cousin b-days

IMG_9239I LOVED how much Cassie LOVED her pinata. She wouldn’t let the thing go until it was time to crack it open.

IMG_9243Jon brought his laptop so he could play with Isaac. Isaac got to pick what they did.

IMG_9279Cassie and Isaac have June 6th and 7th b-days.  So they get min pinata since it’s two pinatas in one day. Can you imagine the candy output/intake if they were full size pinatas?

It was a fun party. We love living near family!

Before and After: Living room

The living room was big white and pretty empty when we first saw it.

DSCF3405 (2)Can you believe that Josh didn’t like the door knobs in this house?! I kid. They were not anyone’s cup of tea.

DSCF3086 (2)I took Kaylee over to the house with me to check on a few things during reno. She passed out by the front door. The next photos are of the mostly done living room. I still need to finish caulking baseboards, and do some touch up painting.

IMG_9066I got this AWESOME shoe dresser from Ikea. Inside those four drawers is a hot mess of shoes. 🙂

IMG_9059My area rug is getting sort of sad…. I found a dreamy orange and white chunky stripped one online that I fell in love with. Dreamy as in it’s just a dream…… Pretend it’s there though.

IMG_9056Looking from the play room toward the kitchen. I think Josh bought the biggest t.v. he could. I was not thrilled with having such a massive t.v. in the living room because I knew we would get used to it, and not be able to go back to a more reasonable size when it left. Jon and I are SO very used to having the giant bachelor t.v. It’s going away to Joshily house soonish. Jon has been eying replacements.

Dance off

Aunt Sam mailed Regan a pair of dance pants. Jon and I decided that the kid is great at break dancing. We went to a cousins graduation party, and we just giggled at Regan on the dance floor. Jon asked me when I taught Regan to break dance. I told him I hadn’t. It’s just his preferred dance style.

So I wanted ONE good picture of the kids in their pants to send to Sam. They were too busy dancing around to cooperate. Kaylee was singing, “There’s a K on my butt!” And Regan was yelling that the K meant you needed to kick.

So here is every picture I took of the kids dancing/fighting. It was quite entertaining.
