Before and After
Sorry I haven't posted these already.

Playroom transformation BEFORE:

AFTER: Since taking this picture I have filled the frames with my kids' pictures least you think I only hang old missionary pictures. hee he BTW the color on this wall is still the same as before, Avocado Green from Kelly Moore Paints, but due to the lighting the color is washed out.

Etsy is a wonderful place to find vinyl. I had a company custom make this branch for me.



BEFORE: The dresser of my youth. It was once painted green, then we striped it down and did a cherry stain on it about 17 years ago and then. . .




AFTER: We painted it baby blue with the most amazing milk paint EVER. Many people have asked me where to purchase milk paint and we bought it at Four Chairs in Lindon!!


BEFORE: This is the playroom in all its hand me down beauty. Hand me down t.v., console, etc. We had to ditch some of these items and came up with . . .


AFTER: After being utterly memorized by my neighbors curtains that she hung in her sweet baby room shown here, which she purchased from here, I made my mother help me make our cheaper version of them. Considering the hours and hours that it took to make the number of ruffles, I suggest that you just purchase them. I do like how they turned out though.

Since taking this picture we also ditched the flimsy metal rod and replaced it with a white wooden one.

The funny thing about redoing a room. . . I'm already wishing to change things up again.

Birthday Boy



My how time flies. My sweet boy turns nine today. Wiley is the perfect older brother. Smart, adventuresome, protective, and gentle. This little man has taught me so much. It has been a privelege to have him in our home.

I love you Scooby.

Flashback

Oh me, oh my. Every time I look in the vaults I realize how much my kids look alike. They all have round faces with chubby little cheeks. Can you tell which girl this is? Rosa, Eva or Hazel. It is amazing how similar they are.

Birthday Girl turns 2 today!



The birthday girl got everything she wanted elegant, sparkly, jewels with a sequence purse to hold it all.


She kept looking at us as if to say teach me how.

This child has been so delightful to raise. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have documented her messes and "tissed" away "ouchies". I have changed countless "ewes" and wiped away the "goss" stuff on her fingers. There are many times in a day while playing with her or feeding her that I think my heart is going to burst with love for her. If I were a singing gal I would break into song. She is priceless.

Happy Birthday Eva.
