fun with Christina at Ikea

Kitchen Upgrade

We finally finished our Kitchen!! Lovely Leith helped us pick out all the colors for the counterop, paint, handles/knobs and tile. My sweet Josh did all the hard work. I did help sand the cabinet doors, but he did 90% of the painting because I am pregnant and he didn't want me exposed to the fumes. So after 3 weeks this is what we ended up with:

This is what the kitchen looked like when we first saw the house

This is when Josh removed the countertop

We tore off the Formica backsplash and tiled it.

This is after Josh's hard work!

The color of the paint is called Cookie Crumb. I loved the name :)

You always hear that the easiest upgrade in a kitchen is adding the hardware and that is so TRUE!!

The easiest part of the whole process was removing the countertops and adding the tile backsplash. The countertops took one day. The tiling took 2 days. It took over 2 and half weeks for sanding, painting and drilling the holes for the hardware! Of course it probably would have went faster if I helped Josh more :) He is amazing and so talented!! After knowing Josh for almost 7 years, he never ceases to amaze me. If he doesn't know how to do something he will study the subject and then accomplish the task!

having fun!

This is funny! It was 67 degrees yesterday :)

Adorable. It was so fun to ride TRAX

Awesome Race Car!

When we pulled into the Costco parking lot I immediately noticed this awesome Corvette. There was a spot to park right next to it. So we parked and when I opened Jackson door his eyes lit up like Christmas morning! It was the coolest Corvette we've ever seen!

Murray Fire Department

Love those eyes!

This is a picture Josh took a few days ago. We love this little guy so much. Jackson is super excited for his brother to come. Jackson asked me last night if the baby can hear him and I said, "He sure can!" Jackson said, "Cool!" Then he started talking to my stomach and poking it :)

Josh made Jack an elephant pancake :)

Cute Jack

Jackson has been making homemade pizza every week for the past month with his Daddy. We usually have one pineapple pizza and another bbq and chicken pizza! Josh & Jack make the crust with whole wheat too! Thank you Food Nanny!!

Jackson has started a Basketball Class. It is just drill training, no actual games. He loves it, but clearly loves soccer way more than basketball. Luckily in a few weeks they will start the soccer class.

This class is for 3-5 year olds. Jackson is the youngest and also the shortest. He is the one on the far left. It was so fun to watch him.

We love Cabela's

Jack's first time going bowling!

Here's Jack with his Aunt Megan!

He loved every moment and had a hard time waiting for his turn to come again! Jack came in 2nd place!!

Little Band Hero

Jackson loves that he can be Taylor Swift on the drums! This kid loves country! I'm so grateful for band hero because it has clean songs, characters are dressed modest and they made it so the little ones can play without a struggle of trying to stay alive. Way to go Activision!

Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling"

Jackson LOVES this song. He watches it almost everyday. I hope this is what it is like in Heaven. I think it is so cool that so many different people came together to participate in this event. It is a great reminder that we really are all brothers and sisters.

We have a Sunbeam!

Time sure flies. I almost cried when I dropped off Jack today. He LOVED class and his teachers. I thought he would miss the toys from nursery, but he didn't. Singing time and his teachers are way cool.
