Step One: Tape, tape, and more tape!

I have wanted to post pictures of our house for sometime now, but it just isn't to the picture taking stage yet. There are still little bits and pieces and odds and ends that need to be done in order to make every room somewhat complete. So, in the interim, I thought I would just update on the progress. One of our current projects is the hall bathroom. That mint n' chip green just had to go! So, we are painting. We have the tape up, now the fun really begins . .



Notice the way cute shower curtain? Notice how badly it clashes with the green wall? Now you know why we have to paint.

More Precious Moments

It's late and I need to go to bed, but I had to post these pictures. I caught William and Brandon watching T.V. together and luckily William stayed there long enough for a photo shoot. I just have one question though. Why is it that whenever I am sitting or laying on the couch William just tries to use me as a jungle gym?

Heritage Days

Our trip to California has come and gone and was absolutely fantastic! We took so many pictures and it is way too overwhelming for me to deal with those right now. So, instead, I will share a few pictures from the following weekend. The week after the 4th of July was Heritage Days here in our hometown. Every evening they had a fair with rides and all that jazz. Brandon and I thought we would let William get his first taste of amusement park rides. He, of course, loved anything with a steering wheel. Although he was too stunned by it all to smile, he really did have a good time, and so did we!






The other two pictures are just some special moments I was privileged enough to witness. The first picture, Brandon was singing William his bedtime song and William kept asking for things, first his blue bear, next his brown bear, and finally his blanket. Once he was so cuddled up you could hardly see him, he was willing to sit still for the song.


And the last picture is William giving Brandon some tips on how to fix the water filter under the sink. He looks like he knows what he is talking about, doesn't he?

I have been meaning to post more pictures of William playing in his pool, but haven't had a moment. Luckily, Brandon beat me to it! Follow the link to his blog and check out William on his slide. He has a good time with it.

Just a random quiz that I linked to from Kim's blog. I am avoiding cleaning my bathroom . . . can you tell?

You Are Olive Green

You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself. For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself. You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you. People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.

What Color Green Are You?
