And now we are alone




Well I am a little behind on this. Let's see, Kyle turned 6 yes my baby. He had a wonderful party. It was a whopping 98 that day. Couldn't pick a hotter day. Though the kids did not mind, they were in the pool the whole time. Got out to eat, open gifts and cake. Another thing is Kyle has a his first loose tooth. He is just growing up to fast, I think I will just cry once his first baby tooth is out. He is not a baby anymore. Also I think he will loose that tooth while he with his grandparents for the 12 days. I am getting used to the quiet around here. Different walking in and not having a mess of crumbs everywhere and the noisy. The noisy, there is none. That is actually the best part right now. I am sure I will miss it come next week. You can only go so long without your babies here.

Babies, my oldest is getting so tall. I have this photo I took while we were dropping off the boys and he is next to his dad. I just cannot get over it. He has been taller than me a little while now. And his voice, it is changing. My sister calls just to talk to him and here his voice.

Well I did go shopping on my first day without any boys and wore Jason completely out. We did get a Christmas gift or 2 for the boys. Hey better to do it now and the boys will never know. Right? I have been working. This week is extremely busy with meetings and so forth, but it is looking to slow down. I thought we were done, but I still have one more this week.

Jason and I are trying to enjoy each other and try new places. We never go out to nice places and everyone that had more than one child probably knows what I mean. The cost to bring a family. YIKES! So we are enjoying us time. YEA!

Our weekend

This weekend we were all suppose to go to Mt. Home due to my cousins from Iowa was getting to take a vacation. Well the floods in the state just happen to hit there town and they could not get off work to come. So hopefully another time we can all meet there and get together. So on that, I decided that I wanted to just take a break from everything and relax. Did that happen???
NO!!! My bright idea was to finish out our remodel on the house. That was to paint the kitchen. So I began on Friday, the day we should of left. I think it turned out great. I ended up doing more than I wanted to, but it was all worth it. I decided to put up some crown molding. That is not cheap, but makes a huge difference in the whole look. I think I want to put in the bedroom now. Jason and I did very well and got it completely done today. Yea! So my weekend was busy and my legs are killing me.

On the sports note. We are done, I think. We have not received a call from any of the boys coaches.

Oh Yea, in two weekends from now the boys (all of them) are going to go to Mt. Home for 11 days. Jason and I are thinking about going to Hot Springs, and maybe the casino, which I have never been. We are going to try to live it up while they are away and in good hands.

The weather here this week has been rainy, rainy, rainy. Next week we will be celebrating Kyle's 6th birthday even though he did already turn 6 Friday. The reason we are doing it late was we were suppose to be in Mt. Home on his real birthday. Kyle's new found thing to eat is chicken wings. He can eat 13 of those little suckers. Every time we ask him what he wants to eat it is chicken wings. He has a loose tooth, which is totally sad for me. I have no more babies!!! All my kiddos are growing up and I am getting old!!

Here is a slide of the kitchen redo and some of Peyton at his game.
