Weekend Warriors

Most of you know that Robbie and Bekah closed on their house last Friday afternoon. Well... it takes a village to make a house a home. So, I thought I would document the transformation.


At this point, Robbie was "supervising" the crew.




They found out pretty quickly that it's not much fun to paint ceilings - especially when they're that tall!



When the former owner was a smoker, painting everything is a necessity.



Here's Robbie in action - attaching the joists for the new ceiling in the dining room.



Kellen spent Saturday afternoon stripping wallpaper in the bathroom. The little boys mostly ran around getting into trouble - but they did manage to help out a little here and there.

More to come....

Braeden's 5th Birthday...

He wanted cupcakes this year because he thought he would get to have two that way!



Robb - holding the cupcakes with tongs so he didn't get the "mess" all over his fingers.


Wiley and Kellen added to his Playmobile "weapon" collection.



Day #2 of his birthday celebration - Robbie and Bekah gave him a "real" cowboy gun with caps. (I should have taken video - his reaction was awesome.)



He asked for a gun "with real bullets." Here he is - hiding under the table - actually scared to death when they were loading the ring-caps into the guns. Crazy kid!



Here's our little cowboy - ready for the range.

It's Official... he's a soccer player!

You know, it's tough being the younger brother. You have to wait SOOOOO long to get to play on a "real" team! Braeden has watched Wiley play for 2 years and now he finally gets his chance.

All I can say is... watch out kindergartner soccer players.



His favorite part of the practice was running.
