Sunday Evening Family Fun

Around 6 last night Damon came to Brent all upset because the girls locked him out of Brooky's room. Brent told him he could watch TV. I told Damon he couldn't watch TV (its a rule at our house, no TV on Sundays.....at least until the kids go to bed.) Then Brent told Damon he could play the DS but I shot that one down too (no video games on Sundays, either.) I was in the other room listening to their conversation as Damon told Brent, "Mommy said I can't do that." Brent answered, "But I said you could." Damon said, "But Mommy said no and she will get mad." (Does that tell you who is in charge at our house, or what!) That talk went on for a couple of minutes until I went in and suggested Brent go and play with Damon. Brent didn't want so I said I'd go out and swing with Damon. Then I told Brent he had to come too. The girls joined us shortly and Ellie had a hay-day with everyone outside.

Here are a few pics. This is Brent with his "distinguished" look.
Brooky was flying pretty high on the swing. Ellie loves the slide.

We started that rule too, because the kids would disappear on Sunday and we never see them.... Now they spend time with us cause there's nothing else fun to do ??? lol Jordan "lovingly" refers to the sabbath as "Omish" day.....

Oh, in reference to Christy's post, we finally gave in to the video game thing ONLY if it was a 3-4 player game so that they were interacting with each other. They argued that it was no different that playing a board game...just on a screen... So we let that one by lol. It seems to work though.

GiveAway!!

Image
I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
