There's not much going on at the Martin household except house projects and work. 

It wouldn't be a complete post with out pictures of Bailey. 

 Spoiled pup..I may or may not let her sleep with me on Saturday mornings..This is why I cannot have children. I let her do whatever she wants.  

 Thanks Pinterest for the great idea of drilling pumpkins instead of carving them. 

I know what you are thinking, but Derreck wants you to know that it's a 3-eyed pumpkin.  

One of my little friends at school tied her boots together on Friday. She is 6 going on 16. She almost convinced me that this was ok to do this. 

Last weekend, Josey, Dillon, and Tarell came all the way from SD to help us shingle our roof. Brandi also came down from Evergreen to help. That was a job and a half! I only took 2 pictures. Oops! 

Dillon ordered a drink that came in a bucket. Why not drink with a shovel?

 And we finally got a TV stand.

On Friday night, we (some friends from work) went to Canvas and Cocktails to celebrate Daryn's Birthday. It was a blast! Check out my masterpiece. Haha..pretty pathetic, but it's all about the process, not the product. Right? 

Now off to watch the Packers beat up on the Vikings and some lesson planning for the week! Speaking of, we don't get a Halloween party at school. Our principal is the Grinch of Halloween. Secretly so am I, but the kids are pretty bummed. However, Mrs. and Mr. Martin will be running the 1st Grade bean bag game on Friday night at our Fall Festival. Derreck doesn't know that I signed us up yet.  =)

Have a good week!

Well I got 2 texts today saying that it has been a month since I updated our blog. So instead of going to bed at 8 o'clock, I will spend a few minutes updating what we have been up to. 

I just cannot get caught up with life right now. I feel like I'm constantly drowning in Google Docs and emails. But things are great here in Littleton!  And I'm so thankful to be doing what I love. 

Since the last post, we have made a trip back to SD and have had visitors in Denver. Val and Tyler came out last weekend. The weather was amazing and I even got a little sunburn at the Broncos game. 

And Jeremy and Kellie got engaged! Woohoo..I'm so excited and I cannot wait to have a sister-in-law. I'm so happy for them. They are getting married September 13th, 2014. One of my best friends gets married the following weekend. I am already stressed about next September, and am worried that I'm not going to be able to make it to both of them. Of course, we wouldn't have any weddings in June or July when we have all the time in the world. Such is life. 

So much has happened this month! Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to. 

 The class of 2007

Isn't he handsome?!

Kelsea and I

 A few of my favorite people at Brandon and Karley's Reception. They had a destination wedding in Cabo last month. The pictures were beautiful and the reception was a blast. I'm glad that someone else agrees with me that a destination wedding is the best thing ever. Best wishes to her and Brandon! 

Bailey and Scout were reunited again. I had such a great day hanging out with my brother and my mom. Lunch at Bubba's and pool at Mary Bob's makes for a good Saturday!

Red Rocks

Broncos game. It was so much fun!

This guy was brave. He was walking around Mile High in this Packers outfit. I don't really get it, but it was pretty hilarious!

Our seats from the upper level. It was the perfect day.

This is Bailey's favorite spot. 

As far as our house projects go, we recently painted the basement navy blue. Derreck likes it because it is Broncos colors, and I like it because navy blue is my favorite color.  So it's a win-win. 

We also got a new furnace today which is pretty exciting. Our shingles also got delivered and the crew (Tarell, Dillon and Josey) will be out in two weeks to re-shingle our roof. 

Here is a sneak peak of the paint job. I will take more pictures once we get some 'stuff' on the walls. Derreck hates 'stuff' =)
