After 3 months....

So, after 3 months of not writing on my blog, I have quite a few things to post. I will probably do one post a day until I get all of the pictures out of my "pictures for blog" folder.

Christmas at the Webbs

This year for Christmas we went to the Webbs house in Fayetteville. We had a nice big dinner on Christmas Eve and woke up to this pile of presents the next day. TJ helped Marcus pass them all out to everyone and now he is obviously exhausted.

TJ was so excited to finally get Kung Fu Panda.

This big Tonka truck was a present for TJ, but Gavin has had lots of fun with it.
Before we got started, Gavin was excited just to get to pull a bow off.

When we got home, Santa had left this slide climber for the boys! Good thing we thought to leave cookies for him here too!!

CTR 8 sleepover

Back in December I had a little sleepover for the girls in my primary class. There were only girls in my class, I didn't just leave out boys. Anyway, we had fun and made some sugar scrubs for their momma's and bracelets for the girls. They had way more fun, though, playing with the boys and dancing around while Marcus played R0ck Band. They eventually got their own turn to play the next morning.

They have moved into Sr. Primary now, and I will sure miss them. I actually have boys in my class this year, so I will have to come up with some other kind of fun party next Christmas.

Corning Family Fun Day

This past weekend was Family Fun Day for Corning employees. It was at a park beside the battleship, so we got to do a boat ride on the Cape Fear River, and TJ played some carnival games. They fed us a barbecue dinner, with fried chicken and shrimp and also had some cotton candy, popcorn and soda at some booths. Besides being eaten alive by monstrous mosquitos, we had lots of fun.

Here are a few pictures...

Sorry the pics aren't great, they were taken with my phone.

Laying Tile

I had a couple days off so I redid my in laws bathroom first I tore out the floor that was rotten braced and laid the new floor. Then I tiled the floor these are the pictures of the initial lay. After it dries I will need to put in the grout and the toilet.

This saw made my job so much easier I'm glad I had it to cut the tile. Straight, perfect and exact cuts.The floor after completing the initial lay down of the tiles. these next ones are the corners. All four.

Macaroni and Cheese

Gavin's been working on eating with a spoon and fork. Here are some pictures (and a video) from a few weeks ago that I have been meaning to put on here.

Sunday Cookout

Yesterday we had a little cookout for dinner. We wanted to use the grill at least once this summer, so we took advantage of the nice weather and our awesome back patio. Here are a few pics of the boys....
