Babies and floors

As I said in my last post I was doing a gender reveal for my sister and her husband. It was a lot of work, very fun and exciting, but lots of work. That day started off not so good, Tim woke up feeling horrible so he went to the dr. And they said "stay home and rest, no work for you" (I imagine it being said with a shaking finger). Tim came back home was in bed all day, so splitting my time to get ready for guests and take care of him, yikes, it was a lot.



It all came together and was a great evening with big news for the Buckles'.  They got to find out they are having a baby BOY and they signed on their new house the same day, how great is that!! 

I had also mentioned that we were getting new floors. Originally they were to be done Friday and Saturday, then it got moved up to Wednesday and Thursday then we were told  "we can do it ALL on Tuesday", I said "sign me up!!". 

Before: 

After: 

Amazing!!! Is all I have to say, yeah to new floors!!!! To have it all done in one day is just so awesome, now to put it all back together to look like a home again. 
I hope your Tuesday was as great as mine!!! 
Have an ahhhhmazimg week!

August = Busy



Since coming home from our wonderful honeymoon we/I have been BUSY. A very dear friend recently had a baby and some medical issues arose as she was learning to be a new mom, she ended up in the hospital for 5 weeks and was diagnosed with MS. So naturally everyone she knows has offered her help and support, I was asked to dog sit while they had the carpets cleaned for her homecoming, I said "yes" without hesitation and Sprinkles was of course hesitating the morning of. She is not a fan of other dogs, she's just scared, so she  barked a good part of the day until I realized if I hold her she will stop. Poor puppies, being harassed in a scary place, but they finally all calmed down for a nap most of the afternoon.
 

Prayers for the White's as they learn this new road ahead of them.


I was a part of helping with Audra's baby shower for baby #2, I got to make some cute decorations (I am bias),

and us with momma to be, she is definitely all baby with little Sammie and we were all prints!






Along with planning things I have been planning my sisters gender reveal, I sure do love everything baby these days (can't wait till it's me). I thought we would do simple and she wants to do the cupcakes with the color in the middle. Well I had to try out the process just to make sure it could be done DIY and you betchya, my mom and Kenzie tested out my creations and they said it works. So, my sister goes Thursday to find out and I get to see the results (I love being the 1st to know), and the event is Friday evening with just family. I made the invitations through May Designs, I have loved their planners and now I love their cards, you must check them out!


 We have been in our home for a year now and when we bought it we had beer goggles on I guess because there are a lot of things we missed as in our floors. I have been really pressing to get them redone especially before we have any little Baker's coming. So since I have been on summer break I have had way too much time to look at the floors, poor Tim hears me complain about them all the time. We started looking at flooring stores and talking to others who have gotten floors, and folks we have decided on one and they are coming soon to make this momma wife happy!!!

I will do a post of gender reveal and floors soon, both very exciting things but very different!!!
