Happenings...

Well sorry for the long month of silence! I haven't had a dang computer and im glad to not be blog stalking on my little phone anymore! Well for those of you that don't know about my super awesome life I will let you know what has been going on in the Shumway house. Well before my birthday we started renovating.... well its definitely coming along! I haven't taken any pictures of the house yet because the pantry is almost done, just waiting for some time to show up to build the shelves. We just have painting, cabinet painting, lights, and flooring to do in the kitchen/diningroom/ familyroom. It sounds like a lot but Im so excited because to me it sounds like its almost finished! We have had a couple bumps in the road... Since Gentry got the house and now with doing renovations we almost have a whole new house! Haha we have gotten a new fridge, washer, hot water heater, and now comes the new roof! Its kind of exhausting trying to keep up with all of this but I guess it comes with owning a house... so everyone tells me!

Even through all these stresses we have a found time to have some fun! For christmas Gentry bought us season tickets to 6 flags which also come with season passes to the water park! A couple of us bought them so we planned a trip and it was a blast! Amanda, Me, Gentry, Kyle (gentry's brother), Bret, Andrea, Heather, and Amy went! It was a fun group! It was mostly exciting to see how Gentry was on the rides! He hadn't been since he was a young kid and I grew up going to 6 flags so it wasn't anything new to me! We went on X2 and Im not kidding you I bet the people in front of us thought the mr was a freak! He screamed the ENTIRE time on the ride! haha it was beyond hilarious! We also went on the bungie swing thing... They pull you up probably 175 ft maybe in the air and you pull a cord and it drops you and you start swinging, it is beyond scary but fun! Gentry had never been before and I have done it once before but halfway when they were pulling us up I looked up at hime and said ummmmm I am getting kinda nervous and his response was yaaa we are idiots! haha but in the end he LOVED it. It rained almost the whole time we were there so sometimes we didn't even have to get off the ride because everyone was leaving! I love it when that happens!




I also have had some awesome times with the niece and nephew. Im not kidding you those kids melt my heart! I have been watching them after I get off of work and it has been fun playing and bonding with them. I personally thing Carston boy is the most dreamy looking boy in the world. His hair is my love, not kidding I WILL NOT let sommer cut it! It has to stay long otherwise I think he would look ridiculous! He is starting to roll and roll and roll. He also is the jumpiest kid ever. When you stand him on your lap he just jumps and jumps and jumps, I honestly get exhausted just holding him, all the up and downs are tiring! Shel bell makes me laugh so hard! She is the funniest kid ever! She plays the piano and sings to the left to the left by beyonce! I went with her, sommer and sommers friend + kids to the zoo and it was a blast! Shel is so smart and knows almost all her animals! When we would go to leave and go look at another animal she would say see ya later, in a while crocodile! Also when I am watching her and its "quiet time" aka nap time she pulls her shirt up and says Brittany tickle my back! haha who is this little girl! I hate tickling backs but I still do it for her!
*just us at the zoo walkin*
Thats about it... for now! We are going camping over spring break with family and friends so hopefully I'll have some pictures to post.
