If These Walls Could Talk

i started my

"black & white wall"
b.s.

(before sam)

when i lived in my condo

i took some of my very favorite pictures

set them to black and white

and (with lots of help from my mom)

framed away

after sam and i got married

i figured i should add some more

there is one from when we started dating,

a few from our honeymoon and wedding,

some of favorite babies

(before i had my own)

mom and dad's wedding

our wedding

robbie chewing on what's left of a roasted marshmallow :)
love this picture of

great grandma thompson (my great grandma)

with dad at his high school graduation
sexy feathered hair

Then came jackamo and

my stairwell

or would it be staircase??

anywho

i ran out of wall space going up the stairs

and he was just too cute

to not black and white every single picture

of every breath he took.

i needed to start a new black and white wall

but change it up...

black frames :)

it really was hard picking out which pictures

i was gonna put up

(mind you jack was only 5 months

when i did this wall and there were hundreds to choose from)

oh my sweet handsome future husband

gotta love that face!

love love love these pictures

up top is sammy's grandma duke

i wish with all my heart i could have met her

she is vicki's mom

her name was Lilian

and if this baby is a girl

we are going to name her

after her

the middle is jackamo and nana

(sammy's mom)

she's an amazing nana

and loves jack more than i think she

thought possible

on the bottom is GG LePore

that is sammy's grandma

Vera

we are very blessed to have this

great grandma in our lives

mauh!

auntie whitty and buddy

i am sure they were shopping :)

my mom made me this frame for

my 30th birthday

she did lots of photo shoots with
jackamo when she watched him

i'm thinkin he wasn't feelin

the leprechaun hat

mom also made this one

on the right is

me and my 14 year old dad

:)

okay i lie he was at least 19
and on the left is jackamo

and my dad

in the same bunny suit

would have been even more impressive if my

dad could still fit into his

powder blue suit!!

and this is my favorite picture evah!

buddy and daddy buddy

sleeping in laguna...

be still my heart

as sammy was hanging all these pictures

he said that either we needed to stop having kids

or get a house with more walls...

:)

looks like neither of those things are happening

but i do have a beautiful blank wall in my kitchen

and wanted to do something

unique with it

so we started a

Hook Wall

and can i just say

i am in LORVE

robbie bought us the "L"

when we moved into this house

and the other two are just fun finds

it's hard to tell but the umbrella is red

so stinkin cute!

this one was my christmas present

from jen

so cute

and lilacs are

my favorite flowers

and since they don't grown well in the desert

(trust me. my dad has bought me many lilac bushes)
it makes me happy to have them in my kitchen

horrible blurry picture

vik bought us this
hook/beer opener

it's jack's woof woof now

and he kisses it goodnight everyday!
plus it reminds me of cigar

RIP bud!

i was just so excited about my pretty walls

i thought i would share

and if you ever find yourself thinking

"i love nikki so much and i just wanna buy her something"

wink wink

i like hooks

and lilacs

please no glitter or feathers :)

ps: i really do need more walls, there's another on the way
