This is one of our favorite places to go . Chambers Elementary school. How cool is this play ground! It was a fun night together as a family. These times are so special. The kids are growing so fast. I feel like we need to enjoy every second we have with them before they are older and off doing older kid things. I love being a mom!!!
One more project done and several more to go.
I've been wanting to paint the brick on this fireplace for awhile. As well as spray paint the fireplace black. It was black already but had a few rust spots. It really needed a fresh coat of paint. It looks almost new now.
The brick was really ugly, so I'm very pleased with the new look. Paint is the best! It can make such a big change to something with little cost involved. I love that!
These two spend a good portion of their day brushing their teeth. If Ashlyn is missing, I know just where to find her...in the bathroom. I wish this obsession would rub off on Dylan. He brushes twice a day, but complains about doing it. I'm sure the obsession won't last long. At least, for now, they will have shiny teeth without a fight!
Brennen has been wanting to put this stone on our house for awhile now. The stone has been sitting in our garage for months waiting to be used. It's been hard to find a dry, unscheduled day to do the task. Finally, we realized we just need to just make it a priority and do it. Brennen spent practically a full day on the project, and got it done. I wish I had a picture of the "before", but I didn't think of taking one until the stone was already on. Most of you have been to our house and probably remember the red brick. It was cracked in some areas, and had a few bad repair jobs done sometime before we owned the house. Anyway, I really like the stone, and am glad Brennen is such a handy man and saved us a ton of money by doing the labor himself. Good job babe!
It's true...Dylan does love Gavin. I wonder sometimes if he likes Gavin at all. With all the teasing and name calling. But we know now, he really does love him. Dylan actually was denying that he even wrote this message on the white board. He also doesn't know I took a picture of it for proof, before he erased it. Hee hee!
Ashlyn is starting to walk. I'm actually looking forward to her walking. She can already get into anything she wants, and get anywhere she feels like going. So walking isn't going to make that change any. It will just help keep her knees and hands a bit cleaner. It's pretty fun watching her get excited about doing something new.

Gavin and Dylan have been playing with these blocks my mom gave Ashlyn for her birthday. It's their new fav toy.
Gavin...what a cutie! That is the best smile he's given for a picture in months.
Dylan has had a new love for crafts lately. I think he went a little over board on the glue there...
Our stockings...I miss Christmas already.
More snow came today. Dylan was waiting for me to get all his snow stuff out again.
Dylan was a kind brother and pulled Gav on the sled.
