The Big Rock Candy Mountain

Last weekend we went down to the Big Rock Candy Mountain with Michael, Erika, and Kayleigh. We all had a blast four wheeling and these are some of the pictures we took with our new camera!!! We are grateful to Aunt Maryann for letting us always get away down there.

Getting Ready!!!

We are getting ready for our little boy to come, and we decided to get a new camera last year so we could be prepared for him, and finally we found one that we loved and we bought it.

Our Memorial Day Adventure

We had a fun good time starting our day preparing for our little one, and ended up making a purchase we have been planning on for awhile, NEW COUCHES!!! We were at I.M. Home and we found this great sectional with a chaise lounge on the end and we just had to get it especially when they had a special going on where we could get $500 back of our purchase. We also were able to find a sweet bed frame that we just had to have.

All that was left was taking the time to get the old couches out of the house. So we had some great helpers in Brandan, Bryant, and some random guy who was walking through our complex. Brandan was happy to take our couches off our hands and the next day ours were delivered.

And finally our new bed.

It's a WONDERFUL life!

Don't I have an AMAZING husband?! I married a wonderful Mr. Fixit! :) He has done such a good job working on our house this summer while he has been out of school. Our closet door looks fabulous, and the new wall is beautiful! I can't believe how quickly he completed the whole project, too! What a hard worker. Good job Matt!!! I'm sure loving the extra space!

I guess this means that it's time to move on to project #2 of the summer...the baby room!!! :) We only have 16 weeks left! (Ok...that's a little terrifying to type...) Anyway. Here are a few items we are going to be purchasing soon. Any tips, advice, or recommendations are definitely welcome!

Chicco Cortina Stroller & Carrier

Simplicity Ellis 4-in-1 Convertible Crib (Espresso)

My Little MVP Bedding Set

There are still so many things to figure out. Such as, I still need to decide what to do about a Bassinet (or something for the first few weeks). We also need to figure out what to do as far as shelving, clothing dresser, changing table, etc. Looks like we have our work cut out for us!!! At least it is fun work... :)

The Closet Door Day Four

It is finally finished!!!

The primer on and ready for paint.

The Closet Door Day Three

Well day 3 we only did a couple of hours of work. We were able to get the mud done and the orange peel spray on. It is ready to be painted now!

The old door is now a wall.

The new closet door and shelf!
