Wordless Wednesday

just for fun...

My favorite part of the Academy Awards.

John Hughes was an awesome guy who made some of my very favorite movies.
This tribute was great. It left out a few that I loved but, it had me *sighing* through the whole thing.

{It stops about 5:57 I just couldn't find a clip that short}

What were your favorite movies growing up? Any of them on the tribute?

It's a gorgeous day again today so we are off to play.
Happy Monday Lovies.

Just a day at the Park

The weather here was so pretty today.
Sunny and 62. 

It *almost* had me thinking spring might be on it's way in.

Until hubby mentioned it was supposed to rain all this week. 

Boo, so we made the most of today and went and played outside.
This was Jackson's first time playing and walking at a park. It was so fun!
Makes me look forward to all the new adventures we will get to have. 

Here is what the day looked liked.

Ha! He wasn't in love with the baby swing.

Yet, the cool big swing was a tad big.

Music toys.

He loves to slide.

Not sure why I am rocking the Jersey Shore bump here.

My new favorite picture.

Hi

Walking boy.

He didn't love the dry grass. Check out that face.

What an awesome day!

Are you as ready as we are for spring? 

I can't wait. 

Model Man {picture overload}

Jackson had the chance to model some super cute bibs for Miss Jennifer over at TiniBibs.

You can check her out HERE.

For us letting her photograph Bub's she gave us copies of the pics and I have been excited to share them. She was great with Jackson and we had a blast. 

Thanks Jennifer.

It won't be the last time we see you!

This is one of her precious bibs.

Love this look

He was asking for bubbles

Here are some shots I took from the day...

This is Miss Jennifer.

Umm gorgeous! 

Had to share this one. Jackson was dancing for her. 

I love it!

Thanks Again Jennifer!

You got some amazing shot of our precious man.

Shamrockin' Fun

Nanny Pam gave this step by step on her blog the other day. 

With one of the shadow boxes I got yesterday I made one today in 10 min. 

Now thats an easy seasonal craft that takes just a second and will make you smile.

Check out her blog for the details. We are going to switch it up each month. Wait till you see the punch out we got for next month...

The Folder and The Goodwill trip

The Folder, do you have one?

The one that is full of magazine pages ripped out of Pottery Barn 

and other random magazines that you love? 

You know the one that you will use when you build your dream home or tweek the one your in now?

Mine is full. 

I am finding inspiration lately on blogs, tv shows, families homes. 

With just a tiny budget from the money we got back, like almost none. Ha!
We are going to take a few ideas and go for them. More sweat equity type stuff but, I'm excited.

So on a trip with 

{bestie/nanny/seriously sometimes we think just alike and it's scary} 

Pam, to our favorite hangout Micheals. 

{umm yes to 40% off coupons for everything}

For yet more shadow boxes because we are determined to be the old women with 

a ziggabillion in their houses so they looks like a museum. 

We decided since I had some thing to donate and we were out we should go load up on other peoples junk look around at a few Goodwill and thrift stores. Now, I admit. I come by my thrift store ways honestly. Mom, taught me my love of thrift stores young and it has stuck. I love other peoples junk vintage, classic things. Not to mention some of the fun design blogs have gotten our minds turning, looking for great before and afters.

We found some all right.

I didn't get pictures of the gorgeous milk glass lamp, flowers for a fun project, or kicking green kitten heels Pam got but, hopefully she will blog about her goodies too.

Here is what I came home with.

I am having a thing for owls lately. 

No worries, they are getting spray painted. 

The ship I love and have something in mind for.

New table center piece. Paint to come and filled with corks?

Wait for it. This I just LOVED the second I saw it...

{eeepp!}

Do you see the awesomeness just waiting to come out?

Granted it needs a good cleaning and sanding. 

How cool is this! It used to be a bar. 

I am thinking it will hold up our tv in the living room in this house.

Who knows where it will end up in the end but, I lurve it!

So check this out...

Ra, wait you did not pay $129.95 for this table right? 

Haha, nope try a cool $25. 

It was on sale for $50 and he came down half.

I am so excited. Hubby isn't sure yet but, he will be.

I will post a bf/after so you can see it in all it's glory when it is finished.

I may have spent $30 total for the goods. Happy Momma.

What a fun day. Love you Nanny.

Wa Wa Walking

Woo HOo! 

That's right ladies and gents...

We have a bonafied walking boy on our hands.

He is scooting rarely these days. Has started crawling just a little.

BUT!

1st choice is always walking these days.

We are thrilled beyond belief.

Here is where we started at 12 months and I quote...

"Jackson is a beautiful 12-month-old male child, who presents with primary gross-motor delay, hypotonia and generalized muscle weakness. Specifically, he functions at the 2nd percentile in locomotion skills and the 9th percentile in his balance and stationary skills. 

He is an excellent candidate for physical therapy intervention."

{Those percentiles are out of 100. I was shocked}

This was also stated on the six page rundown we got after our initial meeting.

"Significant delay in rolling skills. Child does not pull up to stand, creep, raise arms above parallel, or walk. Child dislikes stepping without maximum assistance and tends to sink when weight is placed on lower extremities."

and today I give you Jackson at 20 months...

{sorry for the poop quality. My flip isn't uploading anymore for some reason}
