Jake doing a puppet show at Uncle Brian and Aunt Jamie's house at fast sunday dinner.

So much fun!

The boys love being outside and Cody loved it when Jake would throw leaves on him.

Happy little boy.

House remodeling

This is the latest house project. We took out the old carpet that was on top of the 60's booger green marble, then took out the marble. Then we decided that we were going to take out the current entry way closet and eventually put in a new smaller one to make the space seem bigger. Then we are laying the new tile and hopefully getting a hall tree until we can afford to put in the new closet. I love remodeling but hate that it costs money.

Jake helping me pull up the ugly marble.

Beautiful!

Now even that looks better.

Dave having fun

Jake asked if dad was in trouble for putting a hole in the wall. It was so funny.

Now he's enjoying it!

I also had a problem where I was taking nails out of 2x4's and the board fell and cut my leg, don't worry no stitches.

I'll keep you updated with pictures to show the end result.

Halloween

Pictures at Gardeners Village with the pumpkins.

Jake loves getting a ride on the pony, probably better than seeing the witches.

The boys and their nana.

Couldn't resist taking a picture on the wagon, not really sure if you were supposed to but I did anyway.

These are from our very own garden, Jake was so excited to carve them.

This is what Cody wanted to do instead of help carve pumpkins. Anytime I can't find Cody this is usually where he is. He wants to be just like his big brother. The only problem is he gets on the bed then can't figure out how to get off so he just screams until someone comes and gets him.

Jake loved scooping the seeds out.

So cute!

My little frog!

Cody was a mouse and Jake was a frog for Halloween.

Mom and Cody on Halloween night!

They got a ton of candy and of course I'll be eating most of it and gaining a ton of weight, oh the sacrifices we make for our kids!

We had a GREAT 6th of July! You?

So we decided to go to the Air Force museum again cuz we like the big jets and I love it there, I mean Jake loves it there. And it's FREE! We were a little disappointed when we got the because the big hangar in the back was closed because they were moving the aircraft around. My favorite two are back there, the Big Black Pavelow helicopter and the A10 Warthog.

As we got to the back of the forst hangar Kelly sugested that we should walk back and see if we could see them moving something around. There was a barrier across the back door but we could still watch what was going on. As we were standing there a man came over and I just asked what was going on. He said, "it's a little slow right now, just stay close." He moved the barrier and let us in.

The man turned out to be the boss of the whole place and he gave up the tour of our lives!

He took us along the back hangar telling us where each aircraft came from and why it's there and it's history. I told how much I loved the Pavelow and the Warthog and he took us right over to it and inside! I got to sit in the Cockpit and play with all of the controls and he explained all of the buttons and I'm still trying to wipe the grin off of my face! He told us all the paces it had been. We got to see all of the soldiers signatures that had flown in it and everything else there could be to know. It was amazing!

We than walked over to the A10 Warthog and he started telling us about that one when he walked over and moved the barrier and explained how to climb up in. It took me a few seconds to realize he was telling me to climb up! I got up into the coolest jet out there and just played. He then lifted Jake up so he could try it out too. It was great fun but Jake liked what came next a lot more.

Last time we were at Chuck E Cheese a lady was leaving the same time we were and just handed us a cup full of about 75 tokens. She just said she didn't live around here. So for about two hours we just waisted a whole bunch of tokens. Jake just got to do whatever he wanted to do. Even th dumb ones where you just roll in a token and hope for some tickets. This time it was Jake who couldn't stop grinning!

So we had a great 4th of July but I think it will be forever trumped by the amazing 6th that may never be matched.
