Island Park with the Parents

Hannah is on the last semester of her bachelor degree at BYU-Idaho and is very excited to almost be done with this stage of her life! We are pretty sure we will be moving in July after Hannah finishes her internship so we decided to take advantage of this weekend she has off from school and come up to the cabin with my parents.

Island Park is one of my most favorite places in the world. Growing up on a farm made it difficult for my dad to get away for vacation so most of our vacations were up to the cabin in Island Park. Every winter we snowmobile and inevitably we end up riding to Big Springs. The Johnny Sack cabin at the springs is a beautiful little cabin and the miniature cabin with the water wheel has fascinated me from then until now.

As much as we are both looking forward to moving on and seeing what live has in store for us, I will miss this place every day we are away.

Partner Workout Challenge

When Hannah and I got back from camping earlier today, I saw that my cousin had tagged us in this video on Facebook. At the time it had like 3,000,000 views on Facebook, it currently has over 6,500,000 views on there. She posted this comment with the video. " For some reason, I can see you and Brock trying this pose. So if you do, please record it and share with me! hahaha! This is never not funny." So we watched the video, had a good laugh, and decided why not try it? Better yet, why not try it and record it like my cousin Stacey requested? This was the result. Now I'm not sure if she was thinking that we would look like the example couple that were shown rocking the move, (highly unlikely) or if she thought we would look a lot more like the couple trying to replicate the move (much more likely). Regardless, we had a little more luck than the couple in the top video on this page. I don'...

A barndoor headboard

So I've been on a kick where I like making furniture for Hannah and I. We are saving up for graduate school so we don't have lots of extra money for furniture but we want to have some nice stuff. So I build it! Our most recent project was a headboard for our bed. Here is a picture of our room after I made some nightstands for it. We had just gotten new bedding and the lamps and I made the night stands with some plans on Ana White's site . Where we are renting, we can't really paint the walls or anything so a headboard it was! This plan I found on Shanty-2-Chic's site . They had taken a plan from Ana White's site and chunkified (not a real word, I know.) it up. I liked the chunkier look and this is how it turned out. We really like the look and the fact that we can take it with us when we move. Hopefully this will be the set up down the road in the guest bedroom but for now it is all ours!

Rustic Coffee Table

So if you remember, about a month ago, Hannah and I made our first DIY piece of furniture and made ourselves a couple of nightstands. You can read about that adventure here . They turned out so well that this time I decided we would make ourselves a coffee table. We've needed one/wanted one since we got married three years ago and now with my new found love of furniture making, I decided I would just make one. I found this picture on Pinterest. I loved the look of the table, the stained top, the painted sides, the solid look of the table. I found the plans for it and turns out they were Ana White plans. I should have known. The biggest problem with this gorgeous table was that it was too big for our living room. Hannah and I are renting an apartment right now and while we could fit the full size table in our living room, I didn't want one that big as I tend to do lots of activities in the living room. (Work out, play with the...
