My Handy Man...




Tom is amazing. He is great at a lot of things. One of my favorite things about Tom is that he is very handy. He built these 5 tier shelves in just a couple of days. Now we have a place to put all of our crap...did I say crap? I meant we have a place to put our STUFF. The word crap is more fitting though. :) Thanks Tom! We appreciate the sacrifices you make for our family.

When it's quiet...






It is NEVER good when 2 toddlers are quiet. I was actually cleaning the other bathroom and when I came to find them...this is what I found. I just finished cleaning that bathroom too. I guess it got super cleaned that day. By the way, Tom dressed them...The shirts and pant are cute, but the combo is...interesting. :) Kenzie just struggles to STAY dressed...hence the no pants. :)

Louuuuu and Bennnn!

Kenzie got ahold of some Doritos. I still think this picture of Tom and Kenzie is VERY cute.
Justin, Brooke's cute little guy


Lou and Ben came to visit us a little bit ago and I can't believe I didn't get a picture with Ben too! They girls love Ben and Lou! They were driving through IF and stopped in for an hour or so. It was fun to see them and sad too. It is weird not living so close to Lou and Ben now. We miss that. Good thing they like to travel!

Shavin'





The girls are always very curious anytime they watch Tom shave so this time Tom let them shave him. Brooklyn was scared to even be by the razor, but warmed up to the idea once she saw Kenzie do it.

The zoooooo!






















We are official annual zoo pass owners. We had A LOT of fun at the zoo and on the drive home the girls couldn't stop talking about how cool the animals were. We went with my sister Brooke and her 2 kids. I am loving Idaho even more because there really is a lot to do here. I find my days are filled with fun places to take my kids and only 15 minutes away...at the most!

The life of a kid...

Random picture...but something I have to document because he does it so willingly. Tom building some MASSIVE shelves in our new garage. I love that I married a cute, handyman.
The girls took the watercolors and painted each others toes.





Brooklyn painting "her house". She just LOVES to draw and paint.
Just hanging out in "their house". They spent a good hour in there just talking, playing and "sleeping".

Kenzie with her "bankie" and baby. Rarely are these 3 ever apart. Kenzie also always bites her blanket. She also bites towels and other blankets. I have holes in some of my towels because Kenzie just chews right through them. And yes, she still eats books.




We have now lived here for almost 3 weeks. The girls are LOVING that they can go outside and play all day long. There are 2 little girls next door that come knocking on the door every morning for the girls to play. It is really cute. Brooklyn always tells me that she needs to go see her friends and play. When they are outside they run through the sprinklers, paint, draw with sidewalk chalk, play in "their house", (I took our refrigerator box and put snacks in there. They call it their house and I have to knock to be able to come in) and ride bikes. They are in heaven!
