Bowling
We joined a summer bowling program www.kidsbowlfree.com at Kellogg bowl. The kids can bowl 2 games a day for free, it's awesome. Maybe by the end of the summer we can break 100. Tyler (Steven Tyler) did good, his high game was 94. Meme (J Lo) got an 85. Nick (Nicky Nick) hung in there pretty well with a high of 82. Thank God for bumpers!!!

Last Day of School
It's Summer again!!! Wow I have a 5th and 3rd grader now.
The last day of school is always so exciting (parties, cleaning out your desk, getting your Year Book and saying good bye to your teacher and old classroom) This year was a little extra sad, our most favorite 2nd grade teacher, Mr. Niehuser was moved to another school due to budget cuts.
We are gonna be ok, we got to bring Commodore Puddles the 4th (class hamster) home for the summer so Mr. N is forced to see us at least one more time.
On a much "funner" note, we had a huge last day of school block party with games, snacks and a bouncy house.

Meme's room got a Makeover
For Meme's last birthday Mema and Papa told her they would give her room a makeover. Yes, her birthday was in August and it's May now but he finally did it.
I started by gutting her room completely (she moved in to the boys room) Meme and I took her furniture apart, sanded, painted, sanded again and painted it all again and then put new hardware on it. After 3 days of that and a day of painting the walls Mema and Papa came over and we got to work on the new crown molding, painted the ceiling, new ceiling light and then we put her room back together.
After 6 nights with her brothers, her clothes in piles in the hallway and everything else in boxes she was ready to see her new room. We kept her out of it once Mema and Papa got there so all she had seen was the taken apart furniture and half painted walls. It was like HGTV, she was really excited.

Friday Festizities in Happy Valley
We have been saying for a couple of years now that we need to take some trees out of our yard that have gotten to big, old or broken and put some new (better) ones in. So we decided to finally do it. It was WAY more fun than I thought it would be.
One of the trees was already cut down due to the nasty winter we had 2 years ago. The other one Brian cut down with the chainsaw (power tools are so awesome)
Then is was time for stump removal. We were unsure how this was going to go so we thought it would be best to just jump right in and make it happen. What a blast, we wrapped the chain around the stump and hooked it to the truck. Pretty easy, it was out in about 15 minutes. Nick thought this was pretty cool.
There ya go, one out one to go.
The second one was a little more tricky. It was on the other side of the house in the back of the yard so we were unable to use the driveway. Oh and it was more than twice the size.
No problem, just under 2 hours later she was out. Thank goodness.

Sophie was over today playing for a few hours and Nick had to go to the bathroom. After he shut the door he opened it a little bit and yelled for Sophie. When she got to the door he said "Sophie, don't come in here, I am gonna be stinkin it up in here!"
Yep, he's a Yarnell Boy!!
