Bedroom cont.

Here are some more pictures with the window treatment up and some odds and ends.  

My awesome dad made the box for my windows, and I LOVE it.  And I really love it because my curtains were on sale at target for $17 each and the wood and materials were only $30!  It came to less than half of everything else I had looked at.  THANKS AGAIN DAD!!!!
And a note out about my sticks in the corner by the T.V. everyone had bets on how long it would take my kids to turn them into weapons, happy to say, it has been a week and so far they haven't touched them!
You probably can't see but in the far corner we have a new nightstand from Ikea.   I wasn't sure I was going to like it so I only bought one to see if we would, but also because I thought I would save money and just paint the one that you can see.  However, Ze LOVED it and wants us to have another one WAHOO!  So any suggestions of what I could put on his, because I need something in that corner, would be great!

Well, after five years of marriage, I finally put up some wedding pictures in our room. I think this is my favorite part, and is defiantly Ze's.  
This is the material I will be making some European pillows out of for my bed.  It finally got here yesterday so, I will post pics with those one when i get them made. All and all I am really happy with our room, I LOVE it.  It has made a total difference in me being more organized, keeping things cleaner and I want to spend any free time I have in it.  I have to say thanks to my husband for painting, it for me, he did most of it. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband(Even did it on a day he had off) And a special thanks to my Dad who built the headboard and window valance.  I love you and am so grateful for all that you did.

Our next major purchase for our room will be a new fan!  One that is less of an eyesore

Bedroom pics

So this is what the room looked like after we painted and moved the bed.  I so wish I had remembered to take before pictures!  Well we got rid of the ugly navy blue curtains, and move our bed to the other wall.  And we finally put together the dresser we had bought in August when we thought we were moving.

This is the AWESOME! headboard my dad built for me!  Isn't he the best Dad ever!  It was even better than I had pictured it would be in my head.  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

I'm on a MISSION

Okay, so I have decided it is time to decorate our bedroom. In our last house Ze and I did something to every room, painted, added, replaced, etc. EXCEPT, our bedroom. We always said that we would get to it, well we didn't. I was starting to go that direction in this house, but I have decided to STOP and do ours. So this month I am going to be working on doing are bedroom. I will post pictures when I am finished, I am hoping that by putting this in writing I actually do it. So good-bye ugly Navy curtains from the previous owners.

MMMM Frosting

This is the first of a couple posts, (of course all out of order) it has been a busy week here.  

Enjoy! 

Gavin loved the frosting off his aunt's birthday cake. He kept say "mmm yum, I like this." I am loving this stage he is in. If I could keep him here for a little while longer I would. Actually I am loving him and Drake together at these ages. Everyday I love them more and more and am so grateful for them.

Happy Birthday Tia FE

Marilia's (my sis in law) birthday was on Sunday, she turned 24!  She came up for dinner and cake.  I was going to make her a cake, but she bought her own.  Hello, you aren't supposed to buy your own cake!  It was a lot of fun.  We love having her here, and the boys LOVE their tia (chi-a) Fe.  I am so grateful to have such a great sister "in-law" and to have such a good relationship with her.   I just love her to death, and love having her around.  I am so grateful for all the help she gives Ze and I with the boys, and for being such a good Aunt to them.   I know she needs to be out there having fun, but I so miss her when she doesn't come up for a couple of days.  WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

One PROUD MAMMA

Well, yesterday was the BIG day.  The boys went skiing for the firs time!!!  And I am sooo proud of them.  They did GREAT!!  Drake really got the hang of it, by the end of the day he was able to stop and turn.  He could follow my Dad all the way down.  Gavin did well too, for his age, and you know Gavin always in his own world.

That morning the first thing Gavin said when he woke up was "Okay let's go skiing, let's go buh bye and ski with buka and bunca"  (Those are his nicknames for my parents).  When we got up there Drake was so excited to go ski on the snow, he said: "Mommy, I am going to go ski on the snow, and I am going to go fast!"  He he is totally my son.  And, there favorite thing to do was to go ski in the trees.  They saw some little kids go and they told my dad and brother that they wanted to ski in the trees too, so they took them to ski in the trees.  One more sign that it is in their blood, and that there is definitely Jones blood in them.  

It was the perfect day to take them, the weather was GREAT!  I was able to get in a couple of runs on my own, and almost DIED!  My legs were on fire, I am so out of shape anyway, and then to add the fact that I haven't skied in forever!!!  My brother talked me into going on my last run, and yeah I knew I shouldn't and I was right I totally fell, just came right out of my ski.  I unfortunately can not blame it on anything but poor skiing on my part.  It had been way too long and I was out of practice.  Don't worry only my ego was hurt, and I was totally annoyed I had to hike up to get my ski that I came out of.  I am so lucky to have such a great family, and I hope my boys end up loving skiing as much as I and my family do.

P.S. Drake felt that everytime he stopped he needed to eat some snow.  I honestly think that is why he learned to stop was just becasue he wanted to eat some snow.

It was fun with everyone, just missing Cara :(, work so gets in the way.  My mom was so great she followed behind holding everyone's gloves and hats etc.  Ze patiently waited at the bottom of the hill, he said he wanted to see their first time.  I think he might be a little interested after seeing them ski.  I will keep my fingers crossed
