More Projects!

So here we go again. We are about to tackle the biggest project so far at our house....the floors! We start on Monday with R&R coming in to start the repair work and refinishing of the Dinningroom/Kitchen area. I am so excited about this. It will finally feel clean and fresh once all is said and done. Next we will have a sandless company come out and do the rest of the house. Yep I said it the entire house has hard wood except for our Laundry room. Steven and Ashton have been hard at work getting everything prepped for the arrival of the flooring professionals. Here are a few shots of their hard work.

More pictures to come as we make more progress! Cross your fingers that all goes well!

Forgiveness!

This is a wonderful audio lecture about forgiveness. My goal for this year is to take this workshop and make personal changes to myself. If you have had any issues with forgiveness, give this lecture a listen, it may change how you look at your self and your relationships.

Candy Canes and Christmas Trees!

We are missing the snow! Here is the house all covered in a blanket of white. We were missing a Christmas tree to really set the mood. So this is our fourth year of going to the same lot. It's all about candy canes and Christmas trees!

We have a winner!Lights, Camera, Action!
Thad played a little song for us after our decorating extravaganza. He loves playing the piano. He totally has the musician bug just like Daddy.

Happy Holidays!

Goodbye Carpet Hello Hardwood!

Many of you may know that I hate carpet. Really! It collects so much dirt and hides it and you only find it when you go to replace it or remove it. So it was a glorious day for me when I came home one late summer day to find Steven ripping up the carpet in the living room! Of course that prompted us to rip it out in the front bedroom(our altar room) and in the kids room! The best part is we have hardwood everywhere! I am so excited. We should have enough money by February to refinish all the floors. Some of the base boards were raised to put in the carpet before we owned the house so we will have to put new one's in. That should be an adventure trying to match it to the existing moldings! So with out further adieu I present the before and middle pictures. I'll post afters once we have the floors refinished in February!

Long time no blog!

Hey there! Well it has been quite a while since my last blog so lots has gone on. I thought I would catch everyone up with how our summer played out. It consisted of lots of gardening and yard projects. We had a successful first garden and produced a lot of cabbage, zucchini squash, hot peppers, strawberries and tomatoes. Our broccoli didn't do well and neither did the watermelons. We look forward to planting more variety this spring. So once February rolls around the starts will begin indoors! YAY! Here are some of our garden high lights!
We did some traveling as well as some camping. One of the neatest things is we purchased was a camper. It came in handy on our trip to Utah and not having to pay for a hotel. Here are a few shots from some of our trips.
Now we have put the garden to bed and are finishing up the Soccer season! We're very excited that Fall is here!
