Sweetest Husband in the World!!

So this post is going to be about my sweet husband so for those of you not interested in how sweet he is then I am so sorry. Anyways, if you know Tom well you know that is a really handy guy and he actually really enjoys projects more than he lets on. So anytime I want something like tile in my front entry way, bead board and shelves in the girls room, and a ceiling fan, and the list could go on forever. So I have been working hard on a new project of my own which I will announce really soon to everyone(and no I am not pregnant!!)...but anyways I have been needing space to work on things and so I said to Tom I wish I had a desk in the kitchen that was like this and this. So the next day he starts drawing a desk and I think he is just being silly because I wanted a very specific desk that looks like my dining room table. Well yesterday I came home from swim lessons and my desk was in process of being built. I was shocked that he just knew what to do, because I thought he was going to have to take classes and stuff. So last night after keeping all our neighbors awake (Sorry if we really did) Tom and I finished painting and staining the desk and it is fabulous. It matches my kitchen and I love it! Tom was just really happy that he made a drawer, he kept saying to me can you believe I built a drawer and I was like hunny you are awesome!! These are pictures of my new desk and my really awesome husband!! the next project is shelves and a cabinet to put above it he he!!

Funny Kids

Bree has been doing swim lessons for the last couple of weeks, and usually around 4:30 I take her upstairs and I help her get ready. Anyways, yesterday I tried letting her do it all on her own and she did a fabulous job. So today I do the same thing and this is what she came downstairs in. I could not stop laughing and she was so serious and excited to go to swim lessons in this outfit. Kids are freakin cute!!



Then my little Sophie who has had a bad diaper rash ran around for a little while tonight to get some fresh air on her owie as she tells me every time I change her diaper. Anyways she proceeded to dance and hold her bum for the longest time, and we all were just laughing and watching her. Then she kept telling me "thank you", "thank you" like I had been torturing her for her entire life with these diapers. It was pretty funny to see her ride her fire engine with her bare bum, she loved it and freaked out when I finally tackled her to put her diaper on.

Summer fun!!

These are some pictures of Bree and Sophie at the Farm at Thanksgiving point with our good friends Anna, Thyce (I hope I spelled his name correctly), and Stacey. We had so much fun and Bree was able to ride a pony for the first time so thanks Oppermans for letting us tag along!! Sophie also had her first encounter with "Bob the Whale" our little kiddie pool. I think when water comes out of Bob's spout it really scares her but at least Ty loved it! We also talked Bree into trying skiing but by the time her ski's were on and she was out and ready she was already done. Even after we all tried to brib her with anything and everything possible the little stinker would not stop freaking out. We are hoping that by the end of the summer she will have tried. Also I was able to get Sophie's hair into a ponytail yipee! It is so weird because by the time Bree was one she had had a haircut every month with Tom and was sportin a ponytail by like three months... So funny how they are so different!! Bree has also had so much fun playing with her friend Avery from preschool there is a picture of them coloring together they are such cute friends!
