Bubbles

 

Maddie got a bubbe blower for her birthday (I know, I know, I still haven't blogged her birthday...) and it's in the top 10 of her favorite toys.  Thanks Carl & Donna!  :)



After all of the bubbles ran out, she decided she wanted to go outside and take a ride on her new bike!  Thank you Papa & Mums!  :)

Maddie's Ramblings

Maddie has quite the vocabulary nowadays.   Thanks to television, books, and my mom.  Especially my mom.  Here are her latest phrases:

"I can't!  I'm busy."

"You bein a jerk!"

"Idiot..."

(thank you spongebob)

"You stoopid!"

(thank you MOM)

"I not baby, I girl!"

"I not girl, I Maddison!"

and my favorite:

"Don't see my bum!"

(even though she runs around naked about 5 times a day)

30 Day Truth Challenge {Day 9}

 Day 9 Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted. Oh how I didn't want this day to come.  A couple of years ago, I met this guy.  It was so random.  I was on a family photo shoot up at Snow Basin and this guy just came out of nowhere and he was so funny and charming and ended up being our 'tour guide' for the day.  After the family I was photographing left, we stayed in the parking lot for 2 HOURS just talking.  We ended up dating for about 4 months.  I can honestly say I've only ever been in love once (like REAL love, not like in junior high when you start dating after he passes you a note in class and then break up after two weeks.  And lets face it, you never actually went out on a date with the guy.)  But I was in love with this guy.  We were both in positions in our lives where things were...well, complicated.  We just slowly began drifting apart and we weren't happy anymore (I know...only 4 months..it's kind of depressing).  Then one night we got into an argument and I just left.  I walked out and that was it.  I still regret it to this day because I think "what would life be like now if I stayed and we tried to fix things?"  I guess I'll never know.

Settling In

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted....


We're still trying to settle in (I know it's already been a month).  The only room that looks as if anyone lives in it is Maddie's room. There's a lot of little DIY projects I've got planned, but so far her's is the only one with furniture! lol  

This her new bed...I plan on sanding it and painting it white.  Can you believe we found this at the DI for $20?!

I found this vanity at the DI a few months ago for about $20.  I just want to paint over the flowers and clean the mirror.  I'm also fixing up the drawer that goes in the front.  I'm putting a new nob on it as well as some floral paper on the inside.

The only 'finished' part of her room is her dresser!  lol   Thanks to my sister-in-law for the adorable wall art!  She also made a name board with knobs!  I'll have to take some photos of it later  :)  A lot of the knick-knacks on her dresser used to be mine when I was a little girl!  Now I just need to get some photos in those empty frames!  ;)

I just have a bed and a nightstand in my room...nothing special and kind of empty.  I'm still looking for a couch or dining set, so if you know of anyone looking to get rid of theirs, let me know!!


I'll post more pictures as we start to 'unpack' more  :)  I am loving our new home!
