water doesn t taste like mold and the dishwasher is super quiet i m in love kitchen 2 a microwave that doesn t pop the breaker every 3rd time i use it and an oven that heats predictably it s really the simple things in life living room 1 now this is the exciting part after watching children ravage my sofa for the last 11 years i got new furniture if you re in the market cococo home is great for your custom furniture needs save for the ottoman josh and i built that living room 2 with a gas fireplace seriously can not wait for winter living room 3 kitchen 3 kind of unnecessary to have three pictures of my living room but i am in love with my furniture apparently my phone takes really blurry pictures sorry stairs entry way my home is where the heart is project finally has a home house

awesome custom work 4 the guest room we don t have any furniture in it yet but don t fear future guests it s on the to do list 5 the laundry room i spend too much time in there as it is desperately missing the susquehanna ward just had to add that because it s true posted by brooks at 6 23 pm 6 comments labels army home pictures my baby a daughter is the happy memories of the past the joyful moments of the present and the hope and promise of the future paige christine d arbra gailey welcomed at 12 17 pm on the 6th of april 2015 all 7 lbs 13 oz 20 inches adored by oh and her parents surprising us at 4 30 in the morning the day after easter despite a scheduled induction date she came into the world on her own terms which is probably a good way to start seeing as how she is our fifth child and the baby of our completed family she loves to eat and burp she smiles occasionally and spits up regularly she has a long list of dislikes including but not limited to sleeping car rides pooping thrush laying down sleeping not pooping binkies loud noises strollers and sleeping and yet we wouldn t want it any other way a sister is a gift to the heart a friend to the spirit a golden thread to the meaning of life isadora james posted by brooks at 4 31 pm 1 comment labels babies paige pictures saturday march 23 2013 sister three men and a little lady these are some very proud big brothers can you tell just as they should be when you ve got something this adorable laying around at home just waiting to be snuggled with let me tell you about her claire emelia gailey came into the world at 9 21 the evening of february 20th 2013 following a lengthy induction and an expired epidural weighing in at 8 lbs 8 2 oz at a petite 20 1 4 inches perfect and healthy with all ten fingers and ten tiny beautiful toes and oodles of soft brown hair she was blessed on sunday march 3rd 2013 she sleeps about as much as these photos would suggest unless you stop by our house between midnight and 2 00 am she is super easy going and yes she already loves pink mommy says so claire the moment i met you i swear i felt as if something somewhere had happened to me which i couldn t see and then the moment i met you again i knew in my heart that we were friends it had to be so it couldn t be no but try as hard as i might do i don t know why you get to me in a way i can t describe words mean so little when you look up and smile i don t care what people say to me you re more than a child oh claire gilbert o sullivan a giant thank you goes out to the very talented seth halsey for the awesome photographs you undoubtedly just enjoyed we are obviously thrilled with how they turned out thank you again posted by brooks at 12 00 am 8 comments labels babies pictures sister friday january 4 2013 mission nursery complete we have been crazy busy around here lately too busy in my opinion then again who isn t with church callings family school work doctor appointments holidays and most of all trying to finish up the nursery for baby claire all while being 7 months pregnant no doubt poor josh has been put through the ringer way too many days and nights spent in the garage stripping sanding and repainting furniture i am happy to report that it was all worth it and the nursery is done we needed a new dresser as our old one is occupied with clothes for our boys and i had a vision of rescuing an old lovable antique from craigslist and giving it new life and purpose not to mention getting it on the cheap not so much turns out people here know what that kind of stuff is worth and we couldn t find anything that fit our criteria and wasn t completely unusable for under 600 we settled for haggling with this dude at an antique mall and got the little beauty above for a fair price and so it began josh settled into that project plus a few more and i picked up a few of my own in november i had my first baby shower ever held over veteran s day weekend in oklahoma a huge thank you to all those who came especially my awesome friend morgan who came all the way from dallas the fabulous ladies who put it on knew that i needed some fancy frames for a few craft projects i had in mind and boy did they deliver theresa laralyn chrissy and tiffany i love and miss you all so much you can see below as i get my craft on the sign is obviously word art and the beautiful pink towel on the table became an accent pillow later in the day come i will show you pictures sadly the ones above are all the before shots i got oh wait there s this one nevertheless without further ado i present the finished product both of these are the view from the door we painted the boys old crib and glazed it i finally got some new bedding thanks for the gift card theresa and lara it might seem really neutral for a mother of three boys about to have her first and only girl i wanted it that way i was going for sweet rather than cute something calming and not overdone i think it works at least i feel calm when i walk into it looking at the crib from the rocking chair s perspective i l o v e the way the button art turned out super easy too and the delicate pink ornate frame really sets it off inside the crib is the baby s moses basket the very same one i used for both sloan and mason it fit in with the color scheme perfectly that might have been by design wasn t sure where to put it until the big day so it s sitting in the crib if you don t have one i highly recommend them for babies 0 6 months my mural i woke up one morning with this in my head no joke i searched the internet and found the exact vinyl tree i wanted only problem that they didn t make them in a size big enough i found others naturally at pottery barn kids for 450 um no but they didn t come in the colors that i wanted i knew it had to be painted so i e mailed my sister to have a vinyl stencil made for it being super scared as i am to mess anything up but she was busy i finally gritted my teeth bought an overhead projector old school baby off craigslist and drew and hand painted it on the wall i think it looks pretty good there are a couple of spots where the graphite shows through but all in all i am happy with the result i even carved a little heart with the first and middle initials of each of my babies the dresser you can scroll back up to the before shot but i think that it turned out great josh stripped sanded painted and glazed the whole thing and then we ordered pink crystal knobs from hobby lobby the details in the woodworking set off by the glaze really make it delicate and feminine add a changing pad and a basket of essentials and i think that it s a perfect grow with me changing table the bow holder above it was another of my diy projects it s a twin frame to the button art just with chicken wire added to clip the bows to as you can see she already has quite the collection it s a weakness of mine oh and just so you know i am aware that the bow holder is off center we did that on purpose so that i can order small canvases of our infant sibling photo shoot to go there there i go using the old think box my diy pillows i m pretty proud even if pillows are the easiest thing to make i used leftover material from the frames for the tan one and the before pictured pink towel makes up the other one i was looking for pre made pillows at home goods after an obgyn visit and couldn t find anything i happened to walk through the bath section and came across some super soft ralph lauren towels on the cheap in the perfect pink that i was looking for fate they were super fun to make though please note that if you intend to cut up a towel it makes a mess mason was playing with the pink snow all morning i would have liked to paint the rocking chair to complete the set but i received this as a christmas gift when i was seven years old and couldn t bring myself to do it too many memories to change it and there you have it our spare time labor of love for the last two months now we re just waiting for our other labor of love to put in it we are all so excited the boys can hardly wait to see baby claire and talk of little else as long as i am in sight and my belly is suddenly community property for kisses hugs soft words and rubbing this poor little girl is in trouble she s got three wonderfully doting and overprotective big brothers already heaven help the first boyfriend she tries to bring home brooks and baby claire at 32 weeks 2 days posted by brooks at 1 46 pm 10 comments sunday november 18 2012 cute videos so i promised some cute videos of my kids a while ago and didn t get around to uploading them until now sorry about that but i hope you enjoy mason is reading us his current favorite bedtime story cuddle gosh that baby is cute and big too sigh as i ve mentioned in previous posts sloan is a music lover it s in his blood he sings the loudest every time we are in the car and requests all his favorites here he is singing a solo to all i have to do is dream by the everly brothers wait for it he gets more and more adorable every day what do you think his stage name should be posted by brooks at 6 09 pm 1 comment wednesday september 26 2012 happy february today at my ultrasound while the technician had a hard time getting the baby to cooperate at all she also could find no evidence of boy parts something we ve never experienced so for all tentative intents and purposes we anticipate a baby girl in february of 2013 happy february indeed the entire family is excited and we can t wait to finally meet sister posted by brooks at 12 27 pm 15 comments thursday september 6 2012 finally settled so we ve been in maryland for a little over a month now it s been a crazy ride but i think that things here are finally to the point of settling down and we re getting into a routine that works for everyone josh works at the southern clinic in edgewood and is basically useless not that he is but we re not entirely sure that they even needed a dentist on this post he s done nothing but exams so far and only a handful of those here s hoping things pick up for him ethan and sloan started school i think that they are liking it other than there s a little boy that apparently picks on sloan on the bus not sure if i just let him handle it himself or if mama bear should step in the way she wants to i guess time will tell other than that the boys are adjusting well mason maybe not as much poor kid has no idea what to do without brothers all day and quite frankly mom has no idea what to do with him he s at that in between age where he doesn t need me as much and craves independence but is too young to go to school we re looking into pre school i think it might make all the difference here are my handsome boys on the first day of school ethan 3rd grade age 8 sloan kindergarten age 5 1 2 mason age 3 some seriously handsome boys here at the gailey home these are taken in front of our house here in maryland we live on post and so far enjoy it if only scared little brookie were not still scared to brave to commissary by herself the boys ride the bus to and from school sloan has full day kindergarten thank goodness because he has had 3 years of preschool the kid needed this i take them to the bus stop at 8 20 and they return to me at 4 00 not too shabby no wonder mason and i have no idea what to do with each other for so long our house in maryland the whole of it it s actually a duplex but i have yet to hear the neighbors so i forget it s anything different than the last 5 years have been it s roughly the same size as our vegas house for those who need a reference and we re the first to live in it score our kitchen loving all the cabinet space plus there s a pantry see next shot that is not in my laundry room i m in heaven breakfast nook and pantry door living room dining room it looks really cramped but really it s just cozy oh and mason showing off a toy car the office did i say that the kitchen was heaven i lied it actually was designed to be a formal living room but i have no use for one of those so we converted it into an office craft room ain t she purdy the hall standing between the living dining room kitchen and the front door office to the right is the powder room and the door you see is the coat closet toy storage and also visible the stairs master bedroom not much different from our last house in oklahoma but i still like it did i ever mention that josh built that headboard for me he loves me the nursery to be decorated accordingly to welcome 4 in february 2013 things unseen on this tour the boys bedroom it s always a mess i m working on letting them handle their own cleanliness a definite work in progress but it looks much the same as it did in oklahoma bathrooms no one actually wants to see those unless you ve just re done them cute you re not missing anything here backyard it s currently dirt it will be the home to a clubhouse and pool sometime in the year 2013 i m hoping for summer but at the rate they seem to be going on it it s likely to open just in time for christmas i hope you enjoyed i will very soon be
