Combo Pack

Day's 3, 4 and 5....
We took the pictures, but I forgot to post them! 

You know can have three for the price of one!

 He said something not so nice to me right before he took the picture...thus my face.

 We went for a drive and stopped to take some pictures with the cool shadows. Not perfect (cause you can totally see the phone) but it's cute!

We also found this really awesome neighborhood above 1300 east. You can't tell, but it is a really GREAT view of the Valley.

I guess I'll be posting later today for Day 6...... this might be a little annoying to do for 60 days......

We Work Out

Day 2: 

We worked out together today! I ran while Zac did his man thing. I liked it! I wanted to take a picture of us in our git-up and all sweaty.... but I forgot.

Surprise, surprise

 So you get the sleepy-eyed-face-biting us. 

This Just In....

THIS MORRELL FAMILY DOES NOT TAKE PICTURES TOGETHER!

We are a disgrace to the name

I decided last night that Zachary (my husband) and I do not have very many (23 to be exact) photos with together in our four years. We just aren't good at it. That's why we are going to take a little journey down picture lane.. I am beginning my next blog project entitled....

60 Days of 60 Smiles

Starting May 21, 2012

Day 1: 

Zac just got home from work (9:30 pm) while I was in the middle of watching the Bachelorett...just another Family Night in the Morrell home. 

Feeling a Bit More Grown Up

We did it... .......We moved!

(In less than 4 hours) 

This new place is fantastic! I feel more grown up here.

Feeling Grown Up Reason #1--- Zac and I both agree we feel like we can cook in this kitchen. Yesterday I made tacos because of all the room in there! It isn't HUGE, but compared to our first place it's HUGE.

Feeling Grown Up Reason #2---We have laundry... under the same roof we sleep under! I love not having to drag it to the car and then from the car to where ever. 

Feeling Grown Up Reason #3-- We have a patio! It is small, but still....you can put chairs out there and maybe some day a grill! My bike Kermytt lives out there right now. He seems happy to be outside and not stuck in our room. 

Feeling Grown Up Reason #4-- We have TWO bedrooms AND TWO bathrooms! Holllaaaaaa

Feeling Grown Up Reason #5-- There are two couches in our family now. Thank you Jackie ;D

Feeling Grown Up Reason #6-- Our food storage has begun thanks to food left! Whoop Whoop!

Feeling more grown up is a fun feeling. Too bad feeling grown up comes with more responsibilities and bills.... Now... I just need to win the lottery.

Pictures coming soon.

Happy Wednesday!

P.S Ally and Dan will be our first visitors-- Gotta  love double dates!

I am Becoming Domestic

I have made a little goal of getting as much blogging is as I can while I am off track. But it is not going very well. I have spent most of this week subbing for my team so I am beat at the end of the day. However, I have been up to a few 'domestic' things. It has been bugging me for a few days that my picture frames in the living room don't match. Soooooo.. I got some spray paint and made them all BLACK! crafty item number one. 

Crafty item number 2 is my greatest accomplishment that makes me feel all fuzzy inside. 

My oldest niece, Eliza Grace Bratt, is turning eight here in just a few weeks. We are going to make the trek to Colorado to be there for her baptism. Being that it is her eighth birthday I wanted to get her some special gifts, just from her Crazy Aunt Katie... and uncle Zac. 

I decided that one of my gifts had to have something to do with temples. I thought it was a GREAT idea because she is taking the first step in that directions. So last week Zac and I went to the book store and I picked out a cute picture of the Salt Lake Temple (her fav.) and Zac found a book with A.L.L the temples in it. She loves to read and he picked a winner for sure. As we were walking around the store I got a little choke up. 

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS TURNING EIGHT!

Part two of her gift are these. 

Sorry the pictures are upside down, but you get the idea.

Yes I made them! Out of T-shirts!!! How 'domestic' am I?! Zac said he can tell I am really proud of myself, which I am. I have made two for me, one for Crazy Clara who is going to PERU on her mission on SEPTEMBER! Three for Eliza and one for her littler sister (the black one) because she is going to want some attention and it is WAY too small for Eliza. I think I really like these because it takes 10 minutes tops. I suffer from instant gratification when it comes to being crafty. Which explains the spray paint....... 

Next project, Sharda gave us her old Tv. stand that I want to paint  blue... or green..... or both!

The end of May is going to be straight C.R.A.Z.Y. Going back on track to do end of the year testing, Ally and Dan's wedding, moving, unpacking, BreAnne comes home from her mission and Colorado trip. We move in t-minus 4 days. Anyone want to loan us a truck?

I know, I know.. It has been forever since I have blogged. 9 weeks to be exact. Do you know what that means? I AM OFF TRACK! Staying up late, spending more time with my sexy amazing husband and sleeping in is what I am up to now. Dear sweet Ally sent me a text last night reminding me that I need to blog. So here I am, overwhelmed with all that has happened. Rather than busting my butt and making this as detailed as I know you all want... I am going to give you the SUPER short version.

5. WE ARE MOVING!!! Just down the road a bit. So much closer to Ally and Dan ;D

The next few weekends are going to be rough, but worth it in the end. I am calling all help! You know who you are!!

I am horrible at taking pictures! With talented-picture-taking mom and sister you'd think I would do better. But Zac and I have ALWAYS been horrible at it. So I am going to leave you with a few things I  have found from pinning that I WILL have!

 I am becoming obsessed with pallets! I might already have two that are going to be painted and used as my bed frame... headboard? Maybe!

 This is such an easy center piece! A little reminder of Washington. Mom please send me some.... I swear they don't have pinecones in Utah

 Saw this... Wish we had done it. This is our exact date which I thought was crazy cool.

 I want to do this, but it say Morrell.

 No more having to find paper and pens when the games come out.

 I want to make this for work. Wouldn't it be nice if it was this easy?

 My collection of earrings is getting bigger and bigger. I need a cool, easier way to store them.

 For some reason I think these button bracelets are cute!

 My motivation

I WILL HAVE THESE SHOES!!!

Until next time...

It's Gone...

Well I did it. I cut my long, stringy, shedding hair and have beautiful short hair. A co-worker at work suggested her cousin for my haircut. I LOVED HER! She has my business for as long as we are in Utah. If you want her info, I will be gladly to give it to you.

$10 dollars for a FANTASTIC haircut, great conversation with a little boy running around

= worth it!

Pro's to having shorter hair:

1. Dries W.A.Y. faster
2. Takes 5 minutes tops to do anything to it. Curl, straight, messy...5 minutes!
3. My bangs are going to be bomb.com, but I am not used to them and they make me look like a rocker when they are down. So they are up a lot right not. 

ALSO....

Zac has pointed out to me that I have gone on Pinterest every night for the past 3 days. It just inspires me! I have so many new ideas for my classroom I just want to get started! Why can't I take these 3 weeks off and just enjoy them? I seriously get grumpy at Zac because he gets to go to work and accomplish things. I am a freak! Here are a few things that will be added to either my classroom or apartment... the in-house aids have a lot of work ahead of them (hehehehe)

 The kids laugh at me every time I run into something and say 'ouchie.' Yup, I say 'ouchie' better than saying other words that come to my head first ;D
