An anniversary, more water....And a few crafty things :)

So Devon's favorite game lately is to get into anything he can fit into (which, let's be honest...he's tiny so he fits into everything lol) and wants to be pushed around. NOW, his favorite game is to try and get Henry into something, which he has yet to accomplish so far....he usually tries to pick him up and than whines at me that he can't do it so demands help by pointing at Henry and than pointing at whatever he wants me to put Henry in. Yes. It's quite a game. I of course end up pushing them around the house then, while they sqeal like crazy. Who would have thought a $5 hamper would be so entertaining :)


Happy 5 years to us! It definitely has flown by, and I am so happy at where we are in our life right now. I feel like we've been through everything that we could experience and more, so who knows how the rest of our life will be! At least we have each other by our sides though to face whatever comes our way. I love him so much!


Lounging at Grandma's in the pool. "aahh what the life!" lol



Henry is always so happy. You just look at him and he beams, I absolutely love that about him. I hope he is always this happy and content.


My awesome friend Brad Perry married even a more awesome girl named Shauna Eby. She made these wonderful letters for the boys for their room! I totally love them and am so happy she took the time to do them for us.
                                            




(And yes, that is wood paneling! We live in an antique of a home! :) I like to call it my shabby chic cabin haha. I'm making it very girly indeed, ever so slowly so that Andrew can use to all the frills, fabrics and ruffles :) I can't wait to show you the makeup station and our bedroom! (but it's not done yet)



With all the wood paneling it makes our house feel dark. than you come to the kitchen and it's tark white everywhere! Below, you will see the new fabric I used to recover some seat cushions Andrew's mom gave me....so  I took the yellow from the pattern and used the color for some "pop" in the kitchen with "happy fabric" lol. It brightens things up and is fun for me to look at since I am in the kitchen so much. That general store sign I got at a consignment shop...I saw it 3 different times I went in and finally last time said "okay! I'm just going to buy it! It'sstill here so it MUST be for me lol"

A family I use to nanny for was getting a new table and chairs set and so gave us this table and chairs (yes, there's a 4th chair, its just not in the picture). It was a light oak color, and the chairs were mismatched; one was black and oak, another full purple, and another purple and black, I dont know what she was doing1 haha  It has sat in storage, or the basement for years now, just waiting until I could finally use it! I was so excited and am in love with the light blue and white look (I stole the look from one of my magazines haha!)
The yellow wicker basket underneath holds Henry's bibs and baby washcloths so they are close.

And here's the fabric I picked out for the seat cushions! Got the cushions for free and the fabric was on sale for only $8. a yard!


I am getting use to this little antique place. It's helping by changing up a few things and making it more girly. I have a lot more, so fellow bloggers, you will see many little crafty things I'm planning to do! Thanks for reading :)
