Bottle

Auburn can now sign for a bottle! It's super nice because she'll wake up and instead of crying, she just smiles and gives the bottle sign. Wahoo!

Last weekend, Jess, Auburn, and I (Greg) went to San Fransisco! Here we are at the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday!
Side Story: We actually didn't intend on driving over the bridge because it costs money, but one of the 30 or so wrong turns during the weekend led us that way! Needless to say, it was cool.



We stopped to say "hello" to the Oakland Temple. It (Saturday) was a beautiful day.

Here is Jess with her friend Kristen. Kristen and Kevin's wedding was the primary reason we went to San Fransisco. The wedding was fabulous. A big thanks to them for flying us out!

The highlight of the trip for me, besides the wedding of course, was sarching for the "Full House" house. This is the house according to one internet source, but it certainly doesn't look like what I remember. Anway...

We had a good time! Thanks for reading!

Auburn and the Furniture

Here is a link to our public picasa web album. This is especially for the Grandma's - they have been requesting to see baby Auburn in action.

Happy Friday everyone!

Auburn's Room

The baby room is done! We did yellow on yellow pin stripes, and it took us 3 days. It really was a fast project (compared to all the other projects that are sitting around our house right now).

The two colors we picked out were "pale daffodil" and "moonbeam". "Moonbeam" is the stripe color, and "pale daffodil" is the wall color. We started by measuring out the spacing for the stripes and marking them with a pencil by hanging a piece of blue painters tape with a weight on the end of it:

We then stuck the tape to the wall and traced the right edge down. Then we pulled off the tape and painted with the color "moonbean" over the top of the stripe. We did this twice, 6 hours apart from each other:

Then we did our blue tape trick again over the top of the "moonbeam" paint stripes. We tied a weight to the end of the blue painters tape until it lined up straight and pressed it down. As you can see in the picture we then took "moonbeam" and painted over the top of the blue tape. (We did this so that the wall color wouldn't bleed along the edges of the tape. It helps to make a nice clean line as you'll see later.):

Again, we waited for this to dry, and we painted the walls with "pale daffodil":



It took Greg and I one hour to do the first wall coat working together, and it took me two hours and twenty minutes to do the second coat by myself. When it was dry, we pulled off the blue painters tape......and........

As you can see in the Alice-in-Wonderland-picture it looks pretty nifty now!
