Nathan's room

This here is Nathan's room. Don't ask me why it is so small. Well Nathan just loves superman as you can tell. It is not like me to do a child's room in a character since they grew out of them so fast. But that is not how Nathan is He has loved superman for years and I figured that it was something that will stick with him. The great thing about his decore it is all removeable. nothing is permanent so when he gets his room painted not sure when that is going to happen. It is going to be easier to redo the entire thing.

Thank You Lucy

Well McKay and I went to Lucy's house to pick up a table that she did not need anymore. Well this is great. It fits in our dinning room perfectly it goes with the things that we have and I just love how now we can now sit at the table and not all feel smashed. The flowers are from Lucy's as well. there is a corner plant stand that you can not see that well that we got from her as well. The great thing is the pots that the flowers are in are pot I bought last fall to go in our bed room and they go in the dinning room perfect now. This table is great I can not wait to be able to entertain with out haveing to hide the old table or worry about the chairs falling apart.

Well so the first room on my blog tour of my house will be my dinning room.



So here is the table McKay and I aranged the flowers. The pictures are animal from our zoo here that I took. The Chandaler is new to the house. It really lights up the room much better then the little light fixture that was there befor.




This is the stairwell leading to the basement. The wall on the right is the same color as the dining room. The wall on the left is a lighter shade of blue. This wall will be the kids art wall. The painting there is one Hope did for Mckay and I for Christmas. The ceiling fan is a new addition to the house. I love ceiling fans and believe they should be in nearly every room of the house!!

It Is My Birthday

Well the kids have so every nicely givin me a cold for my birthday. The are so very thoughtful.

Today I am going bowling I am very excited to go I love to bowl.

A big thank you goes out to my niece Emily for the great header for my blog I love it!!!!!!

The pictures of the house are coming soon I can not find the usb cord for my camera so as soon as it is found there are abunch of pictures to share!!!

But I will be taking pictures of each room (if clean and posting them with a bit of a fact sheet of who's room why it is like it and some stuf about the room.

Now that I am feeling better

Well fist off it is great to be off bed rest for the past week I have been able to cook meals for my family. Do some basic cleaning and laundry. It is also great being able to be out side with them. Last weekend was really nice so we played out side. As the kids played McKay cleaned and organized the garage. I sat at my bistro set and watched them. So then I decided that I would BBQ. I made hamburgers hot dogs then since the coals were still hot I put some chicken on ( why waste hot coals right??). It was fantastic. The kids where so happy. BBQ is one of there favorite things. During the cleaning of the garage we discovered things we no longer use and were able to give some things to our nephew Grant. I really hope he enjoys them.

Monday we went to Grandma's for lunch. I had her hot potato salad I never had it before and I really enjoyed it i will have to make it for the kids one day. After that we went to Quin's House to pick up a power wheel truck that his kids out grown. This was perfect or Avery. it needed some repair and a few parts. but that got McKay to get rid of the jeep and Harley we had that did not work well. So now we have more room in the garage!!!

So now that I am doing better I am able to finish painting Hope's room and Paint the hallway. That is this weeks projects!!!

well I went to the doc

I am healing just fine. I still have to take it easy but I can now cook for my family and do some minor cleaning. I can even go basic shopping. Like if I have to run to the store to pick up a few things but that is it. If I have to do a major shopping it is either make a list and give it to mckay or get an electric chair. So that is okay. So far i have no other complications. And soon i can get back to normal. I can not do my workouts at all and that is the most frustrating. I feel I am turning into flab waaaaaaaaa.
