Wow, 2 posts in ONE day!? I must have a lot of time on my hands! Not really, but so many things have happened today that I just had to share. I love love love this weather and I love where I live. I am so grateful for Kevin's insight to buying a house at the right time and we're so lucky everything worked out for good. It's been a busy day of … [Read more...]
Happy Happenings
I finally finished my cabinets! Yea! They turned out pretty good I think. To save on new hinges, I spray painted the old ones black and I accidently screwed them in too close to the edge and the black is already scraping off :( I'll have to fix that later. I cut wains coating with a scroll saw and used liquid nails to press it into the existing … [Read more...]
Little Goaties
Princess had her little goaties, they are really cute! Jessica was in town and we got to stay up late together out in the rain & cold and watch the birth. It is crazy how fast they get up after they are born. Now, at about 2 weeks old, they are stinkin fast and love to jump on top of their mom and stand on her back, it's really funny! If … [Read more...]
Christmas is Over
Ah, I love the holiday season, but I'm also so glad when it's over! Kevin listens to way too much Christmas music, I know you don't think that's possible but it IS! He even listens to it after Christmas. Christmas this year was fun, I think the highlight was making fires in our fireplace every morning. Kevin is so fun around Christmas because he … [Read more...]
Goats and other random things…
Hello to all my 5 readers out there! Thanks for tuning in to our adventurous life. This month has flown by and here are the events.

Kevin started on the treehouse! … [Read more...]

Recovering.
I am back. The surgery was...okay I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty upset when I first got to the surgery center because I thought this was going to be like my last surgery and I would just be put under IV sedation, but then they told me they were going to have to actually cut me open so I would need to be intubated. YUCK! I was in tears because, … [Read more...]
Another Surgery
Well, here I go again...it seems I have another bulging disk. About six months after the last surgery, I started to have a little sciatic pain down my legs. Each time I would over exert myself, it would start to shoot down my leg. UGH! So I finally had another MRI and they found a small bulge (not nearly as bad as before) and on Monday I'm going to … [Read more...]
Feeling Settled
We are so happy in our new house! I love how quiet the street is and how I feel like I'm living in the country. I can't wait for it to get cooler so we can spend a little more time outside. I'm having a blast mowing the lawn, mostly because I love the riding lawn mower, I just think it's fun to ride. I don't even break a sweat because I get … [Read more...]
The Final Task
AH! Last Saturday we finally got around to the task of grouting our tile. We had to take a picture of the first plop of grout , yeah it doesn't take much to make us laugh. Dad came prepared with all the gear and we were ready to go! We worked from 10 till 2 and mostly had people coming and going during that time except for my AMAZING SISTER … [Read more...]
Random pics
We have been having fun living in our new house! Living in a remodel is kind of frustrating, but we'll get there soon enough. Here's a picture of Lydia, she fell asleep on our current time out chair the little stinker. The puppies are getting bigger and we are excited to see them get older and cuter. Kevin, Becky, Tara, Mom and I went to see Wicked … [Read more...]
Warmer…warmer…
Laaaaaaaaaaaaa! (Imagine music playing) Our Carpet is in! I waited all day for these guys to come install and I was in a pretty bad mood, but alas! they arrived and installed the beautiful carpet. It looks so great and it feels like a real live home! I even started yelling at the kids for rubbing down the new carpet. The Great Room Lydia's Room … [Read more...]
