Brock's got Skill!!

So here is what Brock has been up to! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?! My mom and him have been talking for a while now about how she wanted him to build her something (last year for christmas he build me a hutch!). She picked out a book case she wanted and he went to work. He cleaned up an old shop on the Gibbons' farm and we added some very expensive tools to make it his work place. It really has worked out great!

So it was originally made for the hallway at my mom's house...but it was too much for the hallway. After lots of talk and trying to decide what my mom wanted to do, it got moved.

We moved it to the formal sitting room, where the piano used to be. It looks great! It looks even better in real life! Good job hun!

My favorite pictures of the weekend!

My Favorite

Good ol Dayton!

This sign was so funny: No Poop Zone. Brock just couldn't hold it any longer:)

I have the BEST husband!!

My birtdhay is on Halloween and this year Brock made it the best birthday ever! I canned applesauce with mom and Jilayne in the morning. Then around 3:00pm we left....yep, that's it, we just left. I had no idea where we were going! He told me to pack clothes for 1 night. I was so excited! I love surprises! We ended up in Dayton WA and it was a BLAST! We stayed at a sweet little hotel that was very old/antique. It was just a a nice quick get away, just what we needed. Thanks so much for the surprise trip brock!!! I love you!

Our hotel

This was our room. The place was very old and decorated nicely. The picture of the family hanging on the wall kind of creeped us out at first.

The colors are so beutiful! It was so fun!

This is the surrey bike that the hotel had for their guests. It was SO MUCH FUN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!

So there are so many people in our lives that have birthdays this month so we just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! (now that the month is almost over..oops!) My sister, Jilayne, my sister-in-laws: Jande and Karyn, Brocks sister Camille, Camille's husband Travis, my nephew Hunter, my cousin Laurin Eppich....and....I know there's more but I'm drawing a blank(and I dont have my calander with me). Hope everyone had/has a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! love you all!

Just to Clearify

Here is the story of what happened to brock's hand on Monday night. There are some stories out there...here's the real one. He was in his wood shop working on my mom's bookcase and he drill slipped and went into his left hand. It didn't go far (well he doesn't really know how far). But he said it bled like CRAZY!!! All over his clean shop...oh no! Anyway, he washed it out and cleaned it up real good. We bandaged it up and he was on his way. So there shouldn't be ANY WORRIES...he's fine. He just said it hurt really bad. I think it's a poor excuse to get out of dishes for the next week. He is going hunting this weekend with friends, so I told him the deciding factor will be if he can do dishes before friday. I think that's a good decision maker!!!

FALL TIME

So today is the first day of fall and I offically am not excited! I love the pretty colors outside, but really am not excited about the change in weather. These last few days have been cold and it's just not fun to be outside. I was loving the warm weather and mowing the lawn, going on walks, just being outside. Plus, the trailor is covered in trees, which keeps any sunlight/warmth out. BUT....fall does mean holidays and my birthday, so I am excited for that.

Brock and I started school today. I have an hour break and have no homework (yet) so I decided to catch up a bit on my blog. Brock isn't too thrilled about school starting again because he's only been out for a month. But I'm excited. I LOVE change, really I do. I get bored of my life being the same every day, going to work, come home fix dinner, clean up dinner and then maybe do something with brock(if i'm lucky) for a couple hrs. I dunno, going to school brings change and I'm excited. I'm also getting into classes that go toward my major: teaching. So that should be fun. I know in about 1 month when I'm studying like crazy for test I'll be wondering why I was ever excited for school.

LOVIN summer!

We finally got around to painting our deck! YAY! It looks so much better! AND THEN....Brock built me a porch swing. So we're really upgrading in the trailor! :)
My best friends wedding!
oh, it's super blurry! My best friends:karie,jessie, ashlee.

Quick Utah Trip

Yay, I finally posted more pictures! haha. Sorry I dont update more often, we don't have internet at our house and I don't feel it's the #1 thing I should be doing when I go to my parents house. Anyway, this is what Brock and I have been up to the past month! We went to utah for 4 days (2 of which were driving!). We went to Logan to see his mission companion, Tony Bodily. This pic is before we went coon hunting! Utah hick for sure!
I went up to Provo with my old roommate and had so much fun at my first BYU football game.

There were SO MANY MORMONS and all of them in BLUE!

Brock came to provo on sunday to pick me up. We drove up the mountains with his friend dallin. It was rainy, but still very pretty!

Adorable!

So I had to add 2 more pictures. These are so cute I just had to put them up!

Eppich Family Reunion

Brock and I went to my grandpa Eppich's cabins at Priest Lake, Id for the Eppich Reunion

Jason, Karyn, Brock, Me- brock couldn't do much at the cabin,

but he could go on a bike ride.

It is always SO much fun to be up there with everyone. I hadn't been in 2 yrs.

Eppich Family (minus about 15)

4th of July

Jasen, Derek, Brock, Travis, Scott

Now everyone can see why Brock can't stop riding...

"everyone's doing it." They rode to the Columbia Basin Breakfast.

I wasn't too fond of the idea, but how do you stop a 23 yr old?

I went to the Basin City parade with my neices. Super cute!

YES, that's a boot on his foot. He couldn't walk, but he can ride. He loves this bike.

HE'S WALKING!!!!

You can't tell that much in this picture, but one leg is way bigger

than the other!!! This is the first time he stood up. The dr. told him to stand on it.

Brock told me later he was too nervous, so he actually wasn't putting pressure on it.

IS HE REALL WALKING???? WEIRD!!!!

He can walk with this boot thing for about 1 month, then he can put on normal shoes!!

We didn't expect they would tell him he can start walking, so we were SUPER excited!

Another Trip To Seattle...really fun this time!!!

We went out with my friend, Ashlee Carter, on their yacht. It was amazing!

We had so much fun!

It was so pretty!
We sat Bill Gates' house. You can't see it very well, but it is 113,000 sq ft! It was huge!!

The yacht was really big, it was a 40 ft yacht.

Fun Times

WHAT?!

So I copied Jande and did the name thing. I put in Emily Gibbons. Of cours there are thousands out there with Emily. But Emily Gibbons....wow! I was suprised!
