Wallpaper, Lion King, and Gateway=Craziness!

Last weekend was pretty crazy. On Saturday morning Andrew went golfing, so I went up to Brooke's new house to help her get some of the wallpaper off the walls. I was up there a little early so I got to help her little girl get ready for the day. Isn't she so cute. She picked out her dress and then went to brush her teeth, my favorite part is her hair though... It looks kind of like mine when I wake up in the morning.... I mean, what? My hair always looks perfect!

At Brooke's new house... she has the COOLEST oven/stove! This is the oven... don't you wish you had one just like it! I mean, the door opens to the side and it's at about eye level with me... Who wants to bend over to get their food out of the oven?! And see those buttons on the side? Those aren't to control the oven, those are the buttons for the stove! I think it's awesome, but I'm easily pleased. Her stove top is under the oven where the counter is, and under the stove? Cabinets... Weirdest thing ever! I didn't even know you could have cabinets right under your stove top. That's probably where I would store things like chocolate and other things that could melt and get all over the place when I cook!
Anyway, onto the wallpaper. Brooke and I had finished the other wall that they started on Friday so Tyler and I were trying to get this beauty off the wall before we started getting the wallpaper off this wall. It took us like an hour to get it down! It was ridiculous! We had unscrewed everything as far as we could get it to unscrew and Tyler was doing pull-ups on it and we still couldn't get it to come off the ceiling... So, Tyler took a hammer to it! He was pretty excited to smash it but he couldn't even make a dent in it! I feel like I may want to make my house out of whatever this thing was made of! It's pretty much indestructible! We finally got it down though (and took some relatively large chunks out of the ceiling along with it. But I was comforted by the fact that apparently holes in the ceiling is nothing to worry about! :) And besides that... isn't the wallpaper pretty? It took us pretty much the rest of the morning and half of the afternoon to just get the stuff off that wall! Good luck with the rest of the house Brooke!
This is one of the screws from the thing we pulled off the ceiling.... I know that cell phones are small these days, but mine isn't. The screws were huge! And there were like 16 of them in there! (ok, 6... but it seemed like a lot more!)
After we had that fun adventure, Andrew and I came home and got ready to head out to dinner and to Lion King with my mom and John. This is our "Yay! We're going to Lion King!" picture! It was a blast! The show was awesome... I just want to know who comes up with all those costumes and stuff... So creative! Side note: Aren't our ceilings beautiful?! Makes you jealous, huh? (In case you're having a hard time seeing details... there are holes in it... kind of like Lite Brite!)
After the show Andrew and I went dancing with some statues...
And this thing is pretty random... This is the kind of stuff you get to see when you walk around Salt Lake at night, kind of cool though!
Well, we neetded a "Yay! We just saw Lion King!" picture... I feel like they just keep getting better!
We happened to be parked by the 2 news Storm Tracker car, so, naturally we had to get a picture of it!
If any of you ever had any question of where I get all the weird faces from, stop wondering... here's your answer. Andrew fits right in with the craziness!
And this is the view from.... our parking spot! Pretty, eh?
This one is a little better....
And my mom and I tried to get some pictures... these two were the best that we got! But look... obviously I get my eyes from her too!

And this car was also in the parking garage with us... Apparently thye just got married or something! I've never seen a car decorated that much! I hope they have some scissors or something so they can even get in the car!
On Monday we went to Gateway because everyone had the day off for Labor day. Andrew and I were hoping that if we posed cute enough my mom would buy us this stuff... It didn't work out that way though.
Like mother, like daughter.... That's all I can say about this one...
Such a fun week! This weekend should be pretty exciting too! Hopefully I'll remember my camera for all of it! :)
