Sneak Peak..

Here is a sneak peak of our next project we are working on!

The Dresser

So forever ago I posted and said I would show ya'll what our new dresser looked like and bedding. So here it is in the beginning....

Its a normal 4 drawer dresser but all the fake looking wood just was not working for me.

So on a sunday afternoon I had tyler haul it to the garage and I sanded it off. It was very easy and only took me maybe 45 minutes.

Yup had to get a picture of me doing it so that you all wouldn't think i was lying!

We managed to even put 1 coat of paint on it.

The next day it snowed 11 inches so I skipped out on work and threw a 2nd coat on and lined the drawers with wrapper paper.

Lining the drawers was 1 of the best ideas i've ever found online! So there is my white dresser looking all pretty with the black and white drawers but that wasn't enough for me. So Tyler painted this on the front....

I just LOVE it!!

Here is another thing we did that weekend spray painted a old rotary phone my favorite color.

Better late than never!

So here it is...only 7 weeks late! The "BIG Reveal" of the 1st Annual Peterson/Rathbun/King/Bacon/Abell/Gennett Ugly Sweater Contest!

I'm already on the hunt for this years sweater! :)

PS: Watch your back Uncle Scott, Tyler is out to beat you this year!

Busy Weekend

This past weekend we ventured off to KC! One of the bands Tyler likes was playing in Lawrence at The Bottleneck bar so we got to watch the Old 97s play. They are pretty good I even listen to them!! The bar was little and we were able to get on some bleacher time seating so we were able to see everything.

Here is a video of them playing...

I had alot of fun people watching. There was these 2 guys that looked like they were together but the guy in front was dancing with a girl but the guy right behind him was so close looked like he was smelling his hair! I couldn't figure them out then of course there were some way to drunk people fist pumping...oh i swear he was about to hit this girl his arm was out of control!

After the concert was over we went to stay at the awesome "Bacon Hotel" in Bonner Springs. Big thanks to Uncle Shane and Aunt Beth for letting us crash there for the night. Sat we got to watch Reese play basketball and even WIN! Then watched Kennedy play indoor soccer...never seen anything like it! I have to give her a lot of credit because there is no way i'd run up and down a field chasing after a ball and knocking girls down! Wait now that sounds like high school basketball career...

We did of course stop at a few shops while we were up there and made it back by 5 just in time for a quick work out and watching some basketball. You know the basketball game where the Hawks WHOOPED the Wildcats! HA!

This weekend I brought myself a early birthday present a new comforter and bunch of pillows! We are working on another project for our bedroom so i'll be sure to post soon and show you all that we managed to do in just a few days!

How to be...

Your husband's best friend.

Its a book I got from my Aunt Jan & her family as a wedding gift, tyler got how to be a wife's best friend! Well I happened to open it up tonight to read "139: Have an extra set of keys made for your house or car and hide them where they will be available the next time he is locked out"

What's SO funny about that is that Tyler has locked himself out of our house at least 3 times!!

The last time it happened it was in December and 20 degrees outside! I was still 40 minutes away when I got the call that he did it again. So as soon as I got home I went down to True Valve and got 3 keys! Yeah THREE, they were on sale so I figured I'd better stock up who knows when he'll lose one.

So tonight as I'm reading #139 out loud he starts laughing.....why? Well because the keys are hidden but not outside!!!

I'll be the one laughing next time he locks himself and he'll be hearing a "I told you so!"

I had a dream...

I had a dream that I was cleaning and organizing some random ladies house! Yup a dream about cleaning, pretty sure that has never happened to me but thankfully it fueled me to get things done on Sunday.

Cleaning was pretty easy because living in such a small place there really isn't to much to clean. But i still think there is alot that can be given away!

We did manage to get rid of the horrible smell under the sink. And i mean HORRIBLE!! I gagged and about threw up every time i went near the sink! Tyler said he can handle the smell and it wasn't that bad so he got the job of cleaning everything out under there and fixing the leak. I'm extremely thankful he did because i couldn't handle the smell much longer, I smell anything and all random things my nose is like a dog's nose!!

BONUS! Since he can handle horrible smells I told him that'll be great when we have kids with nasty diapers! HA

We also got a binder while we were out to organize all of the print outs/magazine recipes that we find. Then we separated it out so its our own cookbook!

Hope my posts inspires ya'll to clean something out and organize! Even if it is just the freezer you'll feel much better i know i sure do!
