CHEERS...

To a happy, safe and healthy new year...

(boyfriends dream come true...a 16 oz pepsi)

I have lots of goals for this new year...but I wont bore you with them. I look forward to so may things this year...a new baby for sister (cant wait!) and I look forward to hearing what my Mister has to say to me. He is starting to talk so much, I just cant wait to hear all of his little thoughts. Things that make him happy and sad, I look forward to the sweet and even some of the naughty things he might say to me. I just love him.

We had a very merry Christmas. I love being with family. Mister was so cute and loved waking up to cousins everyday.

Happy New year...now I just have to get through the misery that is January and February in Utah.

Christmas PJs...

Lets start by discussing ironing...the photo below will forever haunt me because of the wrinkles. I iron EVERYTHING I put on my Mister...fanatically. Clothes always look so much better when they are ironed. 'But these are Pjs?!" you say...I say, they should have been ironed. They would have looked so much better in the photo. I know that is crazy to some but I blame my Mother. HA!

these are the jammies for the kids this year. I got the cute striped, organic cotton pjs from the Wallyworld and then I did all the kiddies initials in felt...top hat for the boys and a sprig of holly for the girls.

I have been working my buns off to get all my orders out. Did I bite off more than I can chew? Ummm...No?, but its not going to be easy getting all of these orders out. Thats what I have been doing. How is your holiday season going?

Last day...

Just a reminder that I will be closing the shop tonight...so get your orders in before then.

Thank you so much for your support and happy holidays from Lou and Lee.

Pleas hit play on this video while you read this post, you will be so romanced you wont know what to do...

Closing up shop...

Just a note to let you know that I will be closing the shop on Sunday, December 5th for the holiday season. Thank you for all of your support, and be sure to get your orders in before the shop is closed for a while!

Deck the halls...

I had so much fun decorating for Christmas this year...

My favorite thing is collecting vintage christmas treasures...

Im still obsessed with my vintage horse show ribbons...

I made this cute wreath with vintage what nots I have been collecting...

Here is the tree...How hard is it to get a good photo of a Christmas tree?...

I love my tree this year, I did it like my Great Grandma use to do her tree and collected all of the vintage ornaments.

My little village...

vintage hanging bells...

Black Sabbath...

(That's what Boyfriend calls it)

Don't forget to stop by Lou and Lee on Black friday...

17 months of joy...

Happy 17 months to my sweet Mister...I love him so much! He is such a chatter box and loves to repeat everything we say. Right now his favorite thing to say is, "see ya" when Boyfriend is leaving for work. Here are a few videos of him and his BFF Oscar, they play so cute together...

I have been such a lame blogger...but what can you do? I am going to pull all of my Christmas treasures out of storage tonight, its just like Christmas day for me when I get to go through my stuff! Ill post a few photos when its all done..

Safety first Yo...

I have been wanting to take a children's CPR class forever...The thought of something terrible happening, that I could have prevented if I would have been better informed FREAKS me. I was asking one of our good friends (who is a fire chief) where and how to go about this and he informed me that he use to teach the classes. So, I wanted to get a group together for him to come teach (and you know I will have some treats too). Let me know if you are interested...you can leave a comment or email me at louandlee{at}gmail.com.

Happy Halloween!

When I was in Las Vegas this Summer for daddy/daughter, I saw a little baby Elvis costume and I just knew that is what I wanted my Mister to be this year.

So my sweet and talented Mother whipped up the costume and I bejeweled it until my fingers almost fell off...

Can you believe the little guitar I found at a thrift store...I added the strap and it was perfect!

Isn't he handsome as the king...I could not believe how long he kept his wig on!

The cute kids, love every one of them...

A few iphotos from the night

And a few of the costume off after I finished the bejeweling...

Thanks for the photos Sarah, and for the fun and delicious bash Sissy!

Apple boy...

I sound ridiculous in this video, but Mister is so cute...

We went to Allred's today and got my favorite Fuji apples...and I made that Heath apple dip to go with them...heaven! Here is the recipe if you haven't tried it.

Heath bar apple dip

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup of brown sugar

1 t vanilla

3 (or more) heath bars broken up

apple wedges

cream together cream cheese, sugars and vanilla

stir in heath bar bits with a spoon.

Babies...

I cant even tell you how much I love our babies...they mean everything to me. I hope they are always kind, loving and best friends. They seriously love playing together...and with Unkie (boyfriend)...he's fun too.

Autumn...

It has been a beautiful fall around these parts...

book club...

It was so fun to host book club this month at my house. I loved meeting everyone...and, maybe the food was the main focus of the book club...but I liked it that way considering I didn't get around to the books. Cant wait for ROOM this month. Thank you everyone for coming!

(and thanks for the photos, leah?, becky?, sarah?) Not really sure.

Happy 30th birthday Sister! Our first birthday apart...but I know you are having such a good time. I love you so much and hope you have the best day.

Lately...

Before I say anything, can we talk about this photo?! Look at how happy my Mister is. I about cried when I saw this photo...nothing could make me happier that to see him so happy.

We went to the park with Sarah and Oscar...the boys had the time of their lives...seriously.

I started to decorate for halloween...Its crazy how different I have to do things now that I have the destroyer around. I hate taking photos because it always just looks like a big old mess. It turned out pretty cute anyway.

And my cute new coffee table that I got (early) for my birthday...I love it.

My boy "helping" me with the decorations...

This one goes out to the one I love...

Happy birthday to Boyfriend!!!

He is kind and sweet, and a perfect Dad.

I hope you have a wonderful day, you deserve it!
