My fabulous new shelf

This is my new beautiful shelf that I purchased a few weeks ago to hang above the sofa table in my hallway. I'm very excited about this shelf because I bought it unfinished at Roberts, and then painted it and stained it myself. I think it turned out so good and I LOVE the color. My awesome husband hung it on the wall for me and then I finished decorating it to make it complete. I think it fills in the gap there very nicely.

My breakfast nook

About a month ago, I spotted this table at Kmart and fell in love with it. I just had to have it and lucky for me, Jordan loved it too. Unfortunately, they were out of stock both in the store and online. I was devastated! I had my heart set on that table and they said they might have more about mid-february. I am not a very patient person and I really didn't want to wait that long so I searched all the other stores in the area for my table. I found a couple, but the price was almost three times as much as what Kmart was selling theirs for. I had no choice but to wait.

A few days ago, Jordan stopped by Kmart on a whim to see if they might have more.....and they did! He brought it home and went right to work putting it together. I was SOOOOO excited! I love it and I'm so glad we were able to get one. Here is my new table!

My Valentine/St. Patricks Day blocks

This last weekend Shannon and I got together so that we could finally make our Valentine blocks (we've only had the supplies for oh...ever!). I decided to do a double holiday on mine, so on the front I did "L.O.V.E." for Valentines day, and then on the back I did "L.U.C.K." for St. Patty's. That way next month, I just have to turn them around and then I have decoration for March as well. I was pretty proud of myself. :)

PS. Adam was kind enough to get the wood and cut it for us, and then Shannon painted them.

Thanks guys!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

This weekend we celebrated Kayson's FIRST birthday by throwing a Mickey Mouse party. Shannon totally outdid herself, the party was amazing! We did the invitations together and they turned out SO cute, and then we made the cutest little thank you's for people to take when they left. I was also able to do a cute Happy Birthday banner in mickey mouse font thanks to my wonderful cricut. Another of Shannon's friends made him the COOLEST mickey mouse cake ever and he DEVOURED it. He must have known it was his day because he was totally hammin' it up. He had a blast opening his presents (I'm sure his favorites were from Auntie Steph and Uncle Jordan!) and he got the cutest little mickey mouse airplane. He played on it for the rest of the night, he loved it!

Here are some pics of the birthday boy and his party, enjoy!

Tobi's Alphabet

I've had my eye on the cutest download for vinyl and a couple weeks ago, Jordan let me buy it. I was so excited! I went to Roberts and got some of their vinyl by the foot and went straight to work. It turned out to be a bigger project than what I thought, but it was so worth it! I finished putting the vinyl on his wall this morning and I LOVE it. Everytime I walk into his room I can't help but admire my hard work. Here's a look at Tobi's alphabet!

Another Fabulous First

We got together with the Maughan family tonight and we all went to Chuck E. Cheese for a little pre-birthday party celebration. Kayson is turning one tomorrow and we wanted to go to Chuck's when both the guys could go too. It actually turned out to be a first not only for Tobi, but for Jordan too. Both of my guys had a blast! We shared pizza and breadsticks, and played lots of fun games. Tobi liked racing with Jordan the best, he was so proud to be helping his daddy....adorable!

Kayson is walking like a pro and has been for a while now, so I thought I'd do what any good Auntie does.....I gave him squeaky shoes. Adam and Shannon loved them and Kayson thought it was pretty awesome. He kept kicking his feet together in the back seat of the car after we left, just so he could hear them squeak, it was the cutest thing ever! I have a couple of pairs of squeaky shoes stashed away for Tobi when he decides he's ready to walk and I'm so excited. It was nice having them on Kayson at Chuck E. Cheese because we always knew where he was...that kid is FAST. We are so excited to be celebrating his birthday tomorrow and so glad that we got to be included tonight.

As you can see from the pictures....we all had LOADS of fun!
