Halloween 2009

Alex as a MidEvil Princess

Ben as Darth Vadar

Cenna as Princess Belle


Ariana as Princess Cinderella

Cassie as a Pink Marshmellow

Here is a story about what I was trying to dress Cassie as for Halloween. I found her ladybug costume earlier in the month and then when it was time to dress her, I couldn't find it anywhere so I decided to dress her in all pink. I then thought she would go as a pink marshmellow and told the kids that if anyone asked that is what she was. Ben said "Mom, she isn't a pink marshmellow, she is a snowboarder." So I thought that she was a pink marshmellow Ben thought she was a snowboarder. The girls thought she was a pink marshmellow snowboarder. :) What do you all think, do you think she looks better as a pink marshmellow, a snowboarder or a pink marshmellow snowboarder? :)

Been awhile

Yes it has been awhile since I last updated the Blog. I simply haven't had the time or energy to do it. Not a lot has happened in the last month, I'm still working, the kids are still in school, and honestly the only thing we have done that is worthy of note was the trip to the aquarium with Mom and Dad Barlow, Pictures are available at there blog. For those interested Elann Has started a Blog to post her Photography, she has been taking pictures for a while and even won a couple of online contests, so we decided it was time for her to display them for all to see. Go to
http://elannphoto.blogspot.com/ and you can judge for yourself. I will try to update again soon with pictures of the kids and a more complete update of all of us. Quick Note on the Miniature Golf, It isn't miniature if you play with a full size club.

Montgomery Scott Barlow

Welcome our new addition. Montgomery Scott Barlow (Scotty)

Scotty is a Puggle Puppy. A Puggle is a Pug Beagle mix. He is about 3 months old and not yet Potty trained. Although we have a lot of Potty training experience I don't think it will help with this one.


The Picture of Cassidy is just a cute picture. You ask her to smile this is what she does.



Birthday Fun

Well it's more than official I'm getting old. I just turned 33. For my birthday we decided to go have some fun as a family and what's the best kind of fun, Free fun. We went to visit Elann's Dad and then went to visit the bean Museum in Provo. We arrived just in time to see the Reptile show. We then went to dinner and home. It doesn't seem glamorous but it was a lot of fun.

Ariana Decided that she wanted shorter hair so one night while Elann and I were watching a Movie she went into our bathroom and cut her hair. I failed to get a picture of the incident but here are some pictures of the save that Grandma Romney pulled off.

Alex Turns 10

Holy Cow I'm old Alex just turned 10.The guests arrive for the Party
Decorating Cupcakes and Cookies

Pictures of the disastrous fingernail painting will not be shown

End of the night the guests have left and it is just the family.
So what do you get a 10 yr old. A Radio and CD's. What Cd's you might ask. Turn on any Disney channel and you will see. Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, or Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus)


Kitchen Follies

Well the Kitchen is under way we had to strip it down and clear it off so that Chris could finish the Countertop and the Cabinet doors.


Our Naked Kitchen

The left is the old color of the Cabinet doors. The Stain used messed up on almost all of the doors and they were a blotchy brown color. This right door is the new color done with toner.




All the Drawer fronts I have been missing for 3 months

We're In

Well we made it we are moved in. we are still working on all the unpacking but we are in the house.

Our Living room

Kitchen. We had a stain issue but have confidence that it will get fixed. Ask Chris for details

My favorite room the Master Bath. The tub surround is Cultured Marble for tub to ceiling. After 5 years of showering bent over I can stand straight and shower and the tub is an extra large, so it is wider and deeper than a standard tub. As I said my favorite room in the house.



This one's for Max

EEuuu
