Big Changes!

Dan and I started a little home improvement project a few weeks ago.  After 5 years in our house, we decided it was time to update it a bit.  Of course, these things always end up bigger and more involved than what we originally anticipate, but we are very happy with the outcome.  Posting pictures of just the kitchen now and will have some of the rest of the house once we get all the rugs down.  The before picture was taken when we first moved in.  Aside from the new appliances we've aquired as the old ones broke, this picture pretty accurately describes our kitchen right before the project started.

Spring Fever

Big Surprise!!

Last weekend, Megan and I surprised Finn and Molly with tickets to see Disney on ice. Our little prince and princess certainly enjoyed their day in the big city...and the $10 popcorn!

Best Dog Ever

Dan has seriously been on my case about not keeping up with my blog. So...I thought I'd dedicate this blog to the best dog ever. I know he gets very little attention around here, but I don't know many other dogs who would put up with Patrick's poking, pulling and tackling. The poor dog can't even eat in peace. Patrick is very entertained by Payton's eating and has himself a front row seat at every meal. And our sweet little puppy sure seems to enjoy the company!

Back to Bloggin

Yes, it's been a while! Our old computer started to poop out preventing me from staying connected to the internet long enough to make a post. But now....we have a new computer AND I got an AWESOME new camera (thanks to Keri Hove for the recommendation!) for my birthday, so no excuses for not posting. Thought I'd test out the camera's ability to take action shots at Airtastic. I give it an A+!

My 2nd Birthday to My Little Buddy

Ok, I know it has been almost a month, but can you believe my baby is 2 years old???

Happy 4th Birthday, Finn!

It feels like this whole month has been dedicated to Finn's birthday. Lots of parties with the Zanghis and O'Tooles, but the actual day is finally here! Finn woke up very excited to FINALLY be able to say he is 4 years old. It was extra special because his daddy took the day off work. They did some mini golf and go karting this morning and this afternoon we played in the yard. Finn picked his favorite for dinner (mac and cheese) and had 2 pieces of cake for dessert!
