Keiths Harry Potter Room

Ever since we added children to the crazy Mecham mix we have tried to come up with creative ways to store and lock up Keith’s guns. We have evolved from a locked box under the bed, to a locked shelf that slid behind the armoire, to the new development; which I have to say I like the best. Keith decided one day when I was at school that he wanted to see what was under the landing by the front door. So he cut out the dry wall in the garage, and discovered a really good sized room. With a little creativity and a new door and lock it has become Keith’s new Harry Potter room. (room under the stairs). Perfect for gun, 72 hour kits, and Christmas present storage.
The room. Keith's guns are to the left and Sam's birthday present is on the right. It worked great to hide Lily's bike she got for her birthday too.

My Easter Babies

We are almost done with birthdays!!!! We seems to like spring babies, and Lily and Sam’s birthdays are just a few weeks apart.
And apparently Easter tends to be an interesting holiday for us. Last year Sam was born Easter morning. March 23, 2008 at 3:58 AM. And this year Lily’s 4th birthday fell on Easter this year, just kind of funny I guess. Here are some pictures of all the birthday and Easter fun.

Sam's birthday came first, and he had a Knights and dragons birthday party. This was his cake that my sister Keeley, my mom, and I made for him.

Lily all dressed up and ready to party. If you could not tell, she had a princess party. We did her birthday on saturday so that she would not get robbed of an Easter again.
