A Little Comparison

Did I have some big ears or what? I don't know how old I am in this photo-or even if it is me! LOL!!!!

WINTER WORK

It is days like today that I wish I was a stay at home mom.
I would cuddle all day with my cuddle bugs. Payton and Hank didn't even want to go out this morning. Who could blame them though? The wind almost blew them right back in! Hank was crying by the time he made it back inside-his little paws were hurting so I had to warm them up with some warm water-needless to say he is not a winter dog.

But since I am not a stay at home mom-I had to get up and go to work. So I loaded the car with toys and Nick and I ventured out (in the 45mph winds and falling snow) for our 3 minute ride to work.

He is nice and warm thanks to the carseat cover (and a wonderful mommy like me)

Sleeping like a baby!


Woops! I woke him up!

Atleast he woke up happy!

What we brought home from the CASINO!!!!!

That's right.......NOTHING!!!!
It's a good thing we already bought each other gifts!!!
If you have been keeping up with my blog you know that I have become quite the project girl. I have been talking about taking up sewing and Chris got me a sewing machine!




And if you know my husband (which I know you all do) you know that he collects Star Wars.
He has been into the 12" scales lately and has wanted this guy for quite sometime I got him 2.
Why he would want dolls that looks like a pig is beyond me :-) JP-you get it !!!!

Celebrating Our 2 Year Anniversary

Chris and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary tonight!
Neither of us can believe it has been 2 years since we were married let alone 5 years since we met!
We had a simple ceremony on January 28th 2009 and then off to Breckinridge CO.
We stayed in a beautiful condo with 3 other couples-Scott and his wife Suzanne, Kevin and his wife Sherry and Steve (scott's cousin) and girlfriend Rian. Chris and I spent time alone while everyone else went skiing (something chris and I have no interest in) and then we had great dinners with our friends each night!













Tonight Chris and I are going to the casino in Oklahoma. We usually have dinner at the Scotch and Sirloin for special occasions but we decided tonight instead of spending the $ on food-we would see if we could double our money!!!! I am pretty excited about it. 1 hour road trip there and back is great time we don't get very often!!!!
I can honestly say that these past 2 years (really 5) have been the best years of my life so far!
Chris is the greatest guy I could have ever asked for and I am truly blessed!!!

Wing Upholstered Bed

I definately would like to do a wing upholstered bed. I follow a blog named "you paid more than me" and she reupholsters furniture. What caught my eye was the wingback chairs and settes she has redone and then I saw the wing upholstered headboards she posted. BEAUTIFUL. I have a design plan on how to make one. I just need to pick the color of fabric I want for the headboard.
I am going to paint the walls a linen-beige color-similar to the walls in the photos.
I have an off-white bedspread and pillows-so I would just need to add some throw pillows which shouldn't be that expensive.
I love them all-but which would be best for my room? I will have to study these for awhile.
HEADBOARD # 1

HEADBOARD # 2
The headboard is very light in color which I love.
HEADBOARD # 3
I really like this one. Not only do I get to see what it looks like with a king size bed but the bedspread is very similar to mine and the tables would be a very close finish to what I would have. (cameron diaz's room in "Holiday")

Engagement Party! Congrats Mike and Mariah!

yep! I had to throw one in here of Nicholas-(who also happened to be the hit of the party)
Love you! Mike and Mariah!!!

Suggestions Please

Chris said I can redo the master and get new furniture if I come up with the money to do so. Right now I have a budget of $100.00 from my craiglist sales-LOVE IT I get rid of things around the house for $$$$. My sister in law, Stephanie (she is the best) has sent me another link-this time "how to create your own headboard" I plan to do this. I just need to pick out the best fabric-that I won't change my mind on once I get it put on!!!!
MY INSPIRATION:


(still looking for more pictures so if you have any ideas feel free to email me)

I think this is more than reasonable for my budget. Considering the wall color is similar and this is about how much room I have. JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM.


PROBLEM: The picture above has white trim.
We have honey oak trim and Chris HATES the idea of "white" furniture with oak trim in our room, I HATE the idea of "dark" furniture with oak trim in our room. Neither of us like black furniture with oak trim in our room. My solution-paint our trim white!!!! Chris says ABSOLUTELY NOT!
So as you can see I am in a bit of a delima when it comes to re-doing my Master Bedroom. This is what it is now-except that I sold that dark table on craigslist last night so it is even more empty.



please email me any suggestions on what color of furniture/tables to use?

All by his SELF

I am upstairs and all of a sudden I hear Chris yelling my name from the basement. I go downstairs to see what all the comotion is about and what do I see ?????

Nicholas is holding his own bottle!!!!
