I'm in Need of Funky Pillows

I found this funky little rug at Walmart actually for the girls room! I felt like I needed to break up the color. There bed spreads were really worn and I had a mishap with one when I tried to wash it...so I stumbled upon two twin comforters in the same green as their walls.......on clearance...so I got those...then it seemed like there was too much green......


So when I found this rug, I thought the blue matched the center of their daisies on their walls perfectly. And the other colors helped break up some of the green.......But now I feel like I need some funky little pillows for their beds to finish it off.......I wish I could find some with the same material as the rug...or at least the same color scheme!

If anyone has seen anything speak now or forever hold your peace...Thanks!!

Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers

I love to get my yard looking good once all the snow and frost and bad weather has finally left! I love spring for this reason. To me it always looks so dreary until everything is green and blooming! That's when I love to be outside!




















We use to have a Bradford Pear tree in this bed.....actually we made the bed around it and a planted a few little flowers in it each year.....well then one 4th of July....after an excellent day we came home to find our tree all in our front yard and in our neighbors driveway! Poor little Pear tree had to be taken totally down, though my husband never removed the stump! So last summer I decided I was planting creeping phlox to cover it all up! They have really grown alot....and already bloomed this year! They were so pretty , I don't think I got a picture though.

This was the side of our house, we hadn't really done anything with it....I planted a Hosta there last fall when I thinned out my other ones, and I also transplanted Iris's from my mom's house along the side of the house. This year though we decided to go ahead and make it another flower bed. We are trying to really get the front of the house done this year, cause next year we need to concentrate on the back yard once we get our patio poured.
This is the after product of my husbands hard labor putting in the bricks!
Oops....we were 1 bag of mulch short!!! We'll fix that!!










That's the end of my little slide show of flowers!!! I'm sure I'll bore you all more throughout the summer as they grow and different things bloom....but that's it for now!

Double Digits.......Brienne turns 1-0!!!

This year Brienne decided that she didn't want to have her usual friends and family big birthday party that I've done for the kids since they breathed their first breath of air.....she's growing up on me! She decided she wanted me to take her and her friends to paint at the Paint Spot and then out to eat.
Well as it turned out only one friend was able to go...we invited last minute because Brienne had been so sick...so Brienne decided that her brother and sister could tag along, and then my aunt and mom came as well!
Aaron had an absolute ball! He was in seventh heaven and told me he wanted to be an artist when he grew up so he could paint all the time!


It just made me get all warm and fuzzy inside watching him paint!!!




Chasity kept getting pain on her nose and she never even knew it! Even as I snapped away! I guess she's so use to me and my camera by now she thinks nothing of it!
This is Aaron with his finished Strawberry ice cream cone (his favorite), we had to leave the pieces there to be glazed and fired, but I will pick them up next Friday and I'll take new pics and post them so you guys can see the finished product!
Chasity with Pengu....Pengu is her webkins Penquin that she is obsessed with!!!
Brienne's finished product was a flower trinket box......for her to put all her earrings in.
After the fun and mess of painting Brienne decided she wanted to go to O'Charley's for dinner......and the kids were starving! This picture is Aaron and Chasity with my Aunt Sara.
This is Brienne and her friend Hannah
Me and my Mom!

It turned out to be a really nice night and Brienne had a really good time!!!!

Happy Birthday my Big Baby Girl!!!!
