Weekend with the Ham's

For easter this year it wasn't very exciting...none of our babies came down (unless we count the almost one), so we had no easter egg hunt, or dying eggs and the easter bunny didn't even come to visit our house!! It was very sad...but, the Ham's came down....Jaliz and Andy..wahoo! They were our excitement for the weekend. We ate, played TTR (ticket to ride), and sat around. But we did make .....SUGAR COOKIES...I really wanted sugar cookies and I had been craving them for a long long time, so i whipped up a batch. I had to wait until Jaliz came down because i really didn't know how to make them, but she didn't know either. So we had to call martha stewart Jamie! That was our excitement for the weekend, even though we didn't do anything easterish we still had fun

We each got to pick a color and mine was blue-green...I think they tasted better then the rest. Thanks to Jerika frosting them all for me!

The prego's of the family!

We only had two cookie cutters, a star and a tiny little flower that didn't even look like a flower. Notice the "sugar cookies" words on the picture, Jerika has to do that to know what they are...Just kidding she got a new camara for her birthday and you can type words on pictures. So, now she does it on about every picture she takes. Sorry I don't have any pictures of us in our easter sunday outfits, but we didn't get any this year...my mom thinks we are too old for those kind of things anymore, but i don't think i am.

Following the Crowd

Well since my sister is going private, i guess i better do what the younger sister does and copy her older sister....ya i'm going private! i'm not really sure how to do it, so any pointers would be great....but ya I guess just send me your email if you want to read my blog....maybe it will get more exciting, but i haven't done any projects for a week. However, I am going camping on monday night up in AF with my friends so i will post picutres about that...stay tuned and send me your email!

My new FAV thing!

So since I live at home and don't have a lot to do I use the computer a lot....My new favorite thing is....Pandora Radio. My friend Mandy introduced us together and I use it everyday. It's like a radio station of course but you can type in an artist's name for example Taylor Swift and it brings up a bunch of other artist's that is in her music category. Its amazing I have a everyday list and I have a Sunday list that I love because I never know what church music I'm going to like so I use this to find songs I love! Go check it out...its Pandora.com!

This is for you Jamie!

Yes since my dad moved out of the closet as his office, my mom is now redoing the closet to have it be his closet. She was all his junk out of her closet so she can have more room for her junk! Well jamie wanted me to post pictures, because since she lives so far away this is the only way for her to see the happenings!

Mom ripped everything out of the closet.....I think she wants to get it done fast so he can move all his stuff!

She painted the two walls that has the shelving on them leftover blue from downstairs and is going to paint the other wall a leftover brown or something.

Jake put together two shelves and got tired of it so mom put together the rest!

Mom and jake put the floor in...she wanted wood so it could clean easier!

Rate My Space!

My sister said I should put pictures on "Rate My Space," which is on HGTV.com, so I decided just to put it on here. My other Texas sister said I had to put pictures of the finished product on here so she could see.....Its not all the way finished, there is a little patch of ceiling above the tub that isn't painted but I will do that later this week. Anyways here is my finished bathroom with the green and the orange....I think it turned out cute, what do you think? I really didn't do anything to the bath tub. We just, My mom mainly, re calked, and clean it....I did get a new shower head which I tried out today and I love....Three different settings!!! I'm living the good life I guess...Jamie you'll have to come home soon so you can use it! This is the orange.....I like it i think it gives it a pop of color so the bathroom isn't too green.

Don't worry about the bottom right corner, I ran out of ribbon and was so sick of doing it last night that I just wanted it to be done. I will just put a big picture there to cover it up...Oh its going to have pictures in it one of these days!

I saw these on a decorating show, but I kindof did them a little different. We just had these leftover tile picture things, so I just turned the tile part over and painted the back then stamped a flower on them. They say Joy and Dream, which were just leftover words that I used, its just a little filler where the flowers aren't......anyways thats my new bathroom!! Hopefully Jeffrey likes it or he is going to be "forced" to redo it! Thats what he wrote this last week when my mom told him I was redoing it!

Day 2

Today....Painting baseboards, beadboard, door, and part of ceiling! I have been painting all day long today and finally I got all the painting mostly finished. All I have to do is to finish ceiling, but since my mom recaulked the bathtub today I can't finish until 36 hours, which is how long it takes to dry. Here is a sneak peak of the orange that's part of the color scheme.Don't worry I finally painted the bathroom door, which hasn't been painted and we have finished the bathroom how long ago...ya a long time ago!

Big New Project!!!

Besides reading, quilting, watching tv, working outside, and going on trips I am REDOING MY BATHROOM...I figure since Jeffrey isn't home for a while I have the only say how my bathroom looks like....however he did write my dad and say to not let my mom or the girls do anything to his bedroom or his bathroom. But whatever he doesn't know won't kill him! So yes this is the first stage in redoing my bathroom, and it is green. It doesn't look this pukey...if you want to see it you'll just have to come over and see for yourself. I really just posted these pictures for Jamie, because she doesn't think my color scheme will look good, green and orange....it will look good, so stay tuned it you want to see it step by step, or I should say day by day.
