Master Bathroom

It is really hard to take pictures of this space! Ryan designed the vanity for the bathroom and we had a cabinet maker build it. Thanks for the referral Kimberly! It is really nice to have two sinks :)

In our laundry room I made the bulletin board above...it's a fun place to put pictures/invitations/meals for the week, etc.!

More updates

Last week we dropped our swivel chairs off to be recovered in this paisley fabric...should be fun!

This picture is really hard to tell but we are having a couch recovered in this Sunbrella fabric from Calico Corners. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

This weekend Ryan trimmed out the side door and built a wood step, perfect for my planter. Now we just need the weather to warm up so I can get to planting.

This is our new installed vent a hood...it is stainless not white. I've just got to pull the protective covering off. Hopefully soon we will decide on a tile back splash.

House Update--Multiple posts

I think I agree with Chase...we had a lot of books!

Sorry I've been away from the blog for so long...we've had a lot going on! Right before Christmas Ryan finished our bookcases in the living room. Mine is above and his is in the picture below...I still need two pictures for his bookcases. The yellow hard hat is signed by Lance Armstrong, it was given to Ryan and his team after completing the Lance Armstrong Foundation building in Austin.

Christmas and Basketball

Okay so these pictures are totally out of sync.....
Mallory is officially playing Varsity Basketball for Boerne Champion Chargers. Yesterday was her game and I had nervous stomach all day! Glad it was her playing and not me :) so proud of her! Next game Friday night....

Over New Year's we were in Fort Worth visiting family. While we were there we went out to the Jones Ranch and did a little sight seeing/hunting. It was very cold and I did not pack the appropriate gear, thankfully Ryan's Granddad Leon lent me a pair of coveralls. Watch out Sarah Palin! While in the stand we saw a beautiful owl, looked just like the one from Harry Potter....

Ryan and I had a wonderful Christmas. We were able to celebrate with almost all of our family. We had 17 people at our home on Christmas day and it was great to be able to visit with everyone.

Picture above is after the game last night...

Weekend update

Friday Ryan picked up our master bathroom vanity from the cabinet maker. It turned out beautiful! It is fun to see a design Ryan has created come to life. Hopefully we will make a deal on the countertop and the bathroom will be close to being finished this week.

I think all Chase wants to do is sleep, go on walks and play catch...then again mostly sleep...

This weekend Ryan built our bookcases in the living room and kitchen. We can't wait to get all our books out of the boxes! Sorry for the poor quality photos, they were taken with my cell phone.

Weekend update

Mallory had a game Friday night against Smithson Valley. She won by 20+ points, shot two 3s and had a few other points. I need to keep the total but I can't remember :). There is just nothing like a "nothing but net" 3 pointer....GO CHARGERS!

Saturday Ryan took a little break to play with Chase in the front yard and got a tiger by the tail....

Our "BIG" Christmas tree. We went and picked out our tree last week and finished up the decorating this weekend. This tree makes my 31st real tree. I love the smell and look of a real tree...

While I was at Mal's game Friday Ryan was working on the house. He installed the tv in our master bedroom. Heaven, it is pure heaven! Also he got our new living room TV mounted on the wall, it is awesome! In this picture he is painting the support beams in the living room. Good thing the electrician has let us borrow his ladder...

Sunday we worked on the bookcases for both Ryan and my books. I can't wait to see all my books and cookbooks again. I might just stand and look at all them, ha! Ryan made all the shelves and I got them primed. Now all they need is a coat of paint and they will be ready to go in.

Christmas Decor

Last night we started decorating for the holidays and Chase got extra tired. He was snoring so loud!

Picture above is of our side porch, the door Ryan and I use most of the time. I love my twinkling Santa, have had it forever!

Here is a picture of our front porch. I've got to get battery lights for the wreath but you get the idea... :)
