toddler bed

My baby is turning 2 On Monday... I am in denial. Last night we thought we would try him in his toddler bed since he is always trying to climb into his brothers beds and sleep in a big boy bed.

Grant was having his own party while we were working on the bed.

"mom take my picture!"

So we did it and he wasn't vey happy about it the first night, he is my only child that isn't a fan of change, the other two take after me and crave change. So for nap time I thought it would be a fight but it wasn't at all he laid right down and when I checked on him this is how sweet he looked, what a good boy.

date night

DATE NIGHT... This is a necessity at our house every friday night. We went to this mexican place sooo good!

Wendy and Clint let us crash their party.

The fourth of July

Alright well these pictures are very out of order but don't worry I will guide you through

This is the only happy picture of Grant during our little firework show outside our house he and Lincoln soon went inside and stayed there they wanted no part in the fireworks.

Lincoln checking out the loot.

Grant so excited for fireworks... he just didn't know how much he was going to hate them. Poor guy.

Jackson LOVED every minute of it and our neighbors bought a bunch so he stayed up until 11 watching them. Ben even let Jackson light a couple

On the morning of the 4th we went for a bike ride except first we had to get past these, excuse us geese can we get through?

We stopped for a water break and a silly picture

Grant is such a sweet and sour boy but when he is sweet he is really really sweet and it definetely shows in this picture

Jackson riding ahead

Love this boy he is such a cute boy!

On the saturday before the 4th our ward had a dinner this is me and my faith in god girl LOVE HER!!! (ps if you ever go thrifting take her she is amazing)

Jackson and his best buddy Christian.

Stinky pie the Linky pie he is just fun and can you believe he will be 2 on Monday?!?!?!?

All the kids getting dirty together and hopefully none of them got in the poison Ivy

HOT DOG TIME!!

so sorry

I have to apologize from the bottom of my heart, didn't know it had been so long since I have posted until I saw my last entry and my kids look little! Crazy how they can grow so much in 3 months. Well I guess the other reason for the lack of posts is because since summer hit there really hasn't been much going on other than hanging out at the pool EVERYDAY. I think God knew that if he sent me here in the summer I would have never bought a house here in the south IT IS SO STINKING HOT AND HUMID AND YOU CAN NEVER COOL DOWN UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE WATER! so that is why he sent me to Georgia in the Fall the most perfect time of the year. BOO all I can say is I miss summer in California, but I love the rest of the seasons here in the south.

So here it is my catching up super speed method.

We have this little room we found behind Jackson's bathroom it is about 8 ft by 12 feet and we call it the secret room so we decided it would be a pretty good hideout for the boys so this is mostly taking up ANY spare time Ben has.

This first picture is the entry way ... this use to be a closet in the bathroom but yes our secret room has an entryway in case you have to say a secret word before you enter.

Here is a before picture to show you all the ac pipes we had to move around to get some ac in this room

This picture is all the pipes mostly out of the way

This pic is even before we started anything. It was so gross and tons of insulation everywhere

This is what the boys and I do while Daddy works.
