Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I woke up to wonderful goodies

from my three little men!

Beautiful Roses and a Balloon from Scott

I treated Austin to a heart shaped biscuit from 

Chick-fil-A this morning for breakfast

Jackson keeps asking if he can play with my balloon...

I'm happy to share with my littlest Valentine.

Sweet cards for my boys...

My beautiful hot pink roses!!

And a few days ago...I got a  very special delivery...

I was so excited!!!

It's a girly little home for my new camera!!!

Say "Hello" to Missy in Mint

from Jo Totes!!!

It's awesome!! It has a bunch of little padded dividers that

I can put in there however I want them!  

My new little camera has a new little home and

it's big enough to hold my iPad and lenses and all kinds

of stuff.  My wallet even has a little spot in there...

I LOVE IT!!!

The little men have their Valentine buckets full of goodies...

Ready and waiting until after school...

Austin has a new tuxedo t-shirt and the

regular gift on an iTunes card...

some M & M's, gum and Pac-Man band-aids.

Jackson has a new John Deere t-shirt that came 

with a new tractor toy,

pretzel Flipz, bathtub toys and a new

Thomas the Tank Engine Spin toothbrush and toothpaste...

(Santa usually always brings us new tooth brushes as well

as the Easter Bunny...at least they are responsible....

give the kids candy and then a way to avoid the cavities...)

We had a nice relaxing evening at home...

Scott grilled us some yummy steaks and then he and I

enjoyed a movie after the kids went to bed.

Perfect all around....

Look Out Kindergarten...

Here Comes 

JACKSON!!!

Last night we took Jackson

to Kindergarten Registration...

sniff, sniff...

He looks so big sitting there at the table...

Isaac (Jackson's 2nd cousin) doesn't look very thrilled to

be there...hee hee...

Jackson was also excited to see Carolyn.

She is our back door neighbor.

She and Jackson are about 3 weeks apart in age

and have grown up together...

now they are getting ready

to start Kindergarten!!

The kids had a lot of fun and we are looking forward

to a great year in Kindergarten!!!

One More Painting Project...DONE!

Let me tell you...

Scott has been a painting machine lately!

He's the best!

When we built our house 10 years ago,

I had the kitchen painted a sage green 

and have been really happy with it.

It was just showing it's age and I was

ready for a change.

Scott took everything off the walls and patched

all of the holes...

We have a clock that Scott bought me for my birthday

one year that hangs in between the windows...

we were all lost when we took the clock down!

Looking back towards the kitchen...

say goodbye to Sage Green!

And say "Hello" to Sherwin Williams

Nomadic Desert!

"Mom....I'm busy helping Dad...

I don't have time for a picture"

Ahhhh....nice clean new paint....

I am loving it already.

While he was patching walls and such, Scott

decided to move the phone jack that our electrician

plopped right on top of the edge of the counter top...you know,

where you couldn't hang a phone to hide the jack...

it just sat out there...lookin' ugly!

So, Scott moved it under the desk and

everything was hunky dory until he

realized that the only phone that worked in the house was

the one plugged directly into that line...

but a little climb up in the attic

and an afternoon of talking to him on cell phones 

from the kitchen to the attic and feeding a few wires

through the wall...

we are back in business!

I love that my husband is so handy and can figure

out how to fix just about anything.

Saves more room in the budget for shoes when

I'm not having to always call a repair man!

Moving on around and looking good!

I can't wait to start putting some of 

my things back on the walls and I am going to start 

looking for some new window treatments.

After painting all day,

we cleaned up and went to see my

niece's basketball team play in the

area tournament....

They WON!!!

Way to go Lady Red Devils!

So, three room painted lately...

now it's time to start looking for

window treatments and new accessories.

This may take a while...

we also have a couple of furniture

pieces that I would like to paint

for the Kitchen...

Always something going on....

What's going on with you?
