PROJECT.......Before and Afters!!

For Saiges Birthday I decided to surprise her with a NEW bedroom and her OWN room. She was sharing with Addie and now will be in her own room that used to be the NURSERY aka Cali's room. OK that was way confusing...but anyway here is some before and after pictures of what is still a work in progress needs a few more accessories.

BEFORE:

I had already taken down the crib (with no tears might I add) and started taking a few things out of her room.

AFTER:

Her new "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL" bedroom

She wanted HSM and I compromised and did the COLORS from HSM!!!

I am way happy with the result and she is even HAPPIER and was VERY surprised. The whole time she thought we were redoing the room for Cali, so we set everything up one night while she was sleeping then let her see the finished ROOM!!! It was so cute to see the look on her face ...well worth the work. It is TINY but just right for her!!

Pictures never really do anything justice but it is way CUTE and we have added a few more things...plus SAIGE!!

NINE CRAZY YEARS!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

Yeah NINE years with the man I LOVE and my BEST friend!!!

I love to think back about all the ups and downs and learning from life. We have done a lot in 9 years, became a family of 5, became closer as a couple, and most of all had LOTS of FUN together and with our kids, we would not change anything!!!

Calvin is an amazing MAN and he puts up with me that says it ALL!!!

(my four brothers that will agree with that).

He can make me laugh, and not take life to serious just ENJOY!!!

I will save all the JUICY stuff for him but just a short shout out to US!!!

YEAH!!!!!

Saige's PARTY!!

We keep the tradition going and had another WATER party for Saige's birthday by her request and we ALSO served BREAKFAST at her request!! It is always crazy and BUSY but worth every minute!! YES she is spoiled but doesn't know it so SHHHH!!! THANKS everyone for showing your support and LOVE for SAIGE she loves ALL of YOU!!

I was so busy running around that I forget to take more pictures but we played games with water balloons, water fight, slip-n-slide, did a pinata, caught a few rays, had BREAKFAST, opened presents and sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

The rain came down so HARD and FAST!

We could not believe it but it left as fast as it came, just to leave us in a muddy mess.

Strawberry Days

What is SUMMER without STRAWBERRY DAYS well it has become tradition for us and we always LOVE a good RODEO with YUMMY STRAWBERRIES and CREAM!!

We GOT SOAKED but held out until the end!!

Addison was very upset befor the RODEO because she did not have a COWGIRL hat to wear, but to the rescue came Dad with her FARMING hat and that was just the answer, doesn't she look so dang CUTE!!

The next day the GIRLS could not resist the CARNIVAL so I took them and let them each choose two RIDES that was enough for me and my pocket!! So with three little ones this is the one and only picture!!

We left camping after the carnival so this year we missed the PARADE!!

:(

GO Angels!!!

ANGELS GAME!

This year us and Zach and Brooke decided to take my Mom and Dad to a Baseball game for Mothers/Fathers Day so we made a quick trip to watch the Anaheim Angels. We left early Saturday and came home Monday afternoon (I said quick) but we had FUN!!!

We went to the Game Saturday night and had great seats and loved it!!! Plus they WON which always makes it more fun.

Just outside the stadium.....who is the STUD to the right of us !?!
