Planters Of Flowers

David spruced up the backyard a bit by adding some planters and flowers. They look pretty nice. Home improvements are always great.

New Furniture For Me

My Mom made me this new table/dresser/piece for my living room. At first, I was like, why is it grey? In the picture she showed me I could have sworn it was white. All my other furniture in the house is white. I was stressing that it didn't match, and can she repaint it? But then I took a deep breath and let it go, and I'm getting used to it. It has lot of drawers which I need, I don't have much storage in this house. She even gave me the lamp on top of it. Pretty neat.
She also helped me hang the curtains I bought a few days ago. She was trimming them for me so they would be the right size, and made little ones for my small windows that I don't know what to do with. She even helped me put tint on the windows so the sun doesn't shine in our face while we watch tv. She's pretty awesome=) So my house got a little fixing up today, which is nice. I never feel like my house is decorated enough, it's so plain. But I am not good at interior design, so I'm so grateful when my Mom helps me out.
The new tint she brought over was much better than the previous one David had put up for us. So much easier and no wrinkles!!

At night the kids experienced what I think was their first blackout. We lost electricity for hours and the kids were growing bored at night. The wifi wasn't working, the tv wasn't turning on, the lights in their room were off, they were over it haha. Emma eventually fell asleep in her bathtub they were playing with, and I just let the girl be. She had a rough night.

Daddy's 29th Birthday

David turned 29 this year! He's almost to the big 3-0. We had dinner at our house for his family. I made pulled pork sandwiches and had chips and birthday cake. It was calm and relaxing, watching the kids play with their toys and just hanging out on the couch. Katie likes when Annabelle comes over to play with her, so she had fun. She just didn't like sharing her attention with Emma haha. It's hard for everyone to play together and get along. Hopefully Zoey and Emma will play as they get older.

Backyard Fun

Emma was playing with her new car Gee Gee bought her today, in the backyard. She is too small to drive herself, but Katie and I took turns pushing her around. She was having so much fun! When she gets older she'll be able to put her feet down and drive like a Flintstone, haha.

Mom's 27!




For my birthday, my Mom came over and helped me clean my house! It was awesomeeeee. We had dinner at my house, too, with my family and David's family. My Mom made tacos and mac n cheese for everyone, and a very yummy cake!


Tacos are my favorite, my Mom makes them for me every year. Extra olives ;)
My camera has been acting up lately, so this is the best picture I got of the girls and me on my birthday =/ 27's not that important anyway, right? lol
                                         



                                         
  My Mom gave me an awesome present, in addition to cleaning my house, she gave (and hung up!) these pictures for me! =) David bought me the birthday calendar, so cute. I wanted that for months.

Pretty good birthday! So thankful for my family! =)

SOD!

I received a check from the Palmdale School District, some sort of retirement fund or savings plan they had set up for me. Since I haven't worked there in so long, they sent me papers to fill out to decide if I wanted a check or they'll just keep the money. So of course I wanted it :p David and I thought this would be the best time to get sod for the backyard, while we have the extra money we weren't counting on. His brother Michael came over to help him. I bought Wing Stop for everyone who showed up to watch them work...lol. And for the workers, too :p
 David had put the fence up a week or two beforehand. Looks cute.
In the end, we didn't have enough, we estimated wrong. We'll need to buy more soon. But more than half is covered in grass now, and I'm very excited. Now my plan is to buy the kids a playground for Christmas. A nice big one. Katie wants Monkey Bars and Emma would love a swing. I've been wanting grass in the backyard since we bought the house! =)

Katie's Beautiful, Every Little Piece

My Mom ordered this for Katie's room. Katie loves to sing, she's great at it. Taylor Swift is my favorite, and these lyrics fit with Katie ;)
 I won't even tell you how hard it was to put this on though!! Especially so high, by myself! lol. There are a few parts that are crooked or messed up, but overall I think it came out really pretty =)

Mickey Table

I bought Mickey plates and cups and a napkin holder for my kitchen table today. So I figured might as well add matching red flowers ;)

Hair by Katie

Jennifer came over to visit and see the house, I think it was her first time. Katie got her to play with her, and she brought Jennifer into her playroom and did her hair. I think it came out lovely. Katie did a great job.

A Little Bit Of Decoration

I'm not very good at decorating my house. But, I wish I was . I ended up ordering a few enlarged prints of our wedding to hang up in our bedroom, just because my room is so darn plain. It didn't make it beautiful and decorated, but it helped. Next, a new comforter. I am currently searching for one I like.

While I was decorating the room, David was out back fixing up the yard. He was taking all the big trees and stumps out for me. Eventually we'd like grass back there. Watching him made me laugh, when my Dad did yard work, he wore the same kind of hat :p Funny.

Katie's Coach

Love this. It makes her room look so pretty. Katie got this for her birthday from Grandma Lynn. My Mom came over tonight and helped me put it up. Since it's so big, it was tricky!


I think it came out nice!

A Meanie Stopped By My House...

Seriously? I'm walking to my car outside, and notice someone did THIS to my window?! How rude. How sick. How expensive =/

I'm pretty sure my house wasn't the only one this happened to, my gardener told me he knew of a few others. Hopefully it never happens again.

 
Thanks for reading my blog!
