Baby Girl's Nursery

I am so excited that our nursery is finally done! We love how it turned out and know it will be perfect for our sweet little girl. She better like elephants, because we couldn't resist all of the cute elephant decor everywhere! The nursery has been a work in progress for a while now, and we couldn't have done it without the help from our awesome Mom's, Sisters and Grandma Franny. We also got so spoiled by everyone at all of my baby showers, holy cow, we are so overwhelmed with all of the love and support everyone has shown us! This baby girl has more clothes than me and definitely has a great blanky collection started. I have been really anxious to get it done before she comes, even though she probably won't sleep in her nursery for a few months. But it feels so good to have it all done. Now we're ready baby girl! So, without further adieu, here's some pics of her room....

Her daddy built this board & batten wall and shelf all by himself!

I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time rocking her in this chair soon

Once she has a name, her initial will go on this wall

New Floors

And for the big reveal.....


We have finally completed one of our BIGGEST home projects yet! Well, we didn't exactly complete it ourselves, but it's still been an exhausting project. We have been wanting new floors for a while now, and we finally took the plunge. Before, our floors were ugly tan linoleum and ugly tan carpet. We have slowly tried to get the tan colors out and put more modern gray and white in our home. We found the perfect wood looking tile and gray carpet and hired someone to do the dirty work for us. We had a lot of square feet to cover with tile, and it took 2 full weeks to get it done. It's been crazy living in a construction zone. We also decided to rip out all of our old floor boards and replace them with new ones, so once the floors were done, we had a lot of finish work to do. In fact, we still have Ryan's den and a few rooms to finish up. We had tons of help from our awesome family--moving furniture, painting, caulking, ripping up carpet, I don't know what we would have done without them. At the same time that all of our floors were being re-done, our master bathroom renovation was also underway. We've still got some finish work to do in there and then I'll post some pics of the bathroom! 

Here are the photos of before, during, and after the new floors!

Halloween Party at Hinton Manor

Last weekend we hosted a Halloween Party for a bunch of our married friends. We thought it would be fun to have a reason to dress up in costumes and get together! I love Halloween, it's such a fun holiday with lots of fun decorations and costumes. We had a costume contest, a photo booth and some games too. 

We loved seeing so many of our friends. It seems the older we get, the busier we get and the less we are able to see our friends. It is always fun catching up with everyone! We hope to make this an annual tradition at the Hinton Manor.
