Funny Little Kid

My little goof ball! He refused to get dressed and he put his boots on himself, even the right feet. He even went outside the "help" Daddy this morning like this.

Fluffing the Nest

I've been busy settling into the new place. We don't have much left to do, just personalizing a bit. Nancy and Marie helped me get some pictures up. I can hang them, it's just a matter of how to arrange them that I have issues with and I wanted to do a wall with family pictures. So, after much deliberation, they decided to take my pictures and re-frame or re-size some to make them arrangable on the wall. I love it!

This is in my hallway

This is in my living room (there are two frames that don't have pictures in them yet,just the one that comes in the frame, they have photos in them now though)


We have metal shop doors in our house, since it's a shop house and we didn't really have much choice. I found magnet curtain rods at good ole' Wally World and some curtains that help to shade the west window and the back door, as well.

Garden Things

Cooper insists on wearing his rubber boots all the time, even with PJ's


Things from the garden- Had to check the carrots, they're getting big! We got a big mess of sugar snap peas and beans.


Sunflowers cut from my garden. They really brighten my day!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa

We celebrated Al's 64th birthday Saturday with Darian's crew at the lake. We cooked hamburgers, went out on the boat, it was a fun family Saturday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA!

In the Country

Sunflowers in my garden.... just for fun and smiles

I picked these in my garden. We haven't eaten these just yet, but we did devour some sugar snap peas that came out of there last night.

Cooper had to show Papaw around his play yard/ garden

This is cute, but it always makes me think of the only scary movie I've ever watched all the way through... "Children of the Corn"

MOVED IN!

We're FINALLY moved into our new place. We still have a few very small things to finish up. I'm glad to be online here, so I have time to post. Not to mention, I really missed being able to get online whenever I wanted. Here are a few pics of what's going on. I will have things all hung on the walls soon, as well. (please excuse the pile of trash) It actually looks much better this week and my island is all cleaned off. I love cooking in my roomy kitchen!

Getting Organized

Okay, so moving is a big pain, but there are some advantages. The biggest one being that it gives you a chance to start fresh organization. I've been trying to find a place for everything where it's easily found and I don't have to dig for them. Here's a little fun thing I did with my jewelry. I didn't have a spot for my jewelry box, but I had a small empty drawer that I wanted to work. I think my Mamaw had told me about this a long time ago and I just had a chance to go through and do it. Yes, these are ice cube trays.... I know, weird, right, but they work well to keep sets together and one necklace in each hole keeps them from tangling up. The little bowls are just one cup size Ziploc bowls that are perfect size for bracelets. And, never underestimate the good old fashioned zip bags for chunky things. I really think this will work out nicely!

New House

We are loving our new place! We've stayed a few nights there already and we just have a few very small things we have to finish up, but pretty much moved in! Cooper loves his new room and his toddler bed. I don't have pictures downloaded yet to post. I know it's been a while since I posted, we are still working on getting our phone service out there. Sooooo...that means not much checking e-mail and web. I'm a bit lost without it. I'll post again with more when I get all connected.

Moving!!

Yay!! The day has finally arrived! We are starting to move into our new place, finally!! We passed our final inspection this morning and when we got the go-ahead from the painters that they were at least finished enough for us to start moving stuff in, we were at it! I need to take some pictures of it now, it's starting to look like we might actually be living there very soon. I had only intended on getting some cleaning done, but got a lot more accomplished! Within the week, we will probably be living there. We may be without phone and internet for a few days, but I might make it.....or I'll have to visit my wonderful neighbor to check my e-mail (: I'll post pics soon. We had a visitor today that I took a picture of that is quite a dinosaur, I guess you could say.....
