My sweet Sammy turned 2!


I can't believe my sweet boy is 2!  We had a fun little family party for him at our house.  His favorite book is "The Hungry Little Caterpillar".  I thought that would be a really cute theme.  I think everything turned our really fun! 



Loved his "cupcake cake"!


We had the biggest sandwich ever! 

Yum!

I found these great hats at Target and I just glued some pompoms all the way around.  Super cute!

Before: So precious!

After: He's such a funny little guy.

Fun times with Sammy's cousin Grayson.

Crazy cousins!  Love them!

Yum!

Me and my big boy!

Happy Birthday sweet boy!  We love you!

A and T's new room...

T and A have been sharing a room for about two years now.  When our sweet little man came, I would go in and find them sleeping together in T's room.  They had their own rooms, but I guess they just wanted to be together.  It makes me very happy that they wanted to share a room. I think its very sweet! They have completely different tastes and I had know idea how I was going to make it work. They both LOVE the beach (just like their mommy) and the ideas started flowing.  First on my list was the colors.  I love how gray and yellow look together.  I found a beautiful gray from  Benjamin Moore called Coventry Gray.  I love it!  Not too blue or green, just a really calm gray.  My awesome friend Seth made them the most BEAUTIFUL bunk beds ever!  My sweet hubby painted them a few shades lighter then the Coventry Gray.  I love how they turned out!  Then, I found some really cute yellow and white comforters from Target.  I also found some really sweet gray sheet sets there.  Then, I found some awesome milk crates from Target that fit perfectly under the beds.  Oh how I love TARGET!!!!  I made some hot pink and yellow flower balls that I hung up in the corner.  The frames that I used were frames that I already had and I just painted them white and distressed them a bit.  Everything I used on the walls are items that I already had and I just used them in different ways.  I also printed out a 11x14 poster of a pic that I took of a daisy and I love how it turned out.  The girls are loving their new room!  It's so fresh and sweet.

Here are some pics of their new room:  PS: My little man wouldn't get out of my shot.  Lol!

Our kitchen redo...Love it!


I'm super excited to FINALLY have our kitchen finished!  If you know me really well, you know that I ADORE the beach.  I was trying to go for a beachy-cottage look.  I painted the walls a really pretty blue/gray/green color called comfort gray.  I love it!  It's really calm and soothing.  I painted our cabinets white and distressed them a bit.  Love how they turned out!  I'm sorry I don't have a before pic, but I can tell you it was a little boring.  I wanted something light and beachy feeling.  We used small tiles from Home Depot that were $.29 a piece.  We had our tile guys place them in a subway formation.  We found a really pretty laminate counter top that was very cost effective and looks great!  It's hard to see in the pic, but the color looks like sand with white speckles in it.  I think they turned out awesome!  We also saved up for our lovely stainless appliance's.  Love the look, I don't like the fingerprints!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new burlap roman shades!  My sweet friends mama made these beautiful shades for me.  She did such a wonderful job!  I think they really pull everything together. We worked really hard on our kitchen.  It has been a work in progress for a long time.  We did everything with a small budget.   Here are a few close up pics.

My beautiful roman shades.  Love them!
