From house to home part 1!!

We have been in our home for 13 months already! it seems like yesterday we were planning a wedding and thinking about what our life would be like a married couple. Little did we know that our family would be started so soon! So The first year of our marriage I was way more worried about getting through my pregnancy than I was about making our house feel more like a home!
Since I am now a stay at home Mom, and loving every minute I get to spend with my little G Money! I am doing so really fun PROJETS (or better known as Projects!)
(I really miss my Reese, Cash and Carter, in case you didn't notice!)
My newest obsession is going to Garage Sales and buys old, ghetto furniture and making it ours!


*This was a serious 1970's cabinet, that was so ugly and dirty,
Now check it out! I LOVE IT!

*This was a little boys dresser, and it was colored on and had lots of scratches and was not a nice color....And look at it now! An awesome place to store my sewing machine!
Now, if i could only find a place to store my 4 tubs of fabric?!?

*This bench is so dang cute I just Love it!
It fits perfectly in my hallway!
It used to be brown with water spots on the seat...
Now its a Dream in Cream!!!!! LOVE IT!

I am so happy that we are starting to turn our house in to a home! It's an amazing feeling!

P.s. Just want to say how much I miss my sister and her family... it seems so quite around my Moms house when we go over there. I just keep telling myself that they will be back soon enough.
But, let me tell you...not having your best friend 20 minutes away it really hard.
Love you sister!( I am still the cute one!) haha

1st Anniversary and MORE!!!!

It is so hard to believe that 1 year ago today Brett and I were getting married!!!
It was such a special day and I would never change that day for anything!!!!!
Sorry I don't have any pictures for us all to reminisce about the earlier days of our relationship...but our other computer died with all the pictures on it.
(my pictures are still safe, i just can;t get to them today.)
In one year we have done so many things...including turning our house in to a home, and bringing the most beautiful BIG MAN (baby boy) in to this world! We have grown closer and our love has grown stronger as we start our family. I can't wait to have TONS more years just like this one!
I Love you Brett! You are an amazing husband, and a wonderful Daddy!

On a different note....G Money decided to make our anniversary just a little sweeter today....
HE ROLLED OVER FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH OUT ANY HELP!!!!!
He goes from his back to his tummy, and he does it EVERY time I put him down on his back, so it wasn't just a fluke!!!!!Align CenterBrett and I were so excited, and we are just amazed to watch our son grow and become a little boy!!!!! It is so fun!!!!!!*Before the big event!!!!!!!


*And After!!!!!
He was so proud of himself! It was so Cute!!!!

Halloween!!!!

Halloween is such a fun time of year.. in most places the weather changes and the leaves start to fall...but here in Arizona, we wear short sleeves and worry that our kids will be too hot in their costumes...not too cold!!!!
But, this year was quite a change for us, before kids Halloween is all about going to parties with you friends and staying out really late!
Now that we have Gage, holidays have for sure changed for the better! I could not ask for anything better than watching my son on his first Halloween!
It was so much fun!
Every year we carve pumpkins at my parents house!
Brett is a master at carving pumpkins, so my mom and I always try to find something fun for him to do!

*Family Picture at Mom's with Brett's super cool Pumpkin!!!!
(Gage wasn't a fan of being inside the pumpkin!!!!)


Barbie got Gage this way cute ghost onsie, and it was a little tight around the thighs.... But so fun!
*This is Gage with his cousin Kyle(Brett's brother's youngest!)
*Grandma Sherri made bibs for them and they were so cute!
*Uncle is so smart! He rigged a wagon to the back of his bike so that Reese and Cash could ride and not take FOREVER! We Learned that last year!!!!!!


* Now this is the soldier that I would want to defend e!!!!!
His costume was made by yours truly!!!!!
It was so much fun to make it!(I did Cash's too!)
He was just SOOO DANG CUTE~!!!!
