family vinyl

I have been on the hunt for awhile now for an idea that I just loved for a Fullmer Family vinyl. I finally found a few ideas that I liked and from that I created this...I just adore the way it turned out! I have had the picture frame for a few years now {yes I still need to add a few pics! I got so used to seeing those white spaces I sorta forgot they needed to be filled} and I have wanted the vinyl above to finish off the wall. I love when something turns out even better than you hoped for!!! I had my doubts as I was putting it up as to whether or not I was going to like it! Now I love it so much I feel like all my vinyl needs that 2 tone/layered look!! :) If you are interested in having your own "family vinyl" email me or call me and I will be happy to quote you a price.
chat at ya later!
what 's in it?
vinyl...tan & chocolate (oracal)
fonts...Aquarelle & Lucinda Bright
size...12 in. x 26 in.
hours of sleep lost and gray hairs accumulated...just a few! ;0)

Astros Game

We went to an Astros Game the other night! We had THE BEST time! We giggled, played, danced, laughed, ate and taught the little boys the rules of baseball. The Astros played the Pittsburg Pirates. We won 6-2. It was a fun game...we got to see some action! The boys loved being at the field.
We tried to get better than nose bleed tickets but it kept telling me that nothing was available. When we got there, there were tons of open seats! I think next time we will just buy tickets at the window! {it was all good though...we got a whole area to ourselves!} We are gonna go at least once more before summer ends so Kailee can be there with us too!

Kyler was dying to have one of the snowcones from one of the vendors walking around! He loved it!
watch out Kyler...dad did this alot during the game!
Ty tracked down the cotton candy guyI finally got Austin to take one nice picture and Shawn got his hand in there! He is worse than having a little kid!
They have little photo op things...the boys "caught the ball" Tyson made that face on purpose. There were a couple of players that looked like they were sleepy in the pics they'd put on the big screen...so Tyson was making fun of them!
"hanging out with the team"
assaulting the team?...who knows!

4th of July

going through the fireworks...the boys were calling out which ones they wanted to light
sparklers while we were waiting for the Firework Show to start
smoky sparklers...that's Tyson behind all that! ;)
Kailee and Emma
Lela, Emma and Hayes came with us to watch the fireworks...it was fun to hang out with friends!
Bella loved watching the fireworks...a little too much...we had to keep her close by she wanted to go out to the street to see what was going on!
Shawners teaching Tyson how to light the goods
Kyler's turn

We had a really fun night!!! We popped lots of popcorn and took it with us to watch the Firework Show at Katy Mills Mall. After the show when we got home we did a few fireworks of our own! Nothing like watching you money burn! The kids had a lot of fun though...the boys were soooo into lighting the stuff it was crazy! Everyone was safe, no one was burned! That's a good night!

Kyler's Games

{games- Dot-to-Dot, Match Cards, Tracer Game, Color by Numbers}
Kyler has been asking every day for weeks for jobs and chores to do so he can earn some money for toys. I have been giving him money like crazy! Last Saturday from the minute he woke up he worked so hard to make all these games to sell. He finally finished all his games and was ready to put up a table in the front yard when it started to rain...hard! He was so disappointed. I told him I would post the pictures on Facebook and maybe somebody would by some. He did sell his games and made the money he needed to go get his toys that he wanted. He bought a Woody, Buzz Lightyear and a Transformer. He made a sign he was going to hang on the table "I do not accept credit cards" :) He wanted cash!!
What a cutie! Another cute Kyler thing....Sunday he paid his tithing...not like normal though. He didn't want to give up any of his dollar bills. He had $1.20 to pay. He asked if he could pay his tithing in all pennies and I said absolutely! He carefully counted out 100 pennies and 2 dimes and put it in a baggie. He paid his tithing to Brother Ravenberg before sacrament. I chatted with John later to see if he was feeling a little weighed down! :)

Rain, Rain don't go away

How does the saying go?....If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
{revised to...if you can't beat it, join it!}
Well the last few days has been nothing but grey/black skies, thunder & lightening and rain! We are not complaining though. We have loved it! Plus the grass desperately needed some rain since I have been slacking on watering it! Today the boys asked if they could put on their swimsuits and play in the rain? Sure why not!!? The only rule was to come in if it started thundering or lightening. It didn't for the hour they were out there...yeah! They had such a good time. I had fun watching them play and the giggles were endless! They were sliding all over the tramp! Bella couldn't be left out of the fun either...she kept jumping up to drop her ball on the tramp so the boys would throw it for her!
It was pouring in these pics even though you can't really tell.

Bowling and a Show

A couple of days ago we needed to be out of the house for a a few hours so that Augustina could clean. I took Tyson and Kyler bowling. We invited our friends Ruthie and Lily to come with us. The kids had such a good time. The boys had a blast working on their bowling game, finding just the right technique, the right ball and their form! The bowled about 3 or 4 games and then went and played video games and air hockey.

After bowling we went to watch Kailee's performance. She attended a theater camp at the high school for a week and a half. At the end of the camp they performed their plays for freinds and family. She did a great job!! She acted, sang and did lighting! Afterwards we came home to a totally clean house!!! How can a day be better than that!!!!?
Kailee with Ruthie and Lily {she babysits these girls and she LOVES them! it was cute when we got to the school, Lily just went running to Kailee to give her a big hug!}
Thanks for coming Melissa...it was fun!
love this picture, look how beautiful Kailee is!
...Kyler was insistent that Woody be in the picture too
