Kitten Squabble

Every night Fry's wild side comes out.

Also, side note...That 70's Show is super distracting in the background.  Eric's parents just found out he sleeps in the nude.  Hence so much talk of "Mr. Nude."

Logan's Room

Out with girly Frozen theme, in with dinosaurs.  It took FOREVER for these boys (Logan and Jimmy) to settle in on colors they both are happy with.  Here we are! I want it to not get too cluttered with decorations, but I don't feel like it's all the way done.  The next thing to tackle are curtains.  This room gets to be one of the hottest in the house thanks to the way his window faces.

The sign is from Hobby Lobby.  it says "Always be yourself unless you can be a dinosaur.  Then always be a dinosaur."

It happened, he's 6!!

The grandma's were on the same wave length...watches.  He loves them both!  Not just a watch of course, a dinosaur watch (along with other dino things).  He was in dino heaven for his birthday!

 These storms have been insane.  The day this video was taken there was the dust storm with major wind at the beginning, then the below with rain and wind, there was even a bit of hail.  Did I mention lightening and thunder? There were so many trees uprooted from this storm.  Fun to watch from the window nice and safe.

What do I paint our kitchen?

Making decisions...NOT my strong suit.  I got paint samples to get a better look at each one.  I like and don't like them for all different reasons.

This one...this gray looks really green in the evening.  Then it picks up on a ton of blue during the day.  I don't get it, but I like the contrast it has to the white on the ceiling.  I am annoyed though with the cabinets as they seem out of place and I would likely feel the need to paint them white.  Another project...

Then there's a lighter gray.  It has a very airy feel about it.  But it is very close to white, in fact if the ceiling weren't white it might be hard to tell.  Again would need to paint the cabinets white.  Another bonus on this one is it does not pick up on weird hues as easily as the other gray.

This is a yellow white.  Jimmy says he's pretty sure it's white.  I like that it's cheery and light making an open feel.  It does feel a little too close to white after Jimmy mentioned that.  Again, the cabinets feel out of place.

Finally this the latest one I picked up and last night I thought for sure I'd do this.  Maybe I was excited to see more color?  I don't know, but it really looks nice with the cabinets and countertops.  My ONLY concern is how dark it is.  Our kitchen and room is big, so I'm not worried about it making it feel smaller.  Meh...I don't know.

I'm overthinking it.  It's not that hard to repaint it in a few years anyways.  What do you think?

Life on Overload

You ready for my crazy long post!  I am...well, I hope.  So, just before our trip to Oregon we ran into this little critter IN OUR NEW HOME!  Did I mention it was alive...ugh

Our first outing in Oregon was to jump on the strawberries being ripe.  It was hot, but so good.  Everly was just shoveling initially strawberries in her face...then the dirt apparently was too good to pass up.  Seriously loads of dirt clods into that precious face.  What is she missing from her diet?

The cousins needed very little warming up and were just thrilled to spend all their time together.

This was a favorite moment.  We got to see my grandparents and we missed the best shot...she was snuggling for a good while on grandpa's chest.  It was so cute.  You know those moments you try to memorize and then you realize you have a camera.  Bah! So cute!

Did I mention how friendly those cousins get? My goodness Naomi and Logan.  I felt uncomfortable being in the room with them for their level of cuddling.  I mean really...worst than a newlywed couple.  We had to start putting rules on cuddling, hah!

The ocean...doesn't matter the weather there sure is something great about it.  Everly was grabbing the crab shells and chomping on them to Jimmy's dismay.

Berry picking...never enough time for that and never enough things to eat with fresh berries in them.  Picking with Papa is just that much better.

Naomi's performance in Cinderella was terribly cute, ballet.

 Saw a dinosaur store in Lincoln City and that had to be a trip!  They got REAL fossils.  You would have thought it was an awesome baseball cards collection to trade with.  

Bubbles waiting for dinner.

I think it's safe to say Naomi is excited about having another girl in the extended family.  They were so fun to watch together.  Naomi is such a great big sister and cousin looking out for the littles.

And more relaxing in Lincoln City

Their dinner night...spaghetti.

We loved the parents farm.

Oh yeah...Logan and tractors.  If he could have spent the entire time on that tractor he would have.  He was such a nag for Papa to get on their as frequently as possible.  Papa needed a break at one point so Logan needed to take a bathroom break.  Well, he knew that the tractor break was going to be over and couldn't find Papa.  He was flying around the house, down to the shop, to the chicken coop to find that man...haha.  I've never seen that kid more motivated by something.  Too bad that motivation can't be replicated at home, hah!

Nana and Papa's trophy business.  All Logan talks about now is what trophies he's going to make next time he is there.  Currently he wants one for the most ringworm spots...definitely one I want him to win!

Helping Papa set up the metal shear.

And more tractor.  Living the dream.

We won't be seeing us doing this in Arizona anytime soon!

4th of July dinner..ham dinner with a side of Oregon rain

My surprise for Jimmy.  Which these little turkey have really done me in.  I have 11 spots of ringworm currently and counting.  Good thing they are terribly cute because man...  We did name them Fry and Leela.  Jimmy listed a few acceptable names and Logan stuck with the one that had a name like "French Fry".  

My source of headache.  Currently that washer drain hose has been replaced with a new one that won't leak all over the floor.  Still figuring out the details on how we'll get all our downstair floor replaced. 

A surprise visit (with a few days notice) of Grandpa & Grandma!  So fun...they got to experience the ward with us for the first time and our little splash pad/playground.  Not to mention those crazy blowers & dehumidifier in our house.  They were troopers and it was a joy to catch up with them.

She's 1!

We are doing the cake celebration with family in Oregon, but felt like we couldn't ignore that the birthday already happened.  This is what happened...

Clothing Obsession

This girl LOVES to wear laundry or any clothes left on the ground.  

Brother's pajama pants

Dad's garment bottoms, the leg hole is clearly for the head
