Projects Galore!

We have a lot of projects going on in our garage right now. I Love It!! We (I) decided we better finish things up while we still have a nice garage to work in.
First things first, Grey's new bed. Here it is before...
After.... We painted it antique white. I can't wait to set it up.
Okay, I need some inspiration from you all. What should I do with this shutter? It's so cute, but I just can't decide what to use it for. Also the HUGE cork board I found at a thrift store and the small window. I just don't know what to use them for. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've also finished my other yellow chair and I'm working on refinishing an old coffee table I found at goodwill for $5. I just love buying old stuff and doing what I want to it.
After a long week of all of this, tomorrow we are headed to Phoenix for a weekend vacation! I'm so excited to see Jamia and her family and Erin and her family! Fun times ahead!
I hope you all enjoy your Memorial Day weekend!

News!

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Yes, I know, but I finally have some news to share. Most of you already know this, I'm pregnant! Yay, Finally! After 6 months of waiting, I'm finally pregnant and couldn't be happier. My due date is Dec. 20th. I would say I can't wait, but, in all reality, I can and I have too. I am very excited for this baby, but I'm also glad I have about 7 months to prepare for another child. I started out feeling very sick and now I feel great! As long as I eat every 2-3 hrs, I'm good. That's a lot, I know, but I have an excuse. I need to start taking belly pics because I already have a little pouch. I love it!!

In other news, we are moving. Okay, I know you hear this from us A LOT, but this time, it's just a short move and it's for the better. We found a cute little place up in Los Alamos, closer to Ryan's work and it will save us some money. I'm very excited about this move. Everything about it will be good for us. And....I can actually decorate in this place. If you know me, you know I love to decorate and in our current place I haven't been able to put one hole in the wall and it's killin me. So, ya, I'm excited! I will definitely post pics!

Everyone is doin great here! Ryan is busy with work. He finally had a Friday off. I love when he gets 3 day weekends. He loves taking his bike out. That's his little getaway.

I am still babysitting twice a week, sometimes more. I have decided to take a break with all my sewing projects. I have to do that every once in a while so I can't ever get sick of it.

Grey is growing up so fast. The other day she had her hair in pigtails and she had her backpack on, she looked like she was headed off to school. I'm glad I still have a couple years with her before that day comes. She loves to dance and she is very good at it. Last weekend we went to a bbq and then we played rockband with our friends and as we were all playing, Grey was up in front dancing away. It was sooo cute. She was not afraid to show her moves in front of all those people. Her new saying is "hey guys." It's the cutest thing ever! I'm sure she got it from me. I say that all the time. She thinks it's so funny to call daddy a princess. She has the cutest giggle! She is dying to go to the beach. We'll have to go sometime this summer.
It will be fun to see how Grey reacts to the new baby. I know she's gonna love him/her.

I hope you are all having a great spring/summer. We are so glad for the warm weather here in New Mexico. It really lifts our spirits to see the green trees and feel the warmth of the sun. We often spend our afternoons on the back porch eating popsicles and making puddles to splash in. Grey loves to splash! Okay, so do I...
