I have so much to share after being without internet service for two weeks, that it's tough to figure out what to share when.
I realized after beginning my home re-no tour that I had skipped sharing one of my little Grand's Birthday party...so here it is!
The party theme was construction, so my daughter began at the front door....
....and continued all through the downstairs. The treats were construction themed as well...
...and everyone was given a tool apron and a hard hat!
On another note, I won't be posting for a couple of days, as I am flying with Mrs. Big Dog to the Biggest Little City today and driving back up to the Pacific Northwest tomorrow...why? The Sewing Queen of Northern Nevada is relocating up here to live!

Haha the little guys are so darn cute!Im so happy to hear your mom is moving. Isnt it amazing how everything has worked out? Im so excited for you and your family.Kathy

These pictures are so cute (and those grandbabies adorable) your daughter is so creative. Before I head over to see the rest of the little guys birthday pictures I wanted to say I am so happy for you and your family to have your mom and their grandma moving there closer to all of you, how fun that will be. Have a safe and fun trip. Jeni

I am enjoying the pictures of your guy-friends house, but what about some pictures of your own house? I am sure that you have done some fabulous things with your own house too; dont make it all about the current man in your life ... Cheers!
