Birthday and BBQ.

Last Friday night we had a BBQ for little

Leah's 1st birthday and to spend more family

time before the Cooke's headed back to New York.

Maddy, Clare and Leah.

The girls in their mini chairs.

Clare feeding Grandpa goldfish.

This is funny.

While the girls were swimming earlier Lucy

had her feet in the pool to help keep cool,

so after they got out and Maddy asked to get dressed,

she headed right back down with a chair and

put her feet in the pool just like Lucy!!!

Now they are doing it together!

Jesse, Mallory and Leah.

Happy 1st birthday sweet girl!!!

Cake with my girls.

Visit With Autumn!!!

While the boys were enjoying themselves up north,

the girls and I headed down to Tucson for the day for

some much needed playtime with Autumn and Sarah!

We got to meet Dean too!

The girls eating lunch.

The girls played very nicely all day and

Sarah and I chatted all day.

It was a great visit, we need to do it more often!

On the way back home we stopped in to see

Ella and Auntie M...

Maddy held Ella and they played with her toys....

no pictures though.

Katie and Trey got married back in October and

Well he is back and there was a reception to be had!!!

Yum!

She's ready to work.

I sure hope they don't do it when we get the wood.

Ha!

Ready!

Drawing.

She asked me to take a picture of her pretending to sleep.

Back Bathroom Complete!!

Taking out the plastic liner.

Made a little cubby for shampoo and such.

Pre and post grout.

Done!

Well, we still need a new light fixture,

faucet and I want to do something to

the mirror, but Greg likes it so we'll see.

Crown Is Going Up!!!

Today the boys threw up some crown in the living room.

Just need to caulk and paint and then we will

lay the wood and then place baseboard.

Our first room with be complete!!!!

(Not including the two bathrooms.)

Window Trim

After Greg and Big Greg installed the windows,

Greg had to fill all around each window

with foam and caulk on the outside.

Well, last week we got some trim put

up on three of the four new windows.

I love how it looks!!

So much that we decided to put

it on the living room windows!!

In the pictures below the trim is up,

but it has not been caulked or painted.

Still needed the trim done when this picture was taken.

Stove Top Hood

We bought this hood for our stove and when

Greg and Big Greg put it in it was really low.

Too low.

Lucky they are pretty handy and were able to

remedy the problem and raise it up about 4inches.

Kitchen Cabinet Glass

We finally looked into and decided on the

glass for our only two upper cabinets.

We love it!
