Oh my Gosh!!!

Well we went out to Arizona to check out the house. Holy cow the renters jacked it up pretty bad - we still made the best out of the weekend! We got the painting started and met my BFF's husband in Glendale where he was kind enough to get us into the NFL Experience which was soooo much fun!

1 of 3 holes in the carpet

I just loved all the stains on the 2 year old carpet and the awesome works of Crayola art on all the walls.

I don't even want to know what that is!

Painting over the hideous yellow paint












I love this cocoa brown color we used in the living room. Please note the totally awesome 90's "chandelier" in the dining room.

We got a little work done and then the boys picked out their rooms - but the highlight of the weekend had to be Marcus cutting off his afro. I can't believe how much cuter he looks and he even looks taller. I have to say - he is one good lookin' kid!

Christmas and New Years

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Christmas was great this year. Between JoJo having his first Christmas program and getting 2 weeks off from work - I can't complain. We tried to relax as much as possible. We were able to celebrate with everyone this year. Christmas Eve and Christams morning we were with the Bratton Fam and then Christmas Day and the day after - we partied all over again with the Temple Fam.

For New Years Eve and Day, we went over to Heather's house for yummy food, once she and I put together the BBQ, games and some PS2 rock Band - it was a ton of fun. Her sis Shannon and her youngest Mandy were there and we laughed in the new year!
