and this
Finally led to this. It's kind of messy in this picture (sorry, hon) but there's the new carpet. We get things done down here. Eventually.
I told you the next set of face paints was scary. These two were hiding behind the door one day when I came in. I haven't been the same since.
I've got a world record of posts going. The Hoopes came down for Easter and we had a great time. It's a whole lotta kids running around. These pictures are out at Cedar Mountain and the Wedge. Pictures don't do them justice. The scenery either.
Model for Total Cute magazine.
Blonde headed pipsqueakers. We love the term pipsqueaker. It can be applied to so many different situations.
The old cool ones at the Wedge overlook. Stuff like this freaks me out, especially since I know our kids are old enough to let them have a little freedom to roam and explore. Great.
All the eggs in the neighborhood feared for their lives.
The kids thought that they were the funniest people on the face of the planet this night. It's possible that they were correct. I love the pink oompa loompa over there on the right (no, I'm not talking about Melody).
First tooth gone.
Our neighbor and home teacher runs Hazmat for Verizon and has to/gets to use this truck. It's every mans (and boys) dream. He took the boys for a spin. I don't even know why he lives in his house.
First time at the wave pool. What? You didn't know that Price has a wave pool? Oh yeah, we know how to party.
Our neighbor does awesome face paintings. Wait til I post the next batch. They freaked me out.
It's good to let your children fall asleep with suckers in their mouths, right?
We have to post one of these photos every year. I believe it is part of our blogger contract "Post a picture of one of your children sitting in a fire engine or you are no kind of parents at all."
Bird discovery day. This was pretty darn awesome if you ask me.
In case you were wondering about our level of red-neckitude...
...you need wonder no more. Yes, we went to Monster Jam. I am still having a hard time hearing.
Love these boys.
And these girly girls.
I think I had more fun on these snow mountains than the kids. You should have seen the tunnel network we created. It was extraordinary. Took me back to my childhood.
Noah needed to make a project with 100 somethings. I wholeheartedly approve of his choice.
This is Melody's wall. For a very long time she has wanted a wall like this. She's living the dream now. This came as a part of our major remodeling jones. Not really that major, but for us it is. Repainting the whole upstairs, new molding and baseboards, new tile, repainting all our casing (it was ugly dark brown). So we did more in 4 months in this house than we did in 4 years in the other house. And this was all because we wanted to get new carpet. That was 4 months ago...we still don't have the carpet.
My first tile job. I know I should have had this experience already, but it was fun. Thanks Ed. It also helps to only have to make 2 cuts for the whole area.
I'm glad this remained modest for whomever is in there with Blythe. She certainly maintained her modesty. When it's time to bathe, who wants to wait?
Price free ice slipping around and hitting your head day.
This is how both a Johnson and a Bradford ice skate. I had to protect the camera so I sacrificed my skating time.
This kids love the 3 inch platform when performing.
