New house pictures!

So I have been on a buying spree picking up a few things that I have found at garage sales, thrift stores and antique shops. My house is no where close to where I want it but im building it slowly Its closer now than it was before for sure!


Check out this mirror!!! Its hard to take a picture of a mirror so its the best I got! Garage sale find 3 bucks!



I am in love with this coffee table that I scored from a garage sale this past weekend.
and another new love! A painted buffet. Seriously love it. No more to say.
I plan on trying to make one of the drawers fold down so we can stow the tv equipment in there and be able to hide it. for now its like this.




Dining room with a new table setting. I also have a white tablecloth that I love but I cant leave it on there because G is messy with a capital M when he eats right now. Sorry for the bad bad picture.
Grouping on my coffee table

Bedroom! I changed things around a bit. Does the table at the end of the bed look silly?

Living room with the new slipcover I got for my couch off Craigslist!!

A few pictures of myself... im sure your tired of looking at me but this is mostly for my family :)

and thats all! If i buy anything else anytime soon I will be in big trouble with the husband!

Nutella, baking and a new car for mommy :)

Greyson and I made some homemade banana blueberry mini muffins. He actually did really good helping me stir and put them in the pan to be baked. Of course it got all over the muffin pan but hey he did it!!

Stirring like a champ :)


What does this taste like?????




All ready to go into the oven


The finished product. We had them for breakfast this morning!
First Nutella experience. Greyson is not allowed to take peanut butter to his PDO program. So i was thinking of alternative stuff to make sandwiches with. Nutella is so yummy and I thought id get some and see if Greyson liked it... well see below :)

hmmmm what is this??

After the first bite this is what he did.....LOL!!!!


I think more ended up on his face than in his stomach but hey it was cute and he enjoyed it :)

We decided it was time I got a new car. So we decided on a 2008 Suzuki XL-7 (well I did). Let me just say I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.. Did I say I love it?




Seth took these pictures at 6am. So I will have to take some better ones this weekend.

And no they are not the same picture!

Thats all !

First day of Parents day out (we call it school)

Well today was Greyson's first day of PDO (parents day out) program. I decided a bit ago that I was going to enroll him in something like this to give him a chance to get away from mommy and me the chance to have a few hours a week to myself. So from here on he is going on Tuesday from 9:15-1:15.

Today was his first day and they said he did well, cried on and off a few times but no major meltdowns. Score one for the mommy as I thought he would have a fit the whole 4 hours and stayed in town close by just in case I had to go over and get him. Instead he surprised me and did well considering no one other than Seth and once my friend Jen has kept him. So I was proud of him. We got him a backpack and new lunch bag, and his Nona sent him up a Curious George lunchbox that will be in rotation also. Today he choose the cars one because he thinks the George one is his to put all his toys in :)

So anywho.. a few pictures right before we walked out the door.. as you can see he was more than ready to get out the door... come on already mom.. oh and guess who decided to sleep in today.. yep Greyson.. Most mornings he is up by 8am but normally 7:30 today he got up at 8:25.

And this is what Greyson had for lunch. Well part of it. He is missing his milk, blueberries (in another container and water. From right to left:
1/2 piece of cornbread muffin, 3 ritz crackers, 2 salami rolls, 2 ham rolls,cubed chedder, raisens with chocolate chip bears and a 1/2 of a strawberry cereal bar.

Nothing better than a fudgesickle!

Tonight I decided to give Greyson his first ever fudgesickle. I know im a bad mom not letting him have a fudgesickle, but hey at least he got one before he turned two! There are a lot of food items he has never had I must say. For anyone who is wondering about the plastic lid.... it keeps the ice cream that is slowly melting cause you know kids cant eat it fast enough from making a mess. It actually works WAY better if you take an old plastic butter lid or something and take some scissors and make a whole for the stick to go through. We still had a little leaking but not as much!







Something he learned from his daddy! Drinking the milk out of his bowl after he eats his cereal. Problem is he eats all the cereal, drinks all the milk then says more... so you then have to repeat this process oh about 3-4 times.

Parks and hair cuts :)

We decided last minute yesterday to call Seth's parent and ask them to meet us in Emporia for the day. They agreed so we drove the almost 2 hours there and met them. We decided to go to the park and let Greyson run around.

On the way there:
Playing at the park:

Daddy has to play to :)


And mommy got a hair cut!! I needed a trim so I went for that. Instead after talking to the girl a few mintues I said I would like something different. Well she gave it to me thats for sure. Seeing the old pictures of me from last week it kinda makes me sad :( I miss my longer curly hair... but its only hair and its still curly just not long! And oh the maintence! I have to blow dry and then flat iron my hair so I can tell you unless I get it down to less than 10minutes it will only be staying like this till it grows out and looks good curly!

It was really windy at the park!
