Remodel Continues...

Some Pics:

The Color

The Floors

The Back Splash went up LAST NIGHT!

Still needs grout... but I wanted to share because I'm already loving IT!

The man behind the project.

I'm so lucky to have married a man...that knows how to do man stuff! :) Nice work Johnny!

We have 5 weeks left before this baby comes, and that's our goal to finish everything on the house too (minus baseboards). Oh, wait...I've forgotten to schedule in some time to get ready for the BABY!! I am taken a back at how fast this pregnancy has gone by. I better start thinking of this poor nameless baby and buy something BLUE already! :)

Anyhow, I can't wait to post the final results of both the house and this baby BOY that I have been cooking for 8 months!

Oh, ya...and here is Johnny's "new" baby. A sweet '53 Chev pick-up.

Angel's Painting

This is the painting Jess did for Angel's baby room! It's huge, and hangs right above his crib. Isn't it COOL?!

Her little man will be able to keep it forever!

P.S. I only have 5 weeks of work until maternity leave!!!

PLAYROOM PICTURES!

My favorite post thus far!! Our good friend Jess Roberts paints murals, and MAN is she good! She came up with this amazing Mural for Olivia's new playroom! Olivia LOVES to pretend and even started make-believing with just the pencil sketched on the walls...needless to say, OLIVIA (AND I) ARE IN HEAVEN!! It turned out SO great, you've GOT TO see it in person! Olivia buys food from the market to cook in her kitchen, pretends to swing on the tire swing, feeds the butterfly, gets the mail, digs in her garden...it's SO perfect! Check out some more of Jessica's work here: http://jrobertsfineart.blogspot.com/ She also does amazing paintings and is currently working on one for Angel's baby room! She is so talented! If anyone is interested in investing in some art, it's so worth it to check her out...she could make your room amazing too!

THANK YOU JESS!

Angel's Baby Shower!

Angel and I are due within 3 weeks of eachother, both with BOYS! This past weekend was her baby shower and everyone came through, she got EveRyThInG she needed! Meagan and I even made our first ever Diaper cake and it turned out...well, awesome! There were over 30 people there, tons of great food and babies everywhere! Kassie even drove all the way from Roosevelt to be there! Angel has some really great friends! Now, let's have these babies!

Daddy Zoo Day

Paul, Johnny and Jake decided to take the kids to the ZOO the other day! They are such spectacular Dads!

St.Patricks Day parade and Cohen's robot {party}!

Olivia participated in the St. Patty's Day Parade at the Gateway! Her school had it's own float and some of the kids got to sit on chairs and float through the Gateway! Olivia thought she was pretty special to get all of that attention. Not only that, but she got to sit by her two BEST friends from school Dominik and Annika. She had a great time eating muffins, blowing bubbles and waving to the cheering crowd! We lucked out too, it didn't begin to rain until we rounded the corner at the very end of the parade! :) FUN!

After the parade we headed over to the Roberts home for COHEN'S #2 Birthday party! Jess decked the place out in Robot decor and even made awesome ROBOT costumes to take pictures in! Cohen got some serious loot including a new HOT ROD and some kick-a Blue Ray sunglasses! The party was fun and Livi even got to open Cohen's gifts after he refused to open any more! haha. Happy Birthday Cohen and sweet party Jess...we will have some fun memories from this awesome party!

CJ and Di threw a sweet hungry little caterpillar party for Vanessa who turned TWO the same day as Cohen! We're SO bummed that we couldn't be in HAWAII to celebrate with the Mansfield fam for Nessa's birthday too! But Nice work pulling off such a cool party DI!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NESSA!
