Finn Gets Physical...

So Finn isn't even 20 months old...he doesn't say much, but his physical/gross motor development is crazy! This morning he started doing forward rolls and he started galloping!! He already jumps with two feet off the ground and runs like a mad-man! He climbs on everything and loves to wrestle! Such a BOY!!

Goofy in the car

He really could hang at Rainbow Park

He said "No baby" to Kenny- like don't hold me like a baby!

He's got the hang of corn on the cob!

Celebrating the first week of school with the Deisings at Time Out Frozen Yogurt

Lucy's 1st Day of Ballet/Tap/Tumbling at Amanda's Dance

Yogurt Butt- gross!

Jake slept over for the first time!!

I never want to forget how he feeds himself at this stage! He uses two hands!

Finn reaches out to grab our hands to sing the blessing, and he even is able to hum the tune! Sometimes he even closes his eyes really tight!

Looks so big in his crib!

The Big Boys!

Finn really liked this mannequin at Bealls.

HAHA!

Twins!

Delaney and Lucy loved Mina, the chihuahua that Dan and Rhonda were dog-sitting.

Jordan came over to play after school with Lucy and they had a tea-party lunch!

Kids playing at the Fantasy Football Draft Party!  They were trying to choreograph a dance!

The benefits of the girls being back in school- Finn and Mommy time at the library!

Girls Bedroom Re-do

Kenny and I had been talking about getting the girls bunk beds or Kenny building them loft beds to be able to get them more space in their room for desks as they get older.  Kenny had been figuring out plans, but then we went to IKEA and found this bunk bed so cheap that it didn't make sense to build them ourselves.  I also decided to just re-do the WHOLE room and give it a new vibe!  I have been browsing Pinterest for inspiration and came up with a bunch of fun ideas! We still are going to paint the bunk beds white, but wanted to get them set up and see how they looked with the new wall colors.  The girls decided Delaney would get the top bunk for this year, then Lucy gets the top starting next year!

Step 1: BUILD IT!

Step 2: Climb all over it!

Lucy insisted that this framed picture of Jeff get hung in the bottom bunk with her!

Primed the old vertical stripes and added new horizontal stripes! Much more relaxing!

Cheapo bookcase re-do: added graphic fabric to the back for a pop of color!

Desk re-do: spray painted the neighbors hand-me-down desks!  The girls LOVE them!

Wresting in the "almost finished" project!
