Dining Room

We moved into our new house last March, and I love it, but I have wanted to make it my own as far as paint colors. We didn't pick the paint colors in this house and I have wanted to be more daring than our last house. These are the before and afters. The first two pics are the befores. The paint color is okay, but not really anything special- don't ya think?

And these are the afters:

I wanted more of a statement color and love that room now.

Charlotte Russe and more

For those of you who know me well, you know I love to shop. I love clothes and shoes. I have fun putting outfits together and never have rules except that there are no rules. Whatever I am feeling that day. I get bored of an outfit if I have already worn it once, and so I try to mix and match everything with everything else. I love color and like to mix colors in my outfits. I wanted to take some pictures of what I have because it is so fun to get dressed. I got this fantastic grey shimmery skirt at Charlotte Russe on the sale rack and loved it. I seem to not wear a lot of my new things though and save them for who knows what occasion, so I have decided if it is new, I need to wear it.
This is the same outfit with a black short jacket over the purple sweater. I have to take a lot of my own pictures or have my 3 year old do it- so the pictures might be amazing. This is a picture of me in my mirror. Awesome.

I got this shirt at JCPenney and love it. I goes so great with my dark skinny jeans and UGGish boots.

I also got this ruffly tank top at Charlotte Russe on the sale rack and loved it, and so I also bought it in grey.

I usually always wear jeans, so it felt good to wear some dark trousers. I just love the green cardi with the ruffly dark blue tank. It just made me smile.
It also made me smile that the trash is right next to me.

G & G Aimans

This is Macie trying to get away from the herd of boy cousins! Help! I am the only girl!!
Brady and cousin Andrew both in Grandpa Aiman's boxer underwear

For some reason, my mom has always bought me see through pajamas for Christmas. Every chrismas video growing up I am in a see through gown. I also would always end up going right up to the camera in my see through jammies and start scratching my bum- lovely. We love all those old videos. It is now always a treat when I recieve modest pajamas- yeah.

I just love that Brady's hand is in his pants. Way to go son.

My lovely sister Lori and her husband Willy. I think we look more and more a like every year- Lori, not Willy.

These were the band of boys-cousins- that were inseperable over Christmas. These seven boys camped out in the basement while the adults and Macie, my sweet solo girl, hung out upstairs. I felt like I hadn't even seen my boys all week. They had so much fun and didn't want to leave.

Oh, the fun we have at Grandma and Grandpa Aimans!

Sledding in Idaho

Over Christmas, we went to Idaho and went sledding in my parent's backyard. The kids had a blast while Greg pulled them around everywhere and I watched and took pictures. I even took pictures of my mom taking pictures. Macie wore sock gloves because I forgot to buy her any. Brady was freezing because I didn't bring him a very warm coat. Caleb had a blast and could have stayed out there forever. Despite being cold, they had a wonderful time sledding and laying in the snow. Thank you Idaho for another fantastic time!
