Tahoe!!!

I'm so excited to be back in 105 degrees after leaving a miserable high of 75 every day!!!(thick sarcasm)

And we're off again!

Leaving in the morning for Ta-hoe!!! So ready! it's been so stinkin' hot, too! So, see y'all in a week or so!
And... some pictures of what we've been up to: yes, I've been up to getting larger by the second, but I'm lovin' it! This pregnancy has flown by - I can't believe I'm almost 30 weeks - with only 10 left!!! So exciting! Max is keeping us all on our toes and it's never a dull moment with my child around - I'm loving his little (or should I say huge) personality that keeps me laughing everyday! He goes to gymnastics twice a week and I take a Pilates class 3 times a week - so we're both staying very active! And here's some more pictures of the house as it's coming along. I'm in love with this house and we're working on the backyard now - it's all coming together and I know we'll be here for a very long time. Now, if only we could get the other house taken care of...



Curious George!

bleck...

So, I've just spent the last 2 days in bed being on the verge of puking or passing out...yuck. But, it made me realize that I've had a great pregnancy and have packed up my old house, moved, unpacked painted and decorated the new house, chased around the craziest toddler I know, continued my business doing weddings every single weekend - without batting an eye. Some women feel like they're going to hurl or faint their whole pregnancy, so I'm pretty lucky and I realize that. We just poured concrete in the back yard and it's so exciting for that part of our new house to be coming together! and even more exciting is that on Saturday we're headed out to Tahoe (to do makeup for a wedding first - then) for a weeklong family vacation! My folks and James and Max and I will spend a week in Tahoe together for the first time since we lost my family's cabin 3 years ago! I'm SO excited! So, I'll post pictures soon, but just wanted to give y'all an update!

Renter needed!

Sad, sad news - our renter just fell through - a week before she was supposed to move in! aaah! so, anyways, if anyone knows anyone - we need to get someone in this house!!! 6 months of 2 house payments - Lord help us! Well, He is, actually. But keep us in your prayers!

Back in Business!

We're baaack!!! Melissa let me borrow her camera (thank you so much!!!) and I just bought one today, so...yahoooo!!! and boy, oh boy - do i have lots to show you! Since I got back from WA, I've finished painting the Baby's room, the family room, hung a million pictures, made an IKEA trip and my Dad and James put tons of furniture together, finished putting Max's room together, added the finishing touches to the kids bathroom, got my office furnished and the formal living room and dining room put together!!!! phew! and then did a wedding in Napa on Sat. for 13 people!!! I'm Soooo tired! But SO happy about my house! Here's pics from the living room/family room - I'll post the other rooms soon! Oh, and if anyone's interested or knows of anyone who needs a riding lawnmower, a hot tub, a sleep number bed, a new dryer - let me know!!! We're trying to sell it all on craig's list before our renter!!!!

Mee-mo Bathroom

Max's favorite fish, Nemo,(Mee-mo is his name in our house) has been chosen to cover the kids' bathroom and I love how it turned out! It's so fun and bright and Max is obsessed with the bubbles! If you come over to our house, he'll run upstairs and show you all the bubbles on the wall and try to pop them. It was hard to get a good angle, but you get the idea. Bubbles by Leslie of course!

Buckaroo's Room

Max LOVES his cowboy room - every morning he wakes up, he says - "Mama, rope! nice! How-wee" That's how he says Howdy - which will probably be the first word he spells now! It's so great seeing it all put together, because it's exactly what I've had in my mind for years!!! It's a dream come true!

Introducing....MiaBella's Bedroom!

Yes, we've decided on a name for the princess...well, actually I decided when I was 13, when I nannied a little girl with that name and fell in love with it! It means "My Beautiful One" in Italian, and in Hebrew "Mia" means "wished for" - and is she ever!!! So, all we need to do is set up the crib and it's ready for her!!! Isn't the wall painting amazing!?!? Leslie - who I've dubbed my "Art Angel" has dedicated hours of her talent and heart to me this last week (and years before that!) to finish these projects in my house and lend her phenomenal abilities to me and I couldn't be more grateful! well, I couldn't have done it without her, that's for sure! Thank you Lesloooo!!!!







7 month belly! She's smelling the paint

Our suite!

This was actually the first thing done, since we painted it first. I bought the comforter and did my room based on that. My bathroom has that spa feeling and I heart our walk-in closet! I've always done reds and golds, so the blue and brown theme was a total change for me and i love it!
