Party People

The C-house hosted a little Holiday gathering! What fun we had!! What's better than drink, food, friends and family??

Huh? Where did he get that desire?

My kind of girl!

So cute!!

Us :)

The night went a little down hill...

The background on the poop: G'ma S. bought it for Noah

Her thought being if he saw it in his potty chair he would know where to go.

Well, by Bro had other thoughts and creative enhancements!

Merry Christmas! The fun has just begun.

Party Time

Once again...we were lucky enough to have all the boys to attend a Christmas party complete with a visit from SANTA!!!

They were all so handsome...

Noah a little more spirited than the others

Handsome boys!
Our little fella show'n off his moves yet again!

It took me a few to figure out how to use my camera

I missed the photo op of Noah on Santa's lap :(

But got plenty of him playing with his toy!

Surprisingly he seemed excited and not scared!

NEW TOOLS!!!The big guy on the big guy

So sweet!

All the kiddos

Uncle trying to figure out the Transformer

apparently they aren't like he remembers...

The S boys helping with the demo on the gingerbread house!

Noah working away...missing the party

Doing a pretty good job I must say!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

For the Nephs - Life's a Beach

We were blessed to be able to share the weekend with our charming Nephews....they love to see themselves on-line so this is mostly for them. We love you W & M!!! Thank you for spending time with us.

**WARNING** Picture overload below!

The race to the waves

Poor little fella can't keep up...just yet

Doesn't this just make your heart melt?

Walker-man strutt'n his stuff

I will be saying this a lot

I LOVE THIS ONE!

I LOVE THIS ONE!

The little fella exploring

I LOVE THIS ONE!

Do you not feel cold when you're two?

I LOVE THIS ONE!

Is he not the cutes ever!!

I LOVE THIS ONE!

It seems each time we hit this beach we end up with this picture

MY FAVORITE!!

I LOVE THIS ONE!

Life's a beach, you get wet, you go home to take a nap.

Bedroom? I'll show you bedroom!!

For those who have been to our old beautiful house and/or heard us talk about it, you know I have an over abundance of vision for what can be done. One of my visions is converting our attic - which is/was partly converted already, to a new/better bedroom. I wouldn't call it a master but it will be where DH and I rest and escape what we hope to be a lively kid filled downstairs.

This is from the original listing for our house.

You will need to click to enlarge.

Top right image is what it kind of looked like when we moved in

Behind the wall in the rear is another room that leads to another door

that leads to the attic storage

all a little dark and scary....

The vary narrow stairs leading up

New paint is all they need.

The new scary look after demo! The stairs back down.

Now picture are that beautiful plank wood cleaned up, batts over the gaps, all painted a beautiful coastal chic color, a couple operable skylights, spruced up flooring, a closet and obviously new electrical and insulation - I see a sanctuary!!!

Stay tuned for progress pictures.

ChooChoo

The train was supposed to be for Noah - DH seems to enjoy building it more than Noah!

Noah is a good assistant
The train storage basket is really the place to be!

DH likes to build it - Noah likes to break it down!

'Tis the Season

Our little helper! Noah is definitely in the egotistical phase - every ornament he unwrapped he hugged and said "MINE!"

He did very good helping, I don't think we broke a single ornament until we started playing basketball in the house...


We've managed to look with our eyes only at the tree.
I thought I was in for fight - so far so good!
Merry Christmas!
