so fast!!

WOW I just can not believe how fast January has gone! It seems like we just celebrated the New Year the other day. Since January has gone by so fast I can only imagine how fast this year is going to go.

I do have to say there are several things on my to do list (you know that list that never seems to get any shorter just longer all the time) well I have been able to cross a few things off. So I guess January was not a waste after all. And I do have to say that I am so ready for some nicer weather. I am so over this really cold weather!

Much Better!!

Shawn and I have been saying for a while now that we were going to start updating things throughout our house. Well not much has gotten done until now. Yesterday we decided we would start with changing the lights on the front of our house. The old, cheep, gold light fixtures on the house really needed to go. They have seen better days.

this is the before . . . . . .

and my AWESOME handyman changing out this fixtures

after . . . .

and this is what it looks like now. so much better!

Its amazing how much little improvements change everything. Thanks to my AWESOME handyman for helping make our house look a little better!

Dessing Up!

All last week our community celebrated Cowboy Poetry. There were several things going on throughout our community. Well each day the boys got to wear something cowboy oriented (like Monday was wear your cowboy hat, Tuesday was wear your boots so for and so on) and on Friday they were able to wear all of their cowboy gear. Well Bry decided to dress like this. . . .

no the bandanna did not cover his mouth all day he just thought it was cool to have on for my picture!

As for Kode he wore a button up shirt that day. He really did not want his picture taken.

All in all the boys really enjoyed being able to dress up all week long to celebrate cowboy poetry week!

Camping Fun!!

The boys are so excited to go camping that they decided to set up their own little campsite in the garage. They created their own campfire, a place for them to sleep and a sitting area with their own fold up chairs. And much to my surprise played out there for quite a while.

I know that I am ready for some spring weather. And when spring gets here we are planning on going camping. We just can not wait to break out all of our camping stuff and try out our new cab over! (well new to us anyway)
