2 Months

This little guy has wrapped himself around Mommy's heart. He is smiling and cooing and I just love it!! He is only still when he sleeps, which isn't any different than when he was forming. Apparently, he is going to be an active little boy.

When It's Too Hot...

Goodness knows, it's too hot for me to enjoy the outdoors! I use a fan in the winter at church. So, when it's too hot to enjoy what living flowers I have left, bring them inside. :)
Found this container in Wesley's Grandma's garage. The little cups came from a thrift store. I bought only 6 not realizing there was 8 slots. :( 

Amazing how some fresh flowers brighten up the kitchen.
Oh, and Wesley and Weston were twinkies last night at church. :)

Office Redo




Seriously folks, it's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do to lighten a room. This has become the office since we combined the two rooms by knocking out a wall here. The lighting has become so. much. better.

Went with a clean crisp feel in here.



The curtains and pillow were made from a shower curtain from Target. The "owl" pillow was made from a place mat. (It really is flowers, but the way it came together looks like an owl. LOL).

Plastic plates from Target. They looked ceramic and was surprised when I picked them up.

Nightstand Redo

I am such a nice sister!!! LOL Actually, I like the trade off...FREE babysitting. :)

Our school had an auction a couple of months back and there was a hideous very worn out bedroom set that caught Rachel and I's eyes. She didn't want to pay very much for it, so we let the master bidder, Wesley, do the bidding. 

(BTW...if you need any tips on bidding, you need to talk to someone with the initials KLW). :)

She told him how high she'd go. The auctioneer started off and there were no takers. Wes started it out at 10 buckaroos and she became the proud new owner!

After Rachel scrubbed it down, I let the spray paint rip! Then I gave the handles a coat of oil-rubbed bronze. I've been seeing on different blogs how they add a second color to the details. 
Just because the cool kids are doing it...
Added a black stripe. Her room is in black and white with a Paris theme.

It isn't perfect, but it looks better than it did!

Now, to get the dresser done. UGH!

4th of July Weekend

The weekend started off with fireworks out at the airport. I have no idea why they do them before the 4th, but apparently Columbus loves setting them off. They even set them off at Christmas! :)

Monday found us celebrating with friends at a BBQ! So much yummy food and laughs. BTW...in case anyone was wondering, I'm terrible at cornhole! 
I found the recipe for these here. SOOOOOOO Delish!! (and easy).
We all decked out in our red, white, and blue finery. :)
