April's Little Things

 

April was a quick month with a lot going on. A few of the highlights included General Conference, Spring Break, celebrating Easter, and trying to get everything ready for baby sisters arrival.

 

Trying to keep the kids entertained while watching conference.

We enjoyed our first of many days spent at Lagoon for the season. 

 

 

We weren't sure what to expect in our new yard when Spring rolled around, but we have been pleasantly surprised by the pretty trees that we have.

 

 

Jason has spent endless hours in the yard trying to get the garden and flowerbeds ready for planting.

With all that work has come many trips to the landfill.

 

 

 Kyler has gotten to go on a couple of different fieldtrips during the month. They have been to Mt. Crest for a farm field day, American Heritage West Center, and they did a service project and planted trees for Arbor Day.

 

Khloe was pretty excited that she got to come with me on a preschool field trip to the farm. 

 The boys enjoyed that last weekend of what ended up being an epic ski season.





Having fun at grandma Shirley's Easter egg hunt.

Thursday's while I teach preschool. 

 

Speaking of Khloe, she can be the sweetest little girl one minute and then the next moment she can give you a look that kills. 

 

I was able to take some fun Easter pictures of these cute kiddos.

The temple grounds this time of year are spectacular. 

A Friday night date night to Peach City and Icecream.



 

 

My weekly doctor's appointment and listening to baby girl's heartbeat.

 

And finally, using every spare minute to finish up the nursery.  

 

 

 

Can't wait to see the exciting things that

May will bring!!!!  

 

 

Home Projects: Before & After

When we moved into our new home we knew that it would take some work to put our personal touch on it.

(It was pretty much a clean slate, just very plain and boring.)

 

The Winter months always seem like a good time to take on home projects since there isn't much else going on.

I also figured that I would have more time, and probably energy to get things done before the baby came than after.

Here is a look at what we have been working on the past 3 months.

 

 Living Room Before:

Living Room After:

*Painted the ceiling white.

*Painted the walls Repose Grey by Sherwin Williams.

*Put up a shiplap accent wall.

*Decorated and bought some new furniture.



 

 

I'm loving how it turned out, but we still have a few things we want to do to the room to have it completely finished.

(Put in wood floors instead of the carpet and add a fun light fixture.)

 

 

 Master Bedroom Before: 

 This picture was taken before we bought the house and they were still replacing the flooring, the reason for the toilet being in the middle of the floor.

Master Bedroom After:

 

* Painted the ceiling white.

*Painted the walls Repose Grey by Sherwin Williams

(my favorite grey)

*Added board and batton

Khloe's Bedroom Before:

Khloe's Bedroom After:

*Painted ceiling white

(seriously who paints the ceiling and the walls the same color? White ceilings make the space so much bigger and brighter!!!)

*Painted the walls purple.

*Painted stripes as an accent wall.

*Added some book shelves (IKEA) and put out some books from my childhood.

*Refinished my toy kitchen that I had has a little girl.

*Refinished Khloe's big girl bed and bought her new bedding. 

Main Bathroom Before:

Main Bathroom After:

*Painted the ceiling white.

*Refinished the vanity, painted white and added handles.

*Added board and batton to one wall and put up towel hooks.

*Added some industrial style shelving. 

 

We are slowly making our new house feel like a HOME. 

 I still have a list a mile long of things that I want to do, but as my mom keeps reminding me I have years to get it the way I want.

 

However, if I don't soon go into labor

(my due date is in a week)

maybe if I decide to start a new projects she will decide to come!!!!
