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!

Halloween 2008

October 31, 2008

This was such a fun Halloween! Ty got Hulk Hands for his birthday this year and decided that he wanted to be the Hulk for halloween. I bought him a green shirt and drew a chest and muscles and then had green pants with brown pants over that i cut to look like shredded shorts. Ty's hair is really long so it was awesome when I spiked it up and sprayed it green. I must say I think he looks AWESOME!
Emily was a very sweet Tinkerbell.
We had fun at the Halloween parade at school. Ty wore his Stitch costume to school to watch Emily in the parade and was Hulk for Preschool and for Trick or Treating.
We also carved pumpkins at Grandma and Grandpa Coleman's house.
Our ward has a great Halloween party trunk or treat so we did that Halloween night and then went to visit both parents.
It was a really fun day!

Fun at Snowbird!!!

I took the kids up to Snowbird because Grandma Amann gave us the timeshare for the week. It was a total blast! I couldnt believe how many cute pictures I got of the kids. We took some nature walks and went up and played on the bounce house and bungee trampoline. My mom and Andy came up later and we all went swimming. It was so refreshing to be in mountains and see all the beauties of nature!
