Updates on the House of Brent and Erika

We've been putting some finishing touches on some of our rooms, and we painted our bathroom.
Here's some pictures!
The living room, with curtains and a few more accessories/things hung on the wall.














The family room. The bamboo placemats on the wall still need some more pictures on them, but other than that, we've hung everything on the wall for this room! We want a new couch and some organizational things.












Our yellow yellow YELLOW bathroom. Brent thought we should go with a lighter shade, but I was worried it would look too pastel (which I didn't want). After painting it...I think he was right. We should have done a shade lighter. It's still fun, it's just very yellow. The bright color is in the hope that it will one day be a bathroom for children...


That's about it for now. Today we had Stake Conference, and later I completely schooled Brent in dominoes. Both were fantastic.

I love the bathroom! It is such a fun color. You and Brent are so creative. Did you get my message about Mario Kart on Facebook?

Year of (Almost) No Fast Food: July Update

By
I'm pretty sure no one reads this blog, so it won't be a surprise to anyone that it's taken me longer to do an update than I meant it to. But I do kind of want to check in at least monthly to see how my year of no fast food is going. Right now I'd say it's going...okay. I did really well the month of June. I think I ate fast food on six occasions: 1. Right before my sister's play, which was allowed because it was date night but we were late. 2. The night before Father's Day, because that's where my father-in-law wanted to go for dinner. 3. & 4. Brent and the boys brought me lunch twice. 5. While visiting my sister-in-law and looking at her new house, we bought everyone lunch. 6. On the way to my parents' house, we got food because I'd just had surgery and couldn't cook. The last week of June, I made an appointment with a surgeon to talk about my pesky gallbladder. It hasn't been giving me a ton of grief, but since Felix was ...

The Brand New Life of Baby Alice

By
 Preface: This post has taken me a year to write. I'm not even sure exactly when all the edits happened. I started writing on Valentine's day, and then 2020 unfolded from there. This is a birth story, but also a 2020 story, because how could it not be? I'll try to make it clear when there's been a time jump. Here we go!  *** It is Valentine’s Day; I am sitting at my work computer and pumping while my husband and kids play with their cousins since I’m preparing to throw a party for other couples. It seemed too soon to leave our newest babe with a sitter, so here (and there) we all are. It seems as good a time as any to start writing out Alice’s birth story.  This pregnancy was a long one, because I really feel like it started in November of 2018. Back then, I found myself unexpectedly pregnant, a phrase it’s weird to even type because when you experience 7 years of infertility, unplanned pregnancy just doesn’t seem like it will ever be part of your story. Yet, there I wa...

The Brand New Life of Felix: A Birth Story

By
It is 6:02 AM, and by a cruel trick of the universe I cannot get back to sleep. Sometimes, in those times when I should be sleeping but my brain can’t turn off, I think of all the things I don’t want to forget. I don’t want to forget web team meeting at 12:00 today. I don’t want to forget to buy better picture-hanging nails. But most pressing this morning was this: I don’t want to forget the details of Felix’s birth. And so here’s the story that I wasn’t wrong in thinking it would take me four months to write. Here’s Felix’s birth story. As I wrote in my last post, this pregnancy was hard for me. Physically, it was so challenging, but towards the end it was really mentally tough. Because I was due at the end of December, I wasn’t even sure what year this baby would be born, and for some reason that was really hard. I didn’t know what to plan for. Some time in November, our families kept asking us when we thought would be a good time for family Christm...
