My sister made some puppy feet (to resemble Hman's feet) booties. I tried to take a picture of them both. It was hard to get the dog to comply.

News
Herman's big announcement.
The official due date is July 10, 2013. I am only 14 weeks currently. There's not much to see. We took some late night photos when I was at 12 weeks so they are not good. There's a horrible shadow that makes it look like there is so much more there than there is.
Of course, the dog couldn't resist a photo bombing. I think it's funny. There really wasn't that much there at this time. We would take some today but it's dark and overcast again. Hard to take a photo.

We go to the doctor this Monday. Maybe more news then. As of right now we do not know the gender but will find out.

Five years
We celebrated our five year anniversary yesterday. We started out at the arboretum, headed to Torchy's for lunch, the Saucer to waste time and then dinner at Three Forks. It was a wonderful day. It was a day well needed after our horrible Thursday evening but that is another story for another time.
I made G take some pictures with me. We didn't have anyone to take the pictures which is why it's kind of a horrible shot. In another picture the dog walked into the frame but that is our life.
Five years ago and today.

Christmas 2012
This was the third Christmas in our house and the second time G had gone crazy with lights. The very first Christmas we lived here we moved in ten days before Christmas. We just didn't have the time to go insane.
This year G made it even bigger and crazier. The Christmas tree was larger and he added even more lights. It's a sickness. :)
It did look awesome.
I love how it looks bright even in a picture. He has hope of synchronizing it to music next year. We will have to see. As it is, I was sitting on the sofa Christmas Eve and was seeing flashes of lights and it turned out people were taking pictures of the house. Someone also told us they used our house on their Christmas card. Weird.
In other news the school year is more than half over and I am ready for this.

Floor Remodel Update
What were we thinking with that ambitious floor remodel? SEVERAL months later we are still dealing with it. It took all summer for G to get the baseboards done but they look good.
He also put up split face around the fireplace. I was unsure about this tile color but I guess it's ok enough.
Here's the whole look decorated for Halloween. I did some Martha and made mice for the baseboards. I also made the wreath out of Halloween scrap fabric. Sorry, it's a iPhone photo.
G also put in fancy moldings in our dinning room we don't use.
After the baseboards went it, we had some guys out to caulk and paint them. We did a coat of pre-paint before he put them in but they needed more and I wasn't about to do it. Earlier this month we FINALLY got new carpet put in. It was all I wanted, to rid the house of the previous owners' toe nail clippings.
The finished laundry room floor.
A picture of the puppy who is sick with a bacterial infection. He has spent the day in bed. But look at those beautiful floors!
A shot of the foyer.
A shot of the breakfast nook.
We are certainly glad to be almost done. We just need to touch up the paint from flying tile pieces and the guys installing the wood floor. Now we are looking forward to Christmas and decorating the front of the house again. As always, it will be over the top!

Mississippi 2011
G and I ventured out to the great state of Mississippi to visit the Richardsons. We had not seen baby Grey in several months and he has changed a lot. He is walking and busy. We enjoyed some time at the fountains.
We also ventured out to the Jackson zoo. You can get so close to the animals. It was a bit freaky. They had a special event going on called an Ice Cream Safari. For $2 you could eat all the Blue Bell ice cream you wanted and vote for your favorite "celebrity" scooper. These were local Jackson celebrities therefore I had no idea who they were but the ice cream was great!
Baby Grey seems to really enjoy the zoo.
We had a great time just like last year. Looking forward to Mississippi 2012!

Crafting & Television
It's summer. I don't have to go to school and actually be productive but I can't just sit around all day doing nothing. I will go CRAZY! This is why I occupy my time watching Beverly Hills, 90210 or Gilmore Girls on DVD over and over again while making things (that G thinks are pointless). It's what I do. Anyway, I have been really into crafting blogs lately and have found some great new ideas. I'm pretty into white lately and I first found a 4th of July wreath that I fell in love with. Her's is cuter and it took my some time to not only cut out the fabric but to arrange it. I then came across an idea for garland made from paint chips. I am not proud because I had to "borrow" several paint chips from Lowe's but I love the way it came out.
I have also been totally preoccupied with mug rugs and coffee cozies. If you are not up with the mug rug (like G), it's smaller than a place mat but bigger than a coaster to accommodate your drink and snack. I made a Halloween one for my mother.
Then I found some fish fabric yesterday. She loves fish as much as Halloween.
The fish one didn't turn out as well. I made a matching coffee cozy but I need to get velcro to be able to fasten it.
I also found a pattern I loved at Moda Bakeshop. So I got the fabric and got to it. Cutting all the triangles about gave me a fit. It's not quilted yet because I need to go get the backing fabric but I really love all the white. Sorry for the iPhone photo.
I am about to hack into a jelly roll to make another quilt I found on the internet. I was really excited about it but then they left out two fabrics from it and now I have to tweek it. I have been putting it off.
I am currently looking for some Halloween type crafting because I won't have time in October. I also found some patterns for reusable fabric zip-locks. Only I need nylon and I'm not sure where to get nylon. It's something I'm thinking over. Now kiddos, it's nearly 2:00 that is a sacred time in the summer for me... Sonic Happy Hour.

Vegas Vacation
Last week we ventured out to Las Vegas.
The boys were pretty pumped to be in Vegas. We stayed at the Venetian. It was beautiful but could have been more customer friendly.
The first night we went to see Mystere at TI. The pirate show in front of TI was way more family friendly the last time I was in Vegas. The show was good but very very dirty in a cheesy way.
The second day we ventured out down the strip. We quickly walked through Ceaser's. The Forum is still pretty and it had a H&M! It was three floors.
After the stop at H&M, we went over to the Bellagio. The boys lost some money while I walked through their fine art exhibit. They had some wonderful art. We ventured out into the heat to watch the fountain show out front. It was great.
We ate dinner at a great little Italian place in the shops attached to the Venetian. We headed back down the strip to Paris to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. They made it sound more interesting than it was. It was basically just an expensive picture taking experience.
There was a couple up there who were standing VERY close to me while getting WAY too friendly. The smacking, wet kind of kissing and rubbing.
On our third day after spending the morning at the pool, we took a cab down to New York, New York. We rode the roller coaster that runs through the building.
I got a large margarita there that had an insect floating in it. Not so fun. After a very hot walk, we ended up at MGM. We all won money and saw them feed the MGM lions!
That took us on the hunt for Wayne Newton merchandise at the Tropicana. His website says he has a store there but he doesn't. Tropicana was nicer than I expected but we all lost money there. Boo. And then back to MGM for our show Crazy Horse Paris. It was a girlie show. I loved all the dancing. We ate at Pink's hot dogs for dinner. I've always wanted to try Pink's! By the time we walked all the way back to the Venetian I was beyond tired so I went to bed. The boys stayed up and played more. It was a great trip and we all came back breaking even or better.
