Utah, here we come!

We get to go to Utah next month!  I am way excited!  We are going to stay for almost 6 weeks!  I may go a little crazy, but we will get our family fix :)  We are going there in June for my in law's 50th wedding anniversary party and we're just staying because we're getting Kylan baptized the first weekend in August.  It will be an adventure, that's for sure!  I will need to visit lots of friends while we are there so I can keep some sanity!  It will be a par-tay!

End of the year teacher gifts....

This year I went a little overboard for the teachers.  But I felt kinda bad that both my boys were hard on their teachers throughout the year.  I guess I was trying to make up for it :)

These were so easy and fun to make.  I got the idea from http://www.sugardoodle.net

I couldn't find a bath bead for the cherry, so I improvized and made one from a starburst and cardstock :)

These were way easy to make also, I borrowed the idea from my friend Emily, she gives a tutorial here

All packaged and ready to go!

I loved these so much that I made them for the people I visit teach.  Aren't they just so cute?

Enjoy your flight!

Caleb had his Kindergarten program at school and it was called Magical, magical me.

He got to dress up as what he wants to be when he grows up.

He looked pretty spiffy :)

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day!  Nate got me a nice black dress to wear (which he picked out by himself!) and the kid's picked me out some new jewelry and a cake keeper.  I got to take a much needed nap and was well cared for :)  I have a great hubby and great kids!  I am truly blessed!

Brand new park...

There's a new playground at Hogan Park

It's got cool ropes to climb on...

We really like it!

It also has a cool walk way and slides, a couple swings, and some other cool stuff.

It's definately worth the trip, it's over by the Sibley Nature Center.

Take the Loop to Lamesa and turn left on Wadley.  You pass all the ball fields and turn left to get to the park.  If you get to the nursery you went too far :)

Slow going....

Out with the old,

In with the new...

We are remodeling and it has been slow progress, but we are getting there.  We just got our new fridge, we've ordered our new stove top (which should be on the way), and we have narrowed down on the selection for granite countertops.  Now we just have to go get the sink picked out and we can call to order the granite!  Yippee!!  I am super excited!!  Then after the countertop is done, I get to pick out a new dishwasher, and get a new oven.  Oh, and a new microwave that goes over the stove!  I know, it sounds like I'm really spoiled, (which I am) but this house was built in 1982 (I was 4 years old) and it has all the original stuff in it.  The whole house could use a good facelift! :)  We have done a lot with it, but there's always room for improvement!  hehe

So stay tuned, for the pics and the updates.  I'm hoping it will start to speed up :)

The clean bottle

I bought some of these handy things for soccer.  They are great!  I love how the top and bottom come off and that you can throw them in the dishwasher!  We go through a lot of water bottles with two kids in soccer, and chances are good that next season it will be three kids :)  So I decided to save money on the throw away water bottles and invest in these babies.  I highly recommend them!  Go buy your own today!  Check them out at http://www.cleanbottle.com/
