Every day January fun!

These pictures are things we have done this month.
Tyler and Tate got new bunk beds (a Christmas present).
I recorded Adele and Emily for an hour while they danced to music I found on "playlist".
Tyler and Adele rescued a kitten that Bud was "playing" with. It had to come inside to recover. It entertained the kids while I painted.
The flowers and the helmet were all Adele. I thought is was cute their is a piece of foam under the towel you can't see.
Tate eating his Birthday cake batter.
Adele and Tate bowled in the kitchen with the "simple orange"containers I was saving for dry packing.
Last of all Tate playing with his Christmas soccer ball.

Painting on my Mind

This in the view from my front door/back door.
Two days after Christmas my sister in laws helped me tier of the the wallpaper in the kitchen and mudroom. It came off surprising well. Since that point it has not gone to "smooth". I just wont go there! Three coats of primer and three coats of paint later I'm "finished". My friend helped me with the strips, and they are much straighter than they would have been had she not been there to help.

The new bed spread and vinyl flowers on the wall are the after Christmas surprise I was referring to in a previous post. (not a baby announcement).

My brother and sister did this vinyl for my wall last weekend.

The kitchen is not quit done.
I (we) want to put up a chair rail and some wains coating (?).
The shelf is also going up tonight (cross my fingers).

This is a better look at the strips.

He had a hard time believing it!

The on Month of December I was obsessed with looking at the ATV on the KSL classifieds. Why you wonder. Tyler's letter to Santa said he wanted a surprise. I new he really wanted a four wheeler, but was afraid to ask for one. So I go addicted checking the new ads that came up hourly. He never did catch me looking at the adds! We ended up finding a 50cc just outside of Brigham City. Cam and I went and picked it up on our annivasary. We had it in the back of the pickup when we went to the temple. We hid the 4 wheeler in a grain bin in the barnyard (that I had never been in before). We got snowed in at my parents house, and did not go home until the day after Christmas. We wrapped the key in a small box with all the kids names on it. It was the last to be opened. Tyler made guesses to what the key was for, but was not convised it was not just his Dad teasing him. We all got dressed in our snow clothes and went looking for it. He did not really believe until he say it. Both Tyler and Adele could not wait to ride it. Grandpa cleared the snow by the grainbine and then went and cleared snow in the field to make a track for them to drive on. I think he was just as excited as we were. (Thanks Grandpa!)


Our puppy loved it the most. He could chase the kids with out them crying.


Tate's favorite gift was a snow shovel.
