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!

Master Bedroom

We moved into our house in March, and I am finally making some decorating decisions in my room. I love my new bedding! I got it at Target and just lurv it! I also decided I needed a something to sit on by our tv, because I was using a lovely camping chair and Greg even asked me if I would just go pick out a chair- OK :)! I love my new chair! I also got one turquoise panel to hang by our bar and then cleaned off our dressers! Wow I'm good!

Birthday Cakes

I have discovered the most amazing cake lady- Melissa. She made the most adorable cakes for Macie's 1st Birthday and Brady's 3rd. I went to her house and picked out the kids cakes. She has pictures of cakes she has already done, or you can look through catalogs she has and pick out something else. She can do anything. She had never done Macie's cake, the little 3-D girl and she turned out adorable. She only charged me $25 for Macie's which is $5 more than she normally charges for cakes because she had to rent the mold. The $25 also included 12 cupcakes that looked like grass and then had chocolate flowers on top. Cute!! But she only charged me $20 for Brady's Blues Clues cake, which is her normal price. Amazing!!

New Moon!!

Greg and I went to see Jacob, I mean New Moon on Friday....LOVED IT!!!

Jacob was awesome! He was better than I imagined. Bella was okay, but Edward- oh Edward. If I was going to be in the same movie as Jacob and be baring my chest for that matter, I think some things on my check list would be.
1. Shave my chest
2. Go to the gym
3. Eat more protein, or just food for that matter- he looked anorexic
4. Pull up my pants.

I like Edward, he is okay, but I have always been a Team Jacob fan, even when my book club almost had to shun me for rooting for Jacob.
I just loved the hand scene when Bella, Jacob and Mike were at the movie, "Punch Face". That was hilarious!
Anyway, I loved it- I already want to see it again!

Blueberry Picking

We went to The Berry Patch and picked blueberries. It was our first time and we all had a blast!

We will definitely be making this a tradition in our family.

Even Macie couldn't help but eat the blueberries.

Awww...

Projects

This is a bed Greg made for Brady's room. We haven't finished it yet, but we are loving it so far. He is going to make a headboard and we will paint his dressers that same green color. We love the color, and can't wait to see how the dressers turn out.
These are shots of Caleb's room. I did kind of a nautical theme. I made those two pillows on the bed. Which turned out pretty cute. The quilt was made by Greg's grandma.

I also had Greg cut me some wood and then I covered it in fabric to make a headboard. I just put it on today.

We also painted his dressers blue and added new hardware, which we got for free. I picked the color from the pottery barn kids catalog. They list the colors they use in the catalog. That is how we also chose the green color in Brady's room. I figure you almost can't go wrong if it is in Pottery Barn.

We painted this dresser as well. The little man on there is funny, but I got him in England, and haven't figured out where to put him yet.

Projects in Macie's Room

We have been doing projects in the kids bedrooms for a while now. I thought I would share some of the mostly completed things we have done. I definitely have been feeling paint happy!

We painted Macie's dressers white and put new hardware on them. I still need to spray paint the top center nob silver, but haven't gotten to it yet.
I spray painted the stars silver that her dresses are hanging from. They used to be blue and not in her room.

We painted this night stand white and added new hardware. I also got the lamp at Goodwill for a couple dollars. It has dainty roses on it that mimic her white curtains. It even came with the lightbulb.

I bought this glider from a garage sale for $20 and it was a yucky cream color. So I bought some fabric and recovered it all by myself. I was so proud of how it turned out, because I have never recovered furniture before, but it was so easy!

I even recovered the ottoman.
