Thanksgiving 2008

November 27,2008

Thanksgiving was with the Coleman's this year. We had it at Jim and Lisa's church and had a wonderful time. The kids put on a little play that they made up for everyone. And Grandma Coleman is still with us. She is such a dear lady.
I love this time of year. We just had all the excitement of Halloween and now comes the joyful time. Thinking about all that we are Thankful for keeping Christ in our thoughts a little bit more than we usually do.
I am so grateful for my fantastic husband who keeps me laughing and happy and my two beautiful kids who are my whole world! It was a great day filled with Family and good food!
We also went to the movies and saw Bolt. We all loved it.

I made a Cowboy Costume for Josh!

October 21, 2008

So Kathi told me that Joshie wanted to be a cowboy for Halloween and she was strapped to find a costume. Couldnt fine one anywhere! I was at Walmart and found a pattern and thought what the heck... might as well try!
I was so excited with the way it turned out! Ty modeled it for me before I mailed it up to Josh. The vest was reversable with a cow print on the inside.
Kathi reported that he loved the hat, vest and guns! Woohoo! Love happy endings! Who knew I could do that?!?!?!

Mom Treated us to the Transiberian Orchestra Concert

November 13, 2008

My darling mom treated us all to a concert tonight! I had never been to a Transiberian Orchestra Concert before and it was quite the experience. It was like Manheim Steamrollers on AcId! But it was awesome! Mom, Grandma, Steph, Me, Andy, Joanie and Vicki. We ate dinner at Sizzler before and then went to the concert at the E center.
Thanks mom! You are the best!

My Little Sleeping Artist

November 7, 2008

I was busy on the computer in the living room and hadnt heard anything from Emily for quite a while so I got up to go look for her. I ended up finding her on the floor in the kitchen between the stove and island. She had been coloring and gotten sleepy and fell asleep right there on the floor. It made me smile so I had to take a few pictures.

Finishing Part of the Basement

November 7, 2008

Woohooooo! I have the most exciting news! We are going to finally finish the basement with the exception of the main room where Kenny holds his LAN parties. We had a few companies come out and give us a bid for the sheetrock/tape/mud job and one of the contractors suggested that we knock out the door at the end of our stairs and open up that hallway so that we dont have a door opening up to a bunch of doors. We will have a food storage room and a kitty litter room at the end of the stairs on the left and then double doors on the right into the main room.
We are also finishing the hallway in the back. There will be storage under the stairs and doors on the storage room and utility room. Double doors on the room to the right that will be our playroom/exerccise room and on the left side will be our office. We have just started the framing and I have a HUGE mess of boxes to go through and scale WAYYYYY down but it is sooo exciting to see progress!
