Happy Birthday Grammy!!

It is my beautiful Grandma's birthday!!! She is so sweet and kind!!! I love her dearly! She is now 87!! I still love and cherish the orange teddy bear she made for me when I was like 4 years old. Thanks Grandma for being a great example to me!!! Happy Birthday!!

Kitchen Makeover!!!

Yeah!! I feel like I have a new Kitchen!! My wonderful and amazing Dad came up and painted my cabinets for me. He worked really hard and he even brought up a couple of his workers to help him. Nicholas was always following him around. It's a miracle he never got paint on him!! (or he even didn't get "into" the paint!) Shawn got some brushed nickle knobs to put on the doors for the final touch. Oh yeah one more amazing thing,......ITS CLEAN!!!!!! Yes! I have a counter! I never knew it was there before! I have actually cleaned through my cupboards and got rid of a lot of junk I didn't need. I have kept my kitchen cleaned for 4 days now!! Believe me that is huge!! I do the dishes right away and clean after myself. Yes, its a new concept for me that I'm hoping to stick with it!! Thank you Dad !!!! You are awesome!! I love you!!

Graduation Day!!

Here are some pictures from Shawn's graduation

Finally!!

Yipee!! It is with great pleasure that I get to announce that Shawn is FINALLY graduating from the DATC for the plumbing program. It has been a very long 4 years, but he has finished!! Good Job Shawn!!! I am very proud of you!! Thank you for all that you have done for me and the kids!! It's going to be nice to have you home with us more often, but if I know you, you've already planned out what you will do with that extra time. Biking!!!

Bragging Time!!!

One of the best things about being a Mom is that you get to brag about your kids!! Well, its my turn to start bragging. Scott and Madi both received awards from Kaysville Junior High. Madison got the Honors award and also perfect attendance. I was surprised at that one. Scott received the High Honors award and also he won the Presidential Education Award!! So congrats to my smarty pants kids! (they must take after thier Dad)

Living room Makeover!!!!!!

My living room was in need of a makeover so badly. My carpet was looking so awful. Shawn and I were so fed up with it, that I asked him to just rip it out and I'd just have a ply wood floor! I am so lucky to have a Handy man husband!! He can just about do anything!! He layed down a laminate floor for me!!! He did such an excellent job too!!! It looks amazing and so beautiful!! I can have people over to my house again!!!

Madi the seamstress!!

Madi wanted a sewing machine so bad!! She gave me all the money she had (which happened to be $22) and asked me to buy her a sewing machine. I was thinking yeah right! We looked every where and to my surprise I found this cute sewing machine at Walmart! It is a singer too! It was only $35. Madi has been sewing up a storm! She made a watermelon pillow at school and came home and made up a pattern to make a popcorn pillow!! She has mended Scott's clothes and is looking for anything to sew!! I guess I had better find her some little projects she can do!
