Whatsa Goin' On

The last week or so has been pretty mild here in the Mize household. However we had a fun weekend. We went up to David's parent's house because our friend Kayti had her reception there on Friday night. She looked SO beautiful! And David and I LOVE her husband, he's PERFECT for her. Unfortunately we forgot our camera so we have no pictures. Sad, but I'm sure she'll have a ton up sooner or later. If you are dying to see her blog link is on the right side of our page here. :) Her reception was beautiful and they had SO much fun! For part of their gift David and I decorated their hotel room with Rose Petals, Candles and Sparkling Cider. We hope that they enjoyed it, I'm sure they did.
Now, a few days before we left we were having a HUGE ant problem in the bedroom. They were all along the baseboard by the window and decided to take over my night stand. So, our fix it guy came over and put down some bate to kill them and their colony. 5 minutes after he left this is what the bate looked like. Keep in mind this is only 1 of the 5 places he put the bate.
Pretty freaking nasty huh! But, it worked because I haven't seen any ants since! :) YAY!
Since we were in Portland already, we stayed at my in-law's for the weekend because David's best friend was in town as well, with his wife and baby. Saturday morning David went golfing with his Dad and Scott (the best friend). Apparently David won so it was a good day! :) Saturday afternoon I went shopping with my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law for fabric. My mother-in-law is making the bedding for Tuckers crib, so we had to get everything for it. She also decided that she wants to make a couple of blankets for Tucker to be swaddled in. She amazes me at how quick she is. Sunday morning she decided to make one of the small blankets and was done in about 30 minutes. She's like speed racer on the sewing machine. Here is what the blanket looks like. I love it so much! If you can't tell, one side is footballs, and the other side says Baby Boy on it. Too perfect! We also got the rest of the fabric for the bedding. I am SO excited for it. These are the colors that David and I chose. I refer to them as the "Nautica Blues" because I got the idea from a bedding set at Babies-R-Us that is Ralph Lauren Nautica. I love the bedding at Babies-R-Us, but it was way too expensive and having it made means I can get exactly what I want! :) We got some fabric that matched the top color and the bottom color perfectly, then we got a fabric that had a slight pattern to it that matched the middle color pretty well, and we also got a brighter blue that brought everything together really well. The bedding is going to be so cute. Here is the pattern that we are using. It's not the greatest picture, but I did what I could. :) And here is the bedding from babies-r-us that I got the color idea from. However, our patterned fabric doesn't have stripes it has little squares on it. Totally cute!

Well, that's all for us. We are enjoying Salem and everything that is coming with it. David is still loving his job, and I enjoy taking care of everything at home. In a week I will be heading to California and Vegas for 10 days. It's a long time to be away from home, but I will enjoy seeing the whole family. I hope all is well with everyone reading this!
