A Bit of Catch Up

Newest Family Pics. My opinion they are the best we have ever had! January 2011

~Driveway!~

Here is a before (minus the small pile of rocks!)

It looks like a meteor hit it.
We decided that if it ever came to having to move, we needed some curb appeal on our side. So we decided not to put off fixing the driveway any longer.

So much has happened, where do I start?

Madie was baptised! And Payton was blessed.
July 4th!

We got a minature Daschund!
Libbie, she is so darn cute!

We had a wonderful visit with family over the 4th!

I will update some more soon, especially since we have had a lot of other adventures this summer and school starts next week. Can you believe that my baby is over 6 months old already?
More to come!

~Been awhile!~

We decided to replace the door as well as the closet door. We went with white for those. With the color of the room it will be a great accent.

Naomee and Madie busy helping us put primer over the existing color.

This the ceiling freshly scraped. We took down the popcorn ceiling. Not that easy, but in the end not as hard as we thought.

Here is what we have been up to for the last 3 weeks. We are almost done, and when we take the last screwdriver out of the room I will take pictures of the final project. Since this was the first room we decided to do we have learned alot and the next should not take near as long. Keep your fingers crossed. :)

~Another set of pictures!~

A few pictures I took for Madie's announcements.

Naomee at a park on the hottest day this year.

Shawn had an interview with a company about an hour away and he wanted to ride his motorcycle. So he borrowed some chaps from a friend. He really enjoyed the ride. He also got the job!!!

The girls are growing up too fast and we are almost upon the 3 month mark for Payton. I am not liking that time is getting away from me. More about Shawn's new job in the next post!

~2 months is long enough! Yes?~

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. I have sincerely miss it, but I have barely had time to check my emails lately. I will just add a bunch of pictures of things that have happened recently and hope that I can keep up as things happen here. These pictures are in no particular order.

Payton began smiling on April 4th. I mean real smiles, the kind that melt your heart.

I thought we were pretty safe from the girls dressing up their little brother. I thought they were old enough to know not too. This was Cadie's doing, and Naomee was caught putting a barrett in his hair not long after this.

This is the after!

This was my attempt at lightening my hair. I turned it orange and had to go get it fixed.

Shawn just before back surgery.

We had 2 sets of family pictures done in less than 2 weeks.

~Naomee's 5th Birthday Party!~

All but one child was able to make it to Naomee's party. Here is the whole group!

Naomee with best friend Ryan!

Naomee blowing out her candle!

Doesn't pay to try and hide from the camera, I'll find you!

The ice cream cone cupcakes that Naomee wanted for her party!

We wanted to be able to celebrate Naomee's 5th birthday as close to the correct date as possible. We didn't want her to be set aside, with the baby being born and everything, but I didn't think I could do a party at home. So we opted for the out of house type of party. We went to a place called Pump it up Jr. They set it up, watch the kids, supplied everything and clean up all of it for you. It was perfect. I didn't have to do anything but help make the cupcakes and buy the ice cream.
