Thanksgiving

We drove up to Kentucky for my dads birthday and Thanksgiving! Julie and her two cute kiddos were there too! We had a yummy feast (Thanks NINA!!) and fun cousin time too:) And of course...Pictures!!












Gage was just big enough to take a ride on Papa's new ride!

Birthday GNO

I went out with a few girls for my birthday celebration. We went to Red Robins YUM!! Less than 1 year until the big 3 0! Kinda starting to spook me out....

Happy Halloween!

A few pictures from Halloween.....






Gage took a few...some of which are amusing:)





Sadie wanted to be Repunzel so I found an idea for a costume. It required last minute tweeks that I didn't get to do since I was otherwise detained with Justins Granny so I am not 100% proud of how it turned out:(

World Series Champs!

Ethan played his first season of baseball in the fall and was lucky enough to have a few really talented boys on his team! He started off well and was a good hitter from the start. He hardly ever struck out! He got a lot better as the season wen ton and really got into the game. He still needs to practice fielding and catching but Gage has found a new love for baseball so they both will be playing and practicing together in the Spring:)

Projects, projects, and more projects!

I have a ton of projects lately! I think my mind goes 24/7 and I have to try my best to keep up with my to do list!

We needed beds for the boys who have been sleeping on the floor for a while. I just didn't want to pay a fortune for them. So I started researching, and decided to turn these shelves into beds!

How?! you may ask:) Cut them into 2 long pieves, and 2 short pieces, add a few braces, spray paint and plywood and voila!



It's great because it is storage for the boys and it gets them off the floor! I still have to do a final coat of black paint on the plywood and cubbies but it's good for now! I painted thier wall grey and added a few wall items and it is finally feeling more like a room:)

I don't know if I ever posted pictures of Sadies room but I finally finished that too!



I put up a brag board that has quickly become overloaded!

I refinished my moms old sewing table. It went from this-

To this! I put a piece of plywood that I had on hand on top to cover the hole made for her sewing machine and painted it black with paint that I already had! Like a whole new desk for free!

I also made a gift wrap station. I figured with the holidays and boys birthdays coming up, I better get organized!! I bought curtain rods that I have to put on it for the wrapping paper. Hopefully Ill get that done soon!;)

Our most current project is the fireplace....we are still working on this one but I am taking pictures along the way and can't wait for the big ta da!

Field trip to the capital!

I was FINALLY able to chaperon one of Gages field trips:) We went to the Georgia State Capital. I had never been and have lived here since 1993 so I guess I was overdue to check it out! Here he is with his classmates in the house chamber.


Checkin out the desk....


Lookie lookie, these guys are really "working hard" here! ;)


Class photo with a representative, Oy vey for the pink shirts! Their class voted on that color....

Gage wanted his picture in front of everything.

He flipped out when he saw the gold!

He also loved the rocks....


Gage and his friends Kaylin and Lana!

It was a fun day and I am so glad I got to enjoy the day with him!
