My schoolroom redone!

This is what my schoolroom looked liked without the shelves. Not a bad color, but it needed fresh paint to cover up the marks made by little hands, over the last 2 yrs.

Then Eric decided to add some shelves to my schoolroom and I loved it!!!

So we decided to change the color up a bit. When Eric saw the orange he said "Nuh, uh! The whole room ORANGE?! No way!" So we painted the lower portion a brown that I had in the garage. We both love it!

This is the room where everything happens. Games are played, school gets done, verses are learned, paintings are made, books get read(actually that gets done anywhere in the house).

Along with the kitchen and laundryroom this is a verrry used room.

I am glad to have it.

Jeremy turned 6 years old!

Jeremy could invite 3 friends to his b-day. He asked for Jesse Price, Chistopher M. and Dalla G. They had so much fun playing Playmobile and His castle with knights.

All the boys put a whole container of bubblegum in their mouths!!! Could hardly chew it!
This is our attempt at a dinosaur cake that Jermy (The way Elyse says it) requested.
I think he had a fun B-day. What do you think?

A Day at the park.

The kids really had such a nice day at the park earlier this spring. We took our sandwiches, drinks and snacks with us. The big boys flew their kite and also enjoyed playing on the playground. Me... well I sneezed almost the whole time! Miserable Allergies!!! Good thing I was the one taking pictures!!!

Trying on Mamma's Wedding veil and Necklace.

I never thought when I wore this veil and necklace that one day I would have a precious little girl wearing it almost 14 years later!!! I wish she could try on my wedding dress too, but that was burned in a fire we had of our shed about 8 years ago. She had a lot of fun dressing up.

This year crop of peaches.

We had about 30 peaches this year on our 2 year old peach tree! I think in our over excitement we kept picking them too early. And we also had our cute little furry friends the squirrels to compete with! Not so cute now. It was still one of those blessings we enjoyed very much.

Jeremy and a... Costco Magazine?

What is he looking at??? An Insurance Co. advertisement!!! But Jeremy thought that Costco might sell these because it says COSTCO at the bottom of the magazine. I finally convinced otherwise. But it was so cute to watch him staring at it for a long time, longingly.

Isn't it sad when you tell your kids to go get ready, and they all make a bee-line for the laundry room, instead of their rooms!!!

Cameron's birdhouse!

Cameron's birdhouse continued...

One day early this spring I heard a lot of noise coming from the garage; air compressor, hammering, sawing...etc. Cameron was working on a birdhouse. He was so excited and kept asking if I thought that a bird would actually like the house he built. After seeing the finished product I felt bad, but didn't make any promises. Well, having a little bit of childish luck, a mother bird moved in and hatched 4 little baby birds! We think it ended up being a mother Cardinal! The little house actually won my heart in the end.
