Crazy cousins

We went to see Jeremy's family for Thanksgiving and Tyler had a ball (literally) playing with his older cousins and being a "big boy". Our nephews are 2 and 6 and at first Tyler's not quite sure what to think of them when they are running around and playing, but after awhile he joins right in.
Good thing Grandma had enough balls to go around. For about 15 minutes they all just played in the living room throwing all the different balls around, it was complete chaos.
Then they moved onto raiding Grandma's kitchen of all her pots and pans. Thanks to Tyler opening all the cabinets, because of course, there are not child proof locks and how cool is that!And of course, here's our future drummer being taught by the master himself. Cousin Keagan got these for his birthday and Tyler loves them! Guess we know what he's getting when he turns 2!Our lovely hosts for Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for all the great food.Here's my cake pop tree! I made pumpkin spice cake pops for one of our many desserts! There were yummy

Made the trip to Home Depot tonight and picked out some paint colors for the kitchen. So, I'd say we are moving along. Hopefully we'll get the kitchen painted this weekend. I've got what I need to decorate wall #2 in the living room, just need to get some pictures printed. Check back for more updates this weekend!

Decorating attempt: living room and thoughts on the kitchen...

So, we are having a Christmas party December 12th so I'm on a mad dash to make some decorations for our living room at the least. We have cathedral (I think that's what you call it) ceilings so we have these huge wall spaces that are weird shaped and we've never known what to put there. Well I think I've finally come up with some ideas so this week, I will be working on one of the big walls...we'll see if I can get it complete before we leave for Springfield on Wednesday. Here are the two walls I am dealing with.



I also have lofty goals of painting and decorating the kitchen as well....if I could only have a paint color that would match our ugly backsplash (which is tan and cream tiles) and medium brown cabinets. At first I was thinking tan, but then decided it would probably clash with the tan tiles in the backsplash and I wasn't too fond of a tan color to begin with because I don't think it would go well with our wood cabinets. Any ideas? Here are some picures of our kitchen currently (original paint and no decorations) :( As you can tell we need some help.

Videos!

There are so many videos I keep forgetting to put on here. Below are some of our favorites.

Fake sneezing in the tub. When Tyler was little I would fake sneeze (aaaaaahhhhh - chooo) and it would always make him laugh. So when he was about 11 months old he started doing it himself after anyone sneezed or even himself or if I said God Bless You. Jeremy caught him doing it while I was giving him a bath one night.

This is how we dance. A couple days ago we turned on some music and asked Tyler to dance and he just started spinning. Now we can spin or just ask him to spin and he just starts spinning in a circle.
