Mostly April + a little May

 Kyzer started his 1st year of Soccer at the beginning of April and he LOVEd it! His 1st game didn't go great, but after that game they got the hang of things and did pretty darn good. The 1st game they played a team that was twice their size (it seemed) and they just pushed and shoved and pulled them down to get the ball.  They held it together though, and played right through the whole game! It was only for 5 weeks, but he enjoyed it and can't wait to play next year!

His 1st Game!

 He tried so hard!

His 5th and final game of the year! 

Look at him go!

 The last game was quite the competition! They worked really hard and WON by several points though!

WE WON!!!!!

Planting some raspberries in April

SpiderMan is quite the builder

So, funny story! I decided it was time to start watering the lawn and trees, and I forgot to turn the water off before we went to bed. (Which it should have been ok, the weather hadn't been very cold and it was the end of April.) When Kyzer got up the next morning he hollered "Mom, theres ice on the tree!),  I then looked out the window to find this...

I believe this was the beginning of May...

I stepped outside to check on the boys one day and found them like this. 

They LOVE their Darla!

We welcomed our New Nephew Hudson Neil Olt on May 3rd 2013.

 The boys sure do Love their Cousin!

1/30/11 Day two of Kitchen/ Living Room project

Ben patched the holes and cracks.

Hole in the wall...no longer a hole.

   

Wall and ceiling are now joint :)

Living Room patch

After Ben patched the everything we went for a drive and Ben tried out my new snowboard ( since I can't for a while).

I love these pictures!

If you look real hard you can see Ben getting strapped into the snowboard.

He's been going threw this, I can't smile phase.

BUUUUT... I made him laugh and got a pretty good shot!

Not sure why but, I love this picture!

It was a beautiful day!

It's amazing how much can be going on in such a small space.

This one is great too.

These next two are also GREAT!

 My fave of the two.

Benji took Ky on the snowboard

He loved it!

Drywall Project-Living Room & Kitchen

Well, in order to get our house sold with a profit we had to do some work on it. Which we knew, and we bought it with plans to fix it up and sell. Well, the biggest thing is the drywall in almost the whole house. Lets just say these people are ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS when it comes to getting a drywall job done right! Ben worked for his uncles drywall company for 5 years and is definitely a Professional at it. He does little side jobs for people once in a while and they always recommend him to friends. LUCKY US! That makes fixing up the house all the more cheaper and easier for us. 

Anyways, we started on our Living Room and Kitchen on January 29th and it took us longer than planned, but thats because we ran into more problems then we thought we had with it.

There are lots of pictures and there will be several post, but to show everything we had to fix, it's taking lots of pictures.

DAY 1:

Benji got everything masked off and sanded and stuff dug out that had to be replaced.

Living Room. the tan coloring above the pink is from wall paper that I steamed off almost a year ago. Sorry, I should have gotten a picture of it before ripped it all off, but I forgot.

 Kitchen

 See the bulging in the wall? Yeah, turns out they didn't even butt the sheetrock together on a stud, which caused it to do this. Ben had to dig it all out and fill it in, which made our project take way longer than planned.

 Kitchen Window. Ben was doing the scraping on the window frame and seal and got to noticing under the paint was a little wet. So he went to town on ripping out all the sheetrock. Once he got into it, we saw that there was very little insulation in there and some of the boards we not even nailed to anything and because of this VERY POOR sealing... caused moisture and what little insulation was in there was sopping wet. grrr... anyways, Ben re-nailed new boards in to make a better fame, insulated it good, caulked it all off to seal out the moisture, and then he had to get new sheetrock and fix that.

 Kyzer's favorite part... The Ladder!

 My little Cutie

 Under the Living Room window. more bulging and cracks.

 Kitchen. They didn't even butt the sheetrock together in the corners...RIDICULOUS!

 This was one of the bulges in the Living Room. This one was the most work.

FAMILY OUTING 1/23/11

I love these pictures! We decided to take a drive one sunday afternoon down one of the wood cutting area roads just down the road from our house. These are the adorable pictures I took.

Before we left the house.  Pretty cute huh?

It sure was pretty out there even though it was -20 degrees.

Exploring

Going to find Daddy

YAY...he found him!

My Boys

Guitar Lessons

I know I know... I have the cutest boys EVER! These pictures are from January 22nd but I love them so I had to share.  Ben LOVES to play Guitar and so does Kyzer!  Kyzer got this little guitar from my little sister Shandell right before christmas (it was one she got for Christmas from my brother Nic 6 years ago, lets just say she has out grown it). She wanted Kyzer to have it, and yes it has flowers on it but we are going to repaint it soon (one of our projects). He can't really play anything but he does love to strum and sing at the same time. He even got his dad to give him a pick so he can play like daddy and he has to break out his guitar anytime daddy does. I have a video but it won't let me upload it on here because it's too big (it's on my new camera so the quality is too advanced for blogger) :( so here are the pictures I got one day of them playing together.

Taken a little break

so serious!

Just Lately

We've been trying out underwear.

He loves to help daddy haul wood

Halloween

ready to go play in the snow

I have no idea why it switched these pictures around.

For Halloween we just took Ky to our ward party. They had lots of games, food, and trick-or-treating for the little ones.
