Happy Birthday Lauren!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!!

More than a friend, a sister!

Lauren is such an awesome friend, we met back in high school and we have been best friends ever since. Sadly we are on two different sides of the country her in Cali and me in WV but the friendship has always been the same pick up like we never left! She is always there for me when I need her and we know that there is always a shoulder for whatever support is needed. I hope she has the best birthday ever and hopefully we will see each other soon.

Love ya sista!

Weekend with Dylan

About a week ago Rae, Bill and Dylan came for a visit. We did chicken on a stick because thats the fun thing to do when family comes to visit.

On Saturday, Mountain Mans dad arrived around 11 and his mom at noon. Rae, Bill and Dylan got there around 1, we already had the chickens on and I was in the kitchen working on decorating a carrot cake I made. I also made green bean casserole and cheesy potatoes for dinner, after Rae got there she made baked mac & cheese. We cooked and enjoyed each others company by the fire. Mountain Man, Bill and Dylan had fun changing the rotors and breaks on the VW. Our friend Dwane and Rachel came up to hang out have dinner. We had so much fun relaxing and playing some apples to apples. 

On Sunday when Rae and Bill left Dylan decided to stay with Aunt & Uncle for a few days!! He had so much fun playing with Mountain Man!

 Sunday night was Super Bowl so we headed down to Nana's and there was very little game watching and a lot of playing around!

Monday was a beautiful day, it SNOWED!! We had so much fun playing outside in the snow!

Tuesday we spent most of the day at Nana's since she took the afternoon off to spend with Little Man!

Mountain Man showed Dylan the fun of behind the couch and Dylan loved it!

Dylan also learned the fun of a selfie!

Sadly on Wednesday we had to take Little Man back home. We had so much fun with him, he is such a good boy. He went to bed like a champ, he ate really well and was a blast! He will be back soon and we can't wait.

Our Bedroom

So recently I have been woking on sewing and making fun stuff for our bedroom! I found the fabric for the bedroom over a year ago and was so excited to put it all together!

The piece that I started to do the room around was this cute little dresser that I painted and covered the drawers with the fun fabrics. I redid the dresser last spring while we were still in Peoria and have been thinking about how I was going to do all the other stuff I had planned.

 So A few weeks ago I started on the curtains and I love how they turned out! Laying out the fabric and making sure I loved the layout was a lot of fun.

Then I tackled the head board and I love it! It was so so easy, it was cardboard and a few wood supports on the edges and in the middle. For our king size bed I bought 2 moving boxes at Walmart cut those and played them on top of each other and pulled them out to the correct width. I used the staple gun to connect them and then we stapled the cardboard to the wood frame. Next I folded a twin size quilt batting and stapled that to the frame and coved that all with the pieced fabric!

Until I can get the painting done, I at least got most of it done and I love how our pictures turned out!
