Much better!!!

The painting was a little harder than I thought, I got the whole kitchen done.( It was supposed to be a little darker than the living room.) Then I moved on to the living and dining room and everything was going great. I loved the colors together, I went to bed feeling very proud of my accomplishments. When I got home from my morning running around to get things ready for my mom to help me with the second coat, I looked at the walls and they were all the same color. The paint had darkened that much that they ended up matching. I had to go back to Wal Mart and have them lighten the paint. We finally go it all done. We love the colors, and it makes the house feel so much warmer. The colors are actually quite a bit darker than the pictures show. My next project is re finishing our kitchen hutch in black to match our kitchen table. I have been watching too many shows on HGTV, but they have some really great ideas!!!

Thanks mom!!!!

Too much white

I have dicided that our house was way too plain, It needed some color and character. I almost forgot to take the befor pictures. We arn't aloud to do to much but I figured a coat of paint might help a bit.

Growing up way to fast!!!

Kalista has been begging to use the curling iron all by herself and today I finally gave in. She had a friendsbirthday party to go to and wanted to look just perfect. She did really well and only burned herself once. (I forgot to get a picture of the finished product.)

In like a lion.

I know the saying is in like a lion out like a lamb, but there was nothing soft and quiet about Kambrie when you put this hat on her. I bought it because she wasn't able to take it off on thoes really cold days and man does that make her mad. I don't think it will take her to long to figure it out.

Video Maniacs

Keaton finally got to invite a friend over after school to play video games. I realized that Keaton has never really had friends over. I just sat there and laughed at the two of them the whole time it was sooo funny. The boys seem to be just as giggly as the girls.( I don't think that they fight as much as girls do.)

Our library trip

Today the library was having the firefighters to visit with the kids. The kids were really excited. They are always excited to see the fire trucks with their lights on. This was a real treat. Kambrie wanted nothing to do with them. I think the best part of the whole thing for them was when they left and turned on all of the lights and sirens.



Keaton so excited to be in the fire truck.


Kalista couldn't of picked a better day to miss school.


Kalista volunteered to help the firefighters demonstrate
how to get ready for a fire.


I really hope that this doesn't give her any ideas of
what she thinks she wants to be when she grows up. I
don't think my heart could ever handle that. She does look
pretty cute though.

Fall is here! Time for pictures.

I took the kids out this morning because I needed new pictures to hang up. Since we moved I don't have any pictures of my kids up. Keaton did really well, and wasn't even doing his funny poses,(the rain may have helped that). Kambrie on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the camera, but when it wasnt pointing at her she would smile away. She is a little turkey.

A new pacifire

I took Kambrie's pacifire away a couple of weeks ago. It actually went pretty well, the first night she cried for only a little bit. Then she has decided she is really into baby dolls, and now she sleeps with her baby on her head almost every night.

Trooper!!!.

Kalistas hair turned out pretty cute. It stayed in most of the night and she didn't have that big of a headache.
