Pictures from the Big Computer

I was cleaning off the desktop of our big computer and there were a plethora of pictures that I have pulled out for some reason or other and have left there gathering dust. I'm sure that most of these things are in other places so I could have just deleted them without posting them here, but I thought it would be a fun glimpse into our life.

Our Red Ladder Design Logo:

David, Lydia, and I at her baptism. This is my favorite picture of her entire baptism day. I love it so much.

A picture of me in New York at the corner of the sewing district. You can't tell very well, but this is a giant needle going through an even more giant button. I have no idea why it's on our desktop, but... fun!

Oh, I found another New York photo! Aubrey, Bruce, Wendy, Lydia, David

Lydia and Henry when they were about 3-4. Hopefully someday I'll use this in their wedding video. (I'm joking.. of course... kind of...)

A few old pictures of the Peaden Family. Sue & Wendy, Bruce

A picture of a darling baptism jumpsuit that I saw several years ago. I thought that maybe I would make one for Lydia. I didn't. But maybe I will make one for Lucy. So cute.

Screen Shots

I wanted to blog about something tonight. I thought: "Maybe the fact that we recently got a piano (yay!), or that Lydia has started climbing onto things and jumping off of them hoping that you'll catch her, or maybe that David's birthday is this weekend and I am so excited to celebrate that I might have to retrain myself from jumping up and down on a daily basis." But then I decided that I didn't want to get the camera and upload my photos to my computer - so I did the next best thing. 

Here are some screen shots of things that are happing in life/on my computer right now:  

Our last blog book that we printed was large. The largest to date. However, it's only October and we already have twenty more blog posts (twenty-one including this one) than we did last year. And we still have all of the Fall/Winter Holidays to blog about. I'm hoping that everything will still fit into one book! 

I got this e-mail from David yesterday. Such a true life lesson. *Sigh* the life of being a contact-wearer.  Poor boy. (However, I loved the email and think that we should start doing posts titled "Life Lessons.")

Speaking of being a contact wearer - I haven't been for the last several weeks. I always am surprised when Fall comes around and my allergies start acting up so much that I can't wear contacts. You'd think that I'd remember that this happens every. single. year. We've been talking about getting me new glasses for a while (the ones I wear now are the same ones that I got in middle school). But I've kind of been dragging my feet because I don't wear them that often (apparently, except during the 2 1/2 months of fall allergy season), and the prescription has still been decent. But I'm to the point that I really do need new glasses. It's hard to read signs from far away (even ordering at a food place), I can't see very well in the dark,  and my eyes just have a hard time focusing. So I'm all in - we are getting new glasses for me soon. I've been doing some research - but I have no idea what style to go with. I wish I could just by my exact same glasses in a silver finish. (The frames bend all crazy like, so they won't ever break.) I just want something simple and stylish and umm... simple. I don't know. 

My little sister is awesome. She's also famous! I love that she goes to UVU and lives so close. 

Her twin- Elder Matthew Walker is currently serving in the New Jersey Morristown Mission. He gets home in three short months! (This counts as a screen shot because as I was loading my other screen shots this one popped up that has just been sitting on the desktop since... Christmas? Wow. But it was a screen shot and I've been thinking so much about him lately. I can't believe he comes home so soon.

) Look at how happy he is, and look at how happy our family is talking to him.

Studio C just started up with their new season! We haven't actually watched the first episode yet, because we've been busy - but I'm hoping we see more of the shoulder angel. The last skit of the end of last season was my absolute favorite skit ever. 

David and I are having a friendly competition choosing the best NFL teams each week. David is winning, but I'm close behind. The winner of each week gets a backrub or footrub. Needless to say, I'm motivated to win. Plus, David loves sporting and I love him - so it's win, win, win!

My facebook profile picture? Still my favorite picture of us EVER. I love it so much. 

And that, my friends, is another random post from this blogger.  Goodnight!
