Getting There

We've been working on updating our bedroom for awhile now.  I had a little extra money to get some new furniture  and bedding and make this room look more like an HGTV lookalike.

Here are a few before shots:

BORING!  

And the after shots:
Fun and hip!
We still need a few things - bigger lamps for the nightstands and some accessories, but that will come in time.  Little by little!  I actually repainted the blue wall just last night to a lighter, more icy shade.  It's similar to the throw and the big pillows.  It is JUST what I was thinking of when I dreamed up this whole vision.  So this isn't it exactly.  When it's all the way done, I'll have to take new pictures.  And then I'll even show you the new dresser when it has been cleared off of all tools and giant TVs that don't belong.

For now, it's a little improvement, don't you think?  

Gavin has something to say...

Yes, it's true.  We are so, so excited.  April 8, 2010.

My sassy (and BIG!) boy

This little boy is making up his own rules.  This week he's started telling me "No No!"  I didn't know he could (or EVER would) do that!!  He flushes the toilet or pulls open the stove or walks into Wilson's kennel and knows that he's not supposed to - looks at me and says 'no no' - and continues to do it anyway.  Where does he get that from?  I dare say he's even hit me a few times this week when I didn't do what he wanted right when he wanted it.  Time for daddy to come home.  I'm not sure what that will do exactly as far as changing the hitting situation, but it's happened since Brian left, so I figure that's what it means.  

  

Despite of that, I still adore this little boy.  At fifteen months, he is SO MUCH FUN.  He's learning so many words and associating so many things so quickly - it's pretty incredible to watch.  We practice his animal noises daily and are always happy when someone will pay attention and listen.  Obviously I appreciate it...

New fifteen month stats: (9/10/09)

Weight: 29 pounds, 13 ounces - 97%  We think he's thinning out.  :)  

Height: 80%

Head: 95%

The doctor assured me we're not feeding him too much, but that's a little hard to believe. 

I am grateful for all of my boys (yes, even Wilson).  I realize more and more every day that I have a very, very happy life.  

Just the two of us

Brian headed out of town for a few days.  Some football game down south with the boys.  It will be very fun for him.  

Since he doesn't read this anyway, I will say that Gavin and I headed to the mall today and bought P.F. Changs for lunch - just because we can!  Can't tell you the last time I was there...but it was super yummy.  Who knows what we'll do for the next several days, but I promise I'll take it easy (on the budget, I mean.)  

I guess I could clean the bathrooms that I promised and organized the cupboards that I took apart.  I could put the laundry away that's been sitting out since last night.  Could walk the dog, etc, etc, etc.  

But for now I only promise to love and laugh with my little boy and pick many, many  peaches.  I will also commit to having the bed made when Brian gets home.  Anything more than that will just be a bonus!  

First Day of School

Gavin on the first day of school. He loves his new animal pajamas. When he first saw the lion on his sleeve, he could help but stare and do his roaring.
This is the first day since I was four-years-old that I haven't had some school obligation. We woke up and watched the kids walking to our local school from our front window. What will I do with myself?
I'm sure we'll think of something.

Robinson (Argyle) Reunion

Last weekend we went up AF Canyon to Mutual Dell to hang out with Brian's mom's side of the family. Gavin had fun fishing for his bear and climbing up and own the steps.

He thinks he's one of the big kids.
