Presley's Room

Ok, so I need your help.. P's first nursery was light yellow.. which, was ok.. but it never really made the furniture POP.. so I am going to paint a different color in our new place... Poor thing has a super WHITE room.. and white furniture, too.. It needs some color.. Here are some pics.. sorry for the mess, and lack of things on the wall... want to paint first. I am going to hang 2 sweet smocked dresses on each side of the round mirror... Not sure about about the crib.. was thinking about a name decal.. suggestions are welcome!! :)
p.s. Lighting isn't that great in these pics.

So, Here's what I am pretty set on.. I LOVE this color with yellow!
This nursery is amazing, but P's will be more shabby chic instead of modern..

Love LOVE love!

Love this living room, too! Maybe I should just paint the whole house! Matt would just LOVE that! LOL

Yeah, don't think the turquoise would match..If you know a color that would.. let me know! :)

Just some new pics

Bye Bye Mr. Armada

So, today I went to get the Armada appraised.. It is something Matt and I have been talking about for a few months now. We got the SUV when prices where really great..and thought it would be great to have a big car with Presley and traveling. It has been nice.. love all the room, etc.
However, I have never liked the cloth seats ( they are easily stained)..guess I was pretty spoiled with leather..lol.. and since Matt is getting a demo in a month--we can drive an SUV, car, truck whatever fits his mood for that month. He has to change it monthly. SO, if we need a bigger car/suv for traveling we will have it. Plus, gas is a killer in the Armada. So, I am very excited!! Also, we are POSITIVE in the Armada.. God has been so good this year and really blessed us!! Who makes $ when they sell a car? Crazy!
So I am probably getting one of these again. THE Honda Accord. Isn't she a beauty?! :)
.. Super happy! It only has 33k miles, leather, sunroof, and MY FAV. booty warmers for the winter--I think I will really LOVE those for this cold weather in OHIO!
I also, LOVE the gray.. My Armada was white.. and it was never me.. I am much more of a Black/gray/blue kinda girl...

And when we get a demo..it will be endless options.
A possible ride in the near future:

Hello, Gorgeous!

Oh one of my favs..HOT!!

Just a great perk being married to Matthew.. FYI.. he has worked super hard to get the demo..and I am super blessed to have such a wonderful husband..

Memphis Trip

Sleeping, no Tanning Beauty. lol

Well, Presley and I just got back from Memphis yesterday.. It was so great to see family and friends! We were in town a little over a week.. and it was FUN! However, I do not miss the HOT summers, nor the horrible drivers... I really am starting to LOVE Ohio more and more!! If only I could move all my favorite people here! :)
Presley and I got to see all the grandparents and several of my close friends.. also, got to hang out with my fav. sister in the world, Nikki. :)
We were able to spend the 4th with family. Good times!
WE sure did MISS Matt, though.. maybe next time we came all come as a family.
Here are just a few pics of the wonderful vaca.. I left my memory card in Memphis.. BUMMER. So I will just post a few. Enjoy.
Oh, and while we were in town.. Presley got to have her 18month checkup with Dr. Miller.YAY!
She is 27lbs, 33 inches! TALKING up a storm!! Saying YES, a bunch and nodding her head! Also, sings the tune of her ABCs.. it is precious! I just LOVE her to pieces!
Also, she did GREAT on the plane ride--we got bumped on the first flight.. and had to go back home, and made the afternoon one.. She was such a trooper. I am BLESSED!

Five for Friday

1) So excited.. today, Matt was off work.. so we tried a new Mexican restaurant that was pretty good.. much much much better than the 1st one we tried here.. Here is the one we went to.. And I give it a 4 star..I had the lunch fajitas..so yummy. Cherry Coke and Cheese dip were pretty good, too. http://www.mycaporal.com/

2) Loving my summer perfume.. I wear different ones.. but, am really liking this for summer!

3) Loves this raw, unedited pictures of Presley :)

She is taking her MONKEY all over the house now, even to breakfast every morning, and don't dare try and take it away.. You will get screams and very mean looks.

4) My little girl likes to be in control of the TV shows we watch.. Oh, my!

5) Last, but not least, I am so excited about our new jogging stroller.. much better for the parks here..And it could go boy/girl for the next baby...So excited..Also, has a mp3 hookup with speakers so we can listen to music.. It was the best for the price!

Never say never.

Today started out great.. Presley and I went to the pool..with some sweet friends+kiddos.. We only stayed a little while, b/c she was ready for a nap. After she woke up, I thought I would go to Wal-Mart.. grab some Father's Day cards..and a few grocery items we needed.. So on my way out.. IT happened.. a horrible thing.. that I am still a little upset about.. but, much better.. I put Presley in carseat, buckled her in, gave her water ( her cup) , and goldfish.. put groceries in the car, threw keys in front seat.. shut door.. OH NO!!!!!! I locked my precious baby in the car! I don't know how it happened because I never hit lock.. but, all doors were! Thankfully, a sweet lady ( angel) appeared calmly told me to go inside and call 911..b/c the police would get to us the fastest..and she would stay with the car.. I RACED in and called.. in mins.. they were at her rescue.. THANKFULLY! She was only in car maybe 10 min.. and it is in the 80s, not hundreds, and poor thing had water.
The policeman was super sweet.. along, with sweet lady.. (who I wish know I would have gotten her info.. to send a thank you)
.. SO, if this ever happens to you.. call the police. Learn from my mistake. It could happen to anyone, I know.. but, it was a horrible 15 min!! I cried like a baby.. and smothered her with kisses when I got to her. Funny thing was.. ever time I tried to look in the car to check on her.. I had to press my face to the glass ( since we have tint) and she was laughing thinking I was playing peek- a- boo.
~I will be more careful, and never again will I toss my keys up front.

sick :(

My little girl is growing up.. She isn't a little baby anymore. Kindof sad!

This week..
I have NOT being feeling well the last few days.. I think it was a sinus headache.. no fun, that's for sure! Presley hasn't been feeling great either.. so we have been inside the last two days..thankfully I am feeling much better..and hope to get some pool time in tommorrow.
Matt's job.. Carmax opens tomorrow..please keep him in your prayers. It will be a hard week. But, he is sooo ready to be selling cars again! His schedule goes back to crazy hours.. so I am kindof sad about that. But, very blessed he has a great job that he LOVES.. very important!
Here is a picture of our little family.. uncut..Please excuse the way I look.. this is my sick look. :)

These are a few of my favorite things..

I haven't posted a blog of favorites lately.. This little girl is MY favorite.. And I love how animated she can be.. So sweet to see her getting excited about the Bible so early.. My prayer is she will always have an excitement for reading the Word..we should ALL be this happy to read it, daily! :)
Verse I am loving this week:
"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the LORD." Romans 12:11
I know this new song that plays on my blog -" Nothing on you.." is suppose to be a love interest.. but, it always reminds me of Presley. :) So I will leave it for a few days..

Of course, when it comes to music.. I am a huge Ben Harper fan.. He is AMAZING.

LOVE all these, too

Christian Artist I really LIKE!

As far as summer drink favs. go:

Love that I can see this at night.. Reminds me of childhood!
Need to get over to B&Bworks for this --esp. since they are having BIG sales!

Have been dreamin' bout this since I had it.. Brownie Sundae Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.. little slice of heaven!

Presley's favorite show at the moment.
She lights up when she sees OLIVIA.. I have to admit.. I LOVE this show, too.. it is super cute.. and Olivia is soo funny.. We just love it.. And hope to meet her in person one day.. so jealous she will be in Memphis.. Olivia, please visit Ohio soon!

My townhouse pool.. It is soo pretty..and they keep it looking perfect.. and I can walk to it.

What are some of your favorite things at the moment..?
