Baby Names

No name yet.

31 weeks along.

We have been having a hard time. This was the same time we announced Elle's name and Conway's name we had before the ultrasound. and I just keep feeling like there is a name out there that I have not heard yet that I will fall in love with and be completely sold like I was with Conway and Ellese.

It is a challenge but if you have any great names that fit these rules let me know, or if it is just so amazing and brakes a few rules that is ok too.

1. Does Not start with a letter we all ready have. B, J, C, or E

2. Does Not end in N, don't like the way most of those names sound with Lambso"N"

3. Has a double constant, the rest of us have one, so might as well keep it going. (Conway's is his middle name)

4. A "cowboy" western style name...  With a big brother named Conway it has got to "match" :)

See, I know I am crazy. But I have loved the lists and ideas I have gotten from Grandmas, Aunts, and friends so far. It has been fun to explore all the options.

Wyatt is our number one contender so far, so whenever I propose a new name to Britton his response has been "not over Wyatt" but he says he is still open to more ideas too. ;) It is not just me.

Hope you are all enjoying your Friday!

Love these two crazies.

Dining table

I would like to dedicate this post to my cousin Amy. She inspired me to jump in to this project that I had been stalling on.

Before picture:

Little helper love that it does not stink and easily washes off until you wax so it was a easy stress free project for me being pregnant and did not have to worry about my little helper either. Listened  to some Backstreet Boys while we worked

 He said I had good jams. ;) see if he agrees in 10 years.

Deciding for the finish on the top of the table. Black "granite" top with a straight dark wax finish. Far left on the example. 8 had thought I wanted to do a lime oak finish wi th so cream streaks in it. But there was not grain on my super smooth table. And since this was a no sanding project I went with just a solid finish.

Chairs painted on coco before the dark wax. The dark wax brought a lot more green out then I was expecting but they turned into a nice rich finish that I love!

The table legs half waxed and one chair waxed. Single coat dark wax was all I need the more rub a polishing the shinier the finish.

Table painted in charcoal before wax finish.

To be completely  honest I am not in love. It is more unique and I enjoy the originality of it now but I feel like it needs some kind of feminine  touch  to light it up. Considering a light lacey stencil or maybe scratching in some "grain"... 

Special thanks to Mom and Dad Britton Conway and Elle in the end it was a great team effort to finish "my " project. Love ya!

California Vacation

Our big hurrah family vacation as a family of 4! We wanted to get a Disneyland trip in before we had a kindergartner and this was our chance. With Aunt Nano and Uncle Anton living in San Diego now we took full advantage! :)

We would walk back to the hotel every afternoon for a nap. While we slept, everyone else would ride the big roller coasters.

 Disney Parades never dissappoint and thanks to Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Nano we always had the best seats!

 Cars land was a huge highlight! especially for our Mater Fan! He loved just wandering around looking at all the magic.
