Our big house renovations!!!!

This is taken from the old toy room and now is going to be the kitchen and looking towards our eating area. We have one feature wall which is a dark brown.

This is taken directly from the entrance and what a different feeling now when you walk in. I am so excited for our new kitchen and bathroom and i am so proud of my husband who is working so hard on this every day and nights. But yea it's alot of work. We are living at pap and mom's right now so that is really nice because we wouldn't be able to live without a bathroom and kitchen and pap and mom are in holland right now so we are taking care of the house and we are excited for you to come home again. Betty have fun while your there!!! :)

These are the new stairs going to the basement. It's all drywalled but has to get taped and mudded yet so yea lots of work there too. That is going to be the new toy room, Caden is so excited about his new house. I took the kids there tonite to bring richard supper and caden didn't want to leave but i told him when its all done we will live here again. So yea lots of work to do yet but lots has been done in 2 weeks.

The new beams getting put in and they will be stained a dark walnut stain.

Looking towards the living room and standing in the old kitchen and is going to be the eating area now.

She didn't want to stand nice for a picture but i wanted to show the new sunday outfit i got her. She has a few owies! She fell down a few stairs and got a bump on her head and a sore lip. felt sorry for her but she didn't cry that long.

She has such a bratty look on her face here!

My little stud!

So cute that he actually kept his arm there and that she allowed it.

Caden fell asleep on the couch while I was watching the news and Janelle of course has to touch him, but i told her to be nice and she was trying to pat him nicely!

Well is that going to be nice you think???

Well i am still being nice mom!!! She did actually wake him up and he was not impressed!

Caden got a new sunday blouse and a tie and new pants and we thought we would show him off. Looks so spiffy hey!

Caden's Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Our big boy now, he doesn't have a soother anymore, we talked to him and said that he is going to be a big boy when he turns 3 and he doesn't need it and that it was in the garbage. So now he says its in the garbage. We are pretty proud of him!

Spending quality time with Opa and Oma!

Showing Oma that he has two drills now!

Look at his face, shows that he didn't want to wear his pouch, once he gets used to it he will love it.

Getting his present from mom and dad.

She is such a stinken brat, and she knows it!

He was reading it to Opa and Oma and it was so cute!

One of his tools, "Just like Dad's" is what he says.
