Another Little Project

Ever since I remodeled Anden's room

I've been searching for the right accent furniture to refinish.

I finally found this potential gem of a nightstand at Goodwill!

So Saturday morning Anden and I started the project!

We sanded,

We painted,

We distressed,

We lacquered.

Now he has an completely original lime green nightstand for a whopping $16! :)

Monster Ball

On Friday night we decided to support

our Anthem Community Center and attend 

Monster Ball

Instead of the usual family theme I let the kids pick their own costumes this time.

Taylee was a Pumpkin Princess!

(I threw in the Princess part to really get her excited about it! lol)

Anden was a Dino Power Ranger

(turned Dino Power Ranger Football player by the end of the night!)

Ryan and I were a cowboy and cowgirl.

We attempted to have Anden take a solo pic of us.

Taylee had other plans and literally jumped into each pic! lol

And then we let Taylee have the camera

And she wouldn't stop clicking away!

Then we were finally off to the Monster Ball.

They had all sorts of activities for the kids.

Glitter tattoos 

(which stay on FOREVER)

Pumpkin Bowling

Mummy Making

Guess which Body Part

Zombie Graveyard

And of course a DJ playing all the favorite Kids Bop Tunes

complete with light/video and smoke show

Taylee, Robbie & Grace busting out their dance moves

This kid was definitely my fave!

He was rocking out all night.

So funny watching the State Puff Marshmallow Man do Gangnam Style! lol

And the best part,

assessing the loot afterwards!

Football Game #2

Football Game #2

10/23/13

This week was MUCH better.

We even scored 2 touchdowns!!

We're still learning how to play the game

or in Anden's case how to run 

FORWARD not BACKWARD

when you get the ball! :)

There was one MAJOR distraction during this game.

Just the minor fact of the Anthem Carnival setting up in the parking lot behind us!!

Focus boys!  We'll hit up the rides later!

Blurry Anden running the ball!

(ya so I can't figure out the right settings for my camera at this time of night! urgh!)

It's fun to see these newbie football players learn more each week!

And yes I've been working with Anden to mow down players when he gets the ball

instead of retreating to avoid them getting his flags! lol

Soccer Game #2

Soccer Game #2

10/19/13

The Cheetahs were victorious again!

This was actually a close intense game.

They won 3-1.

Taylee had one of the goals!

Good Game Girls!!
