Bonus Room

I don't think I have really blogged about it but we have been in the process since about Feb. finishing our Bonus Room - Jeremy's parents and a friend of theirs really came through. They pretty much did all the Insulation, Drywall, and Trim and we all learned a little along the way. We still need to do a few things in the closets but other than that it is now done. We got carpet yesterday and it looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

This is the kids space that was supposed to be unfinished storage but it is going to be where all the toys go and they are going to have a tv on the wall so they can watch their shows if we are up there watching a movie or something. We are eventually getting a TV Projector attached to the ceiling and the pull down screen for a home theatre type room.

And for now until we get the TV this is how the main room is set up.

This is the closet that was supposed to be unfinished storage also but we finished it out as well and it will house all the electronics and some Christmas totes that are too big to fit in the attic. We still need to do some trim in this room as you can see.

Wesley's Favorite Food

Wesley had grown very fond of PIZZA - These were taken after Bradley's Birthday Party and I thought they were really cute - Enjoy!

Bradley's Actual Birthday (June 11th)

Since we had his party early on the 11th we had Dinner and a cake and let him open his gifts from me and Jeremy. He got to blow out the candle which he informed me he didn't get to do at his party (I really didn't think he would notice - What was I thinking). He picked spaghetti as his dinner choice but we had to hurry because he was attending Bible School at a friends church so we had to cram in dinner, cake and presents into about an hour.

Bradley's 4th Birthday

Bradley turned 4 on June 11, 2008. I can't believe he is already that old. Time has just flown by. We had his party on June 7th at Pump Up The Fun (PUTF) in Barboursville. Above was his invitation. Inside the invite was a comic strip explaining how to get to PUTF. I do have to say this invitation was one of my favorites that I have done for him. It turned out really cute. Anyway here are a few pics of PUTF - it is an indoor inflatable center and the kids just have a blast going from the slides to the jumping things to the obstical courses.

This is one thing they have for smaller kids and Wesley loved it.

He also enjoyed the Jupiter Jump

The big slide is a real hit with the kids and the adults

I haven't posted this but Wesley can walk even though he prefers to crawl and Wendy captured him taking a few steps

I thought these were very cute so I thought I would post them

Here are the kids favors and the cupcakes I made.

And Dad and Mom got the boys Trees for their birthdays since they really didn't NEED anything specific and we need some trees in our yard since it is a new development. So here are the boys with their trees.

And until next year, Bradley - Happy Birthday!!!

Wesley Turns O-N-E

Well I know it was about 3 weeks ago but I just got the pictures from MOM - but my baby turned one on May 25. I can't belive he is already a year old. Anyway, we had a joint party with the neighbors - their daughter Laci turned 2. (That is their house - Katie that is Angie (Carter) Hager's house and it was her little girl who turned 2)

So we had an outdoor bash for the both of them and had it catered by Good Stuff Good Times.

Welsey loved his car

Hated his swing

and since he woke up that morning with a snotty nose he wasn't really in a Party mood. But he did dive into his cake - however, he didn't really eat any of it.

Then came Laci's big gift which is funny we didn't even get any pictures of Laci actually in the car but the boys all fought (See Bradley in Tears) over this pimped out Princess Car.

So Wendy thought she would get in on the act.

Then the after Wesley's Party - Party which included water balloons, corn hole and sandboxes.

Katie - the boy in the orange and white OshKosh shirt is Ben, Shannon's little one. She is having another boy in August (Ben will be 2 in December). Just thought you might be interested in seeing him. And I love the last one that is (from L to R) Reece, Chase (Angie's little boy), Bradley and Nicholas. They all seemed to have a really good time. When I get pictures of Bradley's Birthday I will post those too. Next year I will probably have their parties together since they are so close. One Invitation, One set of Favors, One Party, One Day, One Happy Mommy! I really enjoy planning them but two parties in two weeks was a little much.

Bradley's End of the Year Swim Party

Well as I mentioned in the "Year End Evaluation" post Bradley's Class had a Swim Party at the Cross Lanes Pool his last day of school. Mom took him since I am short on leave days, she said it was very cold but everyone swam and seemed to have a good time. Here are a couple of pictures.
