My Softball Gal!

My Haven girl is finally getting to play a team sport!
She is playing Softball and her team name is the Cupcakes....I know....pretty awful team name and she wanted to quit when she heard it!
The team...well, let's just say they are improving but we've lost every game so far.  She has gotten a few hits and this is where she plays

But she loves it and she is awfully cute in he little uniform, isn't she?

A More Decorated Home

Just thought I would share pics of the house once it was decorated.  Here's our new furniture for the very spacious living room......
Landon finally got his own room to decorate!  When we lived in Holly Pond, we had a 3 bedroom house so when Haven came along, Landon's "room" was down in the basement because he slept with Mason anyway every night.  Needless to say, he didn't spend much time in his "room" because it was in a damp, dark basement.  In Colorado, he had to share a room with Haven.  So here, he finally got his own room to decorate and as you can see, it has a music theme

I had so much fun helping him decorate as we got all my old records and put them on his wall.  He wanted to listen to all the songs so thanks to You Tube, we did.  He really appreciates all music and I love that about him!
Mason kept the whole Alabama Crimson Tide theme.  I did promise him a "Fathead" for his wall when he can decide which one he wants.

It made me sad that he did not want to display his trophies.  He realized all the trophies he got in Alabama where not a result of anything he accomplished but were given just for participation so they really don't mean much to him now.  Maybe now that he is not far from high school sports, he'll start a new trophy case with some well deserved awards!  He did still want all those team pictures we paid for during the years on his wall so I made a nice little arrangement for him...............



Haven's room has a cute little horse theme.  I actually have the curtains for her room now and it is officially complete!  I'll have to say that since we've been here, Haven rarely plays in her room and keeps it really neat because she is ALWAYS outside playing.  I love it!  We had to leave her bicycle in Colorado because we ran out of room in the moving truck so we bought her a new one here.  She stayed on that bike all the time!  A week after we bought it, my sister-in-law ran over it because Haven left it behind her truck.  So she is now on her 3rd bike and loves it just as much.   She has to ride it to church for every service.  So cute!

This is our sun room....they put in outdoor carpet and it's a neat little reading room.  Lucee seems to think it is her bedroom too!
And this is our dining room....I really want to change the color scheme here and have done a lot of shopping to find something I like better but I just have not found it yet. 

I still need to pick out curtains for both the dining room and living room and that has been a challenge for me because they have such large windows.  Wish I could hire a designor to just do it for me but they are a little pricey.  I'm not good at all with arranging or designing but I do love this house and it is good enough for us.  The great part about the house is that it has a huge laundry room and several closets for storage so I feel much more organized now. 
WELCOME TO OUR CASA!
