Bathroom Re-do

About a year ago we redid the kids bathroom. With help from Grandma and Grandpa Hansen we tiled around our new tub and then tiled the floor. We also put in a new vanity and mirror.

A year later I finally finished the bathroom by painting the walls and putting in trim. I think it turned out really nice for such a small bathroom.

I also recently pulled out the wire shelves in our bathroom and then I textured, painted, and put in new wood shelves. It turned out really beautiful. I loved the new shelves.

I ordered a new tub for our bathroom so that we could finish using the tile and stuff we have. Hopefully the tub will be here this week or next and we will go to work redoing our bathroom.

The night I told Willy I got a new tub and it would come in the mail; he decided to tear out our old tub so we would be ready for the new one. I am so excited to get our bathroom done, and I am not going to wait a whole year to finish it!

Won't You Be My Valentines?

This year I braved the scissors and let the kids cut out their own hearts. I was really surprised how well they did. I drew a pattern on the paper and then they cut them out. On mine I wrote down things that I loved. Clayton and Sadie were so proud of theirs they taped them to their shirts.
Wyatt decided to put his hearts on his Valentines box he made for school. It turned out really good but then we found out that we really didn't need one.
I saw a cute idea on the internet for heart cinnamon rolls, so that is what I made for my family for their Valentines breakfast, but they don't really look like hearts because I let them raise to long; but they sure tasted good. I was so proud.
Since Valentines was on Saturday this year I wanted it to be special because we had the whole day together. I decorated the table cute for breakfast and kept it that way for the whole day.
Here is the window where we taped our hearts we cut out.
I gave my Valentine strawberries for valentines. They were sooooooooo good.
I had fun dipping some in chocolate, but they didn't turn out very pretty.
Willy gave me two bouquets of flowers this year; I was really surprised. I loved it and they are so beautiful.



The Monday before Valentines we had a really good lesson on love. Then our favorite part was the game. We cut out some big hearts and they had a race to see who could get to the other side of the room first, but they had to stay on one of their two hearts and couldn't touch the floor. It was really fun to watch. The kids did really good, and I think they had fun.


When they were done racing, they used the hearts as airplanes and tried to make them fly. It wasn't a great success, but they enjoyed it.I love my family so much and hope that we can be together forever.

Ice Fishing

Willy has discovered another favorite past-time, ice fishing. So far for the past 2 months we have spent a certain amount of hours each weekend on Sandwash Lake fishing. Some days they caught 4 or so and some days they came home without any, but they had a good time.














Wyatt, Clayton, and Sadie don't have the patience to sit and wait for the fish to bite, so they spent their waiting pulling each other around on the sled and loving every minute of it.














Wyatt got a new pole, but he couldn't stand sitting like this for very long; soon he was out with Sadie and Clayton running as fast as they could around in circles.














Clayton loves fishing more than the other two kids. He sat the longest out of all of them waiting for his turn to "reel one in." He also couldn't resist a free ride on the sled, courtesy of Wyatt.














We were able to talk Great Grandpa, Grandpa, and Shantay to come fishing one time. It was fun to have them their, but they didn't stay a whole long time because the fish weren't biting and Shantay wasn't dressed for the occasion.














Sadie is an all-time fisherman. As soon as Daddy mentions the word fish, she is at his side and waiting to go. She didn't always get to go with the boys; there were a few times she was confined to the house with Mom. But if you give her a choice, she would rather be fishing with Daddy.

What a Busy Season

Sadie got in a little trouble for making a mess and so she had to stand and get cleaned up, but she was not happy about that.












The three tornadoes are happy for a moment.
They got their adenoids and tonsils out so they lived off of popsicle for 2 weeks. They recovered wonderfully and now they are back to their busy selves.














Sadie was supposed to be cleaning her room, but she thought she was hiding instead.
