What is on my birthday list?



Nikon D40 SLR Camera with Lens. Isn't it sexy?



Kitchenaid Mixer that can make anything and everything under the sun or just sit on the counter and look pretty. Whatever works :)




The oh so beautiful ECU Pirate purple laptop by Dell. It would go with with the ECU gold walls in my office huh?

The list goes on but these are the three fabulous pieces of my dreams.

Then and Now


Hey everyone! This is my mom's blog but she has posted a lot in the last couple days but just in case you haven't noticed like none of the words are about me so I decided to do something about it.

So, I used to be real little. Before my Mom and Dad came to pick me up my "mommy before my mommy" would send pictures through something called email (whatever that is). The picture up there is the first of many these silly people would make me take. Beside me on the left that is my brother. He was nice but he went home with another nice family.



This picture was on my new porch on my second day with my new family. I was tired after playing in the mud all day so I decided to lay down.




For those of you who don't know me well I like to lay in the grass and chew on things too. In this picture I'm chewing on something reeeallly tasty. It was probably a rock that mommy had to take away so I wouldn't get choked.





This was my first swim. Silly dog parents bought me a pool to see if I liked the water. Ummm, I guess they didn't read the owner's manual that came with me. Labs LOVE water.






See, I told you I like to chew on things. This is a really tasty stick I found in the yard. It was good.







This is my favorite place to sleep besides the couch or the bed. It's nice and cool.


Thanks for stopping by! I'm going to post more later when I can get mom to load some more recent pics on the 'puter. This one is from July so I've grown quite a bit since then. My 7 month birthday was October 1st and I'm about 55 lbs now. Little do they know I'm going to grow A LOT more...hehehehehe!
Have a good weekend!

The Time Traveler's Wife Book Review

So, I had read the raves about this book and I'm going to say up front I totally don't think it was all it was cracked up to be.

There was no real suspense involved in this story and it really wasn't that great of a love story because of the fact that the main character was a time traveler. Due to this you knew what was going to happen way in advance so there was no real "wait and see" because you were told what would happen.

Oh well, I'm reading The Red Tent and it has gotten off to a slow start so far but it seems to be getting better. Here's to hoping!

It's my birthday month!!

Yay! It feels so good outside too. Let the celebration begin :)

Our New Home with Paint Added



Above is the view from the kitchen into the breakfast nook. Originally, we had that china cabinet in the dining room and the one in the dining room in the corner of the breakfast nook but scratch that because they are now relocated.

The color on the walls in here is SW Basket Beige. This is the same color used throughout most of the house.

Can you see my pretty china in the pretty cabinet? You love it don't you? I hope so because I'm mildly obsessed with my pretty little plates.





This is the view looking from the hallway/laundry room through the dining room and foyer into the office. Did you catch all that?




The guest bath. Oh, how I love thee. I'm going to add a piece of furniture to store pretty towels in as well as hang a couple of pictures of Tonka but this room is almost done hopefully.

We used SW Sassy Green in this room. Don't you just love it?





The dining room. We are yet to actually sit at this table and eat since we eat all of our meals on the deck. Pretty soon we are going to get some use out of it for both Thanksgiving and my upcoming Supper Club with the JL ladies.

The color we used in this room is SW Fireweed. Also, please ignore the ugle and very fake plant. I'm decorating the table for all and donating him to the Bargain Box for someone else to have.






Ahhh, my sanctuary. Actually, I very rarely go in here and the doors stay closed but this is my ECU room. See the picture on the wall? I'm going to be adding a few other smaller prints in the next couple of weeks.

The color in here is SW Beeswax. It's actually a lot brighter than this picture makes it look but it still looks really nice and calming.




Steve's sanctuary. There used to be a hole above the tv but it is now gone thanks to our wonderful painters who closed it in for us. It looks a lot cleaner with the tv hanging.

Also, I'm going to be decorating the mantle for fall this week as well.

Don't you remember? I love fall!

Thanks for stopping by. Part of the reason I started this blog is so I could chronicle our house updates so look for more in the very near future.

Have a great day!
