Jaxon's Holiday Performance, Mom's Birthday Dinner & Kyler's at Camp!

Jax had his first holiday performance and he was so stinkin' cute!

At times he would be really into it....and at times not so interested. It was really sweet! He clapped and sang and did all the hand symbols to rock baby Jesus to sleep and what not. And he loved to clap after the song was over, like "Oh yeah I just rocked that song!"













































































































































































































After dinner, my mom, dad, Nate, Stacey, Jason, Mandy, Ethan, Jax, Mimi, Granddad, Chance and myself all went out to eat to celebrate Jax's awesome performance and my mom's birthday! My mom is leaving for London in a few days, so we bought her a pedicure and massage because we know her feet will hurt from sightseeing when she returns!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Kyler wasn't there because he was away at his 5th Grade Camp. Mandy was glad he was having fun, but missed him!

Lots of love!

Another update :)

I finally bought some new towels for the master bathroom. We had been using white ones that have now moved to the guest bathroom. 
I don't like our towel holder and have plans to remove that towel bar. I already bought the hooks and shelves for that wall, but I'm waiting until we paint this room. 



My sister stayed the weekend with me and helped me hang the bamboo shades in the dining room and living room!



She also helped me set the study, which is why our table is missing above. It's actually a desk...a really BIG one, and I believe Santa is bringing us a desk but I wanted to see what one room almost finished looked like. P.S. we are also getting a new dining table soon!
We hung the shelves, but I still need to stain them. 


















This is the map wall. I am going to buy a new one, because during the move this one got crunched :(
 














And before Stacey left, you could barely walk in our garage, so once she left I got busy. I had to send her this pic. She couldn't believe it!

Update on the house...

Here are just a few pictures to show where we are at in the process...



Plank walls - Part 3!

The walls have finally come to a close...
In our bedroom, we put two coats of paint on them, and then finally were able to pull the room together. Our bed and mirrors have been sitting in boxes outside in the garage since we moved in.





















Our bed, mirrors, dresser and curtains all could come in at that point...

I still need to get curtain tie backs, and debating on whether or not to do bamboo shades in here like we did in the living and dining room.



















Still not completely sold on this comforter by Nate Berkus from Target, and the pillows are definitely not staying this way. I just threw a few on there.



















And I will be putting 3 smaller gold frames above the headboard, and haven't ordered nightstands just yet so I grabbed the nightstand and chair out of the guest room to fill our room for now.















This also isn't the TV that belongs in this room, this one goes in the guest room but during moving our TV cord got misplaced or thrown away so I need to order a new one. In the meantime, the guest bedroom TV is working just fine.




















I also bought black out curtains so the room would cool down some, it gets extra hot compared to the rest of the house, and I ran out of clips which is why they look so sad hanging on the rod...need to remember to pick some more up!



















I made my way into the study and put one coat on the wall and something was just not right!

I remembered that I accidentally grabbed oil based primer, and this was a water based paint so I wasn't sure if that was going to be an issue...well apparently it is!








































I will have to scrap these coats off and start from scratch with a water based primer (like I used in the master room) and a water based paint.

A few other pics I randomly took this weekend:



Hunting Season!

It just so happened we moved into our house during hunting season, and Chance is typically away on weekends. Everyone always asks me what he is doing...well here are a few pics of what he and my dad, his BFF, have been up to...






















UPDATE:
Chance told me he was bringing home meat but he did not prepare me for how much...he brought home 100+ pounds of elk and hog!
