Playing in the Mud

We have been soaking the section west of our driveway to either put rocks or Cement. Thank you to the City of West Valley. So Nathan thought it would be fun to play. Wouldn't we all.

Look and See what fun it was.

He wanted to pose for this picture.

Now he decided that painting his body is more fun then just riding his bike through it.

Now he is ready to wash up. I wish I would of taken pictures of him while he was washing up. He has a whole in the front of his rain boots, and when he stuck the hose in his boots, water was coming out the front. He said "look mom my boots are peeing".

I am so proud!

To be a Kid again.

Boy does this bring back memories. Nathan thought it was so cool that I made a fort. I think he thought I was cool. Probably just for that second, but I will take that. We kept this up for a few days and each time he saw it, it was still amazing.

At the Drive-in

All the kids getting ready for Cars 2 to start. Riley, Nathan, McKenzie and Andy. They were so excited.

He was excited it just doesn't look like it. I promise he was. lol

Thanks for all the fun. We had a blast.

Grandpa is up to something!

Getting ready for some target practice. Do you see his face. He is ready.

Target 1

Target 2

Target 3

And yes Grandpa hit all 3 targets. Way to go Grandpa.

The "After" pictures

This is the after product. Don't mind all the extra stuff.

It is so open and inviting. We are so happy with how it turned out.

Bedtime Stories

Before bed Nathan gets a story read to him. Then he gets time to read the story by himself. Each night I came is I found him fast asleep with the books.

I just love how peaceful he looks. Gotta love 'em

The "Before" pictures

June was a busy month. We demolished the kitchen. It was so much fun tearing out the Cupboards and then the counter tops. When it came to scraping the floor, now that was not fun.

This is how much scraping was done till we decided it was not worth it.

We decided that it was easier to just concrete the floor then try and scrape off all the linoleum.

We had a friend Clark come and lay the concrete.

Then after a lot of "doing" and "undoing" we decided to call for back-up.

Thank goodness Clark came to help. Vii and Clark did an awesome job and we are so grateful.
