Happy 6th Anniversary!

Today's our 6th year anniversary and the traditional gift is candy. Ryan's favorite is gummy worms so I decided to spell out a message for him. After he saw it, he told me a troll must have eat the "s". Those sneaky trolls are always messing up my spelling!

3-Year-Old Check Up

I've been completely busy lately and I just realized I forgot to blog about H's 3-year-old check up. He's 3 ft, 1.25 inches (43%) and weighs 33 pounds (63%). The nurse took his blood pressure and he did really well. They tried to do an eye exam (it shows pictures of a circle, house, square (which he called a window) and a heart. It wasn't really successful, it's hard for a 3-year-old to remember to keep covering one eye :) 

In the above picture, Harrison is "blowing" hugs to me. Pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Lamp Update

A couple of you told me how much you liked my white lamps. However, I'm behind on blogging and already painted the base a different color. Now, I'm thinking this matches our wall color too much and I need to go darker. I'm using the 67 cent craft paint from Hobby Lobby so it's not that big of a deal to change. I've only painted one lamp so who knows I might end up going back to white :)

Website Wednesday - About.com

Our sixth year anniversary is this Saturday and I not sure what to get Ryan. I normally have to google the year to find out traditions or symbols for each year. Click HERE to read about traditional and modern gifts. Hmmm, for the number six the traditional is candy or iron and the modern is wood. I read on the site someone gave their husband a Iron Maiden t-shirt. I thought that was pretty funny but I decided the shirts were a little too scary to me and Harrison :) Back to the drawing board.

First Blooms!

Confession, I'm super stoked on our hydrangea bushes. Every morning, I look out our window to check on them. I really wasn't expecting to get blooms this year so this is a pleasant surprise. Now we're wondering what color they will turn out. 

Ryan would love a deep red/purple, any tips? Does a rusty nail in the soil work?

Baby Necessity

I've made my list of everything I need to get done before the baby comes and I have about 12 items on it.  YIKES. Something we already have is Fels-Naptha. This stuff is the secret to getting out all baby stains. I was able to save most of Harrison's baby clothes because of it.

Happy Mother's Day!

I treated my mom to a Mother's Day tea and tour of the Symphony Designer House. The pics from the nursery are part of this house.

Doesn't this sun room make you want to curl up with a book (or laptop). 

Here's another cozy room. Maybe it's all the pillows that attracts me.

Here's a shot of a kid's playroom. It's a little closet area off of the media room. They lined the walls and ceiling with cedar and the floor has astro turf. I just wanted to sit on the floor and hang out for awhile.
