Cassie's Party

After Tristan sang with his school, we went to Cassie's family Halloween party. It was our first party of the season.

Jen, Curt , & Kempton were so cute! I know you cant see Kempton's face in this pic but you can in the next. Cutest little pony! I swear I took pictures of your family Cassie but they aren't in my computer! Cassie and her family were all coordinating too, it was so fun! Thanks for inviting us Cassie, we need to do a Christmas party for us "adults" :)

Tristan's Preschool Performance

Tristan's preschool sang at a Veterans day dinner for his teacher's stake in October. It was so fun and the kids were so cute. They dressed up in their pj's and brought their favorite stuffed animal and sang a song about their teddy bears, adorable! It is so fun to finally have my kids at the age where they can be involved in things like this! His "teddy bear" was Elmo :)

Still alive

Pixie stix

I got the kids those big pixie stix at the park and when we got to my mom's, she put them in a bowl for each of them. Emma was holding hers and jumping on the trampoline and kinda lost it all and Tristan left his in clear view of Emma and she dumped his so they proceeded to eat it OFF of the trampoline, yummy!

Freestone playdate:)

Cassie and I decided we would would take the kids to Freestone park on Friday while we were waiting for babysitters to go see Kelley and the Emery. They had a special going and the kids got wristbands and had a blast! It really was so much fun to watch them having tons of fun. The train runs every half hour so we ended up riding it 3 times. Here is Boston and Tristan on the train:)

Cassie and Rendon

Emma and I

I think this was their favorite ride, they rode it a million times! I think that it might have been the button on the jet ski's that made the most annoying sound ever.... I would hate to be the guy that controls that ride every week end.

The boys loved the ferris wheel but Emma was NOT having it. She went one time around:)

It was so much fun! I kind of want to do it like every weekend! We will see...

Kitchen Project Done!

Well for the most part done:) My Mom and I have been working on my cabinets for like a month now, mostly because she works and can only help me on Friday's. We took the cabinet doors off and she sanded them down. Then we painted them white( I know, same as before but a different white). Then I spent forever distressing them and then stained them with danish oil and this is how it turned out.

I LOVE IT!!! I feel so proud of myself that I did this and they actually look good! Plus the room is so much brighter now. The red made everything seem so dirty all time. Im like obsessed with keeping it clean too so that has been an awesome plus to this project:)

There is still alot to be done but there will always be another project waiting. For now, I'm so happy with the results and so happy I didnt have to spend thousands of dollars on new cabinets, I just gave my 25 years old cabinets a face lift:)

Project Kitchen

We have lives in our house for a little over 4 years now and for the first year the whole house stayed white, except Tristan's room, but only because my brother and sister in law did it for me. So when I finally decided to paint, I was loving the Americana look and this is what I ended up with. My cabinets were white already, super dingy white, but white to say the least. I added a red stripe around the edge of the cabinets to tie them in with the decor. There are no windows in my kitchen/family room area so with the added dark paint job, it was such a dark room.

I had my sister in law, Kelli, come over and help me primer it so I could repaint it tan.

Here is Emma thinking she is helping and ended up with paint on her pj's. Also in the process, Tristan stepped in the paint tray and trailed to the bathroom where he was trying to clean it off thinking I wouldn't find out but the little foot prints down the hall were kind of a tell....

Here is the familyroom with the primer. I moved the kitchen table in here and I am painting it black to go with everything else. My uncle is coming to get the piano so this room will be pretty empty, I have to figure out what to do since the tv is in the living room and it might be kind of difficult to move Mike's "pride and joy," as he calls it.

Girls Night Out

Tonight I went out with Jen and Kelley and it was a blast! Jen went ahead of time and bought Walmarts whole selection of candy, and it was yummy.... We went to Ruby Tuesdays(not tgi fridays) and then went to see Stardust(which is so good, you must see it) and ate that yummy candy. It's so nice being able to just leave the kids with a sitter and go out from "ME" time:) Thanks so much for fun night girls and thanks for being my blanket buddy Jen!!

Peekaboo

We got a new island for our kitchen and the first thing Emma did was lay claim to the whole in the middle as her tunnel. I quickly remedied that with some decor:)

Makeup artist? Hmmmm....

K so I was watching a wonderful show called "The Hills" and Tristan decided to try on my makeup and this is how it turned out:) I thought it was pretty funny!

T's First Day Of Preschool!

Today was Tristan's 1st day of Preschool. It was so much fun getting him ready and he was so excited! I called my mom on my way home after dropping him off and she asked me if I cried, I was like "No, this is like dropping him off for nursery, piece o' cake. Now when I have to take him to kindergarten, yeah I definately will. This is just a couple of hours two times a week, I can handle that:)"

Heidi was taking pictures of all of the kids and this was the only non-goofey smile he made:)

It was so fun to go in and see all of the kids together on thier first day too:)

This is Tristan's cousin and buddy Riley. Tristan get's to be with a couple of his cousin's in school which Im really happy about because they will get to know eachother better.

Emma was so happy to have the house to herself. It was really nice to have a couple of hours where there wasnt screaming or crying because Tristan was sitting on her or taking toys from her:) I'll tell ya, I could really get used to this....

I think he had enough of the flash in his face, Jen and I were trying to figure out how to get it to stop:)
