BaBy LoVe

yes its true...i love this little guy! He makes me laugh! Aunt Rachel watched him the other day and snapped this photo of him takin a bath! Love it!

Last week...

This post is going to be RaNdOm...
Last Friday we went to dinner at WaLdo'S BBQ....soo good! Merrick enjoyed my cornbread too..he loved takin a big chunk out of it. I think that place will be our new favorite!

A few nights ago i put him in the crib and came back to find him lookin out. He looked like a jailbird all caged up...kinda funny! Merrick is officially sick for the first time. Ear infection. He is so clingy and cuddly, which i like. But he always wants to be held especially during the night.
This picture makes me laugh...Merrick looks like he is tryin to act all tough! With his chest puffed out and a straight face on....haha

We have a new niece!!! She is one of the most beautiful baby girls i have ever seen. She is perfect! We went to see Ellee Marie last Saturday at the hospital. Isnt her flower so cute?!

Kitchen Makeover

So for now our kitchen is finished...there are still a few things that need to be done. Here are the before and after pics. Im 99% positive i will never paint our kitchen red again nor will i paint vaulted walls again. Way too scary for me! Haha but Danny did a great job!

ThRiFt StOrE LoVe

i admit it..i love going to ThRiFt stores! I've found some really cool things there. yes i know they are smelly and there are some really strange things/people there but still i dont care. just bring some hand sanitizer and you'll be fine! i love finding things to fix up...today we found this gold picture frame which i spray painted BLACK, i think it turned out nicely! here are a few of the tReAsUrEs i've found thus far.

not sure what this is but hey its kinda cool

The clock is a work in progress

I calculated it out and the picture above cost $1.26 for all of it!

the "A" is from DI...50cents i think?!

We are also is the process of painting our kitchen! I was thinking it would be a 1 day..maybe 2 day project but nope. So when its all complete i will post pics! And i'll end with Merrick's new thing....CLIMBING! seriously he can stand himself up in the crib, on the chairs at church and now he wants onto the table!
