Before and After

I have been dying to decorate my back porch since we moved in this house last spring/early summer.  I have been to a few places to see if I could find cushions that were just the right size and just "fun" enough for me to look at all the time.  Trees and Trends had the cutest patterns, but not the right size in the pattern I wanted.  I went to Pier One, and voila!  I found just what I wanted.  Here are a couple of before and afters for you to enjoy.  Anyone that wants to come see it in person, just let me know!  I love love love to have company, cook, and entertain :)  I think now all I need are some plants to accompany my new motif and a new tv mounted on the wall, instead of the huge one sitting in the doorway!

We took Maw Maw to the zoo this weekend for her birthday.  I think she enjoyed her surprise!  Here are a few pics from our trip:

The giraffe is just for Josie :)  That was a baby one that was just so cute! 

Me and RJ played on the bed tonight, while we were watching Extreme Makeover looking for Uncle Greg.  Ryleigh just loves to play in the pillows and be tickled.  She also loves mommy's jewelry so much that she was trying to get some out of my jewelry box and dumped the whole thing over on her.  It scared me to death.  I wish I could have had my reaction on tape.  Brad laughed at me, but those momma instincts really came out strong haha! She is perfectly fine with no bruises even. 

"Double-fisting" already hehe :)
