It was a PROJECT!

We decided back in the summer or fall that we wanted to paint and update the family room a little bit. We thought it would make a great winter project. We had gone to Home Depot to look at paint colors and found a rug that we really liked, so the room was all based around a rug. We bought the rug back in November but kept looking at it and finally decided it was time to make the project happen. When we made our shopping list we decided to do the Kitchen at the same time. Cade had a long weekend so we thought we could just get it all done in 4 days. WRONG!. We got busy Friday after work and worked and worked. We started with the Kitchen and then 2 weeks later finished the family room. Then another 2 weeks has gone by and we finally put nails in the walls. We love it. Probably can't tell much from the pictures, but it is a huge change for us. We went from white white to dark dark but we like it.

HE IS A TERROR!

Little Kale who seems so quiet and nice, oh my goodness. He is a little terror. I haven't had a kid who was into everything as much as he is. I really can't stay on top of the mess. The other day he was in the mud room where we keep the Ramon Noodles his favorite food, he unloaded the entire case and tossed it up in the air, across the room, chewed on it. Oh, he was in heaven and played for about a half an hour. Then he moved on to the dishwasher where I was filling it up. He unloaded the bottom rack before I knew it. I had silverware under the stove and fridge. He as having so much fun. I just let him play while I washed the rest of the dishes. Then when he was done he was off to the bathroom. He can unload the cupboards so fast and it is amazing to see how fast the toilet paper can come off the roll. We have to close the door to the bathroom now. He is so much fun, but such a mess. I am glad when the day is over and all the kids are in bed so I can go clean up after him.

Happy Birthday Dad!

So Cade birthday was February 18, and we spent the day on the road coming home from Idaho. Makenna was a bit upset that Dad didn't have a Birthday Cake. She thinks you can't have a birthday without a cake. So it has been on her mind all week. So tonight almost a week later we made dad a cake. Makenna thought it should be a pink cake with sprinkles but we didn't have either one. Dad said if he was having a cake it needed to be chocolate. So we made a German Chocolate Cake. Kendrick thought it had to have candles on it. So it checked the cupboard and sure enough we had a package that had exactly 34 in it. The kids just kept sticking them in so I started to light the candles and before I could get the last one lit the first one was down to the frosting. It was a sight thought the smoke alarms were going to go off. Just Kidding Cade. Anyway we sang and called it a Birthday. It was a yummy cake, too. Cade and the Kids always have to have milk on top of their cake. Crazy, I think it is and Idaho thing but its ok if they eat it.
