Chicago cubs game

For Josh's birthday he got Cubs tickets, he is a MAJOR Chicago cubs fan, his room is even decorated in it. Ed and Josh went to Denver to the game, he had a great time first time he has seen them play, sad that they lost, but had a good time with Ed, and enjoy going to Fuddruckers for dinner.

trip to santa's workshop

Ed's mom, brother, SIL and niece came to visit us, we had a great time. One of the days we went to Santa's workshop, it a small amusement park that is all Christmas. Alycia had a half day that day, we wanted Alycia to be able to go so we took Zach and Alycia while the big boys were at school. We had a great time. They loved the big candy cane slide, and all the other rides. Zach didn't want to see Santa so I got a picture of Ed with Zach next to Santa, lol.

a day of fishing

Every year before school starts we take a camping trip, well this year the camping part got cancelled as Ed had a funeral to be at, so instead we just went fishing. The kids loved it, we didn't catch anything, but the kids loved to climb the rocks and loved casting the line. We had a nice time, and what a pretty lake.

Alycias first day of school

Alycia's first day of school, they had all the girls go at one time, and boys at a separate time on the first day and the parents came with them, was only for 45 minutes just to get warmed up, then the next day it was all alone. Alycia loves school, and her teacher.

first day of school

Kids first day of school was on Aug. 5th, Josh is in 7th grade and goes to the middle school, Aaron is in 5th grade and Tyler in 2nd. So far they seem to be making friends and liking school. Alycia is in half day kindergarten and doesn't start till the 10th.

painting projects

Craft area, walls are just a light tan, but is a warm feeling better then the white, LOL

Other side of the craft room, guest room.

Josh and Aaron's room, Josh loves the Chicago cubs so we painted his room red and blue, turned out pretty good.

Alycia loves the color purple so that is what her room became, I just got it painted yesterday, and she had to have it decorated right away.

Tyler and Zach's room, Got the dinosaur stickers online and they really add to the room, the boys love it.

There you go Jeanne are you happy I posted what I have been doing. LOL

Birthday

Ed brought me home these beautiful pink roses for my birthday, and then had this fruit bouquet delivered to me (that was such a surprise, never had anything delivered before). He made me a nice steak and shrimp dinner, and then last night we went and saw Harry Potter 6, was fun to celebrate all week long, LOL
