Another Birthday!

My little boy is 5! He has gotten so grown up lately but it still doesn't seem like he could be 5 already! He is so excited to go to Kindergarten this year. We register on the 1st! He has been learning letters and numbers with me and loves it! He is so smart. He writes his name so good. I'm so proud of him ;)

We took the training wheels off his bike this month. I think he'll be riding in no time!

New Sunday clothes! He needed some so bad! I think he looks so handsome!

Sweet Kylee used almost all of her class "bucks" in her class auction to buy Logan two big trucks! She was so dang excited to show me. What a sweet girl! Logan loved them!

Yay! More church clothes from Grandma Ovard! He got a dang cute green striped shirt and some tan pants too.

Grandma Hayes got him what he's always wanted! Tools! Now he can work with Daddy!

The cake! I simplified the one I was going to do, and I'm glad. Drawing it was easier :) He picked the colors though.

Waiting to see the cake. He is so funny. He plays with his ears all the time. He has since he was really little. Lately he tucks his right one inside itself and it stays! I'll have to get a picture of it sometime. He didn't even know he was doing it in this picture.

I think he likes it ;)

MMM.

Legos! I think this is my favorite present we gave him. He is getting so grown up and coordinated. I helped him read the instructions, but he was so patient and loved putting these together! He is like his Uncle Austin!

Each kit can make three different ones. He has tried them all now.

LOL! I love this one. Ready to go to bed ;) The next morning he got up, got dressed and came into my room with all this on again. So funny! Happy Birthday my sweet boy!

PS. Jer also put all our knobs and handles on! I love them!

Their done!

I am in heaven! I didn't think I'd ever REALLY get my dream cabinets. But I do! Someday I'll get new counter tops and a new sink and faucet, but for now I'll enjoy my new kitchen! We are going tomorrow to get drawer pulls and knobs. It'll be so awesome!

Here are some before pictures again-In the process: Taping (That's Terry laying on the counter ;)
Bases done!

And- Ta Da!


So proud ;) (You need to shave handsome ;)
Here's a close up.
And the two goofs. Terry did an awesome job! Yes, I emptied, cleaned then put stuff back, and Jeremy helped by taping, sanding distressing, etc. , but Terry did most of the hard work! He said I can give his number to anyone interested!

Life

So I've been waiting to post something about my parents, cause it's been a little crazy, and we weren't sure exactly what was happening.

For those of my friends who haven't heard, my parents have split up after being married almost 37 years! I haven't said this out loud to anyone in my family yet, but I think they know how I feel, but I AM SO GLAD! I think this is just what was needed for both of them! Dad has tried too many times to count to be better, and Mom has dealt with crap for too many years! Now Mom is happy everyday, and Dad is really trying to get better! I hope he really does this time! I think her being gone is the only way he will really do it. Mom is staying with her brother in AF for now and tells me that she is really happy when she gets "home".

I pray for them both daily and I try not to give too much of my opinion so that it will truly be their decisions, but I can't help but be happy. It's only been a few weeks so there is a long way to go. It has been so stressful, and exciting at the same time. My Dad has driven me nuts, and made me understand again why my Mom deserves some freedom and sanity! I'll tell more details when we know more of what will happen. We would love any extra prayers anyone can give ;)
