Home Improvements Day 1!

We had our 50's and 80's windows replaced with double pane windows.  

I thought these were a pretty cool pictures with the sparks flying!

We had a backyard picnic while they worked in the house.  

Gavin hugging "Osito," his kindergarten class bear that they took turns getting to bring home. 

When they bring home Osito, they get to write about something they did with the bear.

All done!

Bath Time!

Both of my boys have always known how to relax!  Thought this was too cute!

We went to the Japanese garden during the homecoming for our Alma mater.  The headband says, "Go Beach!" in Katakana.  

Gavin wrote his Japanese name himself!!! りゅへい

More Osito!

Osito from Gavin's kindergarten class got to hang out at our house again!

Fun Washing Machine Pics

What are front loading washers good for besides saving water?  Taking pictures in, of course!!!

New Garage Door!!!

Here is the "before" picture of our garage.  SOOOO ghetto!

Taking down the door.

Almost done!

The "after." SOOOO much improved!!!!

Riding the Ponies!!!!

We decided to take the boys for a pony ride one Saturday after grandma's riding lesson!  

I like this one because you can see both boys!!!

Cheesy smile!!!

All done!

Random

My boys went with me to the 8-11 year old girls activity. They were both trying to get into this one child car.  So cute!!!

Gavin took a picture of me wearing orange vampire teeth from Halloween!!!

Beautiful flowers in our garden.  

Turned on the artistic setting, which makes colors more vivid.  

Cool Bug

We found a bug that looked like a leaf in our backyard!        

Silly Colin

I found Colin like this during nap time!  Must not be too uncomfortable, huh?  

Colin was "fixing" my foot!  Heaven forbid he ever get a hold of any real power tool, huh?

Our Ghost Jugs & Poor Pumpkins!

Easiest and cheapest Halloween decoration!!!!  

Gallon milk jugs, sharpie marker, and battery operated tea lights from the dollar store!!!  Here are all of the ghost that Gavin and I made.  Gavin's are in the middle: Ghost trains!!!!

A better look at Gavin's.  

Poor Pumpkins!  Some naughty people overnight decided to destroy jack-o-lanterns!!!!  Ours was a victim as well...
