Project#3: CARPET INSTALLED!!!!!

Okay so after weeks of waiting my carpet is in YAY! So of our list below and in the previous post they only things not completed are number 3&4.

1. Finish Zoe's room
2. Start and finish Zayden's room
3. Paint the kids bathroom and decorate (ocean/fish theme)
4. Paint the downstairs hall
5. Carpet installed "I AM SO EXCITED"

We are so worn out and so we decided after mutual talking that we would do the kids bathroom the month of June maybe July who knows but it will get done soon. And as for the hall we have painted half of it and that is the next project which will be (hopefully) the end of this month. Spud said he is taking a vacation for two weeks, but he still has to plant his vegetables and cut grass, so his vacation is only from inside remodeling. Thank you Spud for all your late nights and for finishing the most important projects (our kids room's). THANK YOU Pk and Rosie for all your help and late nights we really appreciate it. And now the moment you all have been waiting for.....










First and last picture are Zayden's room, second two are Zoe's room, third two are the living room, the next two are the guest bedroom, then the stairs.

PROJECT #2: Zayden's room!

Well I failed to take before pictures, it was worse off then Zoe'a room. So here is the spill....on Sunday Spud and Pk sheet rocked one wall they had to let it dry then Spud filed in all the holes and had to re texture the walls. Last night Pk came to help Spud paint because carpet is on Friday so they got the blue done then Spud spilled the brown all over the floor so me, Rosie, Pk, and Spud started rolling the paint off the floor to the walls. Needless to say it was a long night. So her are a few pictures.
We do have to paint all the moldings white and the part on the wall/ceiling. Then we will be done with his room.





*NOTE* I will post both Zoe and Zayden's rooms when we finish last minuet touches.

Our first wind storm!

Provo just had a huge wind storm that blew my garden decorations around. So while I was out grabbing them to put in the garage Zoe looked out side. The shingles off my roof were blowing off (because they were not sealed right). Zoe was crying and shaking because she was afraid the how was going to blow down. I felt so bad for her. Now I have to call the insurance to make a claim or Spud will have another project to do.

Project #1: Zoe's New Room!

ZOE'S NEW ROOM


These pictures are the before, I left out the closet ones because there is really nothing to see, So the bedroom is white with no carpet. Spud took off all the baseboards because he is putting up bead board tonight. Her room has a lot of light which is nice and is right next to Zayden's room. She can't wait to move downstairs.

Theses pictures show the painting process. Spud and Zoe did most of it, and yes that is the baby bump at 26 weeks (6mo.) And the last picture is Zoe showing off. So tomorrow I will post the pictures with the bead board and then we wait for carpet on May 6th.
Here is a list of the next few projects with the deadline of May 6th:
  1. Finish Zoe's room
  2. Start and finish Zayden's room
  3. Paint the kids bathroom and decorate (ocean/fish theme)
  4. Paint the downstairs hall
  5. Carpet installed "I AM SO EXCITED"
I will post before and after pictures of them all.

Planter Boxes!

Today Spud and I took Zoe and my sister Rosie and her son Karson to Home Depot to the kids craft thing. Today since it's supposed to be spring they made planter boxes. After they were finished we took them to the garden center and they picked out flowers for their boxes. Karson wanted red flowers and Zoe wanted yellow and black ones. We came home and put weed guard in the bottom of the box with garden soil and then planted the flowers. Such proud kids!
To top off the day we went to my parents birthday BBQ and I made Oreo cupcakes they were so good!

Fairy Tea Party!


Oh how I love spending time with my little girl. As most of you know Zoe is not a girlie girl, so when she dresses up it truly is special for me. On Friday March 04, 2011 Zoe and I attended the fairy tea party at the Provo City Library.

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful bumble bee fairy named Zoe Marie......



Zoe and the Fairy King. Zoe and the Fairy king and his Fairy's.

Zoe being cute.
