Christian turns 14

Christian's Birthday was last Sunday (Father's Day). We met Kim at Fast Lanes Saturday morning for tons of fun. We bowled and the kids played video games. My favorite was the laser tag. The girls beat the guys!

The 29 inch pizza was awesome!

Bree's New Room

I have wanted to change Breanna's room since I moved in. The color "sea foam blue" was just terrible and I hated the way it was painted with the walls, ceiling, doors and trim all being the same color. We have promised her for years it would be redone but Scott wanted to wait until we had new windows put in. Well, I decided not to wait. Before:

What kind of room does a girl fixing to turn 16 want? Well of course racer pink and opera purple. She picked the colors but hasn't seen it yet.

The curtains are a birthday gift for her from my mom. On the purple wall is a pink curtain and on the pink wall is a purple one. The comforter is a gift from us.

I'm so jealous. I want to live in her room! I would have never got finished in a week if it wasn't for my mom helping me. She is the best painter I have ever seen. I had it all ready her to come home on Friday (except for hanging some stuff on the wall) just to find out they are staying another week with their mom so I have to wait another week to see the look on her face.

You tell your kids to dream big! But. . . .

We always have the kids make a birthday wish list. All we have heard from Breanna was she didn't care what kind, she just wanted a car. Well, we sold our motor home a week or so ago and while Scott was out side completing the paperwork, Breanna sat down at the computer and made us her 16th birthday wish list. . .As you can see her dreams are a lot bigger than anything we could ever pay for. I mean who would ever think of a Mercedes at 16. I don't think anything on her list was under $20,000 and everything was 2002 or newer. Scott has to break the news that she was looking at too new of cars. So, I guess we will see what happens.
