The finished masterpiece

Hard at work building a gingerbread train

Not sure how he isn’t suffering from heat exhaustion

Before and after bathroom cabinets

I love how they turned out! And so proud of my first home "renovation" project!

So cool he’s gotta wear shades

If we let him go into the fire he would

He loves to be close!

So far so good!

Before and during...

Stay tuned for "after!"

1 week in the bag!

Walking the ‘hood, looking at the lights

It was a beautiful night so we walked around the neighborhood with hot chocolate, Christmas tunes blaring from my phone, and looked at the Christmas lights. The boys remembered us doing this last year and were excited to continue the tradition.

Breaking out Christmas!

After a weekend of so-so behavior....

Me:  i love you no matter how you behave.

Trey:  and I love you no matter how you react to my behavior.  

Really?? A snowman before Halloween?

Halloween all month at Great Wolf Lodge!

The boys got to go trick-or-treating yesterday around the building, no costume required!

Handsome 6th grader!

Jonah's first concert!

Imagine Dragons at the TMobile Area in Vegas

The opening bands were horrible so we walked around for a while and eventually found a roof deck with couches so we stayed there for an hour.

The band didn't go on until 10pm (11 colorado time), so jonah was absolutely exhausted by that time. During the middle he sat down for a while and might have taken a little cat nap. But he got his second wind at the end!

I was writing down the setlist on my phone and Jonah knew every song with the first few notes that were played. His memory for music and lyrics is pretty incredible. I'm hoping this will inspire him to practice guitar more often. :)

It was an awesome concert!

Jonah hit the jackpot!

Too bad he won 1,000 tickets in the arcade and not $1000 on the real slots. :(
