Our house is becoming a home!

Well, I forgot to mention what has been taking up so much of our time...Greg and I have been doing lots and lots of furniture shopping. I thought we'd just about kill each other trying to decide on what style of furniture to buy. Finally, we made serious compromises! Isn't that the way it always is? ha ha

We got new furniture for our den, kitchen, dining room, and Leia's bedroom. Here's some photos:


Finally after 24 years of marriage I have a Dining Room Hutch! Yep Hee! Can't see the new table and chairs in this photo...but this is were we made the compromise...he wanted these huge side chairs and I wanted rod iron...so we got both and I got to pick the table...he got to pick the hutch. And believe it or not it all looks really good together!




Leia has a new bed, mattress, dresser, night stand, desk and bedding set...PINK and LIME GREEN...sounds YUMMY! She's been after us for weeks now to paint...one of these days we'll get to it!


Here's our new High table and chairs that's in the kitchen. I love the top of this table...it has a marble lazy susan in it.

See it here...Lazy Susan...so like who came up with that name anyway?

Here's the den: Entertainment center and big screen TV!

Roll Top Computer desk...to keep Lily out of!

My scrapbooking room! Greg found these wonderful black book cases to hold all my many many scrapbooking papers!

Other side of the room...gonna be my Office for Premier Jewelry!

So finally our house is coming together...all but the paint...need to paint the dining room, living room, den and kitchen...but what color? There's just too many choices! UGH!

Wow! It's time to catch up!

So what has the Boyd Brood been doing all summer? Not much really...it's been totally boring lately. The kids and I went to the Tomah pool alot. That is until all the rain came and the air turned a little cooler. This gal has to have 80 degree weather or warmer to get in that cold butt water!

Greg's mom and dad came for a visit. They stayed with the kids while Greg and I went to Dallas for the trip that I won for Premier Designs Jewelry. It was fun but long! We got up each morning at 6am and didn't get back to our room until 11pm! Needless to say we were dead dawg tired when we came home!

Greg's dad, also known as Poppi, bought the kids this cool pocket motorcycle. And looks who's having the most fun on it!

Looks like a big gorilla ridin' on that thing! ha ha

He's such the HOT ROD...isn't he? haha

Both boy's had their birthday while Mamaw and Poppi were here. Seth is now 11 and Beren 13! Beren's showing off his strength! They're so cute!

Tess just been hanging around... thinks she's a monkey! Wish I had that kind of energy!

Leia's been working on her culinary skills...she made both the boy's B'day cakes...it was totally yummy!

Lily's learned to conquer the slide in our backyard and the one at the Pool...it's a Polar Bear slide and I've deemed her Queen of it...wish I had a picture to share but don't.

and me...well all I seem to do is laundry and clean up the house! So much fun don't ya think? Mom's have all the fun!
