secret storage:)

I've been wanting a place to put blankets in the living and was thinking about buying a storage ottoman. We had gotten this ottoman from someone but it didn't open up...until last weekend!! We took it apart and made our own storage ottoman! I was very impressed with our work so I thought I'd show it off:)

I watched Elise while Mom, Kristen and Mya were visiting Tonya in GA. Jenna was sick today so she came too!!

Easter

I didn't take any pics on Easter but my darling sisters (finally:) sent me some so I thought I'd share a few...
Hey, it's the fam!
the grandchildren (with a bonus shot of Gramps in the background:)
Us
Isn't Raquel adorable!! Angie made the dress-didn't she do a fabulous job?
I didn't get a pic of Mya in her dress but I just think this pic is adorable! So I had to put it on:)

baby's room

So here are a couple pics of the baby's room...I have been throwing a bunch of junk in there and just moved it to the side to take the pics so there won't be any full room pics until I get it all cleaned out. hopefully sometime before July:)




painting the last wall...I helped a little too until I got some paint on the ceiling
these are the cubbies/shelves that Evan made-didn't he do such a nice job!!! Such a good man:)
we/Evan just got the crib up today. I wish I would have taken a pic of it at first-the metal things that hold the mattress up were somehow sticking out 2 inches on each corner. He had set it up while I was gone (we don't the instructions) and when I asked him what he thought of it he said he didn't really like it because it seemed kind of dangerous. So then I looked and saw how he had it and told him I wasn't sure how exactly they were supposed to go in, but I knew that was not the right way...and then he figured it out he likes it very much:)

Just for you Angie:)

Angie is currently walking me through making this...I'll do more later
