bedrooms

Now that I have real internet and I'm not having to sit against the wall in our front room to steal internet from my parents wireless, I can post my pictures.

New bedroom #1

New Bedroom #2

And finally the beautiful (Sarcastic) bedroom we reside in.

And just in case you can't see the wall paper well enough:

Project one, done.

It has taken me a while to do some real updates, so here is a posting for all you readers out there.


Last Tuesday I threw my back out of place somehow. I went to the chiropractor and he popped it and I had to come back again on wednesday. This time when I went back and he popped it into place it hurt EXTREMELY bad. I would almost say I was in more pain then when I was giving birth. Anyway so I had to go to this Spinal Aide centers for America thing and they strapped me up to electro shock stuff and long story short I'm slowly getting better. But...I would probably be getting better faster if I wasn't working on our house! I'm ok with working on the house though.



We had two bedrooms I wanted to get painted before we moved in. Bedroom #1 will be Rob's room and bedroom #2 will be Jarren's room. I want to do our room more than I want to do theirs, but we won't be able to finish that in time for us to move in. I'm guessing we will do it around the end of the year. It has wall paper from the ceiling to the floor. Really really ugly flower wallpaper. I will take pictures of it tomorrow and post them. Anyway here are the before pictures of bedroom #1 and 2. You probably can't see them all that well considering I took the pictures with my phone since I didn't have my camera. Tomorrow I will take pictures with my camera of the finished projects. I think that they turned out really well.



Bedroom #1

















You can't really tell from this picture but they had a very badly done paint job of light blue painted on top of a bright purple and bright pink so it was see-through in a lot of areas.


Bedroom #2


















They didn't just have this...they had wallpaper ontop of the seam of paint. It was different types of trucks, it was in really bad condition and torn up in several different areas.



We have also cleaned the house...Twice. Once when we were painting I had my sisters clean it, so there wouldn't be so much dust. Then we bug bombed so we could kill off all the little spiders and then I cleaned again tonight. So now I have a mostly clean house (still have all the wood floors and bathroom floors), and a somewhat freshly painted house. Like I said I will get more pictures tomorrow and upload them if I have a chance tomorrow night.
So here is the rest of my 2 weeks. We move in all our stuff by Wednesday. I have to then unpack everything by Monday July 28th since we are doing Jarren's birthday party at our house. I will be cooking and preparing and decorating all day on his birthday. Then after his birthday I have until the 31st of July to get our Apartment completely clean so we can get a return on our deposit. Then I have a baby shower to throw with my sister-in-laws on Friday August 1st, a baby shower to attend on the 2nd and my anniversary will be on the 11th, but we will be celebrating before then...hopefully. If I can ever figure out something fun to do for cheap.


Oh one more thing...if you know anyone interested in digital invitations or digital announcements that they can print off send them my way. The link to my store at the top of my blog in the right hand corner! Thanks. (they aren't that great yet, but I'm working on them.)

Keys please

It's very official now! We have the keys and the garage door opener. We start painting this week and move in hopefully sometime next week while Jake has work off. WOOT!

When to stop nursing...

If you can't handle seeing someone nurse, don't watch this. But it is distrubing and wrong.

"Prison Break"

New Website

I have a new website...not blog, but website.

I'm selling homemade cards. I don't know if it will do well or not, but it's fun making them. Check it out often cause I will be constantly making new sets to sale. (not all of them will be baby ones. My next sets I'm making are for birthdays parties and summer parties.)

Blog Titles

While practicing my photoshop skills my friend Jenn has taught me how to make the fancy blog titles. So along with mine, I did my mom's and my friend Nicki.

If there are any other brave souls out there that would like to help me continue learning my photoshop techniques let me know...and I can make you one also.

Walking, climbing and a bit of hide and seek.

A few new things Jarren can do:

• WALK! YAY JARREN! ...except now he's everywhere


• Climb on the couches and climb off the couches...now he's learning to climb over the banana chair that keeps him in the living room. not so good.


• He's known how to do peek a boo for a while but he loves playing it.

Fun weekend

We had a really fun busy weekend. It was Jake's 5 day weekend so he didn't have to work at all. He doesn't go back til Wednesday but he has lawns to mow all day tomorrow so to me...he's back at work.

Anyway on friday our friend Jessica Stell and her very cute baby, Jackie, came over. We went swimming in our pool. The babies kept switching back and forth with who was tired and who was hyper. First Jackie was tired and Jarren was hyper and then Jarren was tired and Jackie was hyper. They finally played together when we went inside and talked in the living room. It was a lot of fun and we are hoping to get them together more often. Jackie is only 3 days older than Jarren so they play well together. Besides the fact that Jackie loves to hug Jarren and Jarren likes to hit her. ...Boys will be boys.

Then on Saturday, Jake's sisters Kati and Crystal went shopping with me to find stuff to make baby shower invitations for Mindy's baby shower. I'm pretty proud of the mock invitations I made so they can pick the lay out. They are all very cute and I can't even decide which one I like better. After that we went to a chinese buffet with Rob, Jake and Jarren. It was delicious. Then Kati and Crystal went and picked up their little brothers and we played basketball out on our court at our apt. I haven't played ball in SO long. It was a lot of fun besides the fact it was 90 something degrees outside or hotter. I think I sweat everything out of me that I drank that day. Then since it was so hot we decided to take them all swimming in the pool. Especially since Jarren loved it so much the day before. It was a lot of fun.

After swimming, Nicki came over and Rob, Jake, Nicki and I went to the PG carnival. Me and Nicki rode 3 rides for $10...expensive carnival! Anyway those were fun besides the fact it was the first time I ever felt sick on a carnival ride...odd.

Then we went to Dennys to get some food where we met Nicki's new friend Tony...Who taught her how to do something cool the next night when they hung out. Check out her blog story for that info.

On sunday it was more of a relaxing day. In the afternoon we finished the second season of 24...so now we need to start the 3rd season. Go us.
