31 Days of Us. Downton Abbey

I am posting the links for this seasons episodes of Downton Abbey. It's really for my own benefit as I like to have the noise of it in the back ground as I work in my office cutting fabric or do homework.

31 Days of Us. World Market


Being an Interior Design student has a few perks. :)
We have awesome professors that were able to get us students into the Semi-Annual World Market. It takes place in Las Vegas. World Market is where all the companies that sell anything related to interiors get together and display their new merchandise. It gives interior designers a chance to see what is new and also to shop for things they need for clients. You have to have special passes to get in the doors. They even scan your pass as you enter each "Store". We were the only students in there. It was really fun to walk around and see all the many different companies merchandise.
After a while, I got brave enough to take a few pics of the things I liked with my phone. I was really nervous to do it. Some of the companies didn't have a problem having students there. Some were pretty rude and didn't want to give us any of their attention. Which is no problem. We will be shopping there as designers soon enough and will remember who was good to students and who wasn't. I wonder where we will likely shop??  :)
I thought I would post some of the pics I liked the most!

I really liked the texture on this bench. I love the exposed edges.

kinda crazy, but could be really fun in a little girls room!

A roll of fencing. Clever.

I could have two of everything in this store!!!

Something like this would be cute for Fresh Fabric. Its just a print on canvas.

Cute Pattern!

Pretty fun way to decorate! They also used egg crates and brown sack lunch bags. I really liked this shop.

The carpet I WILL BUY! It is me in every way.

I am a pretty picky lamp person. But I liked these ones.

and this one!!

Fun chair covers!


I really don't like being in Vegas. I actually hate being there. But the time I spent at World Market was pretty fun and made me excited to graduate!

31 Days of Us. It's late. I'm tired.

The title explains my night. But I really don't want to miss a day blogging. So I will post these bad pics from my phone taken during conference this weekend. It was near the end of the last session and Breeley came up with a new way to entertain herself.





She is coloring with her foot holding the crayon. :) 
What can I say?? 
She is a Larsen. :) 
She can make anything fun!!!

31 Days of Us. The boys can fly!

Man, this posting daily stuff is tough! I really don't have the energy to go back and dig through files of pictures to get caught up, Although, that really is what I should do. There are so many fun times not documented that I will surely forget with the mind that I have. 
Today though, I thought I would post some pics from my phone from Lagoon yesterday. We ran up there for a couple hours. We had told the boys they could do the Sky Coaster during the summer. But there never was a good time to stand in the forever long line. We decided to get it checked off the list! 

Waiting in line.

Suiting up!


Getting directions.

Addison getting directions on how to PULL THE CORD!


Waiting for their turn
 
Loading up!!!

Patient little sister!
I did video the boys' flight. Sad thing though, Addison took a few seconds longer than expected to pull the cord and I started getting nervous. So when he did pull the cord, I pushed stop on the video. Dumb dumb me!!! I did get it turned back on and got some video but I missed the descent. Darn it!

31 Days of Us. Yum! Yum!

Tonight while Adam, Abell and Hagen were at the priesthood session of General Conference, Addison, Breeley and I made a couple loafs of zucchini bread. Addison and Breeley shreaded the zucchini and I mixed it all up. Addison grew the zucchini in his garden. :) I wonder who will wash all the loaf pans???

31 Days of Us. Big Boy

I follow this blog written by a cute girl named Serena. She owns The Farm Chicks. It is an antique show held annually in Spokane Washington. A few weeks ago on her blog she had a post called Big Boy Wants to Meet You. With the following picture.

It turn out this Big Boy wants to travel the world especially every state in the USA! Anyone who wanted to host Big Boy just needed to comment on the post and tell her which state we could introduce him to. She was going to pick the first comment from each state. I thought it would be something to do, so I quick like a rabbit commented. :)  I wasn't sure if I was first or not, but I tried.
I didn't hear anything about it and two days ago I was reading her blog and Big Boy was reporting on his trip to Florida.  She had a link listed with his travel plans and who would be hosting him. I clicked over and low and behold this is what I saw.

In case you can't see it. #13 is Deanna in Utah!!

So hilarious!!

So help me think of somewhere fun to take him. :)

I have a few weeks to decide. He is in #3 Idaho today. So he has a few stops to make before he arrives.

31 Days of US. Abell and Hagen and Merit Badges!

This summer Abell and Hagen earned and received several merit badges. Some of them they had been waiting for for a while, but I think they are pretty much caught up. We tend to have a hot/cold relationship with merit badges. Sometimes we are really hot on it and are earning them quickly. Then one of those waiting until you can receive your next advancements will come up and we become very cold with it. Abell is a Life, and Hagen is a Star, with his Life earned just waiting for time to pass so he can receive it. I am wanting the boys to do their Eagle projects at the same time so we can have them both have their Eagle Court of Honor at the same time. :) I am all about being efficient.
Hagen is leading the court of honor.


Brother Roberts is saying such nice things about Abell. :)

Hagen is receiving his merit badges and rank advancements.

I earned another pin!!!
