Boxes Rock

So, I changed my blog, and am having technical difficulties you will have to stay with me until I figure them out.  Our neighbors brought this box over for my kids to play in.  They loved it.  They painted it and decided that it was a rocket ship named spiky (don't ask).  The little girl who is Truman's friend Gabby.  I used to babysit her, and now she just stops by every so often to visit, and play.  Elleree copies everything she does.  I need to get some girl friends for her.

Paisley's Birthday

Paisley's Birthday is on the 24th of February, but Ivan had her the weekend before, so we celebrated it on Saturday the 20th. She was super cute.

She was not interested in her cake, unless it was to feed it to someone else.

I love their first birthday, they look at everyone like they are crazy!
She has no idea what to do with the cake. My kids of coarse were there to help.

Really cute cake, but it was not a very tasty one. At least not as good as my mom's!

Ivan took good care of her this weekend, she cried every time he left her sight! Sure it might have been that she had no idea who the rest of us were...........

We enjoyed eating while Paisley was asleep. Hey she didn't know any different!

Jason-I made everyone wear the hat!

Including my dad heheheheheh!!!!

Pierce was there with us this weekend too, but no Emily and Heath.
Happy Birthday Paisley!

Future Writer

Dillon is cracking me up these days. He has decided to "write". This is an example of his writings. He divides them up into chapters, each of which only have like 2, maybe three sentences in them. Here is what this one says "Chapter 1, Bones. Your bones grow as you grow. Your bones even your skull better your body. Bones are white so scientists think. Your bones are the strongest thing in your body. Chapter 2, Brain, The Brain grows as you grow just like your" and the rest is on another piece of paper. This kid makes me laugh

Family Room

Okay so this is a really bad comparison, but this is the before and after of my Family room. I looked forever for a picture and this was as good as it got. Anyway, I finally got done painting it. My awesome aunt took pictures of it before I painted to photoshop different colors in so I could see how they looked, but I couldn't wait and I just painted without them. I think it looks better. I dumped the whole nautical theme and found some different things to hang. My plan is to put a flat screen tv above the fireplace, so I can get rid of my ugly entertainment center. The only problem I have now, is that the new coat of paint makes the rest of my house look shabby. It looks like I am going to have some more painting to do!

My little twin

My hair is getting longer, long enough, now that I can curl it and it is kind of cute. I curl Elleree's hair too on Sundays. So, last Sunday I made Jason take pictures of Elleree and I, with our little matching hair do's. I know we look nothing alike, so maybe she isn't my little twin, but she sure is cute.
