Bunk beds part 2

They are finished. Yeah. We love the new beds that Cory made. He did such a fabulous job with them. The kids have loved having extra room to play in. I still have to paint them, but at least they are being slept in and are sooo beautiful. I still need to paint there room as well and do some decorating. I am thinking of doing a light blue on the wall and chocolate brown for the beds and then distressing them. I will probably wait until spring summer for the painting. I need to try to find some art for the walls.

Jason went with me to get the bunky boards. This is how we drove home. He thought it was so funny.

Christmas Day

This year, both the boys were so excited about Christmas. Tyler asked so many questions about Santa and Christmas. And I think Jason was interested just because Tyler was. The boys woke up at about 7 on Christmas morning and we went downstairs to see toys and presents galore. Jason's favorite gift was a Diesel 10 train from Grandma and Grandpa and Tyler loved his Hot Wheels Track from Santa.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for some fun. We went sledding first in the pit for a few hours. The boys loved it. After we were so cold from sledding, we went inside for some hot cocoa. We were excited to give mom and dad some gifts and the boys were able to open a few as well.

We had an awesome Christmas Eve. Dad and Cory took some really cool videos of sledding too.

My favorite ornament!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

We wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I love me!!

I have always taught the boys how important it is to love yourself. I was so touched that Tyler wrote this on a drawing that he drew. It was a very proud moment for me as a mom. I love him so much.

Bunkbeds

I am so extremely thrilled that these beds are finished. Cory found instructions online and made them all by himself. I haven't painted them yet, they are so heavy. So maybe during the summer. I am thinking of cream or brown and distressing them like crazy. I have matching bedding and the boys are getting matching blankets for Christmas. I am so happy with how they turned out. Cory did a really good job on them. He is so talented and I am lucky he was able to make this.

Bows

I have been super busy trying to figure out how to make these new kind of bows. Once I did...I was on a roll. I think I made 53 bows. I love to make them. Now, what to do with them.

Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a really long day. We started at Mom and Dad's house and visited with them and Jenni and Ted. Then, we went to a church and had dinner with the Miles. It was a very eventful day. We are grateful for the blessing we have in our lives and for the family we have.

Staples

My poor little Jason had to go the E.R. to get staples in his head. He had been in the time out chair and knocked himself over by kicking off the wall. He had big gash in the back of his head. We felt pretty bad. Now the kids don't ever want to be in time out again. Ha ha.

He was quite the trooper for the 10 days he had them in. He was so careful about his head. He was very worried about sleeping because he didn't want to bleed on his pillow. What a sweetie pie.

Ahhhhh

So I have been experimenting with my hair lately and trying new ways to curl it. I have the Hobbs super fine hair. I have to use hot rollers everyday or else my hair sticks so flat to my head...well one night I decided to use foam rollers that you sleep in...this was the result. An Afro..it was a little insane. Tyler still laughs about it. He thought I was funny.
