Payton or Gracie? Can't decide!!!

Today we ventured out to get Paytons' birthday picture done. No better place than Kiddie Kandids. They are great and very paitent with the kids.. Payton was being such a brat. He wouldn't smile at all no matter what anyone did. He looked at us like we were idots.. Not surprising though.. He never coroperates when it comes to pictures. Anyway we got one that was sorta cute and was probably the best that we were going to do. After 1/2 hour he was about done anyway.. So this is the final result in which I was sorta pleased with.. The best we could get so I have to take what we get eh??

I have been debating on whether or not to change our blog name. Ray said it was kinda dumb when I first started this and I have been debating on whether or not to change it. I have a few ideas and I am just kicking them around for now. I don't know.. Just don't be surprised if you get on and its all changed up.

Here is a picture of our wonderful Gracie.. Hopefully one day she will not be under my feet everytime I turn around. Now she is definately worse than a kid..

She is such a cutie though!!! It really gets to you when she looks at you with her sad little eyes... We love her even though she does drive us crazy!!!! Just like our children. Rays claims that the new baby is #4 cause the dog made #3... Tuff luck for him she doesn't count as any child ever!!! But still wouldn't trade her for the world either!!!

Remodeling !!!

This is our wood burning stove that came with our house. We have dedcied that we really won't use it and just don't want it so we are taking it out.. Now that Ray is home and has all kinds of time we decided that we should go ahead and take it down. That was our Monaday project with the help of Payton. After taring all the brick down Payton helped us haul it out on the patio and now he has a few beat up toes from dropping the bricks on his toes.. About an hour into it I feed him and put him down for a nap.. Here is is helping!!!

Now that that is done we are back to being bored. We have done the one thing that we needed inside for now. The rest is outside work and the snow is in the way!!! Now Ray understands what I go through everyday with the kids.. It is nice to have him around. Now I get some adult converstaion.. But hopefully he gets back to work soon so I can paint in the house when it starts getting warmer!!!
