Ben 10 Alien Force

For those of you who do not have boys, let me tell you about Ben 10. He is a boy who has a watch which lets him turn into different aliens to fight bad guys. Ben 10 is a major thing around here and for the last month they have been advertising the newest Ben 10 movie (on cartoon network). That is all I have heard about and all the kids could think about so we decided to have a Ben 10 alien force party. With Cade and Davis and their friends, Easton, Jeremy, and I, we had 10! We made pizzas, ate cupcakes and watched the show. The best part was that during the commercials we would mute the tv and ask questions about the girls at school. At first no one was talking, but eventually one of them squealed on the other and then they all started telling on each other! I loved it. I hope as they grow, they continue to tell on each other like that!! It was fun and nice that all three of our boys felt a part of it.

Snow day in Texas

Last Monday (April 14th) the boys were out of school for a "snow day" which was scheduled but since we had no snow, we spent the day at the park flying kites. Did I say how much I love living in Texas????

Update on doors

Before: an open formal dining room
Under construction
Final (almost, needs to be painted) product

Some of you asked for updates back in Jan when Jeremy started working on our French doors. He had to wall off an open room and put the doors in. While the project is not quite finished (we still have to paint), he has done a terrific job. Four months might seem like a long time but when you consider he has a full time and some time even overtime job, three young boys with busy schedule themselves, and me as a wife who is always coming up with little side projects that HAVE to be done in any spare time he might have. I have to say, I am so impressed with what he was able to accomplish!
