Tracy's Baby Shower and Kitchen Remodel!

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sweet friend Tracy!

She is having a little girl named Whitney Elizabeth, but they will call her Libby.


This is a little painting I did for Libby's nursery. Not the best picture ever taken, but you get the idea!

Our colors were Tiffany blue and pearl.

The girls, me (awful pic!), host#2, Tish, Mom to be Tracy holding her niece Zoey, and host #3 Aleigha, sister in law

For some reason, I decided to redo my kitchen the week before the shower. I am nuts. This is the before...
And after!

My dad did the plumbing and bead board back splash. Thanks dad!
I also repainted my bathroom and formal living room with the help from my mom. I'll post those soon!

Clean House and New Colors!

Welcome to our home! I spent the last two weeks cleaning it and organizing our house to perfection! We are refinancing and had an appraisal. The appraisal went better than expected, so all of the hard work paid off!

Formal living and dining

Family room- aka Greg's TV room


Kitchen... since the appraisal went so well I am getting granite counter tops next week!


My bathroom- soon to be painted a light tiffany blue


Greg's office/guest room. The dog made us get rid of the headboard and bed rails- she has 2 blown ACLs and couldn't get on it unless it was on the floor. The price we pay for our sweet pets! Love them.
My crazy studio. Cleanest it has been since I first cleared it all out!

Our relaxing bedroom
It's really not THIS blue- flash does crazy things!

The formal living and dining will be painted an ice blue this weekend!

Finally the CHRISTMAS Post!

Finally- I can write about Christmas! I have had a looming deadline over my head, but now it has passed! I'm tired though, so this will be a shorty text wise!

Our tree! Love our tree. Makes me so happy.

Snow on Christmas Eve in our back yard!

My Greg decided to grow a beard. I kind of like it. Scruffy!

I got the hook up from G.
G didn't do so bad himself! A mini helmet with Mack Brown, Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley's autographs!
I got a beautiful new Coach bag, some precious bow Tiffany earrings, a fabulous silver scarf and a sweet ring. Greg is the best gift buyer ever!

I got Greg some swanky binoculars for some hummingbird, squirrel watching and moon/star gazing.


After we opened gifts at our house Christmas morning, we headed to the chaos of my parent's house who have 3 granddaughters. Katie, 9, Sarah 3 and Alison 9 months.
Could their faces be any better?!?


What Katie is so excited about- a bookshelf my awesome dad made. Even has shelves for 2 American Girl dolls on the ends! Complete with lights for reading and spot lights on the dolls! My dad rocks. It now happily hangs above her bed!

Sarah got a new red kitchen! She loves to cook like mom. She is so sweet!

My parents said that we should all go easy on gifts this year- puleese.

My mom's gift- Murray the Christmas Moose!

On Saturday we drove out to Arlington to have lunch with Greg's parents. We always have to bring a dog! Oscar was the lucky boy this year!

My two boys and me! Loved Christmas 2009!!!
