What to do, what to do...

So, I have so many projects I want to start and/or finish but for some reason I just won't get to it!

  • Make the boys Halloween costumes (dinosaurs)
  • Refinish/paint my desk.  Got this from my dad. Its a pretty brown wood, but its in my basement and so I think I will paint it some kind of white.
  • Paint my hallway.  I wrote earlier on my blog about doing a cool stripe technique.  Ya, still haven't done that.
  • finish staining the kitchen cabinets/ bead board.  I think we started this a few months after we bought our house, and one thing after another, but I promise this will be done soon!!
  • Start AND finish staining my bathroom vanity.

So I have decided to make my list and then when i finish something, I will treat myself to something simple but good.  Don't know what that will be yet, but once I figure out what that is I will let you know.  Oh, well I guess I should just add that to my list to....  *think of what I get when I finish something on my list.
Just a few little things on my list of unfinished projects, no biggie!  I think I may start one right now actually.... Good Bye!!

Don't Stop

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.


                                  -Fleetwood Mac

Remember when...

When going back and looking at pictures of our babies the day the were born, It brings back those memories and feelings.  "Oh, I love those feelings!"



I love my boys!

Oh and Don't forget, this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for this handsome man!

I love you babe!!
Thank you for our two beautiful boys

splash pad


At our neighborhood Splash Pad...
Getting ready to go play
 "Don't look at me mom."
 Konnor loves the camera
 Having fun!
 Humoring his mom with another picture
 The water is cold but he still did it!
 Drying off while watching a little girl walk off pouting. (in the background) 
It was the cutest thing to watch, Jack kept wanting to go get her and make her happy.


Maybe next time daddy will come, and I can get some better pictures with them in the water..

"... Hold still."

When ever we go to our pediatrician, Jack is right beside the doctor doing whatever he does.  This past doctors appointment was especially cute...  I think I am going to stick with this one forever.  Konnor has never been so content while getting his check up.

Checking the ears
 Checking his teeth (with his finger of course)

 Checking his finger nails.. (this one made me laugh)

I only wish the pictures weren't so fuzzy...

Thank you Dr. JJ

And the fun begins!

Play Time!




Playing tag, it's one of there favorite things to do together!





                                                

I knew it was going to be fun once they were old enough to play together on their own, but I never thought I would be this fun!  Let the good times roll!!

double birthday party!!

Konn is now a whopping 1 year old, and I well, I turn 25 on the 20th.
We celebrated both our birthdays together this year.  Friends and family came over to our house for a BBQ of sorts, to eat, hang out and just enjoy the great summer we have had so far.
Just a few snipits of the whole shabang...


Grandpa H and Kon

Konnor's Lego cake..  

The birthday kids :)

Jack had to help with every present..  this was Konnor's favorite.
 All the kids diggin into the delish cake made with Autie Angels cream cheese frosting!  

Konnor after a few minutes into his cake...  sugar rush getting to his head i would think

Uncle Hunter and Buck having cupcake comps. (who can shove a whole cupcake in their mouth..  I think this was #3)  Oh and his audience in the background...Mike, Jb and Jared

getting guiltless with the cake now...  "All or nothing baby!"

Me and prego sis Nic!  Yeah, more babies!

Another unwrapping, Justin as in the background the whole time, but I wanted to get a few of him in the post.  Daddy watching from the sidelines.
 Konnor and Jack still going at it!  All the other kids gave up but they held strong.


HA!  Did I say a few snipits?  

Anyway, it was fun! lots of people, lots of laughing and an awesome time watching all the little chicklets dig their little fingers in the birthday cake. ..  Don't worry there were cupcakes for everyone!  ( they didnt have to eat the cake the kids destroyed.)
