Sorry

Can't believe how time flies. I have fallen behind and plan on catching up soon. I have tons of great pictures, but just need the time to upload, organize and post. So...soon and very soon, I will be up to date!

We grabbed some carpet and hardwood samples today. This is the carpet we chose and we narrowed down the hardwood to 2 samples. The wood will be right next to the tile entryway. I like the dark and Corey likes the oak. We are only putting this in the living room and dining room. Send me your opinions! I would love to hear from you!

Gotta love Craig's List!! Not only have we sold many items on this website, but we have also found a few good deals. This is one of them. The boys have been on a basketball kick since Christmas, and I'm tired of them throwing the ball around the house. Normally, they play on our neighbors hoop out front, but I'm always worried about them. I decided to look for a hoop for our backyard. The cheapest new hoop I could find was $170 at Target. We needed a portable, adjustable hoop. So I checked Craig's List and found this "Lifetime" brand hoop (which I think is pretty darn good quality). We drove to Arvada and picked it up...$70 (seller said she paid $300 a year ago and it's hardly been used)!! Like I said...Gotta love Craig's List!!!

Putting a few more finishing touches on the paint. I painted all the doors upstairs and scrubbed the trim. Gotta love the smell of fresh paint! Friday family movie night: Wings from WingZone (very good), the movie Fireproof (good Christian movie), and pops for all (root beer for the boys).

The trim looks so bright and clean. Can't believe I didn't do this a long time ago. It finally matches the rest of the trim in the house. Josh finally went back to school today after being home sick for 3 days. I'm guessing he has some make up work to do. It was nice enough today to walk outside, so Sylvia and I walked around Ketner Lake for some exercise.

Nothing like a nice hot bath, bubbles, and...trains?!?!?! What can I say, the kids LOVES trains!!

Are we done with illness yet? Jared had walking pneumonia 1 1/2 weeks ago. Saturday, Jaydon came down with it. Monday, I took Josh to the Dr. who said he doesn't have pneumonia, but is having a serious asthma outburst due to a virus. So, I have all kinds of meds and dosing schedules on my chalk board in the kitchen. It's the only way to keep everyone's medications right. I feel like a nurse. I pray that Corey and I don't come down with this. I don't think the kids will be as organized as I am with medicating. Josh has already missed 2 days of school, so I'm hoping he feels good enough to go tomorrow. His make-up work has got to be piling up.
