Spring Break

 For Spring Break my parents came up for the week and spent it with us.  It was so much fun and we loved them being here.  One day we went to Pendleton Oregon to the Underground Tours.  It was so amazing and we had so much fun you all need to check out there website.  Children are not allowed but we were the only ones on the tour so they let us take Nathan and Tate.

Girls Trip and Nathan's 3rd Birthday

 So the end of February we took our annual girls trip.  This year we went to Missoula, Montana so it was half way for everyone.  Tate did get to join us on the trip and was loved on and kissed on so much.  Him sleeping during dinner I think we shopped to much for him.

 Us eating at Applebee's oh we laughed so hard we had a blast.  Seven of us in one hotel room, lets just say it was a little difficult getting to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

 Nathan turned 3 on March 4th, I can't believe he is three years old I cut his cake into a 3 with a train track on top. I was busy feeding Tate so I didn't get a good picture of it.

He was a little spoiled and got a Thomas bed spread and Thomas toys.  We love him so much and are so happy he is in our lives.

Things I have been up too!!

 So for Christmas I got a Cricut and I love it so much.  I have been wanting to have a coat rack in the boys room.  Everyone I have found at any store was more than I wanted to pay.  So one of our dressers broke I took the face off one door and kept all the knobs.  Spray painted it white didn't turn out how I wanted it, so I used cream craft paint, put some glaze over it.  Then added the vinyl with words that describe any boy, screwed on the drawer knobs for my hanging hooks and Viola!!!  A cute coat hanger for FREE!!!!

Now we were in need of a coat hanger by our back door.  This picture doesn't do it justice it is so much cuter in person.  Old window pain sitting in garage bought 2 years ago, berry wreath taken from bathroom wall, hooks bought from the Grange and spray painted black.  There you go another coat rack.

Now this is a chest I found in Missoula, Montana with on our girls trip.  I have been wanting a trunk for the kids toys forever but again I couldn't just spend $50 plus dollars on one. It made sick to think of even doing that, so I bought this for $8.99 at Goodwill.  Took it home and Nathan and I drilled the lock out, someone thought it would be funny to lock it and have no key with it.  Then I taped off all the brass and black edging and first spray painted it black.  The coverage wasn't the best and I was to cheap to go and buy more so I took some black house paint and gave it two coats.  Then Rich and I spent a good 30 minutes ripping all the paint off and now I have a toy box that can hold all our toys.  Nathan thinks it is awesome to get a toy out, play with it for 1 minute then open it back up put the toy away, and then get another one out.  Lets just say cleaning up toys is FUN now.
 

Now I have had a, Earring holder for a while but I was in need of a necklace holder as well.  So I cute a board we had out in the shed 12x12, glued the paper down, stapled the netting on after I spray painted it black.  Then cute the vinyl out on my Cricut, bella (mean beautiful in Spanish).  Put all the earrings and necklaces on it and there you go.  I am planning on making another one sometime in the near future I think I want one a little bit bigger.  Oh yeah the hooks for the necklaces drawer knobs from broken dresser spray painted black.

Catch up!!

So tons of pictures will be posted on what has been going on in our neck of the woods

Update

Okay I am so behind it seems like these months have just gone by way to fast.  October 31st we blessed Tate here in Washington.  We had so many people come and support us, Saturday we had 29 people in our home.  Lets just say we were a little crowded but I wouldn't have had it any other way.  Rich gave a beautiful blessing and we loved having everyone here.  We also went Trunk or Treating at the church, Nathan was Super Why and Tate was a little calf.  They both were so cute and we had so much fun, it was nice having family here to share it with.  Then for Thanksgiving we headed down to Idaho to be with family.  Stopped in Missoula and stayed in a motel.  Then headed the rest of the way to Idaho.  Lets just say Tate didn't travel real well.  While in Idaho we were busy but had an awesome time.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house, but ate 2 hours late because the propane company forgot to fill the tank.  Then we hurried to Rich's parents house for a Christmas party.  Went shopping with my little sister and Tate the day after Thanksgiving, of course I loved that.  Then Saturday we had family pictures with my family, then went to my parents house and had our Christmas Party there.  We had so much fun with family and didn't want to come back home.

Nathan loved all the attention and lots of stories.

Isn't he a cute little calf??
