2012 Raingutter Regatta

Rylee had another great year
at the Raingutter Regatta.



He didn't do as good as he
did last year, but he still did great. 


He did come in first a couple times.
We learned a couple tricks to 
use next year for his boat.

Xcel Demo at Gene Howe


KC set up to have the 
Xcel Arching Trailer
 do a demo at the boys 
school today. It 
shows the kids what
all could happen if
they touch or come
in contact with power lines. 



They put an apple, potato, a shirt,
and hot dog weenie on the pole.
Then they show what will
happen when the electricity
goes through it.


It was pretty neat and the
kids thought it was so
awesome.  The boys
loved having their 
daddy at school today too.
:)



A Family Fun Weekend

We started off our weekend 
at Rylee's field day.

They lost the Tug of War
to the 4th graders, but
they all had the best time!


Our 9th Wedding Anniversary
was last Thursday!  9 WHOLE 
years together.  Woo Hoo!
KC was still out of town working, 
so we waited to celebrate on
Friday.


I took KC to get his first
pedicure.  He has been wanting
one for awhile, so I thought why not.
And... his eagle talons won't scratch
me when it's time to go to bed.
He loved it!  We spent our
night eating hot wings and watching
movies with a few glasses of
wine.  Perfect date night!


Saturday was our 
Family Fun Day!


Our Home Depot has
a craft class for the kiddos
on the first Saturday of the month.
The boys built flower boxes
and got to plant a little 
zucchini plant in them.
They turned out really cute!


We took some time
out of our day for a bite
to eat.  It was Rylee's turn to 
pick this time.  He chose 
-Sakura- of course.  It is his
most favorite!  I love the
sushi!  It is sooo delicious!

 

We were sooo excited
to see the Avengers!
 We love our superhero
movies around here!
It was amazing too!



Then it was time for Cody's favorite 
time... The Supercross!
We cooked out some steaks
and pork chops and enjoyed
the final supercross race
of the 2012 season.   :(


 It was a great 
Fun Family filled day!

I sure LOVE my boys!

KC at Work


I thought I would share some
of the pictures KC sends me
from when he is working.

Look how handsome he is!
{ and he is about 80 feet
off of the ground }






Sometimes they even get some
special visitors.



And...
If I am really lucky he takes
some time and makes something
special for me.   :)

Cody & Kade's New Room

We are finally {almost} done
with Cody and Kade's room!
I just have a few little things to 
finish up.  This is by far the biggest 
project we have taken on.
I knew exactly what I wanted the
room to look like.  The best part
about the whole room is we did 
it all for really cheap!  LOVE that!

This sign explains Cody perfectly!
Ha Ha!


So you know that show American Pickers?
That is pretty much how we found
almost everything to go in the room.
Good thing Papa Danny and Papa Bill
have a lot "treasures" laying around.



I love the way the dirt bike 
turned out.  KC traced it off
and I painted it all in.  LOTS
of small detail.  It took some time
to finish, but it was worth it.
It goes great in the room.


And the ugly huge TV.
Both of the boys have decided
to save up some money and buy
them their own flat screens for
their bedrooms.  Ha Ha.  They 
already have some money saved
up, so it won't take them very long.



And this would be Cody's most
favorite thing about his room!
All of his energy drinks.
If only we would let him drink
all of them.  Believe me he
asks often.  Um No!




This is Cody's side.
He was staying the night with
a friend and came home to find
his bed hanging in the air.
He was very excited!




And of course another favorite spot...
The music area!
They can both jam out together.
KC even hooked up an old
stop light.  It will shine right
on them when they play.
He loves it.


We found this old dirt bike
gas tank laying in Papa Danny's
yard.  I knew I wanted to use
it, I just didn't know how.
KC suggested as a light.
It fit and worked out perfect!



Kade's Side!
He hasn't seen the room yet.
He will come home at the end of
May for the summer and I think
he will be so excited!

 


It might have took up 2 whole
{ and I mean WHOLE }
weekends of our lives,
but we love the way it turned out!

We also did Rylee's bed.
However, he doesn't have
much stuff in his room
and now it looks kinda
bare.  So we are working
on that.  Then we will have
some pictures of his.   :)

Go Chanpions!

We said so long to another soccer
season this weekend.   :(
The team did great!




Cody's coach always asked
us where all the power always
comes from from all of his kicks.

Well, here is the secret...


Just kidding!  He snuck some of 
dad's rockstar when he wasn't looking!

Good season Cody!  
You played great!
We love watching our Booter play!
