Before and After Kitchen

Click on picture to zoom.

These are pictures of the kitchen when we first moved in. Linoleum floor, outdated appliances, and plain maple cabinets etc.

This is our mostly refinished kitchen. We have a few things left to complete such as paint, curtains and a few decorations. We removed the sub floor, painted the cabinets, new counter top, cabinet hardware, hardwood floor, lowered the bar, new appliances, trim around the window, glass back splash. We LOVE it!

This was a built in china cabinet that we refinished with new hardware but still missing a handle that needs to be added. We love the color and the hardware.

Our first broken bone!

Our first broken bone. Jet and Jordan were rough housing on the bed on Wednesday afternoon. We were just about to head to the pool and Jet starts crying.... usually he's our little tough guy but this time he wouldn't stop crying so we knew something was up. We headed down to the Urgent Care and got it x-rayed and he broke his wrist. He was so good at both Dr.'s. Infact the lady that cast his arm said he was the best 4 yr old she's ever done. He hasn't been in much pain, which is good, nothing alittle tylenol can't take care of. Now we'll just have to personalize his cast!

Birthday Boy

a

Jet's birthday was on Tuesday and we had such a great day. Our little man turned 4yrs old. Wow, how time flies. First he woke to breakfast and a birthday gift, which was a transformer that he played with all day. Then we had his B-day party. He invited his two best buds and we took them to Jump Street. They all had a blast bouncing around on the tramps and bouncy slides. Then home for cupcakes, ice cream and presents. He got one more transformer, a fishing pole, money from nan and alittle horse flashlight from gamma ZoBell. What a day!!

ice cream cones, YUM.

The boys enjoyed ice cream cones the other night in the back yard. Finn had it dripping down his arm onto his little belly. Never fail Finn is done with his in about 3 seconds and then trying to eat Jet's. Jet takes his time eating and enjoying every last bite. I thought these were some good pics of the kids, especially Jet's silly faces.

I CHOPPED my hair!!!

Finn's 2nd Birthday!

We celebrated Finn's 2nd Birthday yesterday and he had such a great day! We started his day off with "Birthday boy, Birthday boy, here comes the Birthday boy". Then opening presents, which he loved. He did get his "Car's" car that he has been wanting for weeks now. He's talked about it for days and had many melt downs in stores over it. He played with his presents all day and then yesterday afternoon it was off to go see Car's the movie (I was a little disappointed in it) and then home to have Car's cake. We love our little Finn!

Bestest Dad!

I do want to give a shout out to the BEST dad EVER!! Jordan is so good with the boys and so wonderful to me. Happy Father's Day Jordan!! WE love you!!

Our boys are full of so much energy, as you may know if you have been around then for half a second. Our summer thus far has consisted of swimming at the lake a few times, swimming at the pool more than a few times, camping, playing in the back yard (it's usually after the sun has gone down since it's starting to get flamin' hot down here, and always water involved), eating popsicles, pada zobell and gamma visiting and just having fun.

Family Visit

Two weeks ago we had our annual girls weekend at my house. It's something my sisters and I look forward to the whole year. We get together for a long weekend and shop, eat, sew and just enjoy being together. We had such a great time eating out at the Olive Mill here in Queen Creek, shopping in Scottsdale and finishing some fun projects here at the house. Eliza and my mom stayed the next week, that was nice to have them stay alittle longer because the weekend always seems to go by just too fast. Jet loved playing with Mave, he followed Eliza around the house because he wanted to be close to them and he always would say to Eliza "can I play with Mave?" He's a good big brother.
