Camp Run-A-Muk

Well Carlie mad it anther year!! She just turned 7 in the 19th of January. I gave her a list of themes she could pick from to do her party in this year and she pick Camp Carlie I have to say I had fun planing it but Then Seth came in and said lets do it at Outer Limits Fun Zone. So then she wanted to do that so I just tryed to do my best on doing the camp theme with the Outer Limits! I think it turned out good  and I think every one had a lot of fun!

 her is her invitations I made I let her pick out the colors of her party and she picked out 

Green, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Blue, and Brown. It was very cute

 I had to work at Geraldine's Bake Shoppe and Deli the morning of her Birthday so I make her this BIG sugar cookie. She wanted to eat it for breakfast but I would let her. 

Here is her Cake!! I love how different it is for a Birthday Cake. I found it on the internet and the lady that made if had the recipe for the graham cracker part so I mad it all 

I had the cake all made and sitting on the table (the day of Carlie Birthday) and I walk into the kitchen and found KayLee siting on the table, and she told me " I eat Carlie's cake" and had taken this chunk out of it. I didn't have any more frosting to just fill it in so this is how it went to the party. 

 I know the cake would feed every one so I made cupcakes for eveyone with mini smore's on them that I made as well 

I made her a birthday  banner to go with the theme 

and then I went to the DI and found these jars and came up with little thing to fill them up with that were camping things so her have Twigs (pretzels)

 Catch of the Day (Swedish fish)

 we had our Grizzly bears (gummy bears)

And what would be camping with out snakes. (gummy warms)

I made a Smore's trail mix as well 

 Then I had some glass picture frames that I painted the back sides of them in the colors of her party and cut out then little animals to go with every thing 

I have to say I think I over did my self I love the decorations I made for the party!

 Here is one group picture 

 I love the BIG grin she has on her face she was loving having every one sing to her! 

I let her have a Friends party ever other year so it lands on her odd birthdays and this is a year she got to have friends come to her party. 

I love how I got her blowing out the candle and you can still see a little flame as she is blowing it out 

 then it was time to open gifts 

 I love this picture she was so happy to get the beads!!

 this one was a good one for her as well she just love to draw and color. 

 Outer Limits takes the birthday party to the back where the miniature golf is and takes a picture of the party and then they print it up and give it to the Birthday Girl as a card for her birthday! I was so nice that they did that 

 I love the colors of  everything in the black lights so I was trying to get some pictures of them. They all are blurry but it still looks cool 

 Carlie was in this one 

And this one is KayLee

 I tried to get pictures of everyone playing but it didn't turn out as well. But here is Kaiden and Joey 

 My Brother Adam 

 Spencer helping Carlie get some candy

and then Adam and the boys and Carile cashing in there tickets so they could buy there prizes. 

It was a very fun day and I just can't get over how BIG she is getting. It fills like I just had her.
She keeps me on my toes and I love her for that she is a wonderful BIG sister to KayLee and 

loves her family very much. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have her in my life! 

Love you Carlie and stop Growing please you make me fill old!

New Family Room

When we moved in to our house 9 years ago we had a room in the house that was not finished and it use to be a garage that was being turned into some room and we wanted to do it as a Family room. For 9 years it was just a junk spot if we didn't know where to put it, it got put in the garage so it had a lot of crap in it all the time. It was also my laundry room as well but my washer and dryer were not together one was on one end of the room and the other was on the other end of the room. You can see all the junk in the room and my washer and dryer in the 1st to Pictures!

 

 I have been wanting to work on this room for so long but we had a cat and we had some issues with it using the littler box and Seth said when the cat was gone we could work on it. Well that cat go sick and needless to say we got rid of the cat and I could get my room done! YAY!! But then... he told me it would have to wait till his hunts are over before we can start so I told him as soon as he got his deer we had to start an the room will he got his deer the 2ed week went went hunting so then we could finally start on the room!! YAY again!!! Well the door going in to the room was WAY to small to get any big thing in when we got our new washer and dryer it took some work to get it in the door. So we talk to my Grandpa (he is excellent in this kind of stuff) about the door and her came over to see what it was going to take to make it bigger. So Seth and my Grandpa put the 1st hole in the wall to see what was behind it,

Then I got to put the bigger hole in it!! After we got a idea of what we were going to have to do we got everything out of that room and put in boxes and put down in our basement. 

A few days later what the 1st Saturday we got to work on it and Seth and my Grandpa started on the floor. We raised the floor about 6 inches do to the foundation coming up the sides of the walls for the garage. So to make it look good we just raised the floor to cover it up 

.

We had a cement step in to the room that Seth had to break out and of course I had to go to work so this is the only picture I got of him working on it!

The girls were so excited to help out in the room. Here is a picture of Carlie all dressed up to help 

after I got home from work this is what they had done! It is the start of the sub flooring 

After they got the hold room done it was time to put elation in the floor to help with some heat in the room 

Then I got to help with a little bit of putting the floor in place 

Well after the floor was all in we got to move to the next part which was the door!! here you can see Carlie in the door and how big we are going to make it 

And the New door! I was excited that they could save my wall in the kitchen!

We stilled had some work on the walls for pudding the walls and tapping so the girls where helping with that!

Then it came time to putting my washer and dryer together!! This is really what I have been waiting for, for 9 years. My Dad did help a lot with the room as well this is him and Seth putting them together. We had to move a lot of pips to move the washer over to this spot. 

Then Seth and my Grandpa made this new wall to close it off a little from the room so wasn't a eye sore. 

Then it came time to texturing the walls so we could start to paint 

Seth painting 

He did a lot of all the work I didn't help out as much as I would have liked he did a lot of work way I was at work and I had to try to keep kids out of the way when they where doing all the floor and heavy stuff. 

But I did get one of KayLee helping him paint 

After we got the painting done We put up the new ceiling fans that I have had picked out for about 3 years or so and let me tell you they were pricey and I was going to get something else but Seth new how bad I wanted them (because I haven't stop talking about them for 3 years) so he got them for me anyways! They are going with us when we move I do know that!

 Just look at them how could you not love them! Well I guess they do scram me and the tip of  girl I am 

Then come the floor I am in love with that too! it looks so nice!! 

Seth Brother Spencer and his wife Sara came down to help with the floor so way Seth and Spencer worked on the floor Sara and I pained the baseboards. We got a lot done that day Thanks to Spencer and Sara! (they might not fill like they did a lot but they were a big help)

Here's the floor done 

 and working on baseboards 

The room all done and we got it 100% done right after Christmas this is our new TV for the room we got for Christmas 

So I just had to add this last little picture at the end just so I had it but as you can see I have a black shirt on and he thought it would be funny to put hand prints on my boobs. He had been sanding on the walls getting them ready to texture the walls!!
