Awww, they are just too cute!!!

The craziness is over....for 3 weeks

{ Tuesday, December 16, 2008 }
Wow, it has been a crazy semester for me. I have spent the last 16 weeks studying like a maniac. Last week was by far the worst. This was my life for 7 days. PS, I actually lived on the couch.....


OK OK don't let me fool you, I did do some fun things. Jon and I went up to Kalamazoo ( in November, I really need to up date the blog more) and hung out with our super cool friends. Some random pics from the festivities:


Jon and Lil napping. They are too cute!

I promised Kim I would put this picture on the blog for her :O)

Hollywood!!! Miss Lil you are adorable!

Quite possibly the worst bunny ears ever applied.

Crazy busy as always

I, of course, have had a crazy busy 2 weeks studying and researching and more studying. HOWEVER, I have one more test tomorrow and I am test free for 2 weeks!!! I am beside myself excited. So hopefully I can update more frequently. But we have had some exciting events lately. The girls and I took a trip to the orchard, we picked apples and pumpkins. The weather was perfect. We had a fabulous time.

Laura in a tree getting the perfect apple. I think for Beth because she was too scared to get in the tree!


Beth, Laura and Brandi


Jon being crazy high painting the house. It turned out so pretty though. He did a great job.


So pretty


Jon playing the Wii. My wonderful husband got me a Wii for my birthday and it is super fun to play. I can't wait for everyone to come over so we can have a Wii party!!!

The Paint King and Queen

{ Sunday, October 12, 2008 }
This weekend has been VERY busy for us. I decided I needed a red dining room. Huge project because FYI red paint requires at minimun 4 coats. But it was well worth the time because I LOVE IT!!! Take a peek at my handywork....


This is pre red paint


This is 4 coats later


We also decided to paint the outside of our house. Well Jon painted and I watched, but there is some touch up for me to do around the edges. Otherwise it looks FANTASTIC. And yes we now live in a green house!!


Jon being handy



PS thanks Rob for the paint sprayer. That thing rocks!!!

Crazy Study Week

{ Friday, October 3, 2008 }
So I had 3 tests this past week that I should have been studying like mad for, which I did because it is me and I love to study; but here is how I spent some of my week anyway......

This is the first time I used my wonderfully fabulous Kitchenaid mixer. I love it.

These little gems are like Reece cups only more weight friendly...delicious!! Thanks for the recipe Kim!

The girls and I at the winery, the best place to be after a long hard week.

My wonderful husband

It is me Erin again. It has pretty much been forever since I have updated the blog, but as you know I am a busy girl. But I wanted to take a moment and show you what my wonderful husband :) did for me while I slaved away studying....

My awesome bar area and I so excited to use...hopefully soon!!


This is my dining room and my ode to fall, my favorite time of year!!!


Shelves in the bedroom. I don't know what to put on them yet, but I love them anyway. A complete picture to come once I finish decorating.

I have to study like a mad woman for the next two weeks. Hopefully I will do something fun after that and have some stellar pictures to post!!
