Mardi Gras in mobile

We went down to experience mardi gras and stay with the inlaws for the week.

The kids had a blast! 

We brought warm clothes then it got cold... Then it rewarmed. The sun was bright and it was a nice change of scenery! 

Sister loved just hanging out between parades.

Bath time was apparently really funny to baby whit! 

The connor's were reunited! 

And I learned how hard it is to take selfies with a 5 year old!

The king cake was awesome and now we begin the season of Lent! 

Do y'all celebrate mardi gras? 

If so where? I enjoyed being apart of this for the second time and sharing this tradition daddy grew up with our kids! 

Alabama Gymnastics

These crack me up!!!

Baby w's first Alabama sporting event!

C talked up big al until he got this close. 

And the only picture I could get of all 3!!

I keep telling myself not to wish this stage away but man are they wild!!!

8 Months

This month this little pickle was busy busy busy!!! His crawling got faster and he was doing everything he could to keep up with big sister and big brother!!

Unfortunately he still isn't sleeping fully through the night, but majority of that has been from cutting teeth, congestion, and an ear infection that lasted for a month. No fun. 

He has discovered he is funny and smiles, then after the smile story's and wrinkles his nose. Sooo funny!!!

And as you can see, Clearly this month was all about the sticker!!!

He has been my baby that one day he is all baby and the next doing 3 new things! 

This month he really started to eat food more regularly, loved having oatmeal for breakfast, and even got to taste a donut! 

His face totally says it all!!

His stats this month: 

He lost weight being sick and has dropped to 17.5 pounds. So around 40%

He is still short and in the 30% percent for length at 27.5".

He moved from a size 2 diaper up to a size 3

And transitioned from the rest of the homemade baby food we made to joining us in eating what we eat at dinner! 

A Room for Two: Client Edition

Wanted to share the progress in a little girls room I have been working on!

And on this one I think we will reveal the sources. 

You won't believe me if I don't! The budget for this room is reasonable. It's what a lot of people really want to spend on a room and don't know how to get a whole room for this price! 

Here is the before:

After figuring out the needs of this room we decided to move sister in here! Mom found the main fabric and we have had a blast piecing this room together. We did Not do a style board for the main reason being the budget. If we found something that could work and it fit the bill we went for it!

Here is where we are right now. We still have a few finishing touches but it is coming together beautifully! 

The pink swatch is going to be our euro shams! Hope to get those made before spring break! 

Can't wait to have this room completed!!

Actually seeing progress...

You see this??

And this? 

And this guy? 

Well... We are 9 outlets short of switching out every single electrical port in the downstairs of our home! Swapping electrical and all lighting downstairs before any major project was out deal!! 

Hubby rocks and has been working on this during Sunday afternoon naps for the past 5 weeks. 

39 total.... Only 9 to go!!!!! Eeek!!! Makes the house just feel fresh and new!!!!! 

A Baby Shower

A dear friend of mine is expecting so several people got together to throw her a shower for baby! 

We used my stork from whit as our door decor!

The first of the gifts! 

Everything was so yummy!! 

I had sooo much fun making this banner as decor for the party!! 

And it was so fun to see all things girly. We have been snips and snails over here for a while now! 

Now I am ready to meet this little one!

Valentines 2014
