Our Hobby

Yesterday Jer and I started our yearly tradition of going to the Salt Lake Parade of Homes. We typically love it and Jer takes millions of pictures of things we like so we know what we want when we build our final home. Well, needless to say, we were a little disappointed. The only highlights for the entire day of looking at houses was we found an awesome theater room that I intend to pattern ours after and I loved the upstairs (and ONLY the upstairs) of one house where there were three gigantic kids rooms with a little loft area for them to have a play area and this was all right off of a HUGE craft and scrapbook area that was decked out to the hilt. I LOVE THAT! We did see a really big gaudy house in South Jordan that wasn't even livable...I don't know why they chose any of the finishes that they did...seriously, walking through it I was more irritated than anything. It was still fun though because my MIL and SIL Kylee went with us, which is nice because they help with Ethan and it's fun because I can almost instantly tell which room Kylee would claim for her own if that were her house. In yesterday's case it was the one that had two or three different colors of pink (puke) and black and white zebra stripes (hurl). Seriously, it burnt my retinas. I had to immediately leave the room. But here are a couple pictures of things I did like. We're off again tomorrow to see more...hopefully we have a better experience!


My cute little playa.





This is part of that room I was talking about. First of all--GOO! But notice the look on Kylee's face. She loves it.




It's hard to tell, but this is the theater room that totally rocks!! I can't tell you how many times Ethan and Kylee jumped into those Love Sacs!



This is half...yes, I said half, of the amazing craft room that WILL be in my next home. Isn't it awesome??
