Oh-MY

Well it has been a very busy past two weeks. We started painting our home. We started in our entry way and have worked our way upstairs. So far we have painted two colors. Coco Brown and a mossy green. We are waiting for the tan color for a full day. Since we have to put on two coats we have stayed up a few late nights.

Well in between painting we took some time off to go to the circus in Grand Forks with Papa Doug and the cousins Halle and Macy. We had a very good time.

Also during this time Jason was able to get this little bike up and running for Braden. Uncle Tim and auntie LaVonne purchased this bike over 30 years ago for a cousin of Jason's. It has been past down many times. Even Jason rode this bike! They were both very excited to see it up and running. Braden has been quite disappointed that it has rained every day this week except on Tuesday when Jason finished fixing the bike. I was quite surprised that Braden would even ride the bike.

Here is Jason telling Braden what he can and can not do!

Ava at the circus. Isn't she cute!

Here is my glass tile back splash for my kitchen. We are using all of the colors from this tile except the gray.

Here is the burnt orange before.

Here are Ava and Braden painting the hallway going down stairs. Yes, they are in there under ware because they do not have any old clothes. AND Yes, they were both covered in paint! It is hard to tell in this photo but, Ava is painting the harvest gold wall (and yes! It was harvest gold that I painted 4 years ago) and Braden is painting on the pumpkin orange wall.

I know you are all wonder...did those color match? Yes they did!

I hope you are all doing well! I will try and keep posting every week or so.

April 2009

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all having a nice spring!

We have been very busy around here. Braden is learning so much at school, it is unbeleivable what they are learning in kindergarten. He already know how to read and I might add very well. He is doing great in school and loves going every day. He said that he will miss his teacher once he goes to 1st grade. Did you know that school will be out in less the 2 months. WOW where does the time go!

Ava has been busy also. She is learning lots also. It is amazing on what she can do and what she can remember. She even likes using big words. She is always is surprising Jason and I with her attitude and boy does she have one. She is defiant a 2 year old not gone to 3 but 13.

Jason has been busy with work and of coarse I have a long list of fun things to do this spring. We are getting ready to plant garden outside again this year and he will also mow the lawn at the Solway cemetery for extra spending money. Tonight he just got his motorcycle out for the spring and it just started up fine. He was able to take it for a little spin around the development even.

I have been busy with doing my stamping and having more parties at my home each month. Even though I am busy with my stamping I am going to try and update the whole house. I started in the bathroom by staining the vanity I will paint and do new fixtures in that room also. The floor look or for now. This weekend I will be painting the living room, kitchen, dining room along with the entry way and hallway. I will post photos at a later date to show you how open this is. To show you why I have to do it all at once.

This is Braden tonight after school. The first bike ride of the spring.
Ava and her trike and wow she can ride. Last year he legs where to short for the peddles.

Ava and Braden coloring Easter eggs.

Here is the bathroom cupboards that I stained. It was a very light color and I just made it about two shades darker.

Here is Ava and I with Ava's new dress I made for here. (I am pinning the straps for her sun dress.) I made three of them to wear this summer. She loves wearing dress so she can be a princess.
