Beautiful Eyes

Iheartfaces has a challenge this week for beautiful eyes. Thought I would submit this photo of Easton.

Kk turns 7 and the boys get their face painted

On Wednesday after I got off work we got to go to Redmond and celebrate the 7th birthday of a very special little girl Kaydence. Her and Dawson met in Kindergarten and have become pretty good friends. ( I think Dawson has a crush on her to be honest with you). Being it was a party for a little girl the boys had the option to have their face painted and their fingernails painted as well. Dawson chose the football player black marks and well poor Easton really didn't have a choice lol. Two of the older girls took over on Easton and he had his whole face covered with paint. Next thing was painting their fingernails. They both chose black and Easton got some orange on his as well. We all had a great time. Happy birthday Kaydence, we love you!!!

Dawson and his face and fingernails. He was mighty proud of them lol

Easton wouldnt show me his fingernails but you can kind of see what they look like. Poor kid had fingernail polish all over his fingers lol

Sorry I thought I had a picture of KK but not sure what happened to it. Just know she is CUTE!!!

Easton is potty trained at 2 1/2

Isn't it amazing how stubborn toddlers are? I started working with Easton on potty training when he turned 2. I was over the whole diaper thing and thought if I could get Easton potty trained then we would all be much happier. It took him a couple of days to get the hang of peeing in the toilet with some accidents as well. Number 2 was a different story. He did fine if he ran around the house naked. He would pee in his little potty chair and I would make a BIG deal out of it and he would get a special treat. Not long after I thought I had him potty trained did I start working full time and the routine changed. After 6 months of trying and working with Easton he is officially 100% potty trained. Both ways too!!! So proud of him. He got to pick out some pretty awesome Sponge Bob underwear because of his accomplishments.

Trying something new

My sweet husband bought me a Nikon D3000 camera for Mothers day and let me tell you, I have truely found my passion. With that said, I am going to start submitting my pictures to different photography websites to see what kind of feed back I can get. My first weekly photo challenge is going on at Iheartfaces

I LOVE this picture of my son and his buddies. They all get along so well.

Just some random pictures

Not much to say with this post. Here are some pictures that I have taken the last couple weeks so thought I would upload to share with you all. Enjoy

Valentines Day

I was asked by Dawson's kindergarten teacher if me and a couple moms could think up a couple of games for the kid's Valentine's party. I said sure and rounded up a couple more moms to come up with some ideas. We decided to play musical chairs with the kids but use hearts instead of chairs. I alsovolunteered to make a pinata. Not sure how many of you have ever made a pinata, but I remember the last one I made was I think my sophmore year in high school for a fiesta for my spanish class. All I have to say is I probably won't ever make one again. It took me about 40 hours to make the darn thing. Yes it was cute after it was all said and done and the kids had a great time hitting it and getting the 9 lbs of candy after wards.

The kids playing musical hearts

The pinata
Had to go with the whole Valentine theme so its kind of cheesy looking but the kids had fun with it.

After making it I don't think my back will ever be the same. It hurt so bad after adding the 6 rolls of crepe paper to it. I think it turned out cute and am glad I made it for Dawson to enjoy. He was so excited to show it off to his friends and teacher.

Dawson turns 6

Not sure where the time has gone. Can't believe it has been two months since I have last posted anything on my blog. It has been a crazy winter to say the least. Dawson turned 6 the middle part of February. I can't believe it has been 6 years since we brought him home from the hospital. We had a family birthday party one weekend and one night after school we had 13 5 & 6 year olds in our house. Crazy if you ask me!!!!! Dawson had a blast and I had the joy of making 2 scooby doo cakes. Dawson and all of his friends enjoyed it so much.

The cake was a huge hit and took forever to make. Oh well, its all worth it if it makes Dawson happy.
