Here is Christian's finished model.






A few months ago, Christian made a wallet out of Tyvek (one of those tear-proof mailing envelopes) It was pretty cool and he got lots of compliments on it. This weekend, he wanted to make a better one. So he did:


Pretty cool huh? He drew on it with Sharpies and sewed it instead of taping it this time. I want him to make me one. Now, I just need to find a cool design.

Currently, it's Monopoly time at McDonald's and we are obsessed. Christian's friends at school even give us their games pieces because they know about our little addiction. We love having an excuse to grab a Coke from McDonald's everyday. Plus, we're really, really close to winning some BIG prizes.

We celebrated my birthday last week. For the last 3 years, I've been watching the same infomercial. I know it's weird, but I just couldn't take my eyes off it. I'd watch it over and over and think, "one day I'll buy that." It was for Wen hair care. (I bet you were all thinking I wanted those Pajama Jeans, huh?) Anyway, for my birthday, Stacy got me (along with lots of other great stuff) a bottle of the Wen shampoo/conditioner. AND this wasn't just any kind of Wen. It's the Fall Ginger Pumpkin Wen. It smells so good, I'm tempted to taste it every time I shower. So now not only does my hair look and feel delicious, but it smells delicious too! Now I can proudly say, "I'm Ryann Hulme...and I'm a Wen girl." Click HERE if you have no idea what I'm talking about. It was a very fun birthday!



I love Halloween. Some might even say I'm obsessed with it. Talking with my sister in law Steph tonight, I realized it's the only holiday I really decorate for. I've always loved it. I was so excited to decorate for it this year because I started early on a few projects. My sister Denise sent me a whole box of great decorations for my birthday.

This banner was so fun to make!


Christian has been very busy this week working on a big project. He had to design a house that also includes two offices for a client and then build a model of it. He is almost finished and has done a really great job on it. Look at the details in the kitchen portion! Amazing.
