Halloween and Family Time

Well hey there! My goodness, life has been a little hectic and a little boring (if that's possible??) Jax and Izzy have been growing and changing so much!  Isabel has officially said her first word "dada" and she is eating mostly solid foods now, just breastfeeding before naps/bedtime.   She can roll EVERYWHERE and she is ALMOST crawling.  She smiles more and more everyday and she has everone wrapped around her finger =).  I am constantly amazed at the things Jax picks up... So tonight after tripping over his little stool in the kitchen for the third time (and after a very long and tiring day and night of nursing 2 sick kiddos) I flipped... I kicked the stool and turned on the mean mommy voice "this thing can't be in here anymore!" Well Jax just happened to be sitting at the kitchen counter and informed me straight away that I wasn't "being very nice" and he was "very dissapointed in me."  Then he brought his stool back into the kitchen and placed it under the sink and said "mommy next time just say Jackson please move this and I will come and move it for you." Needless to say I felt pretty bad about the whole thing and appologized for my outburst and he got to walk away feeling pretty good about himself LOL.  The kids have their first colds of the season and lemme tell ya, this momma's tired! 



We had an awesome time at the pumpkin patch this last weeked and we came home with some pretty nice pumpkins (which still need to be carved.)  I started decorating the front porch for Halloween and its looking pretty cute! I got some bats and gravestones from Michaels and I already did a crafty pom pom pumkin that I saw on pinterest.  I am still planning on doing a glitter pumpkin and then carving the other two.  


We haven't been able to get much work done on the house but I did order some more cute pillowcases on Etsy and some cute target canisters and I LOVE them! I am trying to bring more fun colors into the house... I am usually a beige, brown, blue girl.




Here are some pics from Pumpkin patchin...



And... her shoes didn't exactly fit...

Playroom Sneak Peak and Update

Hey There! Well, I started the playroom project but it has temporarily been stalled until??? I think I have just been a little overwhelmed lately.  Jax is getting more rambunctious and Isabel is starting to sleep less during the days and needing more and more of me, which I love but it has definetly changed my days.  

We are also still trying to get our downstairs half bath finished , which really wont take much more, it just needs to be installed...

On another note, last weekend I went to Denver to help my sister move into her new place and it is GORGEOUS!  Sometimes I wish we lived in a community that had all of those amenities: club house, swimming pool, tennis courts, trails! Anywho... she is doing really good and the move went pretty fast.  I also got to spend some time with my adorable nephew who whooped my but in battleship.

Yesterday we went on a gorgeous drive up to glade park and hung out with some of our cousins and they made campfire peach cobbler! AMAZING! There were deer everywhere up there and I got a few pictures of a doe that walked right up to the campsite, I think she was waiting on come corn husks...

Anyways, I know these pics are already on instagram but what's a posting withought pics!

House Tour - Isabel's Room

Here are a few shots of baby girl's room.  It's still a work in progress.  I really want to paint the walls a light grey and add some board and batten (gotta love the 10 million projects at a time thing.)  Maybe someday all of these things will get done! =)




After we added the glider I just wasn't sure about the furniture placement but I like being able to look out the window when I rock her...I don't know what to do here? The room is TINY so my options are limited...


Have a safe weekend!

Flashback Friday

Jackson's 2nd Birthday

I had so much fun planning Jackson's 2nd birthday party. I ordered a the little man mustache bash packet from BelvaJune on Etsy and went a little balloon crazy too but the party turned out pretty cute I think =)











I kind of dropped the ball on the cake, it was a last minute purchase at the grocery store but the bakery was so sweet and amped up the cake with our colors and a mustached man =)









Overall, it was a pretty awesome party I think.

House Tour - Jax's Room






Sorry the lighting is horrible.  I took these a while ago but there really hasn't been much change, we have just turned his bed to the side and put his train table up here, added a bean bag chair and we had to get rid of the lanterns because they bounced around too much when the fan was turned on





The surfboard was from his nursery we did a beach/surf theme and we had family and friends sign it when they came to visit.

Zoo Day

We made a trip up to Denver this weekend and had such a good time bonding with family around nightly backyard bonfires.  We went to the Denver Zoo on the second day and all of the cousins had a blast! Not gunna lie, it was HOT and I forgot to charge my camera battery so these are just pics from the beginning of the zoo trip =/.Jackson's favorite movie right now is Madagascar so he was pretty stoked to see Alex the lion =)
