A few more house projects

We have been making a few small changes to our house here and there. We were lucky enough to get some cabinets that match ours perfectly for free. So we brought them home and added them to the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom.

Kitchen before...look above the dishwasher


Kitchen after- much better I think!


Laundry room before....


Laundry room after....not finished yet, but much better!


We have a place near here called Home ReSource. It's a recycling center for mostly building materials and items. We bought a door for to put in downstairs that didn't fit and had to return it. Since they don't refund money and the give a credit instead, we had to find things to spend that credit on. I don't have a good before picture of our old ceiling fan but here is a blurry one for and idea.


And here is the new one we found at the Home ReSource. Better, we just need to look for a better bulb cover.

At this place we also got a new light fixture for our bathroom. I am not going to post a pic of that til it is finished. We had to order some rings that hold the light covers on. Look for it soon :)
We have been learning that free and cheap doesn't always mean bad. I think we've added some pretty good stuff lately!

Mini Vacation

We needed a vacation!  We were only able to do a long weekend so we had to stick close by.  We decided on a trip to the Denver Zoo and The Downtown Aquarium.  It was a good choice!  We all enjoyed our time away.  

Monster Trucks and Family 2/2013

We went to Monster Jam on a recent trip to see Jordan and our family.  The kids loved it!  It was so so loud but fun to see! Everyone had their own favorite. Everyone went in already wanting to see grave digger, who is very popular but he broke down very early in the show.  Rylee liked the Mohawk truck and I think Kirk and Dylan both liked the dog one the best.  Best of all it was nice to spend family time together! While we were in Salt Lake we spent some time with family!  My aunts and girl cousins all get together for an aunts birthday.  This happened to be one of those gathering times.  so even though it was for a very short time it was good to see them all! Of course no one was looking at me for this photo!!  We also enjoyed time with my brother and his family and Jordan.

Sledding and Snow Play

Since we live in the middle of snow central we have to find ways to make it fun.  But there are dangers as well.  This was Christmas Vacation, it was so cold the whole time and the kids couldn't go outside.  It was usually around 10- during the daytime.  One day it was 20 degrees so I had the kids bundle up and go outside for a bit to play in the snow.   I went outside to give the boys hot chocolate while they were playing and to take their picture when I noticed that Rylee had white circles on his cheeks.  I panicked a little brought them all in, put warm washcloths on his face, and called the nurse line to ask what to do.  They said he had frostbite, stick him in the tub to warm his body and get his circulation flowing, and keep using the warm rags. If his skin turned red he was good, if it stayed white or blistered bring him in!  Thank goodness after awhile his cheeks turned red again!  I have no picture of the white patches on Rylee's che...
