I would have but this with the other post today but it took me so long to figure how to scan the picture I gave up. But I finally figured it out yeah for me!I forgot about this picture until I was cleaning my room the other day. Stacie and I are famous for going to all sorts of expo's. This was from the What a Women Wants Expo. People rent this photo both for parties and wedding. It was free. The first time we saw this both last year I didn't do it. Connor didn't care either this year he threw a little fit when Stacie and her girls went it I told him I would take him but he wanted Stacie.

Mom got a bunch of Lagoon tickets from her work and gave us kids enough for our families. Raider and I kept putting off going. Well the day we went was on of the last big days before the place closed. Mistake. But again I was surprised again at how well Connor did with waiting. Lady bud drop of the first ride he did. He did of a little crying, then he had to move into another seat as you can see he didn't want to stay on. Once the ride moved and he found out that it was fun he could not get enough of the rides. So it looks like we will be getting tickets.

Yeah!! I have had a paint sample on my west wall for what feels like months. I told Raider that I thought that since it is Conference weekend we should do a project. Well Conference came and went and we didn't do it. He woke up on Monday and started to tape.

Before

After. I know what you guys are thinking its so dark but this picture was taken before we put up our new light fixture in this kitchen. There wont be pictures on it for awhile I want to take new family pictures and then I have to make a decision on how to hang them. I HATE DECISIONS.


It seems like I am obsessed with videos. But they are fun. We bought Connor the movie Sandlot. And we watch it more than George! It is funny to watch him hit and try to catch the ball. He puts the mitt up in the air like the character Smalls and waits for the ball to land in it. And of course gets upset when it doesn't. He'll spit on the ball before he pitches and also tries to pull his knee like a pitcher would. Con like to take his mitt places. He wore his mitt all over Walmart, goes to bed with it and of course has it when watching the movie.

When James finished painting Connor's room I always felt like it needed something else. I went to the mall a couple of days ago. There is a little shop that sells those peel and stick things. And they had George. I showed Conn of course he smiled and said George over and over. I was not sure if I should get it or not , so I put it back and told James about it that night. So we went to the mall the next day and I showed him, and of course we got them.
I wish I could have video his excitement. He would come in his room and say George wall, George wall! He normally goes into his room and gets a toy and then leaves, but that night he would sit on his bed, changing table, toy chest and just stare at George. When James came home from work he got all excited said Daddy George wall. He wanted James to go and see his room. Con ran in first and put up his hands like a model on the Price is Right.

Sorry I know that this is a bad recording. This is one of my favorite parts about Grace's volleyball games. I love to watch her and her teammates do what ever this is called. I love going to my nieces and nephews games. I don't make it to every one's games but I am proud of all of them. I know they work hard and try their best. I wish would have tried harder when I was in track, or trying out for a team.
