Mysha's Baby Shower
I helped Host a Baby Shower for one of my sorority sisters Mysha and her almost here Baby Ellarie! Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure! :)
Let the projects begin!
After we painted the kitchen Michael's dad came to us and said he wanted to build a shed in our backyard. Michael was happy to oblige!!
So bright and early Saturday Morning Michael and his dad went to Lowe's to get the supplies they need for the flooring.
They will start the walls this coming saturday! I am personally very excited about this because we do not have a ladder attic so getting in the attic is a huge PAIN!! I have to get on the ladder, okay that's a lie, Michael has to get on the ladder! But now in a few short weeks Michael will never have to get in the attic again!!
Next project...painting the guest room!

Worth a thousand words...
...Or a thousand dollars! :) (not really)
The night before Easter I was taking a timer picture while babysitting and my camera fell on the tile floor and it was dead! The lens was extended out and it smashed one side of it. It was a sad day in the Horton house! I can't live without a camera! I am constantly taking pictures! I have 103 albums on Facebook, if that tells you anything!
I had been asking for a camera for my birthday and Christmas this year. I wanted a really nice camera for when we have kids. Michael came to me on Tuesday night and said that Best Buy was having bundle deals on cameras and if I wanted one to go look and see which ones I like the best.
So Wednesday evening my wonderful Hubby came home with this....
A Nikon D5000DX! I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! I have taken pictures of Gizmo and my kids at school and it is so awesome!
Here are a few pics I've taken:
A camera wasn't enough for us we (Michael) had to uprade our TV from a 46" to a 55". Michael is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to electronics! Here are the pictures with our new electronic of our other new electronic!
Michael was so tired after putting the TV together that he needed to take a snoozer!!

Party in the Sac!
Last Saturday we had our 1st Annual Block Party. It was really fun! We (well the HOA board members) grilled hot dogs and all the neighbors brought the side dishes. We had a guy named Justin come sing for us and he was great! I really liked all the music he played (it was all song i knew!)
We had a clown Flora Bell doing face painting and balloon animals for the younger kiddos (and a few of the adults).
We also had a Jupiter Jump and the kids loved it (and a few of the adults!) :)
It was really a great time to get to meet some of the neighbors we see everyday but never really stop and talk to! Here are our immediate neighbors.
Colby and Carisa Wright
Kellen and Lindsey Baldwin
Hubby and I
Soon-to-be Jason and Susan Rooks

Living up to it's name
Labor Day weekend lived up to its name this year at the Horton house!
About 2 weeks ago I painted my friend Cara's little girls room and it sparked my painting bug! So I "talked" Michael into it and we started with the kitchen. Something easy, not a lot of wall space. Well that lead to painting the kitchen, laundry room and pantry!
Cara and I had picked out a few shades of green that I though would look nice against our cabinets, which are a dark cherry. Michael and I agreed on a color "Weeping Willow" it was! So on Thursday we go to Lowes and purchase our paint and all the things you need when painting. Michael and his dad were going to paint the ceiling on friday while I was at school, so we could start bright and early Saturday morning with the wall color.
Well we get home and I can't wait! We painted a small portion of the wall next to the cabinets, so I could see what it looked like! I HATE IT!!!!!! I looks like a pea yellow!!
I wake up in the morning still hating the color and Michael is telling me to "live with it, because we can't take a $25 can of colored paint back!!" His sister comes over later that evening and some how Michael has changed his tune from 'living with it' to hating it! They go to Lowes and buy these little paint testers for $2.49 (genius! Why didn't we think of this before!!!) and they buy 3 colors and paint them on the wall, then it is up to me to decide the final color!
We picked the far right color! I absolutely love it!! It is exactly what I was expecting it to look like!!
My mom, Cara, Michael's dad, Michael and I knocked the kitchen, laundry room and pantry out all before 4:00!!
Michael and I were headed to the season opener in Stillwater so we needed to be done by 4:00 to be at the game by 6:00. I have to say that we could NOT have done it without everyone's help!!
It's so nice to walk into the kitchen and it feels homey (I know its not a word, but I'm making it work here!).
Next project...the guest bedroom!!!

Day 12-Whatever tickles your fancy
Live from Chicago...It's Saturday Night!!
Katie so graciously hosted our girls night last night in Oklahoma City. We were celebrating Torri's Engagement, Mysha's Birthday and just enjoying being together! (Delicious cake!)
We decided that since our friend Chelsea recently moved to Chicago that we should Skype her in so she could be apart of our night!
It was SOOO much fun!! I have never skyped before but it's something I'm definitely going to do more often!!
Since we have so much to be thankful for in our lives, we thought it appropriate to toast to friendship, engagements, babies and the future! **That's right Chelsea had her own glass of wine too!!**
Chelsea wanted a picture of her and Torri...So I delivered!! :)
I love getting to spend time with these girls (and the ones we were missing, Mackenzie & Kaylyn!) we never have a dull time when we are together. We talk about wishing we were still in Stillwater, the Phi Mu House, whose dating who, Weddings, Babies, when people are going to have babies, Sam's Cards, jobs, the brand of toilet paper we prefer, things we wish we knew when we were in college because we would be so much smarter now, etc! The list is endless!!
These girls will be my sisters for life even if they live in Chicago or soon to be North Carolina we will always be there for one another and really that's all that counts!
Thanks girls for a fun evening and Chels thanks for a walking tour of your apt! We loved it!!
