Mom and Dad Coming Home

It is the best reaction! It was so great to be there, they were so surprised! :)

Wish lists

I was wondering if everyone would be willing to post a little wish list for each kiddie in your family.  I thought it might help us pick out gifts for them if we knew what they wanted.  If you already have something in mind, or if you choose not to get items on the list, that is PERFECTLY FINE!!!  But, I thought it might help steer us in the right direction.

My New Room

As you can see from the previous post, we had a blast with Tiffany and the kids here in Houston. Between our many trips to Sheriee's to swim, our adventure to the Children's Museum, our attempt to have a picnic in the park on a HOT and HUMID day in July, our shopping day at Kohl's, our puppet shows, and the delicious ice cream tasting event, Tiffany helped me redecorate my room. I had every intention of taking before pictures but realized I didn't after the room was put together. These few videos are the only pictures I have of our room. Notice the peach walls, the rust colored comforter, and the blue/brown curtains (what an awful combination). It was in despereate need of a makeover.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I'm still working on a few details. I need something bigger above the bed but haven't found just the right thing yet. So if you have a room that's in need of a makeover, you know who to call.

Thanks Tiff!

Houston

Me, Corb, Sweet Pea, and Bostie, went to see these cutie pies last week!  Here are a few highlights:

Chloe:  I think those flowers need some watering

Flowers: Mmmm, chlorine water. *choke*, "gasp!"

Sherie was nice enough to let us use her pool several times.  She even made snow cones for the kids.

Bring me a goblet of something refreshing to drink!!

Sword fight.  The ladies were dressed as princesses and were cheering them on from the sidelines. 

Corbin thought the order of these next 2 pictures was hilarious.  He wanted me to make sure and include this on the post:

Here's mom doing all the work.....

while Aunt Amber takes it easy!  (In reality we know that is absolutely NOT TRUE!!)

We went to Kohl's.  We paired up the kids and told them they could explore the store.  They were so excited.

Brityn and Channing off to see what they could see.

Corbin had Chlo and Bostie trapped like rats in a shopping cart.

Things were going so smoothly, until an older lady came up to Corbin and told him the store wasn't a playground and the shopping carts weren't toys.  This took the wind out of their sails & scared them to death, and so we left shortly after that to go eat at chick-fil-a.  Low and behold who is also eating there?  The mean lady!!  I really wanted our kids to run back and forth passed her booth yelling and being obnoxious, but I decided to be the bigger person and let the poor women just observe our circus from a distance. 

 

Nap time?  Yeah right.

Puppet show with plastic spoons and pipe cleaners.  Amber is so creative 

Children's Museum:

Chlo trying to choke down Tiffs Famous Spinach Potatoes:

Trying really hard not to gag.

Still there.

Then she spits the bite out into her had and says:  I just can't.  This is........this is really gross.

Cracked me up!  I don't think Amber was amused.

We had a really fun time.  There was also a hilarious incident involving a squirrel, but that really needs to be told in person.  Thanks Amber for a great time!

Good times

Aunt Kylee's nail salon, set up by our genius dad, at the kitchen table.  Taija went first.

Little Grandog Zoe supervised and took a time out from all the crazy kids chasing her by resting with Grandpa.

Next up, Brityn.  

See this Musk ox's horns?  I casually mentioned that this is what my bangs look like when my hair air dries right out of the shower.  No one disagreed, and everyone laughed and nodded.  Next thing I knew this was posted on the bathroom door!

Sleep over at Grandma Streams:  (left to right) Dagen Cottam, Corbin Wade, Boston Wade, about 10 of Dace's stuffed animals, Dace Behling, Taija Olsen, Taija's carebear that she got at the price D.I., Brityn's teddy bear, Brityn Wade, Brityn's red teddy bear (which has a round badge on the front that says "Jillian's all you can eat, drink and play) that she got at the D.I. in price, & Kodi Cottam.

*Dace told Corbin and me, "I didn't really want to do a sleep over because I will miss my dad, so I'm just doing this for all you kids."

Corbin, Brityn, and Dace at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house.

Me and my kids, (minus Boston who stayed to play with Dagen at Grandma's house) got to attend the open house.  It was so beautiful!!   The kids were very reverent and had lots of questions.  

Aut and Dace.  Dace originally didn't feel like going but about half way through our tour he said: "Mom, I changed my mind.  This is beautiful!"

Thanks everyone for making it such a fun trip, and for taking time out of your busy schedules to spend some time with the kids and me.   It really means a lot to us.  Love you all!
