"Busy-ness" around here

We have been super busy this weekend, but it's been so much fun! I am so excited to post pictures of the girls' room that David has been working on! It looks so AWESOME! I couldn't be happier with the way it's turned out. David finished the trim on the bottom and the styles on the corners yesterday and then came the sanding and finishing of filling nail holes, caulking and more sanding and then cleaning out the room and vacuuming the saw dust to get ready for PAINT! While that was going on, I was cleaning out the saw dust and left over wood in the garage so the van could be parked in there again. Then I took Melanie and Cameron to Home Depot to pick out the pink paint. I was a little nervous. You think you know what color, and then you get there and there are so many different shades to choose from that you forget what you really want. So after that we painted the beadboard and shelf last night white and we couldn't go to bed until we tested out the pink above that. We finally crashed after midnight! So I will post pictures in a few more days...

We have plans to go to the park and shoot off the rocket that Cameron got from G&G Lee later. The kids will love it! Then we are going to do some t-ball practice. Cameron's first game is on Tuesday. This is his first year of doing it and so he has a few things to learn still. Jason is going to be so jealous. He is much more of a sports fan than Cameron. Jason is all about balls and even sleeps with them at night! He was definetly "born to play!" It should be a nice evening activity.

My kids watch Dora and will randomly count to 10 in spanish and say various spanish words. Melanie really like it. Yesterday the kids were helping me clean the garage and David was cutting a board and was talking in Spanish to himself and Melanie says "daddy speaks spanish like me!" It was hilarious. She thinks she knows spanish! I love it when the kids make me laugh.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
