Bathroom Redo...Finally Done!

We redid the master bath at our new house.  It has been done for a while, but it did almost take forever.  We are still working out an AC vent cover (we removed a light box and now the AC vent cover needs to be a custom size because of the crown molding), and Matt needs to install the drawer pulls on the cabinet. I'm just now getting around to updating the blog.  We are pleased with the way it looks now.  Here is a before photo and some after photos!



 
 

Ready for warmer weather!

We have enjoyed our new house so much!  I can't wait until it gets warmer and we can enjoy the backyard too...So far, we've ventured into the hot tub a few times.  The cousins all love to swim!



Taylor and Johnny got in the chilly water....and they both said it was very chilly!!!

Jordan is TWO! Wow! How time flies!!

Jordan turned two early this month!  I cannot believe the time has gone by so quickly!  She is every bit a two year old.  She wants to do everything herself!  Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I wanna scream!  It takes twice or three times as long to get in the car now days...and multiple times asking to, "Get in your seat."   She loved singing "Happy Birthday to Me".  She is a blessing to our family and her older sister just adores her...Jordan always has to be the baby or the dog when they play house.  

Jordan's Two Year Stats:
Weight 29lbs (77.25%)
Height 34in (53.93%)
Head Circumference 19.49in (92.5%)

Happy New Year!

I think the last 3 of 4 New Years we have spent it with some great friends.  Even before we had kids we got together with Zach and Bronwyn for New Years.  It is always fun to talk about past events and we really enjoy their company.  Now that we both have kids, the girls all love playing together too!  They played so well!  We played, shot off fireworks, had s'mores, and the adults welcomed the new year with a dip in the hot tub...well most of us stayed in the hot tub...Zach took a few jumps into the icy cold pool!
The quality of photos isn't very good.  I was trying some different settings with my camera, none of which worked well.  It was also very foggy and the smoke didn't seem to move much!  Enjoy these cruddy photos :)!

 
      



  
 




Christmas at Nana and Papa's House!

Christmas Day, after playing with Santa's gifts and opening presents at our house, we went over to Nana and Papa's house for an elaborate brunch consisting of breakfast casserole, bacon, quiche, blueberry muffins, french toast made with french bread and strawberries with homemade whip cream, other fruits, juices, and we opened presents!  We stayed till after dinner and the girls loved playing with new toys and seeing all the family!  

Adam and Kat got engaged earlier this month and we were lucky to have them both at Christmas this year!  Welcome to the family Kat!  We can't wait for the wedding!!


 
 





  

  


We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and ate cupcakes!  Happy Birthday Jesus!  We love you!


Santa and our Little Family Christmas

 A few days before Christmas we made cookies for Santa and cupcakes for Jesus' birthday!  Christmas Eve we set out the cookies and milk and of course had to find something for the reindeer, all we had was broccoli, but Taylor loves broccoli and was sure the reindeer would love it too!!  The girls slept in on Christmas Day and we had to wake them up to open presents and see all the goodies Santa brought them.  It was great to see them both so anxious to open presents and enjoy playing with their toys!  







 
 


 
   

Wilcox Christmas

We spend Christmas Eve with the Wilcox family at Matt's brothers house this year.  The kiddos played, we ate yummy enchiladas, and opened presents!  We had such a great time.  Thanks Adam and Julie for hosting all of us!
