Hello Old Friend

Hello All,

I’d love to tell you that we are completely moved in and my house is amazingly clean and perfect…but that’d be a HUGE lie.  We are still in the process of moving everything in.  We don’t want to just move boxes in and let them sit there.  So, in its long process, any time a box is brought in, it’s gone through and everything is going in a certain place.  The down fall to this is that we have another trailer full of stuff that hasn’t been brought over.  In that trailer is some of our furniture (aka my storage) so some things coming out of boxes have nowhere to go.  My Amazing new craft room/office has no storage yet since it’s in the trailer so it is a complete mess.  I don’t even know where my hot glue gun is…eeeek! I have been able to do a few crafts but not as much as I have been wanting.  I did just buy a folding table to use as my craft table/desk till I get to make the trip down to Ikea to purchase my desk (along with a million other things) but I’m not sure when that will be.  I will say however that we are loving the new house and it amazes me that we have been in there over a month, truly it feels much longer. 

He loves his big boy chair outside with Mommy & Daddies.

At our old house we never sat outside or did much outside in general.  At the new house we love it.  It’s quiet and sometimes in the evening we can see and hear (sometimes smell..gross) the cows next door.  Lexi and Jax love to run in the backyard and we just sit and watch them play.  We bought a little pool that he can’t get enough of.  He wants in it ALL the time, even when it’s chilly.  He and his two best friends are taking swim lessons at the YMCA and he is really starting to enjoy the water, he still doesn’t like it in his face but we are hoping that goes away.  He is growing up so quickly.  I know all mothers tell you that when you’re pregnant “it goes so fast, try and take it all in” well how true that is.  I swear he is a different kid every day. He amazes me with how smart he is.  He talks non-stop (wonder where he gets that from), loves to read, and play outside.  My only complaint is he LOVES (like watches episodes in a row if I let him) Yo Gabba Gabba, now as an adult I cannot stand that dang show.  I don’t know what in the world those people were on when they came up with that show.  But hey, it gives me a few min to get stuff done.

Well this is all for now, ill try to get more stuff done to the house this weekend and take a few pics of rooms to show.  Have a good one, and Thunder Up!

Its officially OURS!!

We couldn't be happier about our new house.  The hubs is checking the mail, and hiding the house number..sneaky, sneaky.  We have been moving in this weekend and still have a lot left to do but we are taking it slow.  There is no rush.

 

We were going to have a play date at the new house on Saturday night but our BRAND NEW AC wasn't working and it was 80 degrees in our house...so we had to move it.  The kids had such a good time.  They loved riding in the wagon.  

My Week

Well to start off, i have been sick for about two weeks now. I'm so glad to finally be feeling better. I still have a cough, but i think its slowly going away. We had a couple put an offer on our house, and we ACCEPTED!! We have the inspection today, and hopefully we will be closing the end of the month. With that being said, they had to kick it into high gear to get the new house done in time. Here is the front, with the final paint colors. Elephant Skin Grey, white columns and trim, and a black beautiful front door. I cant wait for it to be done, and move it. I have been wanting this house for so long. We picked out the carpet/hardwood and lighting last week. They have the lighting and hardware already done. Ill try to get over this weekend and get some updated pictures.

We had a visitor at work today. Talk about a good friday. This is Rumble, Oklahoma City Thunders mascot. He came by to see a guy for his birthday. He really is the best mascot. So friendly and completely full of energy.

Along with being sick, my munchkin has been teething, and also has had a virus. I was trying to get him to laugh at the dr's office. Mission completed. I love that sweet smile and those big cherry cheeks.

Today at lunch, they gave them Chili Cheese Nachos. He LOVED them. He has had them once before and the outcome was the same. Messy face. Lets just say i'm glad im not cleaning that mess. ;) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I know i'm ready for a little (not sick) time with my family.

Brass Brass Brass

Ugh, I never thought I wold say that i want a "brass" light fixture in my house. It so reminds me of my parents house when it was build in the 90's. I have found a fixture at Home Depot, that i fell in love with. I have redone my office to have it as the light fixture in there.

The main idea of this board came from this amazing website. If you need any ideas for some home decor, please check out her website. So many good ideas.

Elephant Skin

This is the color the new house will be. The trim will be a whitter color but but gray is Elephant Skin. We love how it looks. The front door will be black.

So many moods..

Mood Boards that is..here are just a few..

Living Room this is with the regular sofa, the other just has the same sofa but the sectional version.

The Kitchen: I would use my Aqua storage piece to hold my white serving pieces, and kitchen linens. Or use it in the office..... The office: I am going to paint the walls gray, this has my aqua cabinet in it.
This office version uses a different storage unit, and different fabric for the curtains, or bench.

The playroom, I want bright colors in there, but also a chalkboard wall. I have started gathering random letters for the alphabet wall.
