Gabe's first day of Kindergarten

Gabe started Kindergarten last Tuesday the 26th.
He has been excited all summer long!
He was a little disappointed that we live too close for him to ride a bus.
But the fact that he can ride his bike to school makes up for it. Adam also loves that we get to ride bikes!

So far he loves his teacher and has made a friend (he can't ever remember his name) and loves to play on the monkey bars at recess!!

Birthday pics

Here are Adam and Kate's free birthday portraits from Kiddie Kandids. They weren't really cooperating but the pics still turned out cute. Kate kept her lips clamped tight together and was trying with all her might not to smile. The girl finally had her blow on the featherduster she was tickling her with and we got a smile!



Adam wouldn't let the girl pose him and wouldn't smile at her either. She finally talked to him about Spiderman and that made him happy. Although, I was really sad that you couldn't really see Adam's dimples.

Happy Birthday Adam!!








Yesterday was Adam's 2nd birthday.

Since Jeff was out of town, we had his party over the 4th of July (along with Nate's 30th bday)!

I can't believe he is already 2! He has got to be our funniest kid and he knows it! He is usually happy and stares at you with his big bright blue eyes and his beautiful long eye lashes!


Happy birthday to our funny little man!!




.

I also never got around to posting any firework pics, so here they are. The kids loved sparklers and are very excited for the 24th (pioneer day) when we get to do some more!!

Jeff's 30th birthday!



So I finally borrowed a USB cord for our camera...and here are some pics to commemorate Jeff's 30th birthday-which was May 16th!

I made him that awesome pirate hat cake and he went on a treasure hunt with the kids to find his presents-a new set of golf clubs, golf balls, tees and a shirt. I know it was only last month but I can't exactly remember what he got or what we did for fun to celebrate his birthday. But I do know that he had a good day and is ready to leave his twenties behind!!
Happy Birthday last month Jeff!!!
Gabe also wanted me to post some pictures of his new lizard--Fatty.

New House!

For those of you who don't know, we are closing on our house in 2 weeks! We are very excited although it is a bit of a fixer upper! It was built in 1969 and I think most of it's decor is the original!

So for anyone who is interested, we will be having some popcorn ceiling scraping, wallpaper ripping, paneling removing parties!!

Here are some pics of our soon to be beautiful home!
This is the red bedroom. You can't see it, but along the ceiling line of this room there is a string of red pompoms that is glued to the wallpaper!
This the masterbedroom. It has some lovely dark paneling! We are just hoping that it was nailed on and not glued on!
This pic is a little dark but this is the upstairs bathroom. The walls have been covered in a mosaic of colored carpet squares!
This is our basement family room. Complete with a rock wall and you can't see it, but behind that black stripper pole (with bench) is an indoor waterfall feature!
I loved this home the minute I walked into it! It's gonna be a lot of work, but I'm ready for it!
P.S. Anyone willing to paint or help with renovations is more than welcome! :-)
