A new house....kind of.

Well, we have always wanted a bigger house, but it's just not going to happen any time soon. We are with the other thousands of people who bought a new house at the wrong time....so instead we have to make things work. So, Jon has been busy the last 2 months or so putting in an egress window in the basement so the two older boys can sleep down there. We already had a playroom down there so it wasn't too much to do, but sorting through 3 boys toys, clothes and everything else in between has taken us forever. 2 weeks ago we finally moved them down into their new room. Levi has taken over their old room upstairs and out of our bedroom (I never thought that would happen.) He even has a closet now. Well, kind of...the top of the closet it his and the bottom is all the upstairs toys. So, Levi's room is kind of a playroom now also. The livingroom is almost void of toys unless they are actively playing with them. And eventually it will have a table for art and reading when we find one. The boys have been loving their new basement bedroom. They can open the window and climb out the ladder if necessary, hopefully that will never happen. They have been sleeping pretty good down there, it's me who can't sleep very well listening to see if they are okay. My boys have never been that far away. I know I have issues. Levi is loving his own room, he actually sleeps most nights! Amazing, I never thought that would happen either. Well, here are some photos of the 'new house'!

Rainy, no school day!

Today we woke up to a telephone ringing...Ty's school was closed from tall the power outages (as of now it is still in the dark). It was my day off so an extra half hour to sleep, yeah! Unfortunately, wyatt still had school so we still had to get up and get dressed.
After preschool, we went to the Mid-Michigan Childrens Museum with our friends, Grayson, Finley and their Mom (stacy). That place is so much fun, even Levi can run around. They have a giant water table that is always the big hit. NOt to mention they are soaked when we leave...Her are some fun photos of our day out with friends on a rainy, no school day!

Afternoons...

Since school has started our afternoons around her a very different. Ty has been so tired when coming home from school that he usually finds something quitely to do by himself after homework and a snack.

Wyatt and Levi have been doing well with playing with a toy by them selves. Wyatt is very big into his imagination with the toys, he reminds me of Andy on Toy Story. You can here him talking to the figures and creating a whole scene.

Levi has now figured out that toys are fun to play with and not just throw around the room...yes it can get ugly. He really loves to push cars around the house...

This gives mom a little time to get things ready for the next day and then maybe start dinner is there are no other activities for the night. Everything is great until.....one of them figures out that the other has a toy that might be a little bit more interesting than the one they have and then it leads to this...

1st Days!

Today was Ty's first day of First Grade! and Wyatt's first day of 3-year old Preschool. They are getting too big for me!

Sinktime:)

Who can't resist a little boy in a sink? This has been our nightly routine this week, with the nice weather we've been outside until dark and these boys get VERY dirty. Just thought I'd share a few photos....looks like he's doing the dishes..

Ty and Wyatt's 1st Concert...

Last night we took Ty and Wyatt to see "Big Time Rush", if you don't know who that is watch Nickelodeon. It's a boy band with a TV show, they are hockey players that move to hollywood and become famous. Wyatt and Ty both know all the words to the songs and also have some great dance moves to add. I think that Wyatt has a little 'ganster' in him when he dances ?? Anyways, we got a little wet but it was nice. We actually got to see their tour bus and watched Carlos and James go in and out of it and wave. That was exciting. I'm still not too sure Wyatt understood how they were actually here but they are on TV...someday. Ty and I sang all the songs. I still love a good boy band concert!

Ring Bearers!!

This weekend Ty and Wyatt were Ring Bearers in our good friends wedding. Levi was just to little to participate, although he was there the whole time with us. These two boys were the CUTEST,HANDSOMEST,best behaved little men I've ever known (I am a little biased though). It was 90-some degrees and the church was not air conditioned. These poor guys were so sweaty!!!!! I was soaked too and I had a little tank top dress on, I can't imagine a TUX. Here are some photos of my handome little men....
