The big 2-5

Last week we celebrated my 25th birthday. It was the first time I didn't go home and celebrate with my Family... Instead they all came up and spent a couple days In Cedar with us! My parents came up on Sunday then my Brother and his family came up Monday. We had a lot of fun having the family at our place for once! It's fun to play host and.... well not travel!! Thanks you guys for coming up it meant a lot to me!!!

Just a few photos of the day. Jeff and I at dinner and then the whole clan at Pizza Factory! I think this is an all time favorite in Cedar, but really we don't have much to choose from!!

House Happenin's

So with some of the money we got for Christas I REALLY wanted a mantel for our fireplace. I have never had a fireplace and while decorating for Christmas I thought it would be so much fun to have one... Well my friends I now have one to decorate to my hearts content. This is what our firepalce looked like before:

Here is the Mr filling holes and prepping to put the mantel up...
Ok so I'm not going to lie putting this thing up was not as easy as we thought it would be, I know I know it's basically a shelf but people please... It was not working with us!
with a few phone calls and some help from Friends Jeff got it up while I was out of town for a couple days.. (That is after we attempted it ALL day Saturday)
Now-Here is how it looks today:
And finally the whole area:

I am quite pleased with how it looks. I have changed it many times but I think I am finally satisfied with how it looks. The best part is I had everything but the candle sticks. Now on to the painting...

Ok i've been told to update my blog... truth is I have been blogging just not here! I started another blog for all my random things I like to do but right now all it has is a weekly menu. I plan on adding more to it like decorating, sewing, and crafty little things. Here are a couple pictures of somethings I'll soon add.





I have had quite a few friends have babies the past couple months and more that are pregnant so I made a bunch of things for the ones that have already had their babies and in the process of making more!
