Cami suggested that we hang all of our snowflakes, so with a little tape n' yarn we've got them hung. Every day they make a couple more, and the flakes have gotten half way through our living room already! Hopefully we can fill the rest by Christmas :). 
On Saturday we took family pictures because to our sweet pleasure, we had every single family member all present! What a treat! My brother Jake and his family flew in from Missouri and we played hard! I don't think the kids got to sleep before 11 o'clock all weekend, and that's including no naps, yikes! But what memories we all had. These are some pics of all the grandkids. Poor William, he was so miserable that day, sick like no other. He was such a good sport about it all. So from left to right we have: Carson, William, Mick, Logan, Colton, Mason, Alex, Kate, Brooke, Cami, McKenzie, and Tate. And 2 more on the way... so in a few years we'll have to do this all over again :). 
We were missing William on this one because he was feeling so awful, poor guy.
Haha, now here is our true colors ;)
I love snow on Saturdays. The kids get up and they're out in the snow first thing, forget breakfast! So Jer and I took our time this morning getting ready and breakfast on the table while the kids were occupied. No rush to get kids off to school. Love it. And I always get a kick out of our white dog in the snow :).
Second off, our pantry door. I've been needing to do SOMETHING with this door... stained or painted, either way. So Jer came up with an awesome idea to splash it with some color. So we took some left over paint and colored it a deep cranberry red. Love it. Before:
After: Now just as a side note, I would advise anyone who doesn't have a steady hand, such as myself... use vinyl! Lol. I only say this, because it took me 2 hours to hand paint that phrase. From a distance it looks great. Up close it's a different story. Haha, but that's okay... it has ME written all over it.
Third, we now have good tasting water. At times I wondered if our water was one of the reasons I got so naustious, so much chlorine. Even Cami refused to drink it, which became difficult to get her to drink Any water. But now Jer drilled and installed a new filter system, which we can't seem to get enough of. To tell you the truth I was alittle nervous at first when he brought out the drill... metal and drilling aren't my favorite match... but alas, it turned out perfect. Love you Jer. 
Our garage had no shelving and so Jeremy did an all day project, w/ the help of Carson in the morning and me in the afternoon, to change that.
One whole side of our garage is complete w/ ample amounts of shelving, and I love it!! I was practically jumping up and down when it was almost done ;).
We finished it right before home teachers came over, so we had to just stuff things in places for the time being, (organization later). But Now most of our garage stuff fits all on one side instead of all over, it's such a fabulous feeling. Looks like a bit of a mess still obviously, but you get the gist. Thank you Jeremy!
