Tean's new bed and room

Last year our dishwasher flooded, so it caused a little bit of water damage into one of the down stairs bedrooms. Since we had to paint it anyway, we decided to make this room Tean's new room for his new big boy bed. Jake made these awesome bunk beds for Tean to use when we moved him to a big boy bed. Don't they look cool? I think he did a great job. We got the drawers for free last year at a garage sale, so we made the bed to fit the drawers, and it looks awesome! I made some quilts for the bed and painted the room and bunk beds and put in the dresser that I refinished a while ago and I think it looks great! Tean loves his new room too. The first night that we had the bunk beds set up he wanted to sleep in them. I wasn't quite sure I was ready for him to sleep in them, but he really wanted to, so we let him. He did awesome! He'll even take naps in his bed and wait until I come in and get him in the mornings and for his naps before he gets off the bed. One day I was sewing in the room next door, and I could hear him awake from his nap playing, when he said, "Mom, I don't want to be on my bed anymore!" He fell off the bed once in the middle of the night (His legs got caught up in the blanket so he was hanging upside down), but normally he does great! My little boy isn't very little anymore :( Now if only he would potty train. . .

Driving Young

Tean loves cars, so he was super excited when Daddy let him drive the whole 2 blocks home from church!

Tean With His Cousins

We have been down to Utah A LOT lately, since it is the BYU football season and we have season tickets, and my parents getting home from their mission, so that has given Tean a lot of time to play with his cousins in Utah. He loves playing with them all and gets along with them so well! It's been a lot of fun for Tean to get to know his cousins better and have fun playing with them!

Parent's Homecoming

My parents got home from their mission to Poland last month. It was great to see them after having them gone for almost 2 years. They did a great job speaking in church. After they spoke we had a brunch at their house. It was great to see everyone there. My Grandpa Arnold came, so here is a picture of 4 generations, My grandpa, my mom, me and Tean. Tean enjoyed eating cake and getting a mess. All the cousins enjoyed jumping on Daren Jr. It was great to see Mom and Dad after 2 years and having them around and hearing about their mission in Poland!

ISU Game

Jake plays basketball in the mornings with one of the coaches of ISU football, so one weekend last month, he gave us tickets to an ISU football game. None of us had any orange to wear, so we had to go out and get us something orange. We had front row seats. It was a really good game. ISU played really well and won by a lot, which was awesome since they haven't been very good in years past. Tean mostly enjoyed bothering the lady sitting next to us. Whenever there was a kickoff, ISU had a dog that was trained to go out and pick up the tee. It was pretty cool.

Piano Recital

I have been teaching piano for almost the last three years, so this year I finally had enough students to do a recital last month. Five of my six students did the recital (one of my students had just started a month before). They all did an awesome job! I was so proud of all of them and look forward to our next recital!
