I have nothing to name this...

I've decided that I need to get Wyatt out of my room now. So this weekend I cleaned out the spare room of all the junk from my remodel to get it ready for him. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. Because once I start cleaning something I kinda go nuts and run around like a mad woman until it's done. There are some things that Peter still needs to come pick up... I mean he only moved out like 4 months ago? The only sad part to this story is that I have to take his crib apart to get it through the door! But I think one of the main reasons that I am excited to get Wy out of my room (besides the fact that it will be nice to get him in his own) is that I get to decorate! I'm so excited about it. I purchased some vinyl lettering to do a name board and just got them in! Look how cute! The stars will be on each end of his name. I'm absolutely in love with it and am excited to start this little craft project!

I also got a welcome to do a sign as well. And once I get his walls painted I also bought this vinyl sticker that is a measuring tape and says "watch me grow" up the side of it. I'm way excited to put that up by his door. It's going to be great. His room is bigger than I thought so I'm going to have to get some cute furniture or something for him. Which will probably require a trip to Ikea!

My weekend also consisted of painting! The ceiling on my kitchen is pretty much all the way done and painted and my bathroom is completely painted now. Last night I primed the doors and trim to paint white. They are sorta a tan color right now. And while doing that last night I realized that I will eventually have to do them all! So it looks like it will be a fun spring of painting.

And.... a little picture from our walk the other night! It was so cold that i bundled him up pretty good! Not sure why the color is so weird, but still cute!

Makes my day all worth it...

So... today was going great. And then work happened... which is normal especially when you are at work. I had to send out a few e-mails regarding some short sales we are trying to negotiate for our clients. A short sale is where you negotiate with the bank offers on a house before it forecloses. So it's a long, annoying, time consuming, pain in the rear! Especially if you are dealing with local banks, in which a few of the files we are. They aren't as quick to negotiate a loss the way the bigger banks do. Anyway, a few offers are going to be rejected because they just don't cut it. So I sent this e-mail out and get hate thrown back at me. Which I know they are frustrated and their clients aren't going to be happy... blah blah blah But you know what Realtors that threw their crap at me, I ask you to come manage the 15 yes... 15 offers that I have been managing with these short sales and see how happy you are then, and how far you get with the bank when you submit a crap offer such as yours. *takes a deep breath* And then it gets really quiet in my office and I look over and find this....

Absolutely made my day! He is the cutest thing ever and was just plain tuckered out apparently! And it gave me a minute away from the hate e-mails and some agent telling me "I don't admire you!!!" Ahem. Everyone admires me dear Realtor, thanks though! So now i'm pretty much better. I was very polite back to the haters and just briefly explained to them again how this process works and that if they want to hate on anyone I can give them the phone number to the bank. Haha okay I didn't do that, but I was nice. Even to the agent who doesn't admire me. Oh well! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love ya!

My place

My place is just about there! I got my blind today that I ordered from blinds.com (way cool) and I installed it! I have painted my laundry room and the base boards, but when I went to cut them realized that the miter box is too small for the size of baseboards I have. So that makes yet another trip to home depot to get a bigger one. Just a minor set back, especially when I was all geared and ready to go! Oh well right? I'm still smiling because it's all coming together after all my procrastination. And I actually like that I'm learning to be quite the handy lady! My future husband will be super impressed I'm sure of it!

Here are my blinds... beautiful I know! I love how fresh it makes my kitchen look, the pic is dark so you can't really tell, but whatever. I'm over it!

I love how this side has a corner cabinet! I think it finishes it off nicely and it's a good place for the soap and scrubbers.

Just a different angle with my blinds in it!

These are my track lights, the brown covers look cool with my cabinets. I still need to finish sanding the ceiling, touching it up and then finally get it painted. I'm not too excited about this job because I have to sand... which means dirty kitchen. But it's going to look nice when it's done. This used to be two flourecent lights with those ugly plastic covers. We took all that down and had it rounded off which I believe is called "bull nose". Fancy yes I know.

Aren't the appliances awesome! Well not the fridge, but hopefully sooner rather than later the fridge will match everything else as well. But it's just fine for now. So there it is! I know i've been asked to post some pictures. I'll be super happy when I get my baseboards put up so that I no longer have my washer and dryer in my front room!

Victoria!

Kate's labor and delivery went so fast and really well. You couldn't even tell she just had a baby she just looked great! Tori is beautiful and we're all excited she is here. That makes 3 babies in 8 months! I think we're done for awhile.

Charlotte that's bossy!

Since Kate mentioned it in a comment Charlotte did the funniest thing to Wyatt today. I'm downstairs with Wyatt on the couch and she comes walking down and gets really close in Wyatt's face; which isn't unusual at all, she completely loves him; and she pulls her binkie out and says "listen". I don't know that I've laughed so hard in my life. I wonder if I wouldn't have laughed if she would have said something more. It was so dang cute. And by the way, her mommy says that same thing!

Oh and I have also just painted my laundry room. It's getting closer!

Pictures!

I finally went and had Wyatt's pictures done. I've been such a slacker about it. But he's just too cute that I needed to go get them done! He was so good during the whole thing and absolutely loved the girl who took his pictures. I was a little worried because his naps today have been pretty minimal, but we caught him at a good moment! They e-mailed me the uncropped versions, but they are still so cute!

Oh ashley...

So tonight I decided that I would start finishing my laundry room. I bought this stuff at home depot that puts texture onto your walls. And I was pretty excited about it, because where I redid the dry wall there was no longer any texture. Anyway, I get it out and start to spray and it looks good, but it smells SO bad. So then i decided that maybe Wyatt and I should leave for a little while to let the place air out. I was probably gone like 45 minutes and my neighbor calls. So I pick up and she says "hey ash the fire department is here" Yup! The fire department! Apparently the smell traveled through my building and someone called them to come check it out. I explained over the phone what it was and as i was pulling in they were leaving. I'm embarrassed to say the least. And now Wyatt and I are headed over to my moms to sleep over. It's still pretty strong in here. hahaha
