The First Day of School!!!!!

1st grade happiness! I don't think Kami can contain herself. Eating lunch at school is the biggest thing she is excited for.

Derek, going into 2nd grade, and his sensitive eyes! Is is bright outside, and his eyes are watering up too much. (anyone know how to take a picture of a kid with sensitive eyes?) His day unfortunately did not start out too well. A mix of meds and weak stomach got to him, and he threw up on the bus on the way to school, and missed his first day. I am sorry if this ruined any fond memories your child should have experienced on their way to school. :)

Brooke is looking so old this year. 6th grade! Wow, where did the time go???? She is excited, but then found out she has to read 45 min a day. She says she loves her teacher. Next year, entering junior high!!! Yikes. Not so ready for that!!!!

The whole gang!

Derek's New room

It was really quite hard to take these pictures. His room is pretty small, and you cannot see much in one shot. Target bedding, rug and lamp!! (of coarse)

this picture looks a little foggy.

This little table is a DI find. A little paint and wa-la! Got the basket for him to put random stuff, books etc. Again, the best part, is a fresh new clean room for the start of school.

My latest painting project......... Hayes' room

Going off of bedding I already had (Target of coarse, did I mention I love that place), I used the same colors from the bedding, and added a truck and car, and cloud etc. to the walls.

The best part is it's clean. That is a miracle all by it's self

Brooke's Room

Inspired by bedding on clearence at Target..............

Close up of the bedding

One of the walls. Flowers are out of vinyl, and the vines were just painted on.


One of the walls.

I painted different stripes on the wall. My best painting advice is after taping with blue painters tape, caulk with paintable caulk over the edge to be painted. Let dry, then paint, and you will have a perfect line.

Our Bunny

It's name..............Thumper, (I know, so creative huh)

It's a Lionhead breed

It's the PERFECT pet.

No yelping

No meowing

No no whining

She is a silent, loveable ball of fur. We love her.

Brooke and Naomi

I have just recently remodeled Brooke's room, (pictures coming soon), and so we wanted to take some fun shots of her with her friends. Then get them printed in black and white. You'll see why when you see the colors of her room. So, here is the first session of pictures with her friend Naomi. They are such great friends, and have a ton in common. One of them being kickball. If they was a youth kickball league, These two would be the first to sign up.

T-Ball

Take me out to the ball game,

Take me out to the crowd.

Buy me some...............yada yada ya

Not too good of a picture. That little speck is Kam hitting the ball

Go Kam, go

She is giving me the, I am so embarrassed my mom is taking pictures right now. I am trying to play ball mom, move it will ya.

Besides it sprinkling on us, it was fun to watch, and I am excited to see them start to get into it, and start getting the hang of the way the game is played. We really lucked out by getting the cute pink shirts. Can't see, but Kami has matching black white and pink shoes. Of coarse!! (I honestly got the shoes, then the shirt happened to match) I was so happy. We played against the orange team. A month of games twice a week. This may get a little old soon. Til then, were can I buy the peanuts and crackerjacks.
