Sweet Baby Eli

My sweet neighbor let me take pictures of her new baby Elijah Ryne!

He was the easiest person to work with :)

And this is her sweet 3 year old... Ashton

Grace's fairy Garden PArty!

In May we had the joy of celebrating our Grace's 5th birthday! Of course,

it had to be a Tinkerbelle party...

I somewhat struggle with going straight to the normal Tinkerbelle stuff, so I came up with some of my own stuff...

Here are a ton of pics from the party...

I tried to "keep it simple", but really it did take a lot of work and preparation.

Ok, so once again life has just been out of control!

I am sure I am not the only one who thinks that...

Here are a few of the things we have been up to over the past couple of weeks...

First we went to spend Mother's Day with my parents.

We got to go visit my 94 year old grandparents... who were so cute and stopped playing their winning Bingo card to come see us :)

These are my mom's neighbors...they are the same age as Grace and Fish...

It is so fun to have instant entertainment every time we go down there.

We also celebrated Grace's 5th birthday!!!!

I have a whole post coming up on her fairy Garden party...

We went a fished at Preston's parent's house

And my baby is about to turn 1 this Saturday!!!!

Here is the deal...

Mandi over at Vintage Revivals is having this AMAZING contest:

I mean seriously, who could not use a GIANT push in the right direction! I really do love my house and have put my own touches on most rooms in the house, except one! I am totally lost and have zero vision on where to go or what to do....

I am so not one to "suck up" or plead my case, but I am desperate...

So let the whining, weeping, begging, pleading, acting like a 3 year old, begin...

Now I know that a kitchen might be a big deal and maybe not the most awesome room in the house for you to take over, BUT...

I promise that if you come and have your way with my kitchen you will not be disappointed, I mean it can only go up from here, seriously?

I am open to anything that is different to what it is now... Paint the cabinets, countertops,paint the ceiling, new table,you name it, I'll do it!

It is not that it is just so BLAH, it has so much unused space and lacks any and all character... I don't do so well with that. I day dream about being in a beautiful kitchen enjoying doing the dishes and enjoying cleaning up the constant messes of my three kids under the age of 5, (I can't imagine why I lack any motivation or extra time to accomplish this project or anything?)I mean isn't this what happens to all those blogland people out there with the most amazing white, crisp, welcoming kitchens? (Lie to me please!)

(I would love to figure out how to put some type of island or something? I need more storage, your imagination could go crazy with what you could do!)

I mean, what is not to love... orange, orange and more orange cabinets!

And seriously, who puts 12 by 12 floor tile for a backsplash?????

Awkward eating area that does NOT even hold our entire family...

Florescent lights in the kitchen...AHHHHH! I am starting to freak out just looking at all of these pictures...

Another wonderful lighting fixture crying out for a change!

You would have so much you could do and change and I would just sit there are agree with whatever you say... I can also tell you that if you did pick my house I could probably convince my husband to take care of some of the other projects that need to be done before you get here, like the appliances, and the floor, so...

you could have a truly AMaZING before and after...

ALso, another reason you should totally pick my kitchen is because I know that there are a lot of us out there who are "blessed" to have this same type of kitchen... Therefore , you could inspire all of us out there with what to do!

My husband would be eternally grateful to you, what he wouldn't do to get me to stop talking about how much I do not like our kitchen would be priceless to him...

And, I think I am pretty fun...so a few days down here in New Braunfels, Texas, would be so much fun. I could show you Schlitterbahn, the Guadalupe and Comal rivers, and show you one of the largest outlet malls in the country! BARGAINS GALORE! I mean people pay big bucks to come see "God's Country" as the tourists like to call it! How do you compete with that? Think of all the fun memories!

The Rivers:

Schlitterbahn!

Outlet mall:

Well, now I am going to go and try to scrape what is left of my pride up off the ground and wait for the results!

And to all of you out there who read my blog....I would love you forever and ever if you vote for my kitchen in a couple of weeks! I will for sure let you know when that starts :)
