Our House

Here's a few pictures of a few rooms in our house.

This is our bedroom (with Greg exiting). We'd like to move the glider upstairs and get two chairs facing the TV armourer. Notice the blue ceiling. Took me a little while to get used to, but the room needed some color with the bland walls.

Here's the other end of our bedroom. I love our king size bed!This is the living room. (We were watching UP! I love, love, love that movie!)

This is the piece of furniture that we've spent the past two months searching for. It was so hard to find something the right size and style to go in the huge hole in the middle of the built in cabinets/bookshelves. I think it matches quite well I think

Here's the mantel. I really need to put some candles on the candle holders. I'll get around to it eventually...

Here's the dinning room. It has a view out to the water and fountain in the front yard. You can see my stripes on the wall really well! Love them!

The furniture is Jeff and Gena's (Jordan's parents). We sold ours a few months ago and it would have been perfect in the space. Oh well, I think Gena's set is beautiful and works well in there also.
Here's my favorite room in the house. Addison Kate's Room!

Our craig's list steal!

One of her favorite birthday presents. Isn't it precious?!
Her crib was another craigs list find! Gotta love it! And her name on the wall I love!!

Tripp wanted to be in a picture too! :)

Those were the only rooms I had decent pictures of. I'll try to get more up later. To see the outside of the house, see this post (It looks prettier now with all the trees in bloom. I'll get more pictures up soon. Also of the kitchen since it's now green instead of boring brown)

Show and Tell

So I'm finally going to get pictures of Addison's Room on my blog! YAY! Here they are:

This is the view when you first come in. I'm standing in the doorway facing diagonally to the right. My mom made the curtains, the cute display board, all the bedding and recovered the rocker, which was given to us by my friend Ashlea. I think my mom did such a great job on making all of this! I love it! The wall letters were made for me by my friend Jessica's sister. I wanted to pay her for them, but she wouldn't let me. She hand painted them with some of the designs from Addison's main fabric (Carnival Bloom Brown by Michael Miller). The crib was a Craig's List find. We paid $160 for the crib (which looked brand new!!), crib mattress, mattress pad and two yellow sheets. I already had the little night stand from my old room.Here's a close up of the wall letters. I hate that the flash left such a glare in this picture. Notice the beautiful hand made quilt that my mom suprised me with at one of my baby showers. I knew she was making all the other bedding (since I picked it out and told her exactly what I wanted) but I wasn't expecting the cute little crib quilt.

Also notice the mint green crouchet blanket that my Aunt Sandie made just for little Addison. She used the softest thread and it's one of my favorite blankets. Mom also made a white crouchet blanket, but she uses it st her house for Addison's naps.

Inside the crib is a third crouchet blanket that has an angel in the design that a sweet little lady, Mildred, from my parent's church made for us. Addison sleeps under every night. Before you freak out and turn me over to social services for letting my baby sleep in her crib with a blanket, let me explain. Addison is wrapped tightly in a swaddle blanket every night. Her hands are secured in place and she cannot roll over with the swaddle blanket on. So every night I put her to sleep on her back, wrapped in her swaddle blanket and lay the angel blanket over her. Her room tends to stay cooler than the rest of the upstairs and I hate to think that she is laying there getting cold every night.

This is the other side of Addison's room (I'm kind of standing in closet for this picture. I forgot to get a picture of her closet and I actually have it all clean and organized right now, so maybe I'll update with one). This dresser was also mine from my old room. It is stuffed to the brim with all of her clothes, blankets, towels and sheets. The pink hamper was a gift from my friend Jessica and the diaper keeper was from Jordan's mom. I'm still working on my organization for the changing table. I just can't seem to find enough room to put everything I need up there. I've got some other stuff, such as a picture shelf and mirror, that hasn't made it up on the wall yet. Soon, I'll get it all done soon. (soon is a relative term, right?? :)

The fuzzy blanket over the top of the chair is from Addison's Aunt Lori. It's embroidered with Addison's name in teal curly writting. So Cute! I love it!! You can also see Addison's collection of bows. It's quite funny to think of all the bows that we have for her and she doesn't even have hair yet! Ah, the prissiness of having a girl!! Love it!!

This is Addison's first piggy bank. We thought it fitting that the daughter of two bankers should have a nice piggy bank. Too bad there's nothing in it right now (Don't worry! She already has her own savings account at the credit union). The little ceramic flower was hand-made by her Aunt Kyla. It's so cute and perfect for setting her bottle in while burping her. We're waiting on her second piggy bank to be made by Kyla...Anytime now... haha, just kidding!! ;) The adorable picture frame, which says "Grandma and Me" is from Addison's Nana. We have another one on the changing table/dresser that says "Grandpa's girl". Both of them have pictures of just Addison. I really need to get some cute pics with the grandparents.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy trick-or-treating!

a little trip back in time...

So I finally uploaded some pictures from my baby shower back in April and these were just too cute not to put on here. Love it!! In front of the food table. There was so much yummy stuff!!

Mom, Kyla, me and Baby Girl Cline (AKA Addison, haha). Almost 3 generations... I love this picture of us. We all cordinate so well with our pinks and greens!

I am 34 weeks pregnant and LeeAnn is 33 weeks pregnant. I think it is so funny to see how differently we carried the babies.

Here's a close up of Salem and Addison. I love it!!

Me in Addison's room. I'll get some better pictures of it on here once I get some stuff on the walls. It's horrible that it still isn't "finished"!!

This is Me, LeeAnn and our great friend Bonnie. Bonnie and her husband Bobby are the leaders of our Innerchange group (young adult bible study) that used to meet. At one point they were only couple that was not expecting a child. So there were four of us pregnant at one time! Charlin had baby John on Feb 27 (I think), Jessica had baby Tyler on April 12th, I had Addison on May 17th and LeeAnn had Salem on June 8th. Bonnie is such a loving, wonderful roll model! I love you, girl!!

Bonnie, LeeAnn, and me.This was at LeeAnn's baby shower around the beginning of April. I'm going to say that I was about 32 weeks and LeeAnn was 31 weeks?? I'm not exactly sure. There's a big difference between this picture and the one before, right?

These are some great prints that Kyla made of the ultrasound pictures. I still need to get the framed. I love them!

This is one of the last pictures I have of my pregnant belly. This was the day after I turned 36 weeks; 2 weeks before Baby Girl Cline arrived. I got my hair cute right after this and now I wish I hadn't. So ture that pregnant women cannot pull off short hair as well. My face got so round!
