Big Bear!

The annual Funk Family Reunion at Big Bear was so much fun! There were so many babies this year and it makes me feel old!This is everyone who came! We're still missing a good chunk :(

This is MY grandma with her great grand children! Blake(8) holding Kenzie(19 Months) Evan(7) and the newest Jade (9 days).

Kenzie was a complete handful! She was constantly running off, almost got hit by a car(I almost had a heart-attack), she didn't nap, eat or drink hardly anything. She woke up 15 times each night and I'm hoping next year will be easier! :) All-in-all I enjoyed being with everyone!

On our way home Russ, Kenzie and I stopped at the Primm outlet mall for some shopping. My wonderful hubs bought me a new Fossil watch and a Fossil Purse! The guy even gave us an extra 10% off because his register wasn't working and we had to wait a few extra minutes! Score! I got some good deals on clothes for the beast and we headed home to check out our HOUSE!

It looks quite amazing, like an actual house now! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel finally. We got our interest rate locked in at an all-time low so we're excited about that as well :)

Ta-da!

Our kitchen and bathroom cabinets are in!

Counters, appliances, flooring, landscaping and some touch-ups and the place will be ours! I can't believe it :D

Decorating and New Toys!

I cannot wait until I can start counting down the days left at my "joke of a job." It's really starting to get to me. Russ and I decided I will put my notice in for the end of August. Our house is supposed to be done soon after that! I can have time to organize our crap and get ready to move in and be a home-maker! I've been trying to think up some decorating ideas in my spare time.

I've given up on Yo Gabba Gabba for Kenzie's room theme. It's to effing expensive!

1. You CANNOT find anything Yo Gabba Gabba anywhere but online.
2. They want $4o for a flippin' beach towel!?
3. The bedding set and a separate blanket is the extent of affordable items.

Sometimes I hate that she is so obsessed with that show. That is the one and only thing she will watch. I have tried Wonder Pets, Backyardigans, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny, Chuggington.....Nothing.


This is what I have decided on. Tink.
She is cute and girly and you can go almost anywhere to find it!
I think I am gonna stick to green walls and accent with purples and white. I am completely clueless when it comes to decorating, this will be an experience! I have no clue what to do with an entire house! YIKES!

We took Kenzie to Toys R Us last night to pick out a few things. Since she is so into drawing we got her an easel!

The opposite side has a white board that she can use her magnets on! We can also attach paper, mainly color wonder paper, to draw with!

We had a hard time deciding between the Cozy Coupe and the Radio Flyer Bike.
This bike is pretty awesome. The bar in the middle adjusts so she could continue to ride as she grows. The front panel has blinkers, a "radio" and a horn. She LOVES it, but we went with the Cozy Coupe. Maybe we will try the bike in a few months!


She tested this thing out.
I told her I'd think about it. ;)

This is our house as of LAST Sunday the 4th!

I am extremely excited for next weekend. We have our annual Funk Family Reunion. (It's my mom's-mom's sisters and their kids, grandkids and great grandkids!)It's been going on for many years now and our generations continue to grow, it's my absolute favorite time of the year, after Christmas of course! We go to Big Bear every July and rent out cabins in a lodge. We hang out and chat, play card games, sports and eat lots of food! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my extended family!

And I am going to end this incredibly worthless post with a video of my babe doing some of her sign language :)
