Preschool grad!

Grant had his preschool graduation last night and I must say, I think he looked pretty darn handsome! Here he is posing for mommy!

Daddy and his little "mini me"
I walked to the back room where all the kids were getting ready, to see if I could get a couple pictures. Grant and Lily were of course holding hands!

And she was giving him a little pep talk, telling him not to be nervous and to stand up strait and smile big. How cute!
There's my little man!
Receiving his diploma from Miss Maria!

Cutest little grad I've ever seen!
Thank you to Maama & Papa and Grandpa Craig & Christine for making it to support Grant. I know it was hectic, and hard for you all to make it because there were other important things going on. It really means so much to all of us that you were able to take the time to share this special night with us. Grant is so lucky to have so many people that love him so much!

Loving the SUN!!

Grant got this fun water toy sprinkler thing for his birthday and we have been enjoying it today!

I even put my swim suit on and ran through it with him! (shocking I know) It was wonderful weather today and we took full advantage!

Swim Lessons!!!

Addiction and makeover loves

I have recently come to the realization that I am addicted to paper. I am wondering if they have PCA (paper collectors anonymous) meeting that I can attend??? If you know of any hook me up. I never realized it I guess because I never had it organized. It was always some here and some there. Well now that I am organizing all of it I just keep finding more and more and more and more. I mean THOUSANDS of pieces of paper. It is not just paper though, it is anything that has to do with scrapbooking. Paper, adhesive, stickers, you name it, I collect it. I say collect because 90% of it I dont use and probably never will. (DONT TELL JARED PLEASE) LOL

So everybody has seen the wall, the carpet, and the cabinets, which was all provided to me through the contest that I won. But I decided to show you all some of the fun things that I have added to the room myself and that I really love!

One of my very favorite things is actually very simple. Grant loves to scrapbook with me, so he has his very own drawer full of paper he picks out at the scrapbook store along with stickers, photos, his own scissors and adhesive. I love it because it really just represents the time we spend together making memories while scrapbooking our memories. Whenever I have extra photos I just toss them in his drawer and he LOVES it!O the wall it says follow your heart!Of course being a scrapbooker I love photos so there will be lots on the walls!This is just a rub on and I love it! I just put it right on the frame and it says, "Im no momma's boy, but boy do I love my mom!" I love that! So cute!This is something I love as well. I found it at IKEA. I love that store. In the pails are all my pens and markers, in the cute little jars are brads and buttons sorted by color, and hanging on hooks are scissors, all right in reach! I also embellished the frame, it says "you and me" and it is a picture of Jared and I on our wedding day with our wedding party.
That is all for now, but I promise there is more to come! Let me know if you want to come see my new room!

YAY for cabinets!

Here they are!!!! Mountain Crest did my cabinets and I love them! They were worth the wait! Jared's brother Cody and Brother in law Jared both work for Mountain Crest. Cody actually came to install them!So here he is carrying in a drawer!Here is Grant watching Uncle Cody install them!Here is a picture of the opposite side of the room. It says "follow you heart" on the wall! And it is really messy still because I havent even moved in half of all my crap. I dont just want to move it all in, I am organizing it all as I go.And here are the cabinets! Like I said I LOVE them!

As soon as the room is complete, if you want to come over and see it or come over and scrapbook with me I would love the company!!! YAY!!!

Yay for carpet!

Here it is, the room with the new carpet. I love it!

I am starting to move a few things in to the closet. Even though we ordered the cabinets several weeks ago that is the only thing we are waiting on. The wall opposite from the closet will be wall to wall custom cabinets and I am so anxious to get them in! Hopefully it will be very soon!

By special request!

STUFF

Grant had silly hair day at school today. He wanted to color his hair red so thats what we did! Last night we went to dinner to celebrate Opa's 87th birthday! It is always so much fun to get together with these guys and I am so happy Opa seems to be doing much better.

Me BJ and Susu
Grant Syssa and Nicker

BJ and Alan
Gerda and Opa Looking good!

My daddy and mommy Doesnt mom looks awesome? She has already lost 40 lbs. and is doing wonderful with her new HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (it's not a diet)

And here some pictures of my scrapbook room.
Just clearing out the last of the junk

Jared and I ripped out the carpet last night and the painter is coming today to paint!

Wedding of the year

Jared's dad got remarried on Saturday. They went through the Jordan River temple and then had an open house at the church. It was simple and beautiful. Here are a few pictures! Poor Craig didnt know I was taking this picture.

The newly weds out side the temple!
Grant and Uncle Shane

Grant on the way to the church. What a stud!
My handsome boys all dressed up and ready to go.

I am angry because I didnt feel great and I was just not really myself this day so I didnt get many photos. I would have liked to have gotten a lot more.

I am so happy for Craig because it is obvious that Christine truly makes him happy and he really deserves that! Christine is so good to Craig and it is great to watch them together.

(not to mention, she is so good with Grant and he really likes her!)

Official soccer team mom!!! GO #5

So Jared is coaching Grant's soccer team and I think he is pretty excited. He had a coach's meeting on Tuesday night and when he got home he had a team roster and uniforms in hand. Our team got stuck with this horrible neon yellow color. He asked me to be the team mom, so I am now the OFFICIAL team mom. Whatever that means. I think it just means I will be cutting up a lot of oranges in the next month or so. But I would do anything for my little soccer man.

For anybody who would like to come to any of his games, get your pen and paper out and post it on your fridge. We would love to see you at any of the games you can make it to. He plays on Thursdays and Saturdays! Games are played at Dimple Dell Rec. Center and they are outside games!
