A few more..

And here is our precious Brock. In this picture he's 4 months, I'll soon be posting his 5 months. Time flys. He's so sweet and such a joy to have.

















These are our new couches that we got over Presidents Day weekend, we got a smoking deal on, also we got our dishwasher then too. I forgot to mention that but I had been washing all the dishes by hand for 5 months and then James put in the dishwasher. Which was a stressful moment all together considering James isn't quite the handyman yet. But he did it, no water leakage or power outage!
















I decided since I had so much paint leftover I just better paint our room, since it was this weird yellowish-golden color. Love the new color now.

Twilight Party

Liz invited me to a Twilight Party a girl in her ward was having and it was so much fun. It was hilarious how a bunch of older married girls go crazy over EDWARD..ahhh.



Longest Post Ever..

Well it's been a week since we've been back from Arizona and considering we were only there for technically 2 days, it took me a week to get back to normal. So here's a few pictures of what's been going on lately.
I came downstairs one night and this is what I found....Andee had dragged the potty in so she could continue with her show...wow.

















This is Max's favorite chew toy, so this is what it looked like after he got to it. And what's really bad is, that was the only pacifier Brock took, so yes I had to wash it really good and still use it or else it was bad news. So at church I got some pretty confused looks until luckily a lady in the ward has a friend that works at the nursery in the hospital and got me some new ones!









We finally got the kids some bikes. Andee does so good..Nick still learning.














Well Nick has tested our will not to kill him these past couple of weeks. First, I came downstairs one day to find Nick had taken a bag of shredded cheese out of the fridge and used it as confetti to the entire downstairs. And it was EVERYWHERE! In the couch coushions, behind and under...wow. Then on top of that, I had one of my Costco size soaps out, and he tipped that upside down and spin around the room...so I had soap mixed in with cheese. I leave some books in his room so at night if he can't sleep he can look at some books, well in the morning I found this book that used to make a buzzing sound when you flipped it open, with the motor completely ripped out of the book with the wires hanging out. Then just recentely, James needed a more reliable car for his new job, so we bought him a brand new car, well it was parked out front, near the parkstrip where there's rocks. The kids love to use the rocks as chalk but this one day, Nick decided to use it on James week old car. He took it to 3 different areas on the side, and scratched little circles in it. James took it to the buffer hoping it would take it out....nope. So now his 2 week old car needs a new paint job... I hope my 3 year old isn't the only one doing these things!




















I found a set of 4 chairs at the DI and decided it was time to re-finish my table since I've hated it and wanted to buy a different one. So here's the before and after pictures. If you can't tell, I distressed the table and chairs and the bench, took me forever, afterward I promised myself never again, but I'm glad I did.




So I got another crazy idea in my head to redo my kitchen. I was looking through a pottery barn catalog and saw the cute idea. This first picture is me thinking to myself "what have I done...". I started to rip it off the wall and realized I needed help so this is what James came home to the other night..hehe pretty funny. And again if you can't tell, I distressed my cabinets too. So I ripped out 2 cabinets out which makes my kitchen seem so much open now, I love it.
