My Kitchen Makeover!!!

Before....


After!!! Thanks to my friend Stacy for coming to the rescue and showing me how to spray paint the cabinet doors like the pro's do it!!!! I painted them black then made them look distressed by adding some stain. Now let's all pray they hold up well. Sorry I had more pics but my computer wouldn't let me download them all for some reason.

Summer fun and Day at the Salon...

Finally we had a day in all the rainy weather that was warm enough to get out the swimming pool and swimming suits.











This little girl turns 9 in a few days. She wanted to go to the Salon and get her hair and nails done for her party.



First we decorated bags and filled up at the candy bar. I think they've already had a little too much sugar in this picture. Then off to the salon.




The girls waiting for their turns and picking out hair styles.



Birthday girls before picture.




The after pictute. It was a lot of fun and Kaylee love it!!!

One down and one more to go...

This picture was just too funny not to go on my other computer and find. Sorry it's a little out of order but this is Carson on his first bus ride ever and how he acted for about a year after. See the bottom picture for his last bus ride!
Lucky Carson got to go to two preschool's this year. He had one for his speech where he got to ride the bus and the other is a cute girl in my ward who does one from her house. He graduated for his speech preschool yesterday. Here he is with Mrs. Jenn. We are going to miss her. He had her two years in a row.


He also got to be in the same class as his favorite cousin Sebatian. They had so much fun riding the bus together.










His last trip on the bus. He has been riding it since he turned 3. I wish I had the picture of when he first started riding the bus on this computer. He has grow up so much since then. I used to dread the bus coming. I would have to chase him around. Then when I finally caught him he would kick scream and cry and take all my energy to help buckle him. I'm so proud of how brave and grownup he has gotten. He just waves and jumps right on. Tessa and I have a little tradition of standing at the door and waving until the bus leaves. Whenever she sees a bus now she has to wave.




This time of year always makes me relieze how big my kids are getting. I'm always a little sad but happy at the same time. I thiunk we are ready to tackle Kindergarten now!!!!

Of course what would mother's day be without our 2nd annnual let's get flu on mother's day!!! C.J. had a fever of 103 yesterday but seems to be doing better today. It just reminded me of last year when me and the boys had the flu on Mother's Day.



I had lots of helpers today with cleaning the house..




Cleaning the bathroom..




Making my bed (love it it's kinda killing me to leave it like this but they were so proud of their job!)...

Identity Crisis...

Without the window....



The window but I would move the pictures around.... I don't want it to look too cluttered. What do you think?










For the one of you that may read this I just need to vent for a minute. Not in a frustrated way but in a ahhhhhh kinda way. I've been having an identity crisis. Besides being a mom which is really fulfilling I am feeling like I need a hobby or a purpose. I used to take care of my nephew and was a lisenced foster mom. I guess that was purpose enough because I didn't really feel this way until I stopped doing it. I took classes and went to meetings and felt like I had a cool job that not everyone did. What the heck do I do now? I can't even find a babysitting job. All my friends do such cool things. Photography, have preschools, run marathons, have cool blogs, couponing, awesome decorators,cooking, love gardening (which I definatly didn't get that gene from my family). What should I do? I do love garage saleing and antiques. I kinda thought I might buy ugly outdated furniture from yard sales, paint it and resale it on KSL. The only problem is I end up wanting to keep it all.I don't know? I just need a hobby. Any suggestions? Here is a old window I repainted wanting to sale but now I kinda think I want to keep it. Keep or not to keep that is the question????

Happy 7th C.J.!!!!

C.J. wanted to do a sports party. Lucky for me Jesus was home to be in charge of the games. The boys loved it! Here they are showing off their gold metals.

My oven broke yesterday when I tried to bake these.Thanks to my mom for coming to the rescue!!!


We told the birthday boy he could choose anywhere to eat. He said he wanted to eat where there was a playground. We are mean parents and never eat inside so they can play. This was quit the treat!

Then off to Trafalga for the second day in a row( Glad we bought those passes)! What a fun day!!!
