Lovin’ the outfit…thx Gran Gran:) P1050039   P1050042  

Bailey must have felt the picture needed some sceneryP1050045

Yikes nothing on the walls!!! Help!P1050046  P1050048 

I just told Savana that Gran Gran was coming to see us in a few days and she is so excited she screamed!  And then said, Gran Gran can ride in my car and I will show her all the houses, but you will have to walk beside us. 

My great buy!

Several months ago I saw a rug at Target that I thought would be perfect for Savana’s room, but didn’t want to pay the $70.  I checked it out almost every time I was in Target, trying to talk myself into getting it.  Good thing I waited.  On Saturday, I strolled down the aisle and it was on sale for 35 bucks!  woohoo!!

Matches perfectly with her dresser.  Yay!! 

Back to my shopping, so I was so excited about her rug, I scooped it up (it was the last one) and ran to the next aisle to get the blue one for Bailey….and they had 3, but were $50.  I went back today and there were 3 left and still 50 bucks.  I’m going to wait a few days and see if I get another fantastic deal.  I ABSOLUTELY love her rug!!! yippee!!!!!

No Tv

Since we moved to Texas, we have decided to go without cable or satellite for our television viewing.  This has allowed us to save money and spend more time together as a family not engrossed in our tv shows.  We watch tv though the internet which means the kiddos haven’t got to watch the Disney Channel, Nickelodean, etc.  They have lots of shows to choose from and Bailey has really liked Garfield, and that explains the following conversation that just took place:

Bailey: You are grounded.
Savana: what's grounded?
Bailey: It's when you can't do stuff for the rest of the week.
Me: Where did you hear that?
Bailey: I heard it on Garfield.

381   385384382  Our new bookcases are awesome, but I don’t think they were made to “hold” everything. I had to get rid of those boxes so I just loaded up the shelves.

Tonight we are having girls night at my house, so that motivated me to get the house in order.  I can’t wait for all you Okies to come see it:)

We’ve moved!

We’ve been in our house for a week today…yay!!  And I only have 3 boxes in the kitchen that I haven’t unpacked, so I think I’m doing pretty good.  Of course everything that I did unpack is  propped up against the living room and bedroom walls. Savana’s room is finished, all decorated!  Bailey’s room, I have to touchup his bookshelves that were scratched in the move and then I’ll load those up and be done decorating his room too. They are loving having their own beds/rooms!

Our street is full of kids and Bailey and Savana are determined to meet everyone!!  And with the beautiful 75 degree weather today, we spent most of our day outside playing…yay!!  Even the dogs enjoyed not being couped up in the apartment:)

Some pictures of the last week:)

Gotta get our Starbucks:)Photo0571

This one really makes me laugh.  Bailey went behind our house on the drill site…..yes we have a drill site right beside us…it is west texas you know:)  Anyway I heard some crying, my worst fear was a snake, cuz yes we have those too, and I meet him walking back to the house.  I asked him what was wrong and he said he had a wreck and it hurt his leg.  Of course I could see no car in sight.  Walking around the rock piles, I come upon this:

I was laughing so hard and poor bailey was telling me it wasn’t funny.  I asked him if he fell out or how he got out and he said he crawled out the door after it had flipped…..later during bathtime, I see his back is covered in scratches.  Poor little boy.  He’s over it now, but way too funny!

Kiddos dancing, which is so hilarious and I need to video an entire song.  Savana ran into the kitchen and said watch this mom, she wrapped her leg around bailey and threw herself backward.   She has watched way too much dancing with the stars!

Today we came across an 18 month outfit Bailey wore, which I kept for his room decoration.  Here’s the results:  Keep in mind 18  month suit!!Photo0600 Photo0602

Bailey & Savana’s new shower head:)Photo0545

We painted Savana’s room “Princess Tiara” , a very light pink, that took 3.5 gallons and 4 coats, it may have some blemishes, but I just had to call it quits at some point.  Savana loves the color and we can’t wait to get all of her fancy stuff in it:)

Video of her completed room: kinda blurry:(

Then I painted Bailey’s room, which was much quicker.  I stayed with the same color as in Duncan. He is so excited about having his OWN room again!!Mr. Speed PainterPhoto0555 Photo0556 Photo0554

Here’s his room video:

We are moving all of our furniture from the apartment tomorrow and the movers are bringing everything in storage on Monday.  I’m sure to have a million boxes everywhere, but we are so excited to be back into a house:)  And super excited to have all of our friends and family visit us….all you okies better start planning a trip to see us. we miss you guys!
