A few before and afters

It's the summer of renovation around here. We're about two weeks away from being finished with Phase 1 so I thought I'd share a few Before and Afters.
Aiden showing off the old cabinets, dark green countertops, dark green hardware, laminate flooring, dark green wallpaper...you think someone loved the color green!?!

during remodel...check out the new floor!

No. More. Wallpaper. EVER! Also, one last look at the wall that separated the kitchen and dining room.

no more wall! The refrigerator was in the dining room temporarily while the floor was being tiled

the floor had to be leveled in the breakfast room before tile could be laid

I don't know why this picture is repeated several times but I don't know how to remove it!

Just got to brag a little on the hubby...he did ALL of the work (minus the kitchen countertop) by himself. So proud of him and his hard work! I can't wait until it's completely finished and we can put our feet up and enjoy it!

Children's Choir Closing Program






"shoot the artillery!" haha!
"march in the infantry"
"yes sir!!!"

Owen has loved his first year of Children's Choir and loves singing. He's gotten the chance to sing a couple of times at our Wednesday night Chapel services by himself. He's such a little ham and loves music. It was a great first year of choir!

Owen's birthday party with friends

Just a few photos from Owen's birthday party with his friends. He had a great time and has been talking about it for weeks!










Owen says.....

"thank you God for eggs" - when saying bedtime prayers which is weird since he won't eat eggs or even look at them
"thank you for the blossom festible (festival) and the music at the blossom festible" - which he said during bedtime prayers a week after the festival was over
"you gonna eat those frogfish?" - his first memorable experience with crawfish which apparently comes out frogfish every time he tries to say it
Photo heavy posts of his Children's Choir closing program, birthday party with friends, preschool end of the year program, and field day at preschool coming up!
