Gage's preschool program

I really can't believe that Gage is in preschool now! This is the same preschool that Khloe went too, so the songs they sing are the same too. So I get to hear all my favorite songs over and over again (sarcastic). Gage did really well and sang most of the songs. He wanted to be a knight this year so they got to dress up today for their program. His helmet wouldn't fit his ginormous head but he was still a cutie! The only thing we didn't realize was that when he sits down his chest thing kinda chokes him so he was pulling it down the whole time.

I'll post a video in the next post. I need to find a nice short one!

OKTOBERFEST!

Brett and I had the opportunity to go to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, WA this year with some friends of ours. We went two years ago with the same friends and ended up driving, which was horrible. But this year we had three hotel rooms between the 12 of us that went. It was such a fun time. Brett and I, My brother Levi and his girlfriend Megan and his best friend Sennad (really more like a brother to me) came with Brett's Best friend, his wife and sister and her husband and a couple more friends. It was really nice to get away from the kids for a weekend and enjoy ourselves. I recommend going to everyone!

The first night we were there we went out to eat at King Ludwigs. It was really good and they have live music.....polka music. But it really makes you want to get up and bust a move. Its so upbeat! Then we went to the festival part where you have to have a ticket to get in. But they have lots of food and beer and booths where they sell just about anything Bavarian. (also some non-Bavarian stuff) I'm glad I didn't bring too warm of clothes it was like 80 during the day.

Saturday they have a parade and a keg tapping. We missed the keg tapping but it was still a fun day. Lots of drinking and eating. We even got in a round of putt-putt. The hotel we stayed out was pretty nice too. The breakfast was REALLY good after a night of drinking. We are going again for sure! Levi and Brett, yes Levi has a pirate hat on.

Krista's Birthday

I am VERY fortunate to have some really great girlfriends. When Brett and I flew up to WA for Oktoberfest it also happened to be Krista's birthday. So we all decided to meet up and have some drinks and food. I love them all and had such a great time. Too bad the restaurant we went too is considered a high class hooters. Yeah we were the only group of girls there. None the less it was a great time to reminisce and have a little too much to drink (only me really) Love you all! Krista and Sarah

I love how even though we don't get to see each other very often we can pick up right where we left off. I have known most of these girls since elementary school or junior high. LOVE THEM!

New Chairs!

We traded our breakfast nook table when we moved into the apartment for a regular table with four chairs. We definitely got the better deal. Our table has two leaves that are under the table. You just slide them out. Its great! So the chairs were not so great they had the beige jute weaved really tight for the seat and the back. Well we replaced it with tan and red jute weaved but since we didn't weave it tight enough they kinda just fell apart. Brett is the most brilliant, crafty person I know! He figured out how to make the bottoms have cushions. I sewed the backs and they look AWESOME now!

And of course I don't have any before pictures because the camera is still broke and we haven't bought a new one yet. I also need to post about OKTOBERFEST!
