"Crazy Hair Day"

Bunk Bed!

We finally got the boys a bunk bed! Yea! More importantly, it is put together! (Good job, B!) It was long over due...the boys share a small bedroom and Trevor was still in a toddler bed! The bunk bed looks great in there and they love it!

Child-like Faith!

Those of you who live around here know that it is HAILING right now! I just had to post this because it was just too cute! I was looking out the window at the hail and I said to the boys, "Wow! It's really coming down! And Dad is outside working in this!" Gavin said, "Yeah! We should pray for him!" I said, "Yes, we should! Who wants to pray?" So, Trevor raised his hand and said, "I do!" This was his prayer... "Dear Lord, thank you for Dad, and thank you for Dad to not get frozen. And thank you, Lord, for it to stop hailing so Dad will not turn to ice! Amen!"

The Wait is Over...

Ok, ok...I will blog! Remain calm! I guess I do have a lot to report, but I will pace myself so that I will have something to post everyday! (Yeah right! We'll see if that happens! Ha!) On Friday, I chaperoned Trevor's field trip to the Children's Museum. We'll start with pictures of that. Here ya go...

Children's Museum Pictures

The Return...

Here are the pictures...

I don't have "before" pictures, but it was just white, before. I painted the chairs this summer and then ran out of motivation. (Yes, it's true...we only have three chairs.) Doesn't it look great!?

Busy Weekend!

I was trying to put some pictures on here but blogger isn't letting me. Big surprise. I guess they'll have to wait. On Thursday, I finally finished my dining room table! It looks SO good! (Those were the pictures. I'll try to post them later.) I thought I should take advantage of the few nice days we were having, since I was needing to take the table outside to paint it. Plus it helped that my Aunt Wanda offered to come over and help me! And, since we were taking advantage of the beautiful weather, when we were done with the table, we took Wanda's convertible to go pick Gavin up from school! I wish I had thought to take the camera with me! The smiles on the boys' faces were priceless! They had so much fun! Friday night I went to a women's thing-a-madoo with Kim at her church. Saturday I scrapbooked all day with my mom and two of her friends. Saturday night, Zach, Kim and all their boys met us at skate night. Then, Kim and I (and the baby) went shopping at the Super Mall. Between the two of us and the baby and MANY shopping bags and NO STROLLER...we got quite the workout! We must have been a sight! Ha! It was a needed shopping trip, for real. Gavin has out grown all of his jeans. Sunday, of course, was church and the Super Bowl, which we went to Andrew and Rosanna's to watch. So, it has been a fun filled few days, but now I need a nap!

Blogging now!

Ok, FINE! I will blog! I make no promises to be exciting, though. Let's see...well, I ran a mile today! Yippee! I've been going over to Kim's house two or three times a week, for a while now, to use her treadmill. This week I increased my running time and pace so I did a 13 minute mile. I'm on the treadmill for a half hour, though, regardless. I just walk before and after I run. Kim found a marathon in Oregon that she wants to do and it just so happens to coincide (I don't think I've ever actually written that word before!?) with the time we want to go on vacation to Wyoming. Here's the cool part, we could go down there with them for a day, to cheer her on, "on the way" to Wyoming AND...they have a KIDS triathalon (sp?) that all of the boys can do together! They start out by going down a water slide into a pool that they "splash" through, then they ride their bikes for a mile or two, then they run for a 1/4 mile! And they all get t-shirts and medals when they finish! Gavin is so excited! He said, "I want you to sign me up right now!" It's not a done deal, yet, but we're going to look into it. Lets' see, what else? Gavin is doing great in school, of course. (As is Trevor.) He just got his progress report and he is doing "outstanding" in everything. He was even chosen to be an "alternate" for the spelling bee in Seattle, tomorrow! Which, means that he doesn't actually get to go unless someone else can't make it, but he still has to practice all of the words! Ha! It's a good thing he enjoys it! We are very proud of him! This doesn't have anything to do with anything, but Gavin asked me the other day if we are going to celebrate his 7 and half year old birthday on February 4th! I told him we could do that, but not to expect any presents! Ha! Well, Evey, I think you're pestering paid off! (And you too, Dave!) You were right, I have more to talk about than I think! I'll try not to wait eleven days next time!
