Boys just wanna have fun

They are so tough

A soon to be Mrs.

After 5 wonderful years together, Andrew popped the question to my dear friend Shannyn. We couldn't be happier for the two!!

What better way to celebrate than tapas & sangria and some chocolate toast and shots, yum

Ten for a Tuesday

Taking the idea from Mary, I decided to write about 10 things on the brain (since I can’t update with pics).

1) Thinking about how bad my foot hurts. I was cleaning up the back porch cause the dogs decided to terrorize the area today while we were at work and I stepped on nail that went ridiculously far into my foot. Ouch.

2) Today when I picked Cal up from daycare and I peeked in the window before walking in and it was ridiculous how much fun he was having. It kinda made me a little sad cause he’s only supposed to smile, laugh and have fun like that with his mamma. But he was ecstatic to see me so that made me happy.

3) I am so bored on Tuesday nights and the house is so quite. Ian had class tonight and I find myself constantly talking to the dogs (Cal is in bed or else I would talk to him).

4) Looking forward to watch Gossip Girl and The Hills that I Tivo’d last night. Don’t judge.

5) I realized today that my camera has become like my cell phone. I feel naked without it (left it at Shannyn’s last night).

6) Can’t stop admiring our new dining room. I am so happy with the way it turned out and I love the new furniture and paint color – random that I am excited about paint…. I now can’t wait for all the finish work to be done.

7) I’m already ready for the week to be over. Work is crazy right now, I want to start shopping for stuff to decorate the dining room and have a zillion errands to run.

8) Hmm, what else…

9) I am so excited about all of my friends getting married next summer. It’s going to be a blast. Now everyone needs to start having some babies ;)

10) Can November hurry up and get here?! We’re in dire need of a vaca and our Hawaii trip will be the perfect remedy. Ian especially deserves it. He’s worked so hard on the house and now has to study his tail off for his PE. Hopefully Cal likes Hawaii as much as we do!

more pics to come...

...I left my camera at Shannyn's last night so I can't update. I am lost without my camera! Getting it back tomorrow, hooray!

That pretty much sums up the weekend... We put hardwoods in the new dining room, put new hardwoods in the living room, painted, hung the lighting fixture, assembled furniture, etc. We're both wiped but so happy with the way the dining room turned out. It's not done - we still have lots of little things left like all the finishing work, paint the exterior and now decorating (YAY).

enjoying the new floor in the dining room - we were so excited for it to be done so we spent a lot of time kicking it down there

you can kind of tell the color of the room from this pic
These pics don't do the room justice... It was hard to get a good picture. The walls are a light green but look blueish in these pics. I'll be working on the decorating this week, we still need to do all the trim, put up window coverings, etc. but it's almost there!

(Thanks for the paint recco Emilie. Silver Sage was the exact color I had in mind and love it)

Just the girls

I was able to break away Friday night from working on the house and met up with the girls for dinner since Heather is in town from San Diego. So fun seeing everyone!

Bored with Mom & Dad

Cal stayed home from daycare on Tuesday so he’s been home with Ian or I for the last week straight. Apparently, he couldn’t wait to have a day off from us. I dropped him off at daycare today and his teacher greeted us at the door. As soon as Cal saw her he reached for her to take him. Sad… Then while I was filling out his daily form he had no interest in me and was sitting on the floor playing with his teacher and the two girls in his class. And in true Cal style, kept trying to pull their hair.

In other news, Cal is 7 months old today. For a little b-day treat he got mangos for desert – his favorite – and got to take an extra long bath tonight.

Goodnight kisses Favorite jammies, Cal's fasinated with the planets
