The Kids!

We went to the State Fair. It was Stevie's first time. He absolutely loved seeing the tractors! If you look close enough to this picture though, you will see that he really is not happy. He was terrified to stand in the tire. And the wonderful mom I am, had to hurry and snap the picture!!

This kid is scared of nothing! (Well except for tractor wheels!) You had to pay a quarter to get some feed for the animals, but lucky for me, my brilliant son picked up feed on the ground that others had dropped! Such a good boy for saving me some money!!

The two kids just goofing off! Stevie just loves his little sister. He is always by her trying to make her happy! Here he laid by her and she was just watching him be his silly self!



One of my favorites of Adalyn! And I took it mysefl! She is such a precious little girl!

Vail's

Sorry I have not posted in a long time. I have been quite busy lately, and then every time I try to post pictures on here the kids will start throwing fits. So, sorry no pictures yet and sorry for no posts!

Tim has started back to school yesterday, which is happy and sad. Its nice to get things back into more of a routine, but sad to not have the extra set of hands.

Our house is still a work in progress. We have picked out colors for our kitchen, yellow and maroon. It may not sound good, but when you see the colors, its really pretty. The colors in our bedroom are a camel color, brown, and burnt orange. I know that sounds a little halloweenish, but I like the colors together and Tim did too, so since we both agreed then we stuck to that! I want to paint now, (for those who dont know all walls are wood paneling). I would sand the walls, put some spackle on the cracks, prime and paint. But Tim wants to take all wood paneling out, put in studs and dry wall. That would be nice, but take forever. And make a huge mess. So I dont know what will happen. I also saw an ad on TV for carpet squares. I love this idea. You can interchange colors of the squares, etc. plus if you have a stain on one, just get a new square!! Tim, for those of you who know his latest phrase, thinks its white trash. UGH! I really dont think it is, hopefully I can talk him into one of my ideas.
