Big Boy Room!

Our baby isn't a baby anymore, we thought he was big when we converted his crib to a toddler bed, but now we know he's grown up when he can sleep in a brand new queen sized bed! You all know I can't go further with this post without telling you about the bed... Ms. Rachel MADE this bed (yes she did help me put the quilt on it - hahahaha) what I am meaning to say is she BUILT Jaxon's new big boy bed (yes from a pile of lumber we picked up from Home Depot one Sunday afternoon). A few weeks later the master piece in the pics was delivered to our door step (actually into the bedroom)! The only work Momma help with was some of the sanding and painting - we can't thank Ms. Rachel enough for all the hard work - THE BED is AMAZING!!!! Now on to the rest of the room! See the comments below!


The curtains - reg price $80, Momma got them on sell for just over $16.
The quilt/shams - reg price $80, got them for on clearance for $40.


The bed (lumber, paint, etc...) $160 - plus all of Ms. Rachel's free labor (thank YOU!!!)


$6 step stool - Jax loves this (Momma bought it in Canton and painted it the same as the bed)


The best bargain of the room - FREE Chest - One of our neighbors was throwing it away - Momma had a vision with some sanding, paint and new hardware - we love how it turned out! :)


Loved these little $3 accents from Hobby Lobby, they match some of the items he already had in the nursery, so we splurged a little and got them! :)





The other great news.... most of you know our 4th bedroom was turned into a playroom so we don't ever have a place for company to stay since we have had both kids. They end up sleeping on the floor on an air mattress or on the couches in the living room. Now that Jaxon has a queen bed his room can double as a guest room when we have company and he will get "the boot" for a couple of nights and probably have to sleep with Kinley in her room! :) So what I'm saying is... we love company - COME VISIT! :)

Kansas Easter 2011

This year went spent Easter weekend in Kansas with all 10 Oakley Cousins. We celebrated Gma Oakley and Daddy's birthdays, decorated eggs, went to the Northside Egg Hunt and the egg hunt at Great Granny's, and the other exciting news was we got to meet our two newest cousins - Brody and Jordyn. Here are some pics of our great weekend!

The TWINS!


Gma, Kinley, Jax and Gpa

Jax is SOOOO Lucky!!!!

Not every guy has a personal stylist to help him get dressed up for special events like watching a rented movie...

I stayed in Tyler - ALL BY MYSELF!!!

Jaxon got to stay in Tyler all by himself for some alone time with Gma and Gpa Coleman. He had a great time and did lots of fun stuff the 5 days he was there. When I asked him what his favorite part of the trip was he said, "Gma Kerry" (sorry Gpa), I asked him again and he said, "Talkin on the phone" (he did do that alot cause he had to call home to talk to Kinley and Mom and Dad). I reminded him about the zoo and the animal museum and of course then those things and McDonald's became his favorite parts. Sounds like over all he had a great time and loved having Gma and Gpa all to himself!

These are a few pics Gma Kerry took of our little man and sent us while he was away!

Birthday Weekend in Tyler!

Gma Kerry, Daddy and Gpa Tom all have birthday's within a week of each other so last weekend we all went to Tyler to celebrate. Here are some pics of the weekend celebration. Jaxon stayed in Tyler with Gma and Gpa so we'll have a report on that adventure in the next post! :)

"Ooody and Buzz Year"

"Ooody and Buzz Year" also known as "Woody and Buzz Light Year" were Jaxon's favorite characters at the Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3 show this week. A big thanks to Uncle Troy for the great Christmas present! We had great seats on row 10 of the floor risers and Jaxon LOVED it! You would think this 2 year old (active) boy would have trouble sitting through the show, but not Jax - he was obsessed with characters and can't believe he got to see the real "Oooody and Buzz Year!"
