We've been busy. Too busy to squeeze in a blog. So, here is a picture blog. Some of these were from before Christmas, but had to show you all what we've been doing.
the "library". Just an accent wall in our living room. The Gray is the color we painted everything else.

This color, chocolate raspberry, is truly delicious! I love how it turned out.

Sledding in the backyard. I love our backyard! And I so love when the kids have fun together.

Before pictures of the kitchen



This was not finished, as it needed several coats, but you can see the drastic difference it made in the kitchen. We are enjoying the pop of color.

Gavin and McKinley skiing and snowboarding. We have videos of them, but that takes more time than I want to spend right now.

This sweet, little, doll turned 2. I love her. She makes me giggle every day. She is so beautiful. She thinks she is so special, because her brothers and sister laugh at everything she does. And her curls! That honey blond hair. She is independent and stubborn and loves dairy products. She lives in a diaper. Happy Birthday, Reagan. We love you so much!
The icing didn't set up right. But it tasted good anyway. Its a melting fish!
Super excited about finding money in her new book. She loves the book, too. We read it every night.
McKinley was Martha Washington in a little classroom play at school. She did a fantastic job. I'm extremely proud of my first attempts to help my child make a costume. The dress is a women's size, altered to fit her. (not altered very well, but the apron covers that!) The hat and apron are made by me. I have to say, I'm extremely pleased with how it turned out. I've never made an apron before.
Martha with George Washington(Tyson), and a soldier (Joey). The soldier is also a friend from dance.
Playing outside in the rain.
This is what happens when we play with glitter at our house. Matthew hates it!
This picture was actually taken just last Sunday. Matthew took the kids for a hike while I was napping before a night shift. Of course, the two older kids fell in the river. Matthew loves getting them out of the house.
 
We are in the middle of destroying our back yard so we can land scape it how we'd like. It looks like a mini war zone. fox holes from moving trees, cut branches stacked to form defenses. Its awesome! Matthew is working on retaining blocks in the garden. It is looking very good. This is were all our tax refund will end up going. Yep.
