Bruisers new trick and Grandma Gainey's Visit

I went in to my room and found Bruiser has a new trick. He waits until you put a brand new roll of tp on then takes it off the roll for you. Next he hides half of it under the bed. I was so mad! But he is so cute.

Grandma Gainey came to visit for a weekend to plan Zacks graduation trip and we took a break from planning to play the Wii. Grandma was so funny to watch. She was getting way into it. I had to make sure she had the wrist strap on so I didn't have to buy a new TV.





My new Kitchen

In June I had this CRAZY idea to redo my kitchen. I couldn't rip everything out and start over so a few gallons of paint would have to do. We painted the walls yellow and I didn't like the look of the cabinets so thanks to all the DIY blogs I decided to paint them. Let me just say next time I'll will be more then willing to pay the thousand of dollars and have them done by someone else. Brandon told me I was crazy before we started and half way through I was believing him that I was. But I LOVE how they turned out. Pictures don't do it justice. I have always loved the old country look so that's what I went with. I forgot to take pictures of the whole kitchen before I started.



This is what all the cabinets looked like to start with.


Looks like I need to organize.


Paint drying then it started to pour and only lasted 5 minutes. I was so mad.



The finished project!

Probably one of my favorite thing. I found this way cool frame at an antique shop but it was broken. I took it to Grandpa and he fixed it for me. Now I have a cute magnet board to put pictures and you all know how much I LOVE picture! If you send me one this is where it will be displayed.(hint hint, send'em my way!)


Next project: the guest bathroom!

June Vacation


Brandon and I took a trip down to Santa Monica to hang out by the beach and hit up a Dodger vs Braves game. All in all it was a way fun trip except for the stupid drunk Mexicans at the ball game who perfected the "f" word and spilt beer on Brandon (lets just say Lacey wasn't to happy with that). Our good friends the Francoms and the Phillipenass went down too. Its always fun going on vacations with good company. Hopefully this was the first of a few trips this summer. Maybe we'll go camping next.

Happy Mother's Day





Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing Mothers out there!

This is a day that I dread every year, but I am thankful to all of you Mother's who are wonderful examples to me and I know one day I will get to enjoy the title of Mother.

Our First 5 Years of Forever!!

Brandon and I hit our 5 year mark of marriage on March 25! It has been an amazing, fun, trying, growing together and learning 5 years. We have been through some things we never thought we'd have to deal with, had some Awesome vacation, watched some highs and lows of Brandon's coaching adventures, lost some very important family members and young friends/ students. We have grown closer together and have learned that TOGETHER we can make it through anything!!! We are excited to see what the next 5+ years has to bring us.

Brandon: I love you more than you will ever know. Thanks for sticking by me and being there with me through my lowest times. I love you so much and am thankful for amazing man you are. Thanks for all you do for me. I love you Babe!!!

New addition

Remember my post about patience? Well we decided to test it out with this:






Meet Bruiser!! He a 9 week old Maltese and they say he will only get to be about 3lbs!! So far he has been a great dog. We have had him for a week and it has been an adjustment. I'm not really a dog person but i just love little Bruiser!
