Another House Update!

I moved a few things around in the kitchen. Until we put the shelves up in the dining room, everything is just sitting on the kitchen counters.


Please ignore the meat that Chance was prepping to grill!



New pots for the front door:

Chance's parents came in town and spent quality family time with us. While they were here Chance and his dad decked the attic, so we were able to move so much up there!



I decided to finally paint this dresser that Ashley gave us. We are using it outside as a bar/hang out area. We have a TV and wireless AT&T box as well, so we can take the TV out and hang on the patio now that the weather is nice! (I will get knobs soon! And yes, pictures of our house at night look SO yellow! It's bad but not as bad in person, pictures just made it look extraordinarily awful!

Before picture (and that is a lamp next to it, that I am getting Edison light bulbs for)
 After (still needs knobs)

While I was doing that - Chance was working on a custom firewood holder for the back patio.
He planned it and built it and I stained it for him. Great job Chance!


I'm behind on showing pictures of decorations, but here are two from St Pattys Day:


And some Easter ones:






If you'll remember, when we were in San Francisco on a sibling/mom trip, all of us girls bought crushed wine bottles as spoon rests. Mine has sat on my oven top for months and I cook almost every single night. All of a sudden, the other night I was sitting there stirring our dinner and I heard a snap noise and saw this :(

Guess it's time to go back to San Fran to buy a new one!

Once we added the wood to our foyer wall, we no longer were able to hang the big red clock, so we did this instead:


We've also decided not to stone the bar area, so for now, Chance painted it grey to match the rest of the house:

Chance is on TV!

Chance got an opportunity with the Rangers to be on TV and one night we were laying on the couch watching the spring games and we saw this!

Jocelyn's Baby Shower!

Jocelyn, my best friend, is expecting a baby girl in June!

Her name will be Cadence Sue...I seriously cannot wait to meet the princess!

Rachel, our other bestie and two of Jocelyn's best friends hosted a baby shower to honor miss Cadence at Rachel's mom's house today.

I was in charge of the decorations, so I made her a diaper cake. It was the first I had ever made, so it was definitely a learning experience!





I also punched out a million butterflies to hang on finishing line for the balloons:



I made a cute game called "Who Knows Mommy Best?" And attached a 3D butterfly.
I also made this cute saying:

Stacey and I went in together on the gift and got her this basket full of goodies!

Happy Birthday Krystle!

A few of us girls met for a snack and happy hour after work today to celebrate our good friend Krystle's birthday!
