Guest Bedroom

So I have decided I am sick of toys and things cluttering my living room, so I am working on clearing out our guest bedroom and am going to make it a "family room" I told Greg that as soon as we do that I will get pregnant and we will have to change it into a nursery...whatever works, right?

I am also having Greg build us a fence, Even the UPS man felt sorry for him (he saw us walking around the yard discussing where the fence should go) But I want you to know that I am helping as much as I can! I even have blisters and ohhh so sore muscles from running that post hole digger with Greg. Who knew we could have so many rocks! Next it is tree wacking and lumber cutting... watchout backyard!

Anyway I can't wait until we get it done and I can let Gracie out and not have a heart attack with every ready set Go. That is her newest favorite thing, and it is so cute to watch her run just as fast as those little legs will carry her!

Butterflies and Frogs and Flowers

We are redoing Gracie's bedroom, she has a big girl bed and she even helped paint the canvas pictures for her shelves! When ever she sees any paint bottles now she wants to paint! Oh, dear...hide those paint bottles!! She loved it, but what a mess...she went straight to the bath afterwards...the bath tub started to match her room! Don't worry it is sparkling white again!

Now we just have to get her to sleep all through the night in that big girl bed! :) We are getting there!

Easter

Gracie had a great time this Easter. Her easter dress was too big, so we modified the flower girl dress and she loved it. She got to her easter basket and said "These eggs pretty!" She is so funny! Her favorite thing was a little chocolate bunny...hummm....must take after her dad! Hope everyone had a great easter, even if it was still snowing!!

Finishing Touch

Here is a pic of one of our latest weddings that we did! It turned out great! We are resting up for the summer weddings comming up.

I guess we will start the summer with a BANG! Two weddings in one weekend ! If this blog is not updated you know that it killed me! :)

Piggy Tales

OK, so I just HAD to post this picture...Gracie finally has enough hair to put in pig tales! You have no idea how happy this makes me...We have been waiting a long time! It is so funny her hair in the back is so frizzy curly and on top is long and curly, then on the sides, it is straight and there is peach fuzz...barely! We already have to use conditioning shampoo and detangler after a bath. But, it is just so dang cute ! I guess it is worth it!

Gracie

Gracie has grown by leaps and bounds! I can't believe my little baby is 20 months already! The things she comes up with, just crack me up! We were putting together some cabinets (for the scrapbooking room of course) and I had the drill and screwdriver out, she had taken the tools and as I explained to her that those were dangerous and that mommy should have them, she came back with "Mommy, share!!" Oh my... I keep telling everyone I am in for it!

The kitty is her favorite thing and in the morning we have to find Sassy so Gracie can give her "Wuv" She is such a loving little girl, and I just melt everytime she comes and rubs my back and asks, "mommy, ok?" She is such a blessing in my life! I just hug her and think thank you, thank you!

Here we go!

I have not done this blog thing, but I'm going to attempt this. Gracie is napping and I have a quick minute to myself. I should be scrapbooking, or attempting to get this room set up to scrapbook. But I have hit a wall and seem to have no inspiration on how to get this done. I am trying to simplify my life and my home so maybe the best way to start this room is to empty everything and put back in what I want and then try to figure out what to do with what is left! I have ordered a white desk...I know this oak one should be fine, but I have decided I am somewhat OCD and everything MUST match. So I will have a white desk and white cubes for my supplies. I got some great cloth to make a valance for this room, it is blue with very colorful circles on it...Greg wasn't sure at first, but was a sweet husband and had faith that I could make it look great!
Hey ya know even if no one reads this blog, this is a great way to sort thoughts out...I am reinspired...cute scrapbook room here I come!!!
