Say bye bye to the bugs!




That is right people, we are doing Tyler's room! Finally! The deadline for the contract on the new house expired on Friday. The guy who wants to buy our house didn't even call us, we had to call him yesterday, what a putz! Anyway, Andy went and met with him yesterday afternoon and he wanted us to extend it again for 30 days, the crazy part is, he wanted us to come up with $1500 more dollars for earnest money. Andy, in a very nice way, told him that we were not interested. He can buy our house but he needs to come when he has the money and not before. So we lost the new house, we are upset about that. We won't be able to get into a house for a while now with Andy being laidoff, it kind of messes up things. Oh well! Apartment City here we come, but not until we sell this house.
To make a long story short...I know too late :)....we have decided it is time to move on with our lives and get Tyler in his room. Because if we go to an apartment I won't be able to decorate the walls anyway, so I might as well enjoy the decorations while I can. Right? Thus meaning the bugs that have been in Brandon's room since he was born are going bye bye. Don't worry it will be cute when we are done. Brandon was a little upset, but then he got over it when we told him we are going to put his CARS stickers up too.
These pics don't show the bugs very well I will have to take another one closer so you all can see before and after. Andy says it should be painted by today, we shall see. He has some holes he needs to patch in the walls first, so he might have to wait until tomorrow to paint when it dries.

Happy Birthday Honey!

Happy Birthday Andy! I hope you had a wonderful day. I am a day late putting it on here, but we had so much fun yesterday I didn't have time to update yesterday. Brandon decided that we needed to make Andy a spiderman cake, that is after we couldn't find a Monsters Inc. cake at Maceys. So Andy actually baked his own cake when he woke up at who knows what time, then Brandon and I went out and got the frosting dye and we came home and decorated it. We also had to buy him some balloons. I will get a picture of them posted as soon as I get one, if Brandon will stop playing with them long enough for me to get one. Brandon also said we needed to invite someone over to eat the cake so I called our friends from Pocatello and they came down to join us in the tiny celebration we did. I told Andy to watch out, he is only 4 years away from being really old, according to Brandon. :) We love you!

We had to sing, even though he really didn't want to. I think it made him sad to see the 30 on the cake.

The Blog Update

So you may have noticed the changes to my blog page, I would like to let you know that I had nothing to do with it. My cousin Staci called me up the other day and asked if she could play with my blog and the layout. I said sure since I have no idea how to do any of the bloging stuff. I have been wanting to figure out a few of the things that I have seen out there but now I don't need to because she did it for me. So if you don't like it then you can blame it on her, if you like it then of course I had everything to do with it. :)
When we get together for the blessing she will hopefully teach me how to do it, then I can do what I need to to keep up with the bloging trends.

A day in the snow

Andy and Brandon had the opportunity to go snowmobilling with the neighbor and their little boy on Saturday. They had a lot of fun. What did I do, you might be wondering...no nap was taken by me, but I did get to scrapbook while Tyler took one. Brandon said they didn't go very fast, but I bet they did. They were only able to get one of the 2 started so they had to take turns according to Brandon. Here are a few pics...enjoy!

Brandon and Lance on the snowmobile, I hope he knows how to drive that thing! :0)

Javier and the boys.

And of course you can't go to the mountains and all of that snow and not go sledding.

Ready to go to work!

Brandon's grandma Hadlock gave him a Lil' Helper Carpenter Tool Kit. He decided to pull it out today so daddy and him could work on a project together. So they took out all the peices, all 20 of them, and put them in his snazzy toolbelt. We had to put on the suspenders too. It made him look all ready to go to work with daddy. Thanks grandma Jeannine! He really love it.

From the mouths of babes!

We were sitting in sacrament today, it was fast Sunday as you all know, kind of slow and boring for a 5 year old and most other kids. Anywho, we were sitting there in silence and all of a sudden Brandon looks at me with the quizative look he gets and I ask him "What's up bud?" He proceeds to ask me, "How old is Jesus, since he just had his birthday on Christmas?" I say "He is really old." Brandon then thinks for a minute and says, "So he is 34!" I started laughing and said, "No He is really, really old." Once again he takes a minute to think and says," Fifty hundred and fifty-one?" :0)

The things that he comes up with sometimes...helps me realize how lucky I am to have him in my life. It definetly would not be the same without him. I must apoligize to all of you readers who are older than really old "34", but hey at least you aren't really, really old yet. That is a plus!

The Best Gift Ever!

So here is the long awaited video. I hope you all enjoy! By the way hasn't been played with for about a week now. But we can't take it down....he is going to play with it. :0)

He calls it the water Thomas because the blue portion is water and the box makes it look like Thomas is going through water.
