The King Of The House

I had to post this pic, I find Braxton sitting like this a lot. He thinks he is the king around here. He dose so many funny little things its nice to catch some of them on camera.

Kitchen Project

So this was the kitchen project this winter. Candice had the idea of getting rid of the small cabinet next to the fridge, moving the fridge over, and putting it into the wall so the kitchen would be wider, about two and a half to three feet wider. I took the first pic after the cabinet was already pulled out, I always forget to take them before I start. Then I had to cut out some drywall where the fridge was going to go. The fun stuff was moving the light switches to the other wall. I did drill a little wide the first time and made a hole in the wall next to where they were going to go so I had to patch it. Luckily we had bought extra tile so I could break out some of the old stuff that I did 2 years ago and redo it to match the pattern that we did with the cabinet there. Last was the worst part, in the last pic you see the cabinet that we had made to put next to the fridge to bring the wood back to the other side of the kitchen, when I cut the hole for that I had to move the water lines that ran over to the sink. The cabinet had to go right over where they were. I extended the lines and pushed them to the side and put the cabinet in the wall. Only one injury during the whole process, I managed to smash Bryce's finger between the wall and the cabinet as he was helping me lift it into place. In all I think Candice had a great idea and I should have done it when she first told me she wanted to, witch was about a year and a half ago. I kept putting it off telling her it would be a long project, come to find out it only took about two days worth of work.

Family Pictures

Family Pictures

holloween costumes

Ok so my kids are not the most cooperative kids when it comes to taking pictures so of course I had to bribe them. With the twins all you have to say is that you will give them chocolate and they would do just about anything, but Kota demanded a whole days worth of allowance...which it a whole quarter hee, hee, hee

BrynLee is so excited that she gets to be a "princess" for Halloween that she even let me do her hair, which at our house is usually kind of an ordeal lol...

BrynLee and Braxton are going to be a Princess and prince hence the outfits, but Dakota just had to be "Iron Man" and of course the costume is one of those spandex with fake muscles and I'm sorry but it is so dorky. so instead of having him ruin these pictures I made him put on the tux that he wore at Bret's wedding. I know its kind of mean but just picture this picture with a corny Iron Man costume in it lol... He can get those pictures on Halloween.

When I showed Steve this picture he laughed and said that it was weird. I asked him why and he said that when the kid look at it they will think its gross because they are brother and sister... I just thought it was cute, that shows the difference between men and women I guess.

Kotas first day of school

I cant believe that Dakota is Kindergarten, time goes way to fast. He continues to crack us up all the time. I swear he is 5 going on 30 lol. So far he loves it and he likes his teacher (even though I think that she is kind of crazy, but that's a long boring story so well skip it). His teacher told me that she has caught him falling asleep in class a couple of times and we think that he is just getting board. She sent a note home asking us to think about getting him tested for Alps. It kind of made me laugh a little because as a parent it is great to think that your child does well in school but in the back of mind Ill always remember that as a kid I thought that the kids in the alps class were weird or nerds lol. Its funny how things like that just automatically pop into your head.

OK I had to throw this picture in because the night before the first day of school he actually practiced this pose in front of me and the mirror,and asked if he looked cool. What a spazz lol

OK I know that whoever reads our blog is most likely laughing at me right now because I never update it and now I am writing about a trip that we took two months ago but oh well, that's me. In June we went with Betsy and Gentry to their house in Mesquite alone with two other couples that are their friends as well. We had a great time because everyone was so funny, and we spent most of the time laughing. It was relaxing and fun because both Steve's and my parents took the kids so that there were no kids (hurray!). We ended up going to Vegas and just basically walking the strip, but because of great company it was the funniest time we have had in a long time. We made new friends and got away from life for a few day (we wished it was longer lol) so what more can u ask for. Thanks Betsy and Gentry!

Our night in Vegas... Me, Laura, Betsy, and Adrian

Everyone having a good time eating and getting out of the heat in a really expensive restaurant lol.

We had a great time but it was about 107 degrees that night in Vegas.

What studs lol. Steve, Gentry, Ian, and Mike.
