Fashionista

So Rye has really come to love looking girly. She loves picking out clothes and putting together outfits. I sometimes have to help with the matching aspect of said outfits but she's getting better. She also adores getting her picture taken too, who knew right?! Hahah! Just wanted to share a few pics over the last few days.

I was walking with her in KMart the other day and Eric said that we walk exactly the same way.  It's nice to know she gets something from me.

I can't believe how grown up she is getting.  Not too grown up, thank you Lord...she still thinks boys are gross!  Eric and I are thrilled about that one!

Owies!

Poor Jo! We were at a friends house tonight and all of a sudden I heard Jo screaming from the back room. She had been walking across a pile of clothes and slipped and banged her face into a drawer. I freaked out, naturally, but tried to keep my composure. It didn't take long for her to bounce back, I on the other hand, still feel like crying. It didn't bleed too much, kind of sealed itself up and it didn't swell up as much as I thought it was going to. I am very thankful that it wasn't as bad as it could have been and that my friends were there to keep my calm.
The question is...do I keep our appointment for family pictures on Saturday? Even with her 'semi-shiner'?

Mommy's Little Helper

Joey has been loving the broom when it's out. She's getting very into house work. She runs her little play vacuum all around the house. It's very sweet. Here she is helping me sweep the kitchen floor.

The Longo Family...*snap snap*

Our new car decal. I think it's wicked bad arse! I found it on Etsy. I love that site. It's a little off center, but hey I'm not perfect.

Mas Projects...

So I had mentioned that I had done a few other projects around the house. I've decided I'll share them on here, even though some of you have seen them via cell phone pictures.
First we have the TastySuite decals I mention in the previous post. Here is the Hello. Here is the Goodbye.
Here are the trees I put up in the playroom and the girls room. I got them from Wall Candy Arts. Actually I got them from Land of Nod but the wall candy site has way more to look at.

I painted this today. The distressed look happened completely by accident. I painted one color, than another over it and didn't like it. Tried to take the whole thing off and ended up with this and decided to go with it. I need to go over the smaller lettering again, make it a little more uniform. It's not great but it turned out okay. I may get the vinyl decal that inspired it next time.
You all remember my big picture of Eric I got last year while he was deployed. You may not have know that it was printed on a contact paper like sheet. I cut out Eric and put him on a piece of cardboard. Made him a bit sturdier. Doodled around him. I figured we needed to get him out again as Eric will be here and gone alot over the next few months before he goes for good. As you can see Jo already likes it.

These are some saying I put over our closets upstairs. I love that we have his and hers closets...so I had to do ours.

Some picture I took today while unpacking some of the girls figurines. Here's Jo trying to climb out of the crib. Luckily she only does this once I'm in there.

This is a picture I found last night while switching out picture frames. If I didn't know this was Rye, I wouldn't have known it was her....I'm not sure if that makes sense...but it does to me. I forgot how wavy her hair used to be. Straight as a pin now...

My first project

Okay, there are a few things that need to be done in the house (i.e., hanging stuff on the walls, buying curtains for the living room, getting a new computer desk) and I've just completed my first project. I actually painted a wall and everything. In all the years we've been married I've never painted. I figured, now is as good a time as any. And it gave me something to work on while Eric was gone. So I painted our hallway wall a blue. Since I am using it for a family picture wall I decided to paint a tree on there. You know family tree...here are a few pictures of how it turned out.

Actually, I guess it's my second project. I ordered these really cute Hello. and Goodbye. decals from Etsy and I put them on my front door. I love them. I'll have to take some pics and post them. If anyone cares....hehe. I am big into these wall decals. I put up this really cute tree in the playroom in the garage and one in the girls room. I'll take more pictures soon. For those who remember the 29 Palms house, it's pretty much the same type of layout. I really like the new house. I'm not sure why but I feel more at home here than I did the other place.
Anyway, I am off to bed. Love to you all.

Pictures de Jojo...

Just a bunch of pictures I took of Jojo today. I loved the outfit I had her in.

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis...
Hanging out up in her room. She likes to crawl up the stairs when I'm otherwise occupied (our gate got broken and I haven't been able to get a new one yet) and then I have to sit up in her room while she runs around and opens dresser drawers.
How cute is she?!
Cheesy...perfect!

Starting to get irritated at me and the camera...
I'm all done Mommy...
These are some pictures from the other night. She and Ryelie have some fun chasing each other around most nights. They're pretty funny together. I love her face in the first one.

Das Family

I know the wedding was ages ago, but Michelle was nice enough to email me a copy of the picture. I can't wait to print it out and put it up.
