My Boy's rooms


Kellys Korner is hosting a tour of babies/children's rooms. I LOVE decorating my kids rooms. Warning: There are lots of pictures....... I have three boys.
Here is Charlie Mac's room. I love his nursery, I wanted a room that was french country, but not themey. I had his bedding and rocking chair cover made by a local lady. I'm happy with the way it all turned out. you really can't tell but, his bedding is central park toile fabric. I stuck with reds,black,cream,and greens. I wanted it to be colorful.

Here's his dresser.

And, one little wall. The lighting is not that great in his room, no direct sun :)

little side table by the rocker.

his changing table, it's really a dresser without the mirror. I painted all his furniture, it was a light pine color.

The treatment above his bed, was so easy to do with fabric....

now, here is Mr. preteen Cole's room. we went with a funky, teenage room. I found his bedding at Pottery Barn Teen, his sheets have guitars all over them, he loves them.....

My boys are hunters, this was the first ram he killed!

I got this super cool lamp for 13.00 dollars at Home Depot. I made this canvas- threw some paint up on it!

This is a little nook in his room, Cole has a beautiful view from up here...

This is a library, where we keep all the books

And his desk....

Now Mr. Carson, Oh he's such a stinker! I have always done the boys rooms in a cowboy theme. Well, I love it, but Carson now thinks other wise. I told him when he goes to the 5th grade we will redo his like we did Cole's.
Here's his dresser....

I had this chair recovered in this super cowboy print, it's the same print as the curtains I had made.....

Carson's room is I think is my favorite Shhhhh!

A lady here in town did this awesome mural. ....

All of his bedding I got at Land Of Nod, such cute stuff.....

I tried to keep the pictures to a minimal, but it was hard! I hope you enjoyed a little peak at the boy's rooms. Go and check out all the other super rooms.
The pool is READY!! We are so happy around here. It took us a few weeks to get the water where it should be. It really feels like summer now that the pool is open. The boys have just three days left of school and will be home, so we will really do some swimming. Cole is no where around here in these pictures. You know, he thinks he's to big!

Here's a few pictures from our first swim of the season....

carson is such a ham....

Carson doing his tricks :)

C Mac isn't quite so sure about it, we really have to be careful and watch him. It scares me sometimes.

He would rather play in a puddle...

I know two posts in one day. I'm trying to catch up. I made it to the flea markets this morning and got some neat stuff. I'll show them soon.

This "N" That

I have totally been so busy, that I have not even had time to blog in a while! Whew, these kids keep me on my toes!

We got Charlie Mac the cutest little sand and water play set. He loves it and so does Carson. It's made by Step two and I totally recommend it! We got it at Kmart.



CM and Carson getting serious about this!



My mother in law, Rosemary, and I went to this super quaint little town called Keo, it has even been featured in Southern Living. There is a little eat place called Charlotte's, they have the best pie. Oh, my I mean YUMMY !) keo is known for their antiques. Rows and rows of antiques. Here is Charlie Mac playing on an antique tractor. We didn't buy anything, but had so much fun dreaming. I do have a great mother in law! We have fun together.

Charlie Mac was bribed with a sucker, which made it's way to the hair! I could eat him up, he's so stink'n cute.......

Here's Charlotte's, such a neat little place...

I told you the pie was yummy, look at it, strawberry!
I will be back soon, I promise not so long this time. Charlie Mac and I are are going to hit a couple of flea markets today. I'm on the hunt for while milk glass. I will share what I'm doing when I'm all done.
Have a great Thursday,

Mother's Day weekend

I had a wonderful Mother's day weekend! I'm one blessed momma! I always dreamed of being a momma when I was a little girl, People would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I always said " A MOMMA" My dream did come true.... times three! I couldn't imagine being anything else, but MOMMA.

Charlie and the boys got me a closet makeover from Closet Factory!! We'll both have built in dressers and lots of shelves, I'm so excited, I'll keep you posted on how it turns out. Charlie is always so good to get me what I want!

Friday we checked the kids out early from school and headed to Louisiana to visit Charlie's family. We always have such a good time when we go. Poke Salad was going on, which is a fair in the little town he grew up in. The little kids and big kids had a ball. They have a big parade, and people throw out beads and the kids catch them. Carson was in heaven! He got more beaded necklaces!!! It was hot and humid down in Louisiana, but the sun was shining.

Here's me and my three angles.....

Charlie's dad is just crazy about Charlie Mac, and vise verse

Cole and my niece Anna rode the swings about 6 times, I can't believe they didn't get sick.

charlie Mac enjoying that yummy corn dog.

This is Aunt Anita, she is just as beautiful,sweet and caring as they come. Cole loves her!

We ate more junk.....


Sunday after we got back in town I met up with my mom, sister and brother. We went to a little Mexican restaurant and had a great visit. I love my mom and consider myself so blessed to have a mom like her. She has shown me how to be a mom and I will forever be greatful for that.
Sunday evening charlie grilled hamburgers, and we hung out. The boys played Star Wars, I just love to watch them play. Cole thinks he's to big to play, so when he does I don't miss any of it. Carson loves Cole so much, and gets the biggest kick out of it when Cole plays with him. They had Charlie Mac in a karate jacket, playing little Yoda! He is scared to death when the big boys come close to him wearing masks. Of course they think it's funny!



He came running to daddy to save him, Bless his little heart!

I hope you had a wonderful mother's day weekend too.

I'm going on a date tonight with my dad and little sister, We are going to Coopers in downtown little Rock. I've never been there, but I'm sure it's yummy!
