Showing off her skills...

If I had a money tree...

Some inspirations for Blue's nursery...OH TO DREAM!

What WE are into these days...

ME...half way there!!!

Pickles, LOAD EM UP, YES please!

*Side note- I usually HATE pickles.*

These 2 are pretty self explanatory.

Just put new floors in our house!

Currently wanting to retile my fireplace. My head is going to explode with all the tiles I have looked at.

I like a herringbone pattern...

or the mini sticks...

or just glass...

And what does new floors and a new fireplace need...NEW PAINT on the walls of course:)

like this white color...

LOVE this rug...Does someone have $2000 I could borrow?

Just redid my bed exactly like this headboard!

This was my inspiration bedroom...still have a long way to go.

And of course FABRIC for Blue's room.

Am I nesting?!!! I don't think so. I LOVE house projects. This is all things we have wanted to do since we moved in 3 years ago. Just now getting around to them.

BRIAN...

He has spent a lot of time in the yard....since Momma is too tired these days.

Moving furniture around. We are currently turning Maggie's room into her big girl room and making room for a nursery as well. Bye Bye office...oh well.

Golf...he has been playing a lot of golf lately.

IPAD apps. You will find a small light on in our bedroom every night from 10-12. It is Brian and the dern IPAD.

MAGGIE MOO

CUPS...I cannot even begin to express her love for these cups. She takes these everywhere with her, even to bed. She stacks and re-stacks them approximately 100 times a day. If one is missing we turn the house upside down until we find it. She LOVES them.

Some others...

Every afternoon after I pick her up from school, when we pull into our neighborhood she starts asking for "mellows." I made the mistake of giving them to her one afternoon as a snack and that was the end of that. It is a full out fit if she sees them and I don't give her a few. Notice I said a few. Good thing she thinks 3 mini marsh mellows is a BIG treat!

Squeeze packs, NEVER leave home without them. Its like baby food in a pack she just squeezes right into her mouth. She eats these for a snack everyday, and sometimes twice a day. I get them at Target. They are all natural and organic, so very healthy! Guess it makes up for the marsh mellows.

That's it for now. Pics to come of all my house projects!!

Seaside 2011

The beach trip was an absolute blast!! Maggie was so much fun and was great the entire trip. She loved everything about the trip: the beach, the pool, Baby Jack, the grilled cheese's and fresh squeezed lemonade, but she especially loved all the family being together.

Brian got to play a little tennis when we first arrived. He had his biggest cheerleader there!

Holding baby Jack for the first time:)

she loves this little guy so much!

July 4th we watched fireworks at Seaside. Maggie was amazed by the "Pop Pop Boom Booms." Pop bought her these glow in the dark swords and she was truly fascinated the entire time!

Just being sweet as pie...

Loved our many trips to the "mimmin pool."

She LOVED the beach. She would have just spent the night our here if we would have let her. She loved the water, the waves, the birds, and building sandcastles.

She would run full force into the water.

Off to dinner...

Wearing YaYa's bracelets

Sometimes a girl just needs a nap...even at the pool.

Enjoying one of her many fresh squeezed lemonades!

Sharing with Daddy

Modeling her new Seaside shirt

look at these curls:)

Sweet face

Maggie with YaYa and Pop

We did a little night swimming also. Jack came along for his first dip in the pool. Those rolls are yummier than Sister Schuberts!

She would climb up the edge of the pool and say "1, 2, 3, Gump!" Then jump right on in, whether you were ready or not. Let's just say we had to be on our toes at all times!

Anytime we would do something fun, Maggie would throw her hands in the air and say "Woo Hoo!" We have NO idea where she learned this. Maybe school.

I was so worried about her burning that I put 50 on her the entire week. I was afraid she may have Brian's skin. Turns out my little girl got brown as a berry, and tans really easy. Her hair also lightened up a ton. I can't wait to take her back. It was the best week yet! Thanks to my parents for such a lovely and wonderful vacation we will always treasure!!
