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!!

I got some silly string for the kids to spray and we made sure we saved one can for Carlie and This is what she did with it the next morning. She even took the picture of me too!!

Date night!

So we had these tickets that my boss at Geraldine's gave me last year for Christmas and we kind of forgot about them and they expired on the 31st of December so we asked if Spencer and Sara wanted to come with us and have a date night.We went on December 29th 2012. So we had Seth's cousin come over to watch all the kids at our house 
This kids all siting and watching a TV before we left 

We wanted to do dinner and a show but didn't have enough time to go some where nice for dinner so we went and had Kiwi loco 1st and them went to the movie's. Sara took pictures of us and I took one of them with her camera and then I remembered I had mine in my purse so I had her take one of us with mine but I didn't get one of them :( We went to see "Here Comes The Boom" and it was so good and clean. Sara and I where laughing throw the hole thing 
After movie we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and this is what my date was doing almost the hole time . Playing on Spencer's phone playing a game and you where not going to get him to look up for nothing. I tried asking him what he wanted for dinner and her trow the menu at me. We did have to laugh at them one because he was so into that game and was getting mad at the game  
I did get him to look up finally for us to get one pictures of us

Girls Dance Recital 2012

Well the Girls had there 1st dance recital on December 8, 2012 out at Century High School. The girls look so cute. I keep trying to get pictures of them but they just to excited about the hold thing and didn't know what to think about it as well!
I love this one of Carlie 
Carlie keep giving me this fake smile 
And KayLee would stop moving and playing to let me get a good picture of her
This is the best I got of the 2 of them together I'm telling you KayLee is getting harder to take picture of when I want something special
I did get one of her that she did let me get 
and one of Carlie She was like all for letting me get pictures of her on this big day!
My Sister and I put the girls in together so they had some one they new in with them. So here is 2 pictures I took of them I couldn't get one with all 3 girls looking at me if I had Carlie I didn't have KayLee but if I had KayLee I didn't have Carlie I guess that's the way it is right!


I love this one of KayLee she didn't even know I was taking any of her. She is just siting and waiting to go out for the 1st time 
KayLees class was the 1st ones out for our dance group the Diamond Dancers hosting it so we had them dancing too!
poor little miss KayLee just stood there and did nothing but look around she didn't dance at all 
KayLee's class danced 2 times and this is the 2ed time for them and they had to carry her out the 2ed time she just didn't want to go out and do it again 

And she just stud there yet again 
Carlie came out and danced after Kaylee class had already done there 2 dances and she makes me so proud of her. There is only her and one other girl in her class and she got out there and danced all buy her self and did amazing job! She knew the dance better then the other girl. She was the leader 




She just did so good! she shocked  the heck out of all of us and it was everything I had not to cry ! 
She just did amazing job!


Billy The Kid!!

So the Friday after Christmas (December 28th 2012) my Mom and My Sister and my Sisters friend and I went to Fort Hall to go see Billy Dean!! He is a country singer and VERY VERY good LOOKING!!
Right after Seth and I got married 9 years ago my Mom and Sister and I went to go see him in Jack Pot and just loved it. We got pictures with him then and got talk to him and even got invited to stay for the next show! When we hard he was going to be here in Fort Hall we had to go we couldn't pass that up!

So Billy Dean likes it when the crowd gets into his Music so every time it was quiet I would tell my sister friend watch this and I would let out a little yell and he would look over where we were sitting, he didn't know who did it he just know what way it came from and would just give us the best smile ever! I had Robertta take my Camera to take the picture as i yelled to him and she got a good picture of him for me 
Just look at the Smile it just makes my hart bear fast!!

So this is the first time I have tried to put a video on my blog so here's to hopping it worked
