Fun Tag .....

Now to Jeni's Tag!! I must be honest, I did not do this right after reading your blog...it was late and I just got Abby to bed. So the next day I took pictures, and am now just getting around to it!

Here is what you do. After reading this blog go take pics of your rooms now, without changing anything.

1. The Laundry Room.

What you can't see is the top laundry basket is already full of laundry!! Laundry day isn't till Friday, and this was like Monday!

2. Your closet.

Here is my closest, luckily Aaron has his own! I'm to much of an organized person to share! My closest is looking pretty sparse...I've been getting rid of clothes (like from high school!), so you know what that means!! Shopping!!

3. Your fridge.

Upgrading our Storage!

This past weekend we fixed up our little storage room! I painted some nice shelves my parents had as leftovers from refinishing their basement. Then Aaron and my Dad installed them!!

Here is the before picture........they were very rickety and just not good!!

Some of the food storage...

Abby loves playing in our little storage room ............ So cute in her Princess Panties!! (Aaron hates the word panties, so we call them "undies" if he is around!)

The after picture!! They look so good and are very sturdy!! And lots more room!!

I have room for more food storage now!!

This is a project that we've had on the list and I'm so happy it is done! Thanks for the hard work and help mom, dad, Abby (she helped restock the new shelves), and Aaron!! I probably should also thank Albertson's, they had part of their case lot sale last week so I stocked up which meant we had to make more room!!

I Love ISU

A few photos before our first ISU football game of the season:

Giving her best Benny the Bengal GROWL!

Showing me where the heart is. Lots of love for her Bengals!

Calling her friends to see if they can meet her at the game!

I swear that is my daughter.....even though we don't look to much alike!!

Just in case any of you are wondering.............yes, we know that ISU is kind of down in their athletics these days........but that doesn't bother us, we live in a college town and love sports! I even talked Aaron into going to the women's volleyball game the other night. What a sweet guy!! (they even won the VB match!! It was a big win!)

My Garbage Goin' Girl!

The other day I told Abby I was getting some garbage ready to take out (I must note that she really likes walking out to the dumpster with me!). While I was getting the garbage ready Abby was also getting a few things ready.................

She was standing at the back gate with her baby in her stroller and purse looped over her shoulder. She was ready to go, and of course - ME, THE MOM - found it so adorable!

Just thought I'd show ya'll a picture of the garbage that Abby and I took out!!!

The cutest cook in the world!

Abby loves to be just like mom and wear an apron whenever we are doing any cooking or baking. The apron is a lot to big, but we make it work!!

Prepped and ready to go!

Isn't that cute!!!

This particular day we happened to be making english muffin pizza's....one of Abby's favorites!! It's a great one where she can actually help me!!

** CHEESE **

Here are a few cute pictures of our little lady.......I've been wanting to post them forever but potty training, football games, and church callings have been keeping me pretty busy!!

Here is Abby showing off her BEYOND cute skirt that Aunt Becky made for Abby's birthday!!

I thought she might cooperate and pose better outside!!

And here are some BEYOND cute bows that my friend Stephanie made for Abby and gave to her for her birthday!!

I love showing off the talents of my family and friends!! I'm lucky to have such great ones!
