Spray paint obsession

Deke and I have a new obsession - spray paint. Its amazing how much easy and faster projects are with a spray can! Here is one of our latest projects - yes we did it together. After all, the couple that crafts together stays together :) 

Deke found this piano and although its cute it really lacked spunk. 

So we taped it up.... 

Spray painted it turquoise... 

And added plexiglass to the top so the kids can see the keys jump.

We're really happy with our results and I think it got the spunk I was looking for. 

baseball, party, car show... what a day!

Today was Tyler's last baseball game of 2011! Luckily we got beautiful weather which was a concern considering this season was full of rain, cold, hail, and SNOW! Spring sports are so unpredictable when it comes to the forecast! After the last game the team headed over to Cameron Park Lake for the end of season party. They had pizza, cupcakes, and received a cute little trophy for all their hard work. Then they all headed to the swimming hole to play for the remainder of the time. 

 I LOVE this one of Tyler. I might need to frame it! 

Partyyyyy time! 

 Here is Tyler receiving his trophy from his coach

 YAY Yankee's! 

Time to swim and build sand castles! 

 Before the game we went to visit Deke at a local car show. The fire departments always attend the community events. We were able to walk around and have lunch together :)

 Deke looks exactly the same in both pictures. I thought that was funny. 

From am to pm this has been an eventful day! I can't wait to just curl up on the couch and relax! 

2011 Opening Day - GO YANKEES!!!

Yesterday was our baseball leagues opening day - it's our kick off party for the season! They had bounce houses, rock climbing wall, FOOD, music, a parade, and a raffle. I of course forgot my camera so please excuse the horrible picture quality from my camera phone. 

The team and coaches! 

 Climb baby climb! 

 We were lucky enough to win TWO of the raffle baskets! Both were "Family movie night" baskets. So fun! 

 After opening day we went to my sisters house to get our baby fix. Here is Deke meeting his new niece for the first time ♥

A quarter of a century old!

On March 4th my hubby Deke turned 25 years old! He loves to make fun of the fact that I am older than him and the first thing he says to me on his birthday is, "I'm finally to the age you were when we met!". G-thanks babe! 

Tyler was at his dads house this weekend so we decided to throw Deke a tiny little surprise party for the 3 of us on Thursday night when Deke returned home from school... 

Here is our mini-surprise party ♥

I know that looks like a red blob but it is indeed a heart on his cake.

When I asked Tyler what he wanted to get Deke for his birthday he immediately said a Barbie. Apparently they think its funny to make fun of each other for "liking" girl things. So I took him to the dollar store and he picked out a fairy doll and a princess card. He then went over to the balloons and grabbed the first pink one he saw. I told him that it was a baby shower balloon and read "its a girl" on it... his response: "PERFECT!" LOL when Deke opened his girly present he declared war on Tyler and told him to just wait for his birthday! 

Here is the cake I made for his family party 

The awful thing about Deke having his birthday in March is that he will always have a nasty mustache for that entire month. Its a Cal Fire ritual to grow mustaches that month! Yuck!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART! I'm glad your brain has finally fully developed! ;D 

Deke gets what he wants.

Last week Deke said he wanted to get a little tree for our room so he could put my gifts under it. I told him that we didn't have enough space for a tree in our room and I really didn't want to spend the money (trees are expensive!). Well, that didn't stop him from getting what he wanted. He ended up making this cute little tree out of foam paper and started putting my presents under it. He is so dang crafty. :0)

THE MAN BLOG

Did you know that my cute husband has a cute blog too? He started it when we started dating but didn't do much with it...until now! He's becoming quite the little blogger! Late last night I asked if he was coming to bed, his response: "Yeah in a minute, I wanna blog first". Ok, I think its really cute. He calls it his "MAN BLOG". He wants it to be about man projects, parenting lessons, and well... just MAN stuff. Are you intrigued yet? Check it out HERE and become a follower!

Fun with photoshop...

MY ALL AMERICAN HERO

Deke's Graduation From The Fire Academy!

FINALLY!!!!

So cute in his turn-outs I ♥ MY FIREMAN
I'm not sure what Deke's doing here but I'm going to pretend he's serenading me. Awww how romantical ;)

Getting his sweet badge

He's so much taller than everyone else, I love it.

They did several demonstrations after the ceremony, it was pretty cool.

I LOVE THIS MAN!
