or meeting adorable little Roman...

or even how well the Sooners did in the first round...

but instead this little video trumps it all!

The Fruit of the Spirit...

The Weekend

Saturday was the perfect day for baseball...so that's what we did! We went to the Rangers game! Noah loves baseball and even acted like he remembered going last year. He was so excited! Since Cohen is Mr. Mobile we decided not to take him and he went to stay at Nana and Graddy's. Here is a pic of my two little baseball fans...

Daddy and Noah soaking it all in...

He loved cheering for the Rangers!

The End!

10 Months!

Yep, he's ten months today! He has done sooo much in the last 3 weeks. He crawls, pulls up, cruises holding on to furniture, let's go and just stands there! He is definitely a curious little guy! He doesn't say a whole lot yet but he sure does love to say Dada! We think he has even said Dede {Chester}! He waves and says hi. He now eats some table food but still loves his baby food. He can somewhat drink from a sippy cup. He had 6 teeth total...2 on bottom, 4 on top. He still has his helmet...his growth has slowed for a bit, so hopefully it will pick up again soon so that he can get it off! He still does very well with it and it comes in handy now that he is so active! He loves to follow Noah around and they can even somewhat "play" together now. Overall, he is a happy little guy...always laughing and smiling. Which sure does make Mommy and Daddy happy!

We love you little Cohen!

Some Projects

For awhile I have been wanting to do something with the wall our fireplace is on. I have been noticing on some design websites, that stencils are making a comeback! So I decided to stencil the whole fireplace wall to make it more interesting and more of the focal point of the room. I found a stencil I liked from Sunny's Goodtime Paint, ordered it and it shipped very quickly! We then painted the wall blue and Aaron marked a whole grid on the wall so that it will make an exact pattern (I have a sweet hubby, don't I?)! I then stenciled the whole wall while free handing some of the design once it butted up against the mantel or ceiling. I think it turned out great!



Next, we got a new buffet/console for our TV and I knew that I needed something decorative on both sides to fill in dead space. Well, I saw on Budget Wise Home, a project in which she spray painted some vases a glossy white to get the look of white ceramic decorative vases. So, I tried using vases and bottles I already had and loved how it turned out! See below:





Just thought I would share a couple of affordable DIY projects that were a lot of fun to do!

The Ellis' are very busy these days! But, the busiest of us all has to be Cohen! He is crawling EVERYWHERE! Pulling up on EVERYTHING! Loves to get into ANYTHING! I guess that's life with an almost 10-month-old! He loves his new found freedom! Above is a video of him crawling that I took last week. Since then he has started crawling faster and longer distances. Enjoy!

{Of course that is Noah in the background singing{?} who knows what.}
