{ The Girls Bedroom Re-Fresh }

Remember me? So it's been a hot minute since my last post, life has a way of well, getting in the way and little things like blogs get pushed to the wayside. We've had lots going on the last several years, our oldest son went on a mission for our church for 2 years, came home, and was married a year later! I'll post more about that later. Kids have all been growing up and moving on. I think we blinked!!

But, back to business, since we've been on the worldwide COVID lockdown we decided to do a few home projects. Here is what we did in the girl's room, it's been years since I've shown their bedroom. I think the last time I shared it they had bunk beds, we built this iron pipe bed and ladder a few years ago, our oldest daughter is graduating this year (yay class of 2020) so Addison will be moving down to the lower bed when she moves out and we will have an extra bed for friend sleepovers! 

So without further ado ~ Here is their bedroom refresh. 

 We painted our oldest daughter's bed black. I bought this YEARS ago on a scrapbook retreat up in Joseph, Oregon.

 Finally finished underneath the top bed with a little faux shiplap, and behind Brinley's bed.

 We did the magic light trick with these lights above both the girl's beds. 

These fixtures used to be on our front porch!

All the bedding is mostly from Ikea, and yes the girls do have a closet, 

it's actually an old Garment Rolling cart that used to be in my grandparent's 

old grocery store.

{ Addison's Baptism Day }

This darling girl of ours got baptized today -on her Birthday 10.31.15

It was such a special day for her. In our church we believe that

children are accountable for their choices when they turn 8 and are then baptized

on or near their birthday's. Addison is such an awesome kid. 

Here are a couple pictures from the photo shoot I did of her for her announcements.

 The Finished Baptism Announcement (yes Photoshop)

Here is her baptism program I made in Photoshop.

Just a little prep before the baptism starts.

 When your kids take your camera and take their own pics.

She's ready!

Some sisterly love.

 Welcome Table

 Addison and her dad.

 And a couple of her friends. :) 

 We set up for a luncheon for after the baptism. 

We served BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad. I think we probably served 30-40 people. 

We had Pumpkin Bars and Maple Pecan Cake for dessert. 

Did I get a picture of the finished lunch all set up Or a family picture? 

NOPE

Happy Baptism Birthday Addison,

{ Sunday Fun-days }

Addison looked so cute in her jacket with her cute hair today

at church that I was sure that she needed a 

Sunday pic to remember it by.

And Corbin is having a birthday soon so they sang to him

in Primary. The  birthday kids all get to wear goofy glasses and

have the entire primary sing a birthday song to them.
It's such a fun tradition.

{ Girl's Trip With a Side of Ledger }

 With Addison's 8th Birthday coming up we decided it was time to get her ears pierced,

So we made a trip to Tri-Cities. We went to town with Aunt Jean & Ali

and went to Claire's to get the job done. 

She was so nervous, but lived to tell the tale!

I love that my Aunt still does photo bombs. I love my Aunt Jean!

After all the shopping we went out for lunch. 

This kiddo just makes me laugh

this is how he waited for his fries.

{ Addison Turns 7! }

Of course with it being Halloween, it's also our Addison's birthday!

She is beginning to love the perks having her birthday the same day as a major holiday.
Parties at school, junk food for a good majority of the day and everyone dresses up!
Life couldn't be any better for a kid who's 7 don't ya think!

 And you can't forget to count your candy haul!
I remember doing this as a kid as well! Somethings never change..

{ Back Post- Halloween 2014 }

Halloween was low key. Addison turned 7 this past Halloween and we had our annual Trunk-Or-Treat and then came home. It was cold and rainy and we were frankly d.o.n.e.

I made Addison's Owl Wings from thrift store finds well- Wool pants, skirts, shirts & one Wool trench coat to be exact and I actually made 2 sets of wings. One for her and another for her cute little friend Lyndie. I will post a picture of her facing the camera but she has yet to put her Costume on again.

Costume in progress.....

Corbin was dying to be a Star Wars Storm Trooper so we borrowed a trooper from our friends. Thanks P & N!

 Ledger was a Pirate Owl. My awesome friend Kim made Ledger's hat as well as an owl hat for Addison. She is super amazing.... For the main part of his costume I just took 2 long sleeve onesies and layered them (the top one I cut the arms off). I then took 2 scrap sheets of felt in red and brown and cut out scallops then hot glued them together and glued them to the chest of the top onesie. The baby legs I ordered from eBay. Paired with some Pirate themed leather Robeez he was set for Halloween!

Oh how I love this little face!
