The Fair 2014

September 17, 2014

This is a long post. Sennet rode a TON of rides. We came home broke and next year we need to make sure we go on unlimited ride weekend! It was worth it though because he loved every single minute of the 6+hours we were there.

It was his first time riding the big roller coaster. He loved it. I nearly had a heart attack waiting for them to get done and he immediately wanted to ride again.

This bag of cotton candy is the first thing he has ever purchased with his own money.

Sennet’s 2nd ride on the big roller coaster. And Kevin better be glad he didn’t drop his phone. But since he didnt, I am super glad he captured this!

projects and team work

September 7, 2014

We are full-swing into re-doing Sennet’s room and would love to post a few pics but I just can’t let myself do it until the pieces are done and not one of them is all the way done.. but they are super close.

Sennet helped me spray paint the hardware for the desk and his dresser and did a really great job after a few trials.

These are feet to the desk.

Remember these paintings from Senent’s baby room? I love them but they are just too big to save and the frames are in decent shape so we decided to repurpose them. We made framed chalkboards and turned it into a project that Sennet and Mena helped with. Mena is going to take one of the frames because we wont need it in the room redo.

allowance and a transformer

September 5, 2014

Sennet earned his very first allowance for helping at the duplex. HE worked really hard and raked, clipped bushes, swept the sidewalks and even pulled huge branches into a pile. He really earned this cash and for now likes to help- so we let him when we can.

and a transformer, because why not?

portlandia trip

We went to Portland for a few days to go to a 40/40 party. Our friend and former neighbor turned 40 and his in-laws celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. The party was fun and seeing our old neighbors and their kids was SO great!

This is a vendor at the Saturday open market and her art was SO super cool and we bought several pieces for Sennets new room!
