Levi took this picture of me and Seth.

Thank You Aunt Michelle

Aunt Michelle gave me a CD with lots of Really Great Pictures on it! I put a few on here...I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. It was really nice to look back at all of the pictures, and remember what a Great Summer we had this year.

We are all standing outside of the floating villa we went to in September. We all had so much fun! The boys definitely did not want to leave.

Here I am, freezing!

Levi really gets into his fishing! :)

Here is Levi, with his very First Fish! Can you tell by the look on his face that he was EXCITED! You can barely see the fish, there by the pole..Stephen was holding it up. Seth isn't taking his eyes off of it! haha They thought this was so cool! The water was so clear, they could actually see the fish swim up and bite their bait.

I don't know what Papa was telling him about, but Levi sure looks like he is thinking hard....or else he hit is head on something! Who Knows!

We are helping the boys fish, off of the dock, there at the floating villa.

Here is a picture of us, when we went to this really cool tower, there at the lake.

Seth, ready for Breakfast!

Levi, upstairs, in the loft of the main room. There were 4 queen size beds up there!

Mommy is still cooking, and Seth is in his seat, ready to eat! haha

Granny and Aunt Michelle came down and watched the boys, while Stephen and I finished our cabinet job for our friends new business.....You can tell from these pictures that the boys had a lot of fun, and didn't miss us a bit!

Close-up of Seth! Isn't he a cutie!

Here is Seth's serious "boxing" pose. Isn't he mean looking with his "super man" blankie tied on. haha :)

Levi with his "boxer" pose. They were ready to "fight". Boys will be boys!

Everyone said "Where are pictures of the birthday girl?" Aunt Michelle actually got a few! Yea!

Here was one of me helping Levi tuck his new shirt in. :)

Here is another one....ok, so it is of my back...but see, I was there! :) haha

Stephen and I, skiing together. It was a lot of fun. He was cracking jokes the whole time, and trying to get me to jump and pick up one foot, etc. He is Crazy! But that is one of the many things I love about him.

Here he is chasing me outside the wake...trying to run me over! haha

Me and my Handsome Hubby! :)

Long Time.....

Ok, I know it has been a long time since my last post. I have just been SO BUSY! My Pampered Chef business has been going so great, that I just haven't had much time to update lately. I did want to let everyone know that I now have my personal website set up. It is www.pamperedchef.biz/kandy You can log on and shop 24/7, plus Pampered Chef just added an Outlet that you can only order from, through my website. Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

Oh and we have an appointment to have our "Family Portraits" made at a Professional Photography Studio on Monday at 10am! Say a prayer that the boys will be in a good mood, and that the pictures will turn out good. This was the main thing that I wanted, for our 10th wedding anniversary this summer. But time never allowed us to actually get it done...and by the time we could, I was in major need of getting my hair done. So Finally the Day has Arrived!!! :) Yea!!! I will let ya'll know how it goes.

Love to you all,

Kandy

Ok, here are the boys pictures that we had made at a Professional Studio. Mom helped me pick these out, they were all so cute, it was really hard to choose. Sorry it has taken me so long to get these on here. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do. :) Leave me a post, and let me know what you think.

We loved this picture! Seth has the look of "you better not mess with us Cowboys!" haha :)

Levi in the Saddle. Isn't this an adorable picture!

Seth in the Saddle. Yee-Haw, Cowboy!

I took the boys over to visit their Nana and Papa this past weekend. We took the boys to the Zoo on Friday and then to have their Pictures made on Saturday. They had so much fun!!!! Thank You Nana and Papa! We love You!!!!!

Seth is playing in the sandbox, at the little park they had set up inside the zoo. The boys loved this area. They would have stayed here all day if we had let them. Instead I had to promise to bring them back to play after we finished looking at all of the animals. And yes I did keep my promise...because they did not forget! haha

Levi is driving the truck! They really liked playing on this little park area inside the zoo.

Seth is driving, Levi is giving him directions on which way to go! haha

Seth driving the really cool truck on the play area at the zoo.

Here are the Elephants Seth was watching. They were spraying water, and Seth got a major kick out of that. He was trying to make the noises they were making to. It was cracking us up! haha

Seth and Papa looking at the Giraffe's and Elephants. Seth was having a grand time at this Zoo!

Seth saying "cheese"! haha

He was getting down on their level! haha

Look at that smile! he was having so much fun!

Seth and Levi were brushing the goats. They thought this was fun!

Seth had to HUG ALL of the Goats! haha It was so cute!

Levi saying "cheese"! :) They were having so much fun. I think they would have stayed in this area of the zoo all day long!

Seth saying "cheese"!

playing in the sandbox is so fun! They didn't want to leave!

We took the boys on Saturday, to a Professional Photography Studio, to have their portraits done. Nana helped me with this. Thank You Nana! I could never have picked out my favorite pictures without your help! They were all so cute, it was hard to choose! I can't wait for them to come in, so I can share then with everyone. Needless to say, this whole experience made me decide when we have our family portrait done, we will do it at a Professional Studio. It is worth spending a little extra money to get to choose your favorite pictures and not just be stuck with the first good one as your package. Especially when you are trying to get a good picture of both the boys at the same time! Wow! Talk about a chore. I can only imagine how crazy it will be to try and get a good one of all of us together, smiling at the same time! :)

Levi with his new Stick Horse. We promised the boys that if they were really good and smiled pretty for the camera (when we took them to have their portraits made) then we would take them and buy them each a new stick horse. Needless to say, Levi was a little model for the camera...he REALLY wanted a stick horse! haha :)

We are making over Seth's room! Ok, we pretty much finished our cabinet job, so we had to have another major project to work on! haha We ripped off all of the trim, and we taped/bedded the room then we textured the walls. Since then we have been painting, and I will post pictures of the finished project...hopefully soon! But here are some pictures of the boys "helping". They love to help us work on stuff. It is really fun for us to, because we all spend time together as a family. Between the cabinets and this, we have had a lot of "quality" time together lately. :)

Seth working, and Levi couldn't resist poking his head in the picture! :)

Seth, hard at work! The love to "help"! haha

Levi working hard!

Here is Levi working away....and Seth saying "Cheese"! haha

As you know, Stephen built some amazing cabinets and shelves for some friends of ours who are opening their own business. We worked on this for what seemed like forever, but it turned out amazing! I hope you enjoy the pictures. I will put more on here, once they get everything finished and open.

Here are the cabinets that are right beside the front door. Didn't Stephen do an amazing job on this?! I love the corners!

Here is the half of the cabinets that meet up against the skeleton wall Stephen built. No the skeleton wall isn't staying this red color, they are putting a tea stain on it too. It is going to look so amazing! I will take pictures of it again once they open.

Here is Stephen putting the drawer pull in. I put all of the other handles on, but he did the drawer, because I was afraid I would mess it up! haha :)

You can see some of the cabinets along the wall, behind this skeleton wall. They are located in their retail area, at the front entrance. The look Amazing! We have had so many compliments on them already and they aren't even open yet!

Here is a picture of the shelving he built.

Here is some of the cabinets and shelves Stephen built for them.....

Here is half of the skeleton wall they had Stephen build in their new business. It connects across the top, and you actually walk through this wall. It looks so cool!

Here is the other half of the skeleton wall Stephen built. It looks so amazing!
