Finally its done!!

After lots of thinking, shopping, and looking around, I have finally figured out what I wanted done the the guest/Kaytlin and Gracie bathroom. I am very pleased with the out come and so very glad that I am done with it! Now on to the next room.


This top picture was mainly supposed to be of the towels. I loved the colors and they ended up matching perfectly!!


This second picture is how it looks all around the top half of the bathroom. The colors really go so well together.
The third picture is the top of the toilet. I have a really cute basket that I actually got from my baby shower that I had with Kaytlin. I really like having extra wash cloths in the bathrooms and think this is a fun cute way to have them out.

And this is one of two rugs we have in there. Don't mind the ugly flooring under it. I really like the rugs they kinda have the shaggy look to them. They are all really cute! Well this is the new and very improved bathroom!!

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Here are a few pictures from the pumpkin patch today. This one Gracie is bringing me the pumpkin that she picked out. She was very proud of herself! She did just a great job, she really got the hang of picking up pumpkins (any) and putting them into the wagon we were using. It was really funny because as she was putting them in there I was taking them out. It was really hard to keep up with her. Here is Kaytlin trying to find the "perfect" pumpkin. It was really cute to watch her because she would just stand there and stare at them at pick it up and look it over then put it back on the ground because it had dirt on it. It took her a little bit to realize that they all had dirt on them and that they needed to be washed.
Gracie found this pumpkin and decided that it was the one she wanted. I was going to get it for her until I figured out that the bottom of it was rotten. So maybe next time we go we can find her, her odd ball one. She was really mad that I was not going to to let her get it. I felt really bad for her!!
Here's a pumpkin Kaytlin finally found that was little and an "okay" one. She wanted a bigger one but that one worked for a min. We still got it for her and then got her a larger one. When she gets her mind set to something that she wants its that way or no way. So it kinda took a whole to find her a pumpkin but the other kids were having a blast so it all worked out.
Here is Gracie, Ryann and Kaytlin standing in front of a line of pumpkins right before we left. At some point it time Gracie had lost a bow (which I just mad last night) so we had to walk all around the pumpkin patch and what not, still I did not find it so I went up to the people that were running it and let them know we lost a bow and left my name and number. Well then we got back in my van to leave and I got the bright idea to look in her coats hat and low and behold there it was. I thought it was really funny, but wasted a bunch of time. So next time I will look in her coat before I search everywhere else!!

Ryann at the Pumpkin Patch



This is my good friend Natalie's daughter... She is such a cutie. She is a month younger than Gracie. Yes I know she looks as old as Kaytlin does but she is still a doll. We had a lot of fun with her and her mommy. Can't wait till next year when we do it again. lol

More Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Kaytlin was being silly... she was having a lot of fun at the pumpkin patch! I think I am going to go again!! I want to get a few more pictures of my kids (Like I didn't get enough.. lol).
Gracie was really in love with the Scarecrow... she kept going up to him giving him hugs...and telling me to take her picture! She is so CUTE!!

Sportin' the new bows



Just thought I would show off how cute my girls look with their new bows that I made for them. I think they turned out really cute. Kaytlin has such a cute smile in this picture. Gracie was like no way mom it's way to early for this. But they are still both really cute. I don't really think I like the one pony-tail on the side of Gracie's head but it was something new!!

The Girls Playing in a "Fort"

Here is Gracie trying to come out of the "fort" giggling all the way through. They are so cute, they loved playing in the "fort" I will have to make it again another day.
With the weather turning cold it's kinda tricky keeping the girls entertained so this evening we decided to build a "fort" so I am not great at making them but the girls sure did have a lot of fun playing in it. Kaytlin kept on peeking around the corner saying "take my picture mom." I though this one was really cute. Everywhere that Gracie goes she has a barbie in her hand. She loves them to death. But besides that I was able to crawl in their "fort" and snap a couple pictures. This is one I got of Gracie. She has such a cute smily, and the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen.
I told Kaytlin to smile really big and pretty in this picture and she did, but she closed her eyes. She is a VERY animated little girl.

Gracie's new shirt!!



I just had to show off Gracie's new shirt that she got!! She looks so cute in it! It is kinda big on her, but she still looks very cute in it! Lately she is not very fond of getting her pictures taken so she either does not look at the camera or she plays around. Like in the picture with her pointing at her eye. She was showing me where it is. She is also getting very smart. I can not believe how fast they grow up. It makes me so sad.. She is so much like Kaytlin. I hope that they stay as close as they are now. Minus the fighting I don't think that Jake and I will be able to handle it when they become teenagers.. lol

Kaytlin



We took these pictures last weekend when it was nice outside. Our lawnmower broke go figure so my very handy husband fixed it for me.While he was doing that Kaytlin was getting a couple more hours of riding her bike in before summer was completely up. She has such a cute smile, I know it is kinda hard to tell in these pictures but she does. She is getting so big and so "wise." She amazes me everyday with the things that she is learning!!
