The Doghouse

Soo no home is complete without a dog house right??

Right!!

A few weeks ago we went to a large neighborhood garage sale and I found this flamingo pink dog house.

I just knew we had to have it, then I found out it had heated floors, a heat lamp and a fan for the summer with ventilation??

Kicking the dogs outside doesn't sound half bad now huh?

So after a fresh coat of BM Newport Navy I decided this was a good start.

Considering painting the trim antigua aqua.

I will keep you posted on that one. 

Destin 2012 Part 2

I wish I could say the rest of our time was lazy. But to be honest it was busy busy! Fun, sand filled and busy! haha

Destin 2012 Part 1

Finally I am getting around to posting these photo's!

We had a very busy and fun time at the beach!

The first day of vacation we headed to Presley's Lake near Mobile, AL. 

The in laws joined us and we took the jet ski out! 

The next morning we packed up and headed to Destin. 

Some how I managed to not get any pictures while playing at the beach that day but I got plenty at dinner!

The girls were obsessed with the water

And the collection of the next few photo's is too funny to not include. 

This is what it looks like to photograph a 3 yr old a 15 month old and a 4  month old.

HILARIOUS!!

Everyone walking by us was laughing and so were we.

So we gave up and played some more!

haha

And then our friends who joined us helped us wrangle the kiddos to head in for the evening. haha

be back later with the rest of the trip!

A First Birthday-client

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with this client. 

She is so fun and so full of life. 

We always have a blast together.

(can't wait to show you the progress we are making in her super cute home!)

Her sweet girl recently turned one so we took the opportunity to plan an intimate outdoor soirre for family and friends to celebrate her first year of life.

And the sweet girl herself.

5 months!!

Gracious heavens!!! 

5 months... really?? one month shy of half a year already??

This baby is THE MOST laid back baby you have ever met. I can already tell he is going to be kind, patient, and such a people person. 

This past month the dr put you on high calorie formula because you were staying at a consistent 13 pounds and from day to day even dropping quite a few ounces. It seemed after about 2 weeks on that stuff you gained 2 pounds and really began to take off.

Once we stopped the high cal we reintroduced baby food. you LOVE apples, pears and sweet potatoes. So far you have only had Earth's Best baby food. Once we switch your formula you finally moved up to size 2 diapers!

(this is the size I stock piled so glad to have you in this size)

(normally i think you look exactly like your daddy but in this picture you look a little like me!)

Let's see you have had a few baby mum-mums which you like and you have been drooling like CRAZY. Hopefully that little tooth you are working on will make his debut soon!

This sweet boy melts my heart every single time I look at him! 

He changed sooo much in 5 months.

We love you c man!!

#PrayforTrey

I have tried to find the words to say, to ask, to share about this very special high schooler who lives in my community.

He is battling Pancreatic Cancer.

The lord is using this illness and battle through Trey's life in incredible ways.

He has had radio station's dedicate whole days to him.

How many secular radio stations take time out to bring awareness to a young boy's battle and have people call in and say.. #prayfortrey??

I can't remember any. 

The video really speaks for itself and this is horrible, it's not fair. Cancer is ugly!!

But Trey has such an incredible outlook and knows the lord is using this in his life to bring glory to his kingdom.

If you would like to join me on twitter you can hashtag #prayfortrey. 

If you will keep him and his family in your prayers in the coming months I know they would be ever so grateful!

There are so many prayer warriors  lifting him and his family, and the doctor's at MD Anderson, and St. Jude as we speak.

Join us and #prayfortrey.
