Ok, to get it all start at the bottom post. Was going to make one big one but the amount of pictures was limiting me.
Love being able to share this with you all.
Already thinking of a garden post. Would go take pictures now but it is raining.
And next week I'll do a prom post. We have a hectic week of prom preparations!
Make-up trial run is scheduled today. Thank goodness for wonderful friends!
Missy is going to do Lainey's make-up and she is treating her to a gift certificate for her nails.
We went to the tanning salon last night and talked about her getting a spray tan to even out the lines from her sunburn. They have a special going for it Buy One Get One so I may get sprayed for my birthday. Kyle thinks it will be a good idea because of what we are doing next weekend but I don't know what that is...wonder what he planned? Hope he realizes prom will be the main event of my birthday.
Hope you enjoy our blog.
Love, B

Kitchen remodel phase 2
This one is deceiving because it looks like the dishwasher is in. It's not. It's just in the kitchen. The countertops are on temporarily. Didn't mention in the other post that the only counter I had for a week was the weird tile piece beside the sink. We ate frozen dinners that week. Weight Watcher Smart Ones do not fill up a 13 year old boy. He supplemented with LOTS of yogurt, apples and Hot Pockets.
I am really happy with the color I chose. I was getting a little nervous the week I spent looking at it in the garage. Worried how the yellow would look with it but I like it.
This one is just so you can see how we are functioning. Odd things are ending up in the top drawer which is the silverware. There are not pot holders, paper towels and foil in that drawer.

I think I've figured out part of the pictures! Last one you upload is the first one that shows. Go figure!
This is the end of day one. The cabinet on the left is the one that Scott is going to mount the 4 ft. piece of countertop on. It will be beside the refrigerator. He may bring it tomorrow.
He is so nice to help with this! He works full time, has 3 kids (7 year old and 3 year old twins), helps his parents alot (his dad just had a mild heart attack but is doing well) plus he is doing other handyman jobs for other people. Right now mainly Kyle's dad. He did some electrical work for them yesterday so didn't get to work on the cabinet as much as he planned.
This is where that cabinet was. Where the dishwasher is going. He's going to build a cabinet to go beside it. I'm not losing any cabinet space like I originally worried about. Gaining another small drawer and cabinet. He is going to reconfigure a drawer and cabinet door that were removed when I first moved in. So glad that I saved them!
more yucky countertop
The gunk under the backsplash was horrible!

I did some touch up painting so all that was painted. I didn't take pictures of the work I did.
Just scrubbing the grime up and painting :)
Kitchen remodel phase 1
The great deal on a dishwasher at a yard sale has turned into a kitchen remodel. The friends that I bought the dishwasher from said if it doesn't work they will refund my $15. :)
I'm trusting that it will be a wonderful dishwasher and work like a dream!
Ok, this picture should really be at the bottom but I haven't completely figured out how to upload photos evidently. This one shows the nastiness after the 1970's backsplash was removed.
Here is a shot of the kitchen the night before work began. I had moved drawers, etc.
another before
and again
So happy to say goodby to the weird tile configuration. Never did figure it out.

Parker's football 2007
We just finished a hectic football season. Parker's last for community league. Next year will begin his school career. He had a fabulous year and learned more than ever before and strenghtened his skills. He made the all-star team. Last night finished up the second weekend of tournaments. Parker's season highlights: He scored a touchdown (mom missed it because she had to leave for church); when playing Russell County and tackled the running back who was supposedly old enough and large enough to be a freshman; causing 5 or so fumbles during regular season play. We've all enjoyed it. Glad it's over now but will probably start missing it in the next few weeks.
Hiking 2007
We went on a hike at Green River Lake with our personal photographer, Lainey and her assistant Kyle so she could be in some pictures. We had a fun hike, the weather was perfect and the trees were beautiful.
