They’re Coming, They’re Coming!!
My parents bought me some bulbs for Christmas. I got them planeted in January and have been hoping they would pop up. There for a while I thought they were all going to be duds. About a week ago I noticed that about 5 have popped through. I am so excited and can’t wait for them to grow tall and bloom.
Here they are!!! Maybe I can grow something!

We spent the last weekend painting the soon to be nursery. We bought gender neutral the first time around so we could use it for any other child that were to come along. (I love this set) It was nice to get a new paint of coat and to make another room ours. It is the same yellow as from Katie Lynn’s nursery in Lubbock.
My folks came out to help and I am so glad that they did. The room needed a little more work than I first thought. Between the primer, the top color and bottom, lots of work.
Thank you to my folks for making the trip and helping the nursery look fabulous!!!

There is always something to do with a house, it is never perfect. We decided that our living room needs a new fan. Easier said than done, found a fan, bought a fan, fan would not work with ceiling, cancel fan order. So here is our old fan…
it will be there until we figure out something to do.
In the mean time, we decided to spend that money on a new dishwasher. Our old one was not cleaning things very well at all and we rinsed everything really well. It had some rust and it was kind of blah for a dishwasher that was only 7 years old. In our first house, we replaced the dishwasher too for many of the same reasons but it was 20 years old. I guess that is our thing, replace the dishwasher as our first big fix-er upper.
The old:
The new:
Finally after 7 months….Tom told me I could buy new sheets and things for Katie Lynn’s room for her crib to match her walls. Well, nothing has matched, nothing so far…until now. I found a white crib sheet with soft pink dots and they match the room!!! YEA!! I also found a bumper to match the room as well. It is a soft pink and really goes well. Katie Lynn’s room is finally done….:) Katie Lynn “loves” her new sheets and bumper, snug as a bug.
She thought we were making her go to bed, she was NOT happy
