Updates in the Little Basement

Now that we have pictures up on our walls I finally feel like our little basement is getting close to being finished the way that I want.  Although, a few minutes ago when I mentioned that to Bryce he responded with raised eyebrows, "Sweetie, I don't think you'll ever be all the way 'finished' with our house."

He's probably right.  I always come up with something else I "need" for our house.  A new rug, curtains, cuter pillows, a new chair, a wicker hamper and retro garbage can (my most current wants needs), etc.  But actually I really do love how it has turned out.  Especially on hard days when nothing goes well I come home and think, "At least my house is cute."

Anyway here are a few pictures of the most recent updates:

The big canvas print above the TV I ordered from easycanvasprints.com and I LOVE it.  It turned out so good.  The silhouettes are from Disneyland.  My mother in law was getting rid of the little orange chair so I snatched it up and found a home for it.  The coat rack was an ugly brass one I picked up at salvation army for $5 and spray painted.

I added a picture above each of our nightstands and sewed a matching curtain, accent pillow, and used some of the extra fabric to make a wreath I hung on out bedroom door.

The little wooden chair and floral jar I picked up at a thrift store too, for both about $5 each.
 I think decorating and fixing up our little apartment has become my favorite hobby.

Disneyland!

Last weekend Bryce and I took a little trip to the happiest place on earth.  We flew to California Friday morning and flew back to Utah Monday night, and spent a total of 32 hours at Disneyland in that short span of time.

It was so nice only having two of us!  We were able to hit all but maybe 4 or 5 of the little kiddy rides at both Disneyland and California Adventure and we saw Fantasmic, World of Color, and the Fireworks show all on Saturday night.  We had so much fun and we were completely exhuasted by the end. Que picture overload:

It was a perfect trip with my best friend and such a nice break from work and all our other responsibilities.  I want to go back already...maybe next year ;)

Wedding Pictures

We finally got our wedding pictures back.  They turned out lovely.  Bryce is a little sick of me saying "Come here!  Look how cute we look in this one!!"  But it has been fun reliving the day a little through the pictures. 

Here are just a "few" of my favorites:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I just need to decide which ones we want to print.  It's so hard though, I love so many!  I think I'll just have to have fifty pictures from my wedding day on my walls.

Happy 4th

Our day was lovely.  It was so nice to have a day off right in the middle of the work week.  We had a breakfast of pancakes eggs & bacon with our ward first thing in the morning.  After breakfast we headed to Morgan to watch the parade and spend the day with my family.

The only let down to the day was there were no fireworks in Morgan due to all of the wildfires in Utah.  So instead of fireworks we had snowcones and watched Hugo with lots of cuddling.

Our first 4th of July being married was kind of perfect.  Holidays spent with your best friend are hard to beat.

As of late

Things have been pretty busy in the Leishman household as of late... 

We have been having picnics & flying kites,

Discovering a few good finds at thrift stores,

Making homemade pizzas every Saturday night,

Swimming at pine view,

and taking trips to the temple.

Life is busy but oh so good.
