JUST ME & DADDY

Don't you just love daddies and their boys?! Jase and Dustin are best buds, and Jase just loves to be Dustin's sidekick when it comes to building. The pictures above shows Jase helping with the wood floor. He was a little trigger happy with the nail gun, but at least we know the floor isn't going anywhere :) Below are the boys just before church. Dustin asked me to make cookies for nursery, and they both kept sneakin' into the dough. I finally loaded them up a big ol' spoon of cookie dough, and they thought they were in heaven. Aren't they cute? By the way, Dustin just wanted fresh cookies on Sunday...and he knew that telling me they were for the nursery would yield dozens of cookies. Isn't he sly?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

For those of you who don't know me, let's just say, I love my birthday (or birthday month). I'm the big 28 today which means officially late twenties. Dustin's at work until afternoonish, so it's just me and the boys. That alone can sometimes drive me to silliness, hence the pictures. I would have totally pulled off some body poses, but Jase isn't that great with the camera yet. Anyway, Happy Birthday to me!

By the way, this isn't some crazy post by my sisters getting me back for all the blog pranks I've pulled. They don't have my password...he he. Nope, it's really me, really loving my birthday :) I was going to throw myself a surprise party, but my house isn't finished. (Maybe next year.)

REMEMBER WHEN...

yone who wants to play...This is Fun!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember--it can be funny, weird, awkward, random, etc.!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAXON!

Yup, my baby is a year old. We had a low-key birthday with some presents and cupcakes. Jaxon loved opening the presents, and Grandma DeAnn was making him giggle up a storm. For some reason, ripping paper must be hilarious. I love first birthday parties. Jaxon was content ripping paper and playing with the ribbon. His daddy spoiled him, of course, but what's a dad to do when he has such a happy, handsome boy? Anyway, check out the video of Jaxon and Grandma unwrapping gifts. Our little "Jackaroni" was having himself some good times!

KITCHEN FLOOR

For some reason, I tend to blog in threes. I was going to call it a day, but Dustin finished the kitchen floor, and I am loving the finished product, so I had to share it with everyone. Dustin floated the floor on Saturday, and then started working on the actual floor on Monday. His awesome dad came over and helped for the ENTIRE day. Not only did Larry lay the tile, but he supplied the Gatorade. It doesn't get better than that :) I also loved that Larry helped because he is a perfectionist and made Dustin follow the directions for the thinset mud. It was great for the two of them to work together. I took the boys out to visit and Jase jumped right in to help. He told me to get out of the kitchen because the boys were workin'. I am super grateful for Dustin. He is never afraid to work or to get dirty, and I know he inherited this quality from his dad and his mom. So here's to my honey and his family...I will forever enjoy this beautiful floor while I cook, bake, and spend time in the heart of my home--the kitchen :)
