game between the Junior and Senior girls . The Seniors kicked butt. I must say I was very impressed with the girls football ability. I could never play as well as they did. There was a group of boys that filled in as cheerleaders and they were hilarious. They cheered the whole game and even did a halftime show. Some of them were very into it. There was one that looked like Jon Heder did in Blades of Glory.

This is Callie getting into the Excitement.

So then on Friday high school has a parade on Main Street which drew quite a crowd. Mostly it was the Elementary school kids who were very cute waiting for the parade dancing and tring to get all the big trucks that passed to do thier horns. They would all scream and cheer with excitement after every horn. It really was cute.

Bailey Waiting for the Parade.

Josh was in charge of the faculty float.( it is a tradition to make the new guy have that responsibility,not too tough though.)

All the Royalty couples went through the parade on the hood of different cute cars. and the classes were on the flatbed semis.

Then that night was the Varsity football game which they lost, but they did really good, they only lost by like a point or two. I dont know. I cant remember the point sytem and stuff. So um yeah, good times in a small town!
