Paint

12 hours of painting yesterday results in:

Laundry room = ladybug red
Office = wood smoke
Boys room = serenata
Staircase = ocean pearl
Family room = chive

Carpet arrives on Tuesday. Furniture on Wednesday. Pictures to come after we get this mess cleaned up.

Rainy Days

If you ask me, our recent weather has been perfection- overcast, cool, scattered rain showers. With the current state of construction in my basement, we have been grateful for perfect gardening/outdoor playing weather. Good thing this little guy loves fresh air:

Outings with cousins (Thanksgiving Point Farm):

Don't the babies look happy?

Can you tell that Sarah loved her 4-wheeler ride?

Milestones

We are celebrating several important milestones around here:

Josh graduated from preschool. Well, actually he has one more year, but we had a fun end-of-year celebration as several of the children are heading off to kindergarten in the fall. This has been such a fun group of kids and moms to have preschool with. I will miss it! The celebration included a circus performance by the children and a great party (the highlight being circus cupcakes by Heather).

Neil's milestone is huge. I couldn't be happier. Just ask him the question, "Who wears diapers?" and he will reply, "I don't! I don't". That's right. Only one more in diapers..yay yay!!

As for boy #3, he learned to drive.. haha.

Even more importantly, he has been sleeping through the night. Three nights in a row. I don't even know what to do with this much sleep. Never mind that the boy is losing his hair, isn't he adorable?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain..

Here's my cute munchkins. They just finished their 4th performance in our ward production of the Wizard of Oz. We have some serious talent in our ward and I'm so impressed with everyone who pulled this together. It was lots of fun (although I have been singing "ding dong the witch is dead" for weeks) I hope to see some on-stage pics (I was backstage being a munchkin bouncer the whole time!). After looking at my pictures, I've decided that a new camera will be on my wishlist for the next major gift-giving holiday. I cannot get a decent picture of both kids looking at the camera at the same time. (would that problem actually be solved with a new camera? not sure... but worth a try, right?). Anyway, here's the pics & I'm off to bed.

Random

Life is good. We love spring, even when its rainy. Kyle is a good baby. I've started planting my garden. It makes me happy. Its 10:04 pm and my children are wired and won't go to sleep.. sigh. We got our computer back from the shop today, so here's a few random favorites from the last few months:
