easter







so easter was a week ago, but i haven't posted anything in awhile, so here are a couple pics from our easter sunday spent with manu, darren and william, (sipa's sister, her husband, and little boy who turns two next month Mason and Kennedy were trying to humor me as i kept trying to take pictures but always one or the other would have eyes closed because it was so bright, oh well, they still look cute!...as you can see we had more eggs filled with candy than any 3 children ages 5, 3, & 1 should be allowed to collect, the easter bunny will have to be spoken with about how many kids were really collecting eggs....oh well, it was a fun day with good company.

HGTV is of the devil

So I have decided that HGTV must be of the devil, ok, so not really, but i have watched those shows too many times, that now that we are seriously thinking about selling i keep thinking, what if we did a little bit more, what if we took $2000 and finished everything else we want to finish, you know like designed to sell, you've seen what they can do for $2000, why can't clive and lisa come to my house?! should we do the driveway, or replace some windows, what about putting in an air conditioner? what about paint, should I repaint, what about the deck, what if we enclosed it and made it a big walk in closet for our bedroom, what if we added a full second story, like extend out about the living room and kitchen, what if we extended out to the back yard, added another bedroom and bathroom, what if we got really crazy, and put the kitchen in the back of the house, AHHH! these are the thoughts that keep me awake at night, channel flipping but always returning to that cursed channel 45, grrr! and then i think well people out here still can't really afford the asking prices for homes out here, so if we list lower, we'll sell faster and be in cali faster, which is good, but then i can't get some of the houses i like out there, decisions, decisions, breathe!

Sping Cakes




so the other day i decided to make a spring cake with fondant, so i made a whole bunch of colors and the kids and i had fun decorating. they told me which shapes to make in which color and where to put them...not necessarily how i would've decorated, but it was fun to do with them.

Bathroom progress...so far

before daddy's helper
new frame
new surround
tile in- just needs grout


so i decided to post a couple pics of the master bath remodel so far. i never remember to take a picture before we start any demolition, so if you hadn't been in my bathroom before, there used to be a wallpaper border where the dark green stripe is, also the brown tile surrounding the tub, used to be on the wall, i got anxious to start and popped them all off, along with the open exposed area, obviously we didn't live with it like that, but i thought i would clarify incase someone thought we were crazier than we already are, and chose to live in crazy and destruction for long periods of time...oh wait...umm, nevermind. to finish we still need to switch out the toilet, paint the walls (i'm thinking a icy blue? not to dark?), and refinish the vanity- i guess it will also be better once we actually put the bathtub in (right now i am lucky enough to have 2- count them, 2 bathtubs, in my bedroom- my dad thinks i may start a new fad, but the new one in on the floor in front of sipa's closet, and the old, very very very heavy one is standing up leaning on my closet) safe- ummm, no, inconvenient- ummm, yes, will it be worth it when all is said and done and i am relaxing in a nice bubble bath, yes, so i will try to be patient.

Rascal Flatts




so last night was a lot of fun! for our anniversary last month sipa got us tickets to go see rascal flatts, with kelly pickler as the opener. so we had a crazy afternoon, finally dropped the kids off at my in-laws and went. saw some friends up there and loved the concert. it was prety much amazing, unfortunately i sat next to super annoying girl with a blood curdling scream, but other than that fabulous! thanks honey for a fun night, thanks manu for keeping the kids!

comments

ok, so everyone has been having issues trying to post comments, i think i got it fixed, hopefully....so sipa started actually doing the tub surround today, but he went back down to lowe's and the cap tiles for the edge are now $2 more PER TILE than they were on saturday, needless to say, not very happy about it, so i think i'm going to have to go investigate, because it's not so much that i'm cheap, it's i don't want to spend money on a house i'm not going to be staying in for more than 6 months! oh well, going to watch new amsterdam...looks interesting, hopefully it won't disappoint
