House Pictures

Well, we're officially moved! Thanks to all the family and friends who helped out over this past weekend...we couldn't have done it without you. Here are some recent pictures of the house (and a few of Maggie with her pink boots on). Please ignore the mess...we're still working on things.


It's official...she is the cutest cowgirl in the south. Here's a shot of Jacob's room. It is the only room that is finished as far as painting is concerned. I still have to get his curtains finished but it is looking good so far.



A shot of the rec room, which looks like a wreck. Right now we're finishing up the trim work on this area and then we'll be done. No more hideous orange and blue!



A shot of the hall leading to the kid's rooms from the rec room.



Looking down the steps into the kitchen


The den...another room that is finished (at least painting wise). We will have to touch up the base boards, ceiling and other trim throughout the entire house since the previous owners weren't too careful with their paint brushes.



A shot of the kitchen and Brent chowing down on some fried chicken.




Another shot of the kitchen. We haven't yet taken down the wall paper to prep for painting.
Looking into the living and dining room. Painting is complete except for the baseboard touch-ups.






A shot of the outside after Brent expanded the landscaping area and added fresh mulch. Looks 100% better already. We'll add more plants as we go...





A final shot of the living room and dining room combo area...


A view of the rec room from the kid's rooms.
Compare these shots to the last posting where you can see some of the house before we moved in and began working.

Digi Scrapping

I just wanted to see how one of my digital scrapbooking layouts looked on the blog. I wasn't sure about the resolution, etc. Anyway, these are some shots of Maggie at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham.

Misc Kid Pictures, Bridal Shower, and New House!

Well, I hope you're ready to see a lot of pictures! I think I posted around 20 (or probably more). Enjoy!! Maggie is learning to feed herself. It is terribly messy, but this girl has such a strong will...I can barely give her anything requiring a spoon unless I'm ready to forfeit all control to her. Something a control freak like myself has problems with occasionally.
Here are some fun shots after bath time. I had to post this one of Maggie's rear end...just to prove that she is getting a little junk in the trunk!! Ha!

Toga party!



Here is a shot of John and Emily at their first (well, really HER first) bridal shower. They're cutie!





Paw paw and Sophia at the shower (before the men left...)

Emily and the gorgeous spread of food....yummy!



Maggie and Jacob playing in the cabinets after we packed all the junk into boxes. The bottom of those shelves haven't seen the light of day in almost 7 years.

Popsicle time...


Okay, on to the new house....here's a shot of Jacob out front. Looks like we're going to need some shudders!!
