Just another day at the park!

Preston went to his first parade today and of course we forgot the camera! But I did manage to snap a few cute pictures at the park!

THE KITCHEN!!!!!

The Kitchen Before........

The Kitchen during renovations.......

The kitchen today.....almost done!!

close up of the counter tops we put in this weekend!

Aside from a few small things to finish, the kitchen is done!!! I am so happy with the way everything turned out! I cannot even count how many hours we spent working on the kitchen, but I have to say it's worth it!

Gotta love Summer!!!

I LOVE Summer! I love the warm weather, going to the pool, grilling, ice cream cones, wearing sandals again........the list could go on and on!! But one of the things I LOVE most of all, is at night we all just FALL into bed, exhausted from all our adventures!!

This is the whole reason I wanted to get family
pictures taken~ I saw this in a Pottery Barn Mag.
and LOVED it! They are 8x10's, so it pretty much
takes up the whole wall. (Thanks Jim for hanging
them!)

Little boy's and sand boxes!

I'm not sure what it is about the sand box, but Preston can play in it forever! The only down side is that sand gets EVERYWHERE! The worst place is in his diaper..it's always full of sand! I guess it's worth it in the long run!
This has been a really busy week for us, we finally put in our new hardwood floors! We ripped up linoleum in the kitchen, carpet in the dining room and part of the living room, and tile in the front entry way!The hardwood floors look AWESOME! So now all we have left is the new counter tops (which should be in on Friday!) and new carpet........we'll probably tackle that next month! Pictures soon to come!

Gas Mask!

I thought Jim with his gas mask was soo funny!! The kitchen is coming along great! The cabinets are finally done, tomorrow we start on the hardwood flooring, and in about a week the counter tops will be here!! When it's all done I'll post more pictures!

Family Pictures

I am so EXCITED to finally have our family pictures taken! My friend Charity took them for us last Friday(thanks Charity!!) She took a TON of AWESOME pictures, and it was SO hard for me to narrow down which ones to post! So here are a few of my favorites!
