Beute B-day Bash 2008

This years theme for the birthday bash is Cowboy theme so all the kids had cowboy hats and badges. Here is Trenton with Aunt Kathys awesome no bake cookies and his outfit. We didn't have any belt buckles to use for that contest.

Above is Addy, Alayna and Breanna wit the dresses that Grandma Great made for them.

Alayna with her cowboy hat and sitting so nice in her dress.

Alayna's Gymnastics

I went into Alayna's class the other night and got some shots of her on the beam. She is doing great from what I could see I will try to go in again and get some more pictures.

Job

I don't know if anyone knows or has heard of any phlebotomy jobs that are open for Ty. Please let us know if you do so that he can apply and get into something soon. It is getting frustrating for him. Since Spectrum keeps telling him that he is on the top of the list and all the positions that he applied for have been filled.

Our Newest Football Player

We went out and found Trenton a helmet and shoulder pads today for Football that he will be starting in Aug with his buddy from school. They are playing for SKRA. Trenton was so excited that he would not take off the practice jersey that he got and the minute we got home he told Ty that he needed to practice so Ty gets him ready and there they go. Hope some of you will be able to come watch him this fall...It should be good to watch and fun for him.

The Big Day

The Furniture Comes Today...... No more sitting on the hard floor to watch TV. So I got up at about 6:30AM since the sales guy said that they would be here betweem 8-12 to deliver it. I get all ready and sweep and wash all the end tables down. Why would I think that they would really be here between that time to deliver so at about 12:20 I called and our order never got put on the truck to deliver it this morning. I told them that I needed this today. My In-laws were over to see it and put in the new back door and my mom also stopped by since it should have been there. So now they should be here between 2-5 so I ran out to get some new lamps and they arrived with the furniture probably about 3 or so.....Here is also the finished floor before the furniture.

Friday Night with TJ

We babysat TJ for a few hours Friday night with no living room furniture this was fun for him a whole room just to run around in. Alayna tries to be so helpful with her Cousin but she is also very very jelous when Ty or I hold him or Play with him she needs to be right on top of us. She would be so Jelous if we had another baby (which we are not planning). So we played downstairs for a while with cars and then went outside for a popsicle and then in for a quick tub and jammies. We had some fun with him and the kids always ask for him to come over to play.

New Floors

Ty and I have been wanting to rip up the carpet that has been in our house since we moved in (8 years ago) so since Ty's parents were taking the kids on Saturday for the day and night we decided to get that done. Ty ripped that carpet up and we took out the tack boards and staples and the hardwood is very nice so we got it all cleanned up and then we went out furniture shopping that was fun since we have never bought new furniture for our house. We finally decided on something and it will be delivered on Saturday. Some of you may know but the furniture that we had in there came from my mom's house and they probably bought it when we were in middle or high school so it has seen better days. Ty took today off to put the finish on the floors and we will now just wait for the new furniture to be delivered on Saturday. I will take some update pictures when the furniture arrives. This is the floor when Ty sanded it.

Fourth of July

We went to the Grandville Parade with our friends Scott, Amber,Zach and Nicholas and my mom and Paul also met us there. This is quite a good parade but you have to get there early to get a good seat we got there at about 9:30 and all up and down the street is blankets people had been out that morning setting up their spots. We found a great spot still at the begining of the parade where all the candy is and moved in. The kids were so excited for it to get started but there was a bit of a wait when we got there. They got a ton of candy and shot by squirtguns of water that was nice. After that we went to mom's for swimming and a cookout. Then we came home for a minute and got cleanned up and then went to find a spot for fireworks. We went in Kentwood and we were able to go to the little carnival stuff they had for the kids before the fireworks. Trenton fell asleep during the fireworks and Alayna was out once she was in her seat. Busy day but so much fun.

Fourth of July Eve

Earlier in the week Ty and Trenton went out to buy some fireworks to do. So about every day before Thursday night they were bugging us to do fireworks. Here is the Big Night of Ty's Firework display. It was fun although Alayna dosen't like the booms and Trenton thinks that he could light them and then be right there. Here are just a few shots if you want more of them as always all my pictures are on Flickr.com
