New Vanity (Christmas is below) :)

BEFORE!
AFTER
So I got this idea from my friend Mandi at www.vintagerevivals.blogspot.com. The directions are on her website. You need tinfoil, modge podge, steel paint, and Ralph Lauren black silk paint. I couldn't find the steel paint so I used a pewter paint. I LOVE how it turned out. It's kind of different, but defiantly makes my bathroom pop! The pictures don't really do it justice but I had to get them on here! It was quite the process but worth it in the end!! THANKS MANDI for the idea!! Love your guts ;)

Merry Merry Merry Christmas!

Playing with Grams! Visiting Grandpa Nelson!
The family! 2 hours worth of present opening!!
Bryson seeing what Santa brought! He was a very good boy!

We had a wonderful Christmas! It was Bryson's 1st and he loved it! He wasn't to excited to open presents but he sure loved his toys. We were at my parents for Christmas and it was great to have all of us home! I really had the greatest Christmas! Thanks Bruce for making it so great! Here are some pics of our fabulous Christmas!

Bryson's Surgery

After the surgery. They had to put the IV in his head!
Getting ready! He is one happy camper!
Bryson's surgery went so great! He had what is called a hypospadias repair. I'm so grateful that prayers are answered and that he is nice and healthy. Dr. Cope (surgeon) and Dr. Lynn (anistheologist spelling?) did a great job! We love our doctors!

Happy Halloween!

Carving pumpkins!

Go Patriots! Bruce's favorite pumpkin he carved!

My ever so sexy Edward!

Jacob and Bella

The Trio

For Halloween this year we thought we would dress up as Twilight characters. There is kind of a joke behind that too. When I was pregnant with Bryson, I used this lotion that had sparkles in it. When I went to the Dr. he was putting the jelly on my belly to listen to the heartbeat and he looked really close and said "You have sparkles on your belly. Are you a vampire?" with a wink. Then when Bryson was born they laid him on my chest/belly and he got the sparkles on him. So of course my Dr. said he was right, we are vampires. Way funny! So it is only fitting that we were Edward, Bella, and Jacob for Halloween!

This is why I love being a MOM!

Kids with cell phones just get younger and younger....
How I find Bryson every morning!
