Projects

We have been doing projects around our house for a while. Here are some of our results

We are not so good at landscaping but we are learning.

Our yard before

and After (we still plan to put in more flowers and stuff so we aren't done yet)

While andrew is gone on his meets, the kids and I pick projects to keep us busy

The shelves we built for Kyla's and Brev's closet

The curtains for Their bedroom. So these curtains aren't the prettiest curtains. They are gray looking and such. But i love them because Kyla painted them almost all by herself. I helped with the paint of corse, and with a few of the stems on the flowers and a couple hand prints with brev. But other than that kyla did the painting herself.

We took an old filing cabinet from our office that was gathering clutter, took it apart, put it back together....



and made it into a clothes holder for Becca lynn.

We spiffed up our back door

Added a lamp to our table and made a table cloth for it

And managed a to snatch a cute picture of Brev.

All while Andrew was playing :)

Just Kidding. This is him doing his challenge. To cross the pit without touching the pit itself.

Hey what are sleepovers for?

Potty training

Potty training,
Need I say more? While Kyla seamed interested, Brev dosen't. However he is almost three and I would LOVE not to have 2 children in diapers. We tried a while ago, and it really didn't work. So we waited a few months and we are out to try it again. But who knew that a little boy could go to the bathroom so much!

He is very different from Kyla, and I don't know if it is a boy thing or what. Any ideas on potty training a boy? I could use all the help i can get.

LOTS of videos

Lots of videos this time. For some reason we are taking more videos than pictures. But hey we like videos.

Kyla Likes to show off her Arms. And if you look closely she does have muscles

Andrew is teaching Kyla and Brev how to dance "the cool way".

It can be really entertaining, even if Brev doesn't stay in the picture

I thought I would put a couple videos of Kyla doing gym. Here is her vault.

Here is Kyla doing bars.

Now a few words on Brev.

Breven loves to clean my house. Well try to clean. I just wish I was brave enough to keep encouraging him. Yet as he sweeps the floor, he tends to knock things off shelves with the end of the broom. It is amazing really how much havoc he can reek by just sweeping the floor.

He is growing up on me. Lately He has grown and to me has started to look more and more like a little boy rather than a baby. We have finally gotten him some new clothes, you see he has been able to fit into clothes that were 6&9 months and some shorts were even 3 month sizes, while a few shirts would be 12 months because of the length. Because his waist is so small and he is short, he has been wearing the same clothes for almost 2 1/2 years. But he is finally growing and now we put him in 2 T ( and some of those are huge )even though he will be 3 in June.

I kept trying to get a good picture of him that portrays how big he seems to me, but I guess his personality makes him seem older to. These don't do him justice Still I think they are cute pictures. And he does look a little older here.

Not to be outdone, Brev likes to do gym also. But we are glad that his class doesn't require the listening skills Kyla's class does. I guess you will see why.
