Aiden's room!

So, after much to our avail, the room is finished! There are a few small paint touch ups and one evil corner piece that broke that needs to be fixed, but other than that, the room looks amazing!! I will post some nasty before pictures, and then the beautiful after pictures! :) I hope you guys enjoy!

What's for dinner tonight?!

Tonight my dad is coming over to do Aiden's chair rail in his room! Nothing like having a friend come in from out of town motivate you to get stuff done!

So, I am making orange chicken in the crock pot, which will probably make him sick, because everything does! But.... I found the recipe here...

I will let you know how it goes! Oh, I am also serving it over rice with a side of fiesta corn! :) Hope everyone has a wonderful day! :)

Update on the house!

So, it has been a few months, and I wanted to start getting more into this blog! We have made leaps and bounds when it comes to our house, which we will share with everyone soon! And, tonight we are installing chair rail in our son's room, which I cannot wait to get up and painted! (The non-straight line is driving me nuts!) For now, I can add some before and during pictures of our yard, because we are patiently waiting on the grass to grow! I promise to be more on top of blogging from now on!

We also just celebrated Aiden's second Halloween, but his first Halloween trick-or-treating! He was a little dinosaur, the cutest one ever!

I want to add that my best friend is coming into town this weekend to have her baby shower! Yay! :)

The Casa

So, we are awaiting the wonderful day of closing on our first house, which may I add, has taken us forever to get.

After jumping through many loop holes (leins, burst pipe, poor credit <- that was not our fault), we finally are closing this week on our house. I will post some preliminary pictures of our house that we took while looking at houses! Here ya go!

As you can tell, it needs some TLC! But trust me, it will get so much love! :) More pictures to come! Have a great weekend!

New bedding!

So, for the second anniversary, the gift is Linens. So, as we are coming up on our second wedding anniversary (Eek!), I ordered new bedding for us!! It is beautiful! Pictures of the before and after to come! Here is a hint!

So the last few months....

Have been a whirlwind to say the least. Instead of spending a vast amount of time on my computer, I decided to spend some time enjoying life, which is exactly what we did! We went to Las Vegas last weekend with our favorite couple friend, and my best friend, Aiden turns one tomorrow, and his party is on Saturday!

We tried to find a house to buy, which was super unsuccessful, considering our realtor acted like he had never done his job before, so we decided to take a break, and on this house hiatus that we are on, find a new realtor, one with some balls!

In the last two months, Aiden went from crawling to walking, and now walking to running, and now running to wiping out!! Here are some pictures from the last two months where I have been MIA!
