{ Parker & Mackenzie's Engagement Photos }

Zoom Zoom Zoom!

This wedding stuff is happening FAST, we've always told our kids when you find the right one there is no reason to have a super long engagement. When you know you know am I right?!

They found a photographer super quick and got their engagement photos done and they turned out pretty great!! July 31st will be here before we know it!

{ Parker & Mackenzie Are Engaged! }

 Well, they did it! 

The wedding date is planned for July 31st in the Merdian Idaho Temple.

It was pretty cute how Parker had it all planned out. Mackenzie and her friend were going to the park to go hang out together for a girl's night out. Parker snuck into the park and surprised Kenzie with the proposal. Her friend was in on the whole thing. 

Dang, my kids are growing up too fast I think we need to stop blinking. 

Congratulation to the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Berry

{Parker: "So there's this girl... }

So Parker has been dating this cutie!

Her name is Mackenzie and I think things are progressing pretty quickly. We may have another wedding to prepare for. It's pretty exciting to watch your children grow into adults and then watch them find their perfect match. 💗

{ CHRISTMAS DECOR 2020 }

 So the holidays were a quick blur (am I alone here?) and having no snow made it just seem well, not as Christmasy if that makes any sense. 

But to help combat that - we decorate!! 

I should add, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas decor, it does seem to make everything around just a little more cheery. But, I also am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas colors. Don't get me wrong I love a good neutral decor and have seen so many bloggers/Instagrammers with gorgeous neutral holiday decor. But there is just something about red and white that just gives that extra POP to our home. My home is a neutral palette for most of the year so why not go all out for Christmas. And yes, I even decorate our 1 lone bathroom. 

I DIY flocked my Christmas tree 3 years ago and I still LOVE it! I bought it from Wal-Mart back in 2008 on clearance, she has been a great tree for our small living room. She's skinny, tall and we have thoroughly enjoyed it every single year.

Wool Felt Balls from my Etsy shop are a must on our tree!

Ahhh these Felt balls are my favorite!

{ "New" Hairpin Leg Desk }

 So during the "plandemic" we found that we needed more workspace for our kiddos to do online school work and the only one without his own space was Corbin. So Brinley and I happened to drop by the thrift store to see what they had and I found this sad $3.00 desk for sale. I snatched it up as I couldn't pass up those hairpin legs and I knew we could make it look so much better. 

With a little scrap lumber, leftover stain, and some sanding it looks so much better and it's holding up great. We have since added handles to the drawer fronts.

 I'll have to see if I can get a better photo of it, but the boy's room only has 1 window and the lighting in their room leaves much to be desired. ;)

{ Brinley's High School Graduation }

 So this chicka graduated all whilst the world was dealing with the "plandemic".

Our high school did a drive-through graduation, Brinley to this day (I'm writing this in June 2022) still feels like she didn't graduate as it was so out of the norm of how graduation should go. Thanks, Covid... 

We had planned a whole party and invited all the peoples but with covid things got canceled. BUT, cute Jentry & Markelle surprised us all and showed up as a huge surprise. They made Brinley cry as she thought no one was coming. Grandma Merrill was also able to come. 

Here are a few shots from her "big" day.

4 years at this High School and all she got was this stinking bag of trash at the end of the year. lol
