Since I've only been posting house pics lately...

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't shared anything but house pics in a LONG time. True. I've been a bit caught up with working on things here and have been neglecting photography. Speaking of working on things....I just painted Aidan's room and will be sharing pics after I hang stuff on his walls and take them. That is a "whole 'nuther post' though! In the mean time, here are some random pics I've take since we've lived here....


This is the first pic I got of Aidan after we moved in. I think I got a little over excited about the brighter light in the house because I think I may have overexposed his skin. It's not looking quite right.
And here is silly miss Addie making a funny smile for me....
It's me! I took this for a self portrait challenge on a board I belong to. I tried a different look to my processing. It's good to experiment!

After my self portrait, Aidan actually ASKED me to take this pic! The pose was all him!

I love it even more in B&W...And just a cute pic I got of Addie being difficult while I was trying for a photo shoot. She's getting much harder to photograph, which makes me sad. I'm hoping it's only a phase.

And a close up shot I got of one of the roses Jim got for me on Valentines Day.

More pics of our house

I've been bad about taking pics of the house. I think it's because I just can't keep a single room clean! Lord knows I try! I'm just outnumbered by these kids!

Anyway, here is our bedroom. We just got the bed this past weekend. Jim and I are seriously in love with it! We got the mattress at Costco for a great price.http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11312888&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US I was completely nervous about getting this one because they were stacked high in the store and we couldn't try it out. It got some great reviews and I'm really glad Jim was confident enough to get it based on them. It's seriously is a little piece of heaven! The bed and dresser are from Ikea.http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/11731/ I was also nervous about getting a bed that you have to put together. I've gotten plenty of other furniture from stores that require you to put it together and it's usually that cheap particle board. This is real wood and seems quite sturdy! I love the look and you can't beat the price!

So, for our room, we still have some work to do. We still need to get a duvet, hang stuff on the wall, get matching bedside tables, and get some accessories. We're also debating on changing the color. I really like the yellow/gold, but it's the same color as the family room. We're also thinking of changing out the mirrored closet doors.

Aidan got a new bed! Same deal as us, mattress from Costco and bed from Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/07468/ Again, we're very happy with this purchase! He's doing great in his big boy bed too. Who can blame him? It really is cozy!

Now all we have to do is paint, which will be pretty shortly. I just got him this cool quilt from Target. Love the colors! Here is his room now.
