Kev was the decision maker in giving the boys a buzz. I wanted to leave their hair just how it was! I guess it worked out alright. They just seem so much older. It'll work great for summer but I can't wait until it grows back! The boys love it! They think they look tough I guess that's a good thing!

4th of July weekend

Kev had Friday off so we decided to take the boys to the zoo. They had blast checking out all of the animals!

G was seriously trying so hard to put his hands straight out to his side and this is what he came up with! He cracks me up!

Little buddies/enemies (depending on the day)

After the Zoo we headed to the Owls game with our friends. It was so much fun to just hang out and watch some baseball.

Kev's hat was blocking the sun and he was not about to move it for the picture!

On the 4th we went swimming with my family. So fun!

West ate it up! He had a blast.

Wouldn't it be nice to be pushed around? I'd give anything.

Those are some sick goggles!

What?? He looks so amazingly innocent! I love him!

After swimming we went to my parents luscious back yard. I wish I would have taken more pictures. I'll have to show it off sometime. All I can say is it looks like a magazine cover! I wish it was mine.

My mom makes the best food. We ate and ate and ate!

We ended the night with a firework show at Thanks Giving Point with Kev's family. My amazing cousin performed while we were there. She is seriously the best. I will show you when she gets a cd out!

Waiting for the big show, which wasn't even big this year. It was kind of disappointing!

Kev's parents are awesome!

Kev truckin' the little guys around. I'm not going to lie, he looks pretty good doing it!

Taking the wagon was the best! It made the walk to the car so much better.

Well that about wraps it up! Sorry for all the pics. I didn't want to do another slide show and scare off anyone!

Garrett's 4th Birthday Bash

Garrett decided he wanted a pirate/swimming birthday party this year. He had such a blast with his cousins and friends! It was kind of a sad to see him turn a whole year older, but he is so much fun. He is growing way to fast, hopefully he won't be too cool for me this year!

Just thought you might need a good laugh

I was going through my pictures and I came across this one of G when he was five months old! That's right, I said FIVE months old! He was a chub and I loved it! He looks so serious.

I now have my life back.......

This has been quite a project!! I was so happy when Kev said he wanted to knock out the half wall and put in a rail. I don't think I realized what we were in for! Kev had the wall knocked down and the rail installed so fast. I think it took him half a day. Then we decided to stain it ourselves! Big mistake! We wanted it to match our cabinets in our kitchen so we found stain and started working on it. It wasn't too bad but we loaded the stain on! It turned out so dark and splotchy. It was so frustrating because we knew what it could look like and it wasn't looking good. We really didn't want to sand it but we did it anyway. NEVER again! It was the most time consuming, annoying, messy thing I've ever done! After 6 years of sanding we finished and tried staining it again and it worked! It looks great now and we're finally done! I'm so happy we have our lives back! We are horrible at taking before and after pictures. I wish you could have seen the wall that was there before.

the kind of bath everyone dreams of.........

There were so many bubbles G couldn't even breath! They loved it, but after a second they thought they were going to die! I think they're both kind of claustrophobic (if they weren't before the bath, they are now!) It looked relaxing to me!

I wish......

I just thought I would share some of my dream kitchens with everyone. I can't get enough of them. I doubt I'll ever have anything this fancy but it's always fun to dream. Maybe someone else out there will get one of these kitchens and invite me over to hang out in it. I think that's the closest I'll ever get! There's way too many options out there!
