Weekend Project

It only took 4 trips to Lowe's and the floor is looking great, they finished at 2:00am. Late night, but it's done. I am still cleaning up dust. It was fun to have the Down's over. The kids get along really well. The door to the kitchen has been open all day. It's so nice out there. The kids have been playing in and out all day long. In our shed we have tons of boxes that they were playing with and on the side of the house we have the in closed trailer parked there to use for packing. We haven't seen Trey or Nixon for awhile and I found them inside the trailer emptying out all the packed boxes for the move. Crazy kids. I wish I would of gotten a pix of it cause it was pretty funny, but frustrating too. How can you be mad at them? It was okay to play with the other boxes. They were very sweet and said there sorry. Even though Trey said it was all Nixon!! Boy's will be boy's..

A New Year

We celebrated by going to dinner at Goodwood BBQ and helping celebrate Bo's BIG "30th" Birthday !!

Then we were off to Nampa to visit the Down's. We haven't been out there for a really long time and Melissa is due in a couple of weeks. When we got there they were trying to put their boys down and we interrupted and they ended up staying up for another hour. Since it's been awhile Shaydon in now walking and they just loved that. They were running around yelling, screaming, showing off and just playing!! They brought out a side of Shaydon we haven't seen. They got along so well. I guess it's just nice to have visitor's!!!

Thanks for welcoming the new year in with us.

Monday Night Football

Shaydon had fun playing with Treyton and Nixon. Between basketball, sidewalk chalk and just crawling around. They were pretty dirty! So we put them all in the bath together. This was another first for Shaydon!! They had fun with the spider man bubbles, toys and splashing every where.

Nixon is sooo excited and Shaydon is just chillen' with the boy's

Thanks for such a GREAT time Down's!!!
