Roomies.

My boys are Roomies.
Well, they will be very soon. I wanted to get the boys situated before our new bundle arrives. So a room re-do was in order.
BUNKS! This was also part of Brayden's birthday present as well.
He is thrilled to have the "top bunk". And, occasionally I will catch him just hangin' out up there. It is so cute.
Greyson was equally excited! He would climb up on his bed, kick his feet back and forth and just grin.
Even though this project is not totally finished, there are still a few things I had in mind to do...But a good start anyway.

 The gas can was my Pop-Pop's..really old and rusted. love it.

My boys. Roomies. So fun.

5.

My baby is 5.
Where has the time gone?  I am so proud, blessed and honored to have this little boy in my life.   He has brought so much joy into all of our lives. Children are the greatest blessing!  It IS what life is about.


Brayden growing by leaps and bounds.  Kindergarten this fall. WHAT?! His is so smart and asks  a lot of questions which is a good thing.  He has a kind, soft heart.  A pure sweet soul.
I love him more then life itself.  I have been so emotional about this birthday, it is truly a milestone.  I am grateful everyday for him.  
He looked in the mirror and said, "yep, I am 5 now...I am really tall."


The BIG 5.
So, to celebrate he wanted an Army party.  Hoo-RAH!!
It was fun to put together and have some of his friends over.  Just a taste of more parties in the future! And, I was so thankful the weather held out, it ended up being a beautiful day!
 Thanks to all of our family and friends for making his day extra special.

French Refresher.

Feeling a little bit of the winter blues. I cannot wait for spring to arrive! It is my second favorite time of the year.  Although the weather has been looking up.
I get the itch to open my windows to let some crispy fresh air in. Do some deep spring cleaning and of course fluff the house. I am especially looking forward to visiting some nurseries, wandering through rows of beautiful flowers and deciding what herbs and veggies I will be planting this year.
While I was craving some spring I came across this beautiful blog.
www.frenchlarkspur.blogspot.com

I love the old french rustic style. And it inspired me to do a little "refreshing"...
Her home is fabulous. Her style is fabulous. Simple and Fresh.
I also have been wanting to find an old wood ladder! I fell in love with this and I want one...
Been on the lookout and have seen a few but not wanting to pay a million bucks for it.

And why is it that we have NO good flea markets???!!!
I would die to find one..A really good one...Just the thought of meandering through displays of yummy old things gives me butterflies.
My little "refresher" is nothing like hers but...it inspired me and gave me a lift!

A few crisp accessories. A good reminder that spring is coming and to help lighten and brighten the winter drab. This fabulous old crate was found by none other then my hubby.  Of all places he was elk hunting and came across it abandoned, filled with vintage coke, ginger ale and lemonade glass bottles.    
A gauzy white cloth and burlap for layering.  And one of my favorite things, a rusty wire basket.

I also came across this vintage hand embroidered napkin..."Hot Biscuits" it made me smile, so naturally it had to come home with me.

While on my hunt for a mini spring "lift" this light rug with a cream trellis pattern now grounds my dining table and some new carved side chairs on either side.  Perfect for taking a moment and soaking up some warm sunshine in the afternoon.

 And, I  picked up this old curved cane back sitting chair for a steal...It was brown and bleh. So with a fresh coat of creamy paint he is now tucked by my fireplace. Ready for a good book.

Until then ladies...wishing for the golden rays of spring sunshine, crispy air, and Spring Refreshment. Cheers!

Pretty Thing.

So Pretty.
This little sweetie caught my eye, and I loved it. I was agonizing over it for a few days.  Brady is such a sweetheart and completely understands my crazy, obsessed LOVE for furniture.  He saw how badly I was squirming over it and said.. "If you love it, get it." Love Him.
I do have to say I have not purchased a piece of furniture in over a year. 
I think that may be some sort of record.
Needless to say, I sigh everytime I see it. Such a pretty little thing.

My sis-in-law Ashley told me about this great Antique Mall downtown. She also shares the love for beautiful things, and the thrill of a perfect find. And I am so happy that she did! Thanks Ash

I also love milk glass.  I love anything glass really, but all the detailed patterns in milk glass are so lovely.


I am so happy this found a home in mine!

Ordinary Day.

I love everyday. Ordinary days.  That is what makes them extraordinary.
My boys are so fun to play with, create with, and make everyday memories with.
Typical Friday. Playing "race track" on my rug, lining up ALL of the cars Brayden owns.  Counting how many there are is quite the math practice! 
Brayden has caught my bug on "projects" and that is exactly what he calls them.  He likes to create, draw, cut, glue, and TAPE.  He always says,"Mom, I want to do a project." 
His latest drawing creation...Monster Truck Posters. He is actually quite the little artist...

Maybe he gets it from his Uncle Bern. 

Greyson also loves to join in the fun too.  After everything big brother has.  It is just plain adorable.  I love my boys they are my GREATEST joy and blessing.  They bring the extraordinary out in every ordinary days.

Coming SOON?!

Yes. 

Coming Soon....In fact September 20th to be exact.

Baby Beyer No.3 

I know we didn't waste anytime.  I could NOT believe it.  I bought 2 tests...still not convinced :) I went out and bought a third!  Yep. Preggers. 

All we went through trying with Greyson, I will take it!  A little sooner then expected but, needless to say we are thrilled and excited to  welcome our new bundle.

So, 8 weeks and counting....

First ultrasound down, so far so good.

Our Monkey is 1.

He is such a JOY!  Our monkey Greyson is ONE...I cannot believe where the time has gone.
Being the very curious, wandering, and acrobatic little guy he is we threw him a....

Sock Monkey Party 

Our boys are the love of our lives and our baby is now one year old.  He grows by leaps and bounds everyday.  So inquisitive and wanting to do whatever big brother is doing.  He says Mama, Dada, waves bye-bye, patty-cake, peek-a-boo, "no-no-no-no-no-no" (while he ferociously shakes his head so) climbs on EVERYTHING.  Finds "holes" places under and behind furniture that I cannot reach him, he thinks it's pretty hysterical.  I love watching my boys together.  The are the best of buddies.  Brayden has already taught him the "motor" lips....Yes, Greyson already has the motor noise going when he is playing with cars.  They melt my heart and are my greatest joy and blessing.  I love you my baby!!  Happy Birthday.
