Decorating attempt: living room and thoughts on the kitchen...

So, we are having a Christmas party December 12th so I'm on a mad dash to make some decorations for our living room at the least. We have cathedral (I think that's what you call it) ceilings so we have these huge wall spaces that are weird shaped and we've never known what to put there. Well I think I've finally come up with some ideas so this week, I will be working on one of the big walls...we'll see if I can get it complete before we leave for Springfield on Wednesday. Here are the two walls I am dealing with.



I also have lofty goals of painting and decorating the kitchen as well....if I could only have a paint color that would match our ugly backsplash (which is tan and cream tiles) and medium brown cabinets. At first I was thinking tan, but then decided it would probably clash with the tan tiles in the backsplash and I wasn't too fond of a tan color to begin with because I don't think it would go well with our wood cabinets. Any ideas? Here are some picures of our kitchen currently (original paint and no decorations) :( As you can tell we need some help.

Videos!

There are so many videos I keep forgetting to put on here. Below are some of our favorites.

Fake sneezing in the tub. When Tyler was little I would fake sneeze (aaaaaahhhhh - chooo) and it would always make him laugh. So when he was about 11 months old he started doing it himself after anyone sneezed or even himself or if I said God Bless You. Jeremy caught him doing it while I was giving him a bath one night.

This is how we dance. A couple days ago we turned on some music and asked Tyler to dance and he just started spinning. Now we can spin or just ask him to spin and he just starts spinning in a circle.

Halloween

As you saw a couple weeks ago we went and picked pumpkins at a local farm so this past weekend, it was time to carve. We found some cool designs and Jeremy did a great job carving all the pumpkins. Tyler was Tigger for Halloween and we got some great shots with him and pumpkins.

Tyler's 1 year photo shoot!

We finally got our pictures back that we took when Tyler turned one. There were too many good ones and this is only a few of them. Thanks to Tim to who the pictures for us.
