Homerama Tour #2

The Susanna by K homes

4,400 square feet $638,900 (sorry it was sold ;)

Another adorable kids room….

Cute robot room

 

Adorable princess room. I loved how the bed was in this alcove like a window seat.

 

I loved this green color in the bathroom with the pink in the bedroom. Pink and green are two of my favorite colors!

 

The kitchen…..wasn’t my favorite.

I loved the paint in this dining room.

Close up of the paint…I loved the flowers, they were metallic looking and so pretty.

I didn’t take pics of the bathrooms or master’s in all the homes. Some of the decoration I didn’t really like. It just seemed so plain or just not at all my style. If I had planned topost them all on here I would have……sorry!

On to house #3 tomorrow…..

100th Post!

I can’t believe this is my 100th post already! I have been thinking about something special I could post. Well, we went to Homerama tonight in Cincinnati. I thought I would take you all on a virtual tour of the city’s finest homes for my 100th post. So here we go….(if you aren’t interested just ignore the next few posts). There were only 5 houses this year. Mark and I said you know the economy is bad when there are only 5 houses, all of which were less than 1 million dollars. A few years ago there were like 10-12 houses all of which were over a million dollars! Anyway, I will post each house for the next 5 posts. I looked around fro signs about taking or posting pictures and didn’t see any so I hope I am not breaking any laws :)

5,819 Sq.feet     It could be yours for $799,900!!

My favorite part of the Homerama houses is almost always the nurseries and children’s rooms.

I loved the autumn decorations!

Can’t wait until we move so I can try this idea. I would love to replicate this frame with a large frame without the glass and inside little individual frames.

This was the basement decorated with a game theme. I loved these pillows spelling out game night!

Love the two colors of cabinets in this kitchen.

A great laundry room is a must!

I wish I would have taken more pictures! I always feel like I am holding up the line if I take too many. Anyway, stay tunes tomorrow for house #2!

A Few more pictures from vacation

My sister Heather got married while we were in Delaware. These are a few pictures from the wedding. My mom made the kids’ outfits. They were adorable!

These kids LOVE coffee. If they can get it they will drink it up! No sugar either….just cream and coffee like their Mommy and Mamaw!

Aww, sibling love!

This was taken the day we got back from the “cowboy show” Grayson and daddy were getting the bad guys!

I think we should be in the covered buggy with this many kids!

I can’t believe it but my next post is #100!!! Guess I should do something special and fun…..wonder what I could do, I’ll have to think about it….see you for post #100!

Strasburg Railroad

While we were in Delaware we went to the Strasburg Railroad one day. We took a ride on the train and stopped for a picnic lunch. It was so much fun. It was a beautiful day, in the 70’s with little to no humidity. Crazy for August in that part of the country. The kids loved the train!

Yummy picnic!!

Aunt Mooie and the babies

Papaw Harold and his boy

 

It was a great time. If you are ever in the Lancaster, PA area you should really go!

Vacation Pictures at Last

Hello again Blogworld! I have been MIA lately! We went on vacation to Delaware the last week in August and have been busy since we got back. I am finally getting around to sorting through the tons of pictures! Warning: Picture overload ahead! I am sharing the highlights of our trip over the next few days! We had so much fun and did a LOT!

The first day we were there we went to see my Dad’s horse “Ace”. Ace is a very expensive fellow! He had colic back in the fall and was treated at the hospital they took Barbaro to. He is all better now after a long recovery but boy did he rack up a bill!! Anyway, the kids loved riding him and got in the cowboy mode for our next adventure…..

…Frontiertown in Ocean City , MD. The kids call it the “cowboy show”. They had a shootout….

 

Our Little Cowboy and Cowgirl got in on the action from the sidelines!

We rode a little steam engine train and got robbed! See the bad guy coming towards us…

“Stick em up”

Don’t worry “Trooper” Grayson will get him!

Someone doesn’t seem very afraid!

  Next we went on a Stage coach ride

and it was not our day because we were robbed again!! Grayson was ready to protect us with his rifle again!

We then made our way to the indian village to see some dancing. Our little cowboy and girl turned into an indian boy and girl with face paint and feathers in their hair.

A FULL day of fun. The kids were knocked out on the way home!
