February in Mississippi

Loves

I just love my boys. I love our new fish that grandma-net gave us some dough for. I love my new life here. I love the new friends I have. I love that I actually read all these books within the past couple months, super random ones too. I love that I'm working out on a regular basis. I LOVE that I finally dropped of my kids in the child watch at the gym--huge feat for me. I love Brandon! I love how we are like best friends even more so than ever before. I love that we are coming back to Florida as TOuRIStS in less than a month!!!!

Lately

Preston is sooo chubby and sweet. (...gritting teeth...) 

He loves his brover.

 This is the usual scene at our home.

My Bay bay is getting old... 

 Au Naturale

 New project I completed...I felt like my cupboards needed a *PoP*! I scotch taped up some scrapbooking paper inside the cupboard, you can see the old version in my last post. cheap but fun.

 We didn't have very good lighting so I found this chandelier on ebay for $30!

Our Casa...

Who would of known that our first house would be while we are in graduate school? Well, it's a HUGE blessing. The transition has been a lot easier because we have a sort of garage and a backyard and we don't have to make Bayer be quiet if he is jumping off the couch because no one below will hear!

This is the front of our little house :) It's a little older, but its a great deal coming from Florida prices. You can sort of see how big this backyard is. Notice our snow! It's the only snow we'll get probably, it was melted by 11AM.

Backyard with snow.

Our room. 

 The only bathroom.

 Bayer's room and what it usually looks like...

...and what it usually DOESN'T look like... 

Here is Preston's room, I haven't done anything really. My mom and I bought that cute green thing hanging on the wall, and that little chest of drawers but I haven't even hung up curtains in here, I'll post once I've cutified this room.

Here is our family room, if that black and white chair wasn't there, the whole thing would look great, but someone will not let me get rid of it because it's too comfy. 

 My mom sewed these curtains, I love how colorful and fun they are. 

We've given this kitchen a lot of TLC, it was rough was we first got here. Something is missing? Can you spy it? 

 This rolling storage cart was not here when we got here so they're was this big empty hole next to the stove, which is gas and I love that. 

What was missing?....a dishwasher!! It's not as bad as I thought it would be...luckily our water temperature gets REALLY hot, like scald you hot. So I feel like things are getting disinfected. My mom and I picked out that blue shelf at an antique store for $40 and I painted it turquoise. 

Here is the backyard..

 Brandon was working on the tire swing...you'll see by the end of the night he got it up.

Tulips grow here! I'm so excited to plant these babies! 

 Daddy loves it as much as Bayer.
