The last week Kaylee got to go to the pet store for her Preschool Field Trip with Mrs. Janet.

 Feeding the fish

:)

 Petting a 'Dragon Beard'

 Petting a Turtle

 Flapping like a bird down the aisle

 Watching the dogs get groomed

 In the dog training center acting out different animals

 This was by far Kaylee's favorite part of the field trip. They took these feathers and put them up next to the kittens, and the kittens would grab at them and try to play. Playing with the kittens was all that Kaylee could talk about!

 This last Jazz game I took Connor as my date!

Connor threw his fruit snack wrapper right behind this girl and right as he was about to stick his hand and grab it she leaned back. Connor gave me this look of "How dare she sit on my wrapper" ha ha. 

 Right before halftime we went and got some frozen yogurt and topped it with almost every topping available ha ha This was by far my favorite part of the date. Connor is talking so much lately and we just had such a great conversation and shared our frozen yogurt while we talked. I love this boy so much!

     After a few months of using our dishwasher as a drying rack we finally decided to get a new one! Instead of paying the $120 for them to install it- we asked our neighbor Mark Haws to come and help us out. 

Mark brought his kids Sydney and Carly to come play, and Kaylee and Connor were in Heaven. Connor still prays for Sydney every night in his prayers.

The kids made good use of the big dishwasher box

Along with the new dishwasher we had ordered new carpet that was set to go in the following week. I posted on Facebook how I am just hoping our water heater doesn't go out soon....well guess what happened a few days after posting that.....a very cold shower ;)

 The water heater was leaking so we think that is what caused the pilot light to go out, but since we had been told several times that we needed to replace the water heater soon (many years ago) we finally decided it was time. 

Needless to say the morning when the water heater went out, both of the kids were naked ready to get in the bath. So...we improvised and warmed up water on the stove and quickly put it in the tub. I yelled off to the kids to run with me before the water cooled down. I hoped in the bath with the kids and we did a really quick scrub down lol

And since the following pictures were taken close to the same date as the others I will include these in this post too. 

Connor was begging me to draw a princess for him lol Here is my amazing talent ha ha

Kaylee of course had to pose with the picture

Awwe there is that cute smile

The stairs really show how dark the carpet is

We didn't replace the rooms so you can really tell the difference in color. The room carpet isn't the exact same carpet as we had in the halls before- but it was similar in the color of it.

We set up the toddler bed and rearranged a few things in the kids room and the playroom

Yes these kids are spoiled and have a basketball hoop, train table, AND a slide in their room!

Kaylee is so good at posing for all of my pictures ;)

Yay for home improvements......but BOO for the $$$$
