Ian's Room is FINISHED! for the most part...

So I have to start by saying a HUGE thank you to my girlfriend CYNDI!!  She made his bedding and it is completely amazing!!  She is seriously one of the most talented people I know and those of you who know me well, know that she has taught me how to sew and make other fun crafts!  This fabric was the inspiration for Ian's room!  YEAH it is finally finished!  Well, almost I still need to hang things on the wall!
The blanket above!  LOVE the ruffle trim!
Bumper, sheet and bed skirt!  GORGEOUS!
She used a gray swirly minky fabric that I love too!
Ian's first time in his new room!
I had Jeff put a 3 inch bead board six feet tall with a trim around the top!  I love the bead board so much!  I also love that Jeff knows how to do this kind of thing.  I repainted an old dresser of Jeff's that his Pomp made for him years ago!  Solid wood!!  
Ian on the rocking chair!  I did make the baby quilt behind him.
Checking out the drawers!  My baby loves to open and clothes things!
I'm so glad Ian is finally in his own room!  Even if it took us a whole year to get him there!  Now we have to finish the basement so Britten can have his own room!  He got the boot from Ian and has been a good sport up in the bonus room!  

stay tuned!  more post to come!  hopefully tomorrow!!

Sarah told me today, "I miss Jesus Mommy, that is why I am sad."  Then I told her how sweet she was and how much Jesus loves and misses her.  I also told her that every time she prays she is talking to Jesus and he loves to hear her prayers.  She says the sweetest prayers by the way.  I keep thinking I need to video both Britten and Sarah praying because they are so sweet and straight from the heart!  

BatH TiMe!

Rub a dub dub Ian LOVES the tub!!  He usually cries when I take him out!  

Britten turns 6!!

Britten was about 5 days old here!!  Where did the time go?
Britten wanted to see Monsters VS. Aliens for his birthday!  So we invited 10 of his friends and went to see the 3D movie!!  Then we headed next door to the pizza place to eat some pizza!!  These are a little out of order so...
Make a wish!!
Here is the group!!  Such good kids!  When we first talked about his birthday party I told him he could invite 10 friends because we were going to the movie!  The first name on his list was his kindergarten teacher Mrs. Reide!  How cute is that?  So she and her son came to his party!
