New Swing Set!!!



Emmy playing on the swing set right when she woke up :)
About a month ago I finally found a swing set worth buying. When we bought it it looked a little beat up but I thought I could make it over. Finally this week was nice enough to work outside. After 2 hours of sanding, 8 hours of staining and a few new trinkets to attach here is the finished product! The kids LOVE it and have spent every spare moment in our backyard on the swing set and trampoline. I look forward to years of watching my kids play on this!

Chair Makeover

Before ( I know SO GROSS!!! It is impossible to keep cream chairs clean with 2 messy kids) After

I have hated my dining room chairs since we got them!!! A few months ago I found some fabric that was cheap and decided to redo the chairs. I finally found a little time and it only cost me $2 a chair! I think it totally matches my house and am happy with the end result!

VEGAS!

Off to Vegas!!! On our way to shop! The weather was SO nice! I wish we could have seen Celine Dion! The aquarium was so cool! Then we were off to The Cheesecake Factory!!!

Laying out
BEST NACHOS EVER!!! Serendipity 3 was awesome but... we got food poisoning :( Mickey was a little intoxicated and lets just say he was a little friendly.

Sorry if this offends anyone but i had to do it.
Off to see The Lion King!
The Lion King was SO GOOD!!!
Visiting the MGM lions :)
$1.00 gambled...$1.00 lost :(
We had SO much fun!!! We got to ride the NY NY roller coaster right before this and lost our voices from screaming so loud :)
Welcome home to me :)
I took a little girls trip to Vegas last weekend. It was SO FUN!!! I missed my family but it was a much needed getaway. We had fun shopping, eating, more shopping, seeing the Lion King (SO GOOD) walking the strip, talking and laughing. I am so glad I was able to go and am so grateful for my wonderful friends!!!

Big thanks to my sweet husband who watched the kids, cleaned the house (bathrooms and floors included), got the car oil changed, took the kids swimming and so much more. Isn't he awesome!!!

Emmy Got Her Ears Pierced!




Last week Emmy asked if she could get her ears pierced. Matt wanted to wait until she "made the decision" So the next day I took her to Clair's. She was so excited!!! She was not expecting it to hurt as much as it did but she was happy soon after they were pierced! She looks adorable!
