Furniture!

It's a miracle! We now have ALL of our furniture! We have a dinning room!

The doors weren't on yet, but you can see them on the side. My pops made both this hutch and the corner one. This one is made from the old bleachers of the old junior high in BD. And take note, the updated light, it's now black instead of brass nastiness.
So decorating and such is scheduled for this weekend. Greg will be away so the girls will play!

I LOVE noodles! and generally anything you stick in front of my face.

Well HELLLOOOOO ladies!

I do my own hair, no way does mommy give me this crazy curl!

Giggle is my middle name!

Now we have on our working hair.

Counter tops are coming tomorrow (monday)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is coming together. Watch out world.

9 Months

Jake is 9 months plus a couple weeks. His check up was friday...coming in at 18.8 pounds and 29.5" he is consistently growing at 90th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight.

Not bad coming from this! (7.1 pounds, 19.5")



And he wears 12 month clothes. For now.

Oopsie Daisy

Well, it's been awhile, 1,000 apologies. We've beend doing a few things....


Went to a wedding shower...
And a First Communion...

Had a photo shoot...

And ate some taters...

Went for a swing...

And went to a wedding...


Hung out with mom & dad...

Stood on Home Plate at the Field of Dreams...

While on the way to Alexa's in Iowa...

Then stood on the bowling lanes...

And ate some cheese...

Sat out in the grass...

And was part of a photo no one even knew was taken...

Rode on a Merry-Go-Round...

And came home for another photo shoot...

To have proof I finally got a tooth!
(click on this photo, you can really see it!)

No More Hoooooots

The owls are gone. It's very sad and lonely now! I hope they come back. The neighborhood is quiet, no serenading at night or in the morning, no "good morning hootie owls" from Jake...at least an attempt at it!

Tonight we have a wedding to go to! I get to shake my bon-bon. (Oh scary, when typing in Ricky Martin on google, the images it pulls up is him and another fella in speedos!) Saturday Jakers and I are going swimming with some family and friends. And Sunday we head back to K-town.

That's all I got right now, I'm at work so no new pictures! So here's a re-cap of the last swimming adventure in January!

it's a microw-wave

Buzz & Sue came for the weekend and we got lots accomplished! Installation of a 21st century microwave (we have been borrowing one from Tony & Tricia which was probably their first one they ever owned.) But it's still not functional, don't know why.

And the cupboards are full! Well, not actually, I have room for more gadgets! Here is a sample!
That drawer front was scratched, so we wait for another one...and it'll probably be about mid-May when we get our counter tops. And then...ahhh...counter space.

Lots of other little things got done, it was great. And now we have a box-free dinning room! Until today...all the boxes from the kitchen lights are in there.

Greg's home! Toodles!

Multi-poster

Take note, there are a couple posts from today. I really am caught up I think!

To catch up on a few things:
the owls. it's a family, great horned owls. Jake and I went to check them out the other night. Here's kind-of a picture...they blend in with the tree so a little hard to see. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you may be able to see them better. But I can see them from the sun room...it's pretty cool. and they do whooot...in the morning and at night. it's loud enough to hear inside, but not obnoxiously loud...a pleasant loud if that makes sense.
deal or no deal: last week wednesday Angie and I went up to Green Bay with oodles of other people to audition for Deal or No Deal. We haven't gotten the phone call yet, but I'm patiently waiting!

Here we are originally in line...right by the Kohl's. Angie did go buy a hat and socks.

This is the view from the door to finally get into the mall at 1:30p.m. We were at one time, 8:30a.m., over by those doors by the tan arch thingy and came from the left of the picture.

That's about it I guess. I promise to post again sooner than the end of June! :)

It GLORIOUS!!!

Well, the kitchen is 90% done! A few minor details, like the electrician coming back to finish, the microwave, dishwasher, sink, counters, garbage disposal, that last drawer front, and trim getting installed...okay, so maybe we'll sink it back down to 75-80%. But it's a lot better than it was just a few weeks ago!

Here's a nice recap for ya's!
