The things I do for my child!

(Me the day I was induced to have Riley. 38 weeks and 3 days)


Even though she misbehaves, talks back and pees on my bathroom floor at least every other day. I spend hours looking up dinosaur cakes, invitations, party supplies and use a flash light to make her toys bigger to draw onto the cardboard boxes from our new tub and shower walls. I sure must really love her to put this much time and effort into her birthday parties! So she never better say I do NOT!

I finished her invitations the other day with the help of my sister Jennifer. She helped me get the dinosaur I traced from the computer to scan in the right spot on paper so we could get the wording in and then made copies from that. I then took the time to color in the party blower in the dinosaurs mouth on each of the cards because I wasn't smart enough to do it on the one I copied!

I have them all cut out, addressed and stuffed in the envelops and Riley put a dino sticker on each one just in the right spot! I'm pretty proud of these ones because it too a lot of time and I think they are just SUPER cute!


I other news we got the new tub and shower walls put in today. Looks nice but we have some drywall work to do which is a lot more then we thought because the walls were pretty bad. Zach said he figured as much and that's why we hired someone to do it he planned on doing the drywall himself when it was just and inch or too but's more like 6 so I don't see that happening. The guy that installed it, which is my friends boyfriend who owns his own company. Gave us a name of a guy he knows for the drywall work. Zach called but no answer and we want it done soon because we are afraid of getting the walls wet. So Zach called his Uncle and he is coming over on Saturday to help Zach do the drywall.

I can't wait to get it all done! The next step is hopefully finding a mirror I like and that isn't too much. We only have so much in our budget for home improvement's and I'd like to replace the mirror and towel bars when we go to paint so I'm going to have to look for some good deals!

Next will be either the lighting, sink, toilet and floor. I like the flooring that's in there but some one that keeps peeing on my floor is making the tiles move because it gets so wet. So we are going to have to replace that I'm thinking when we do the toilet to make it easier on me.

When you own a house there is always something that needs to be done! There is a lot to do and we have done a lot in the past year we have been here! We both talk about how we would love to have the house painted because it would just look so awesome and be a huge improvement. I want to paint it a blue I haven't figured out the trim and the door color yet.

But inless we when the lotto it's going to take a long time to get everything updated.
