Florida Fun!
25 Feb 2012 3 Comments
Well, we are in Florida and having a good time. The kids travelled well and our house that we are staying in is beautiful – its a 7 bedroom, 4.5 bath with its’ ow private screened in pool and hot tub! The kids are loving the sun, swimming up a storm and having a great time. So far, we have checked out SeaWorld, which the kids loved, Daytona Beach and an orange orchard. It was all a lot of fun!
A picture of our house…

A quick stop to feed fruit to the cows…Brianna thought it was hilarious, especially when she hit one on the head




And of course, the main event, Laura’s wedding. It was a beautiful day, a great spot on Cocoa Beach and a wonderful meal at a local restaurant after. The wedding was short and sweet, but quite nice! Here are some of the pictures…

Kitchen Renovation

I have always loved my kitchen – it is a wonderful place for me to cook and entertain and enjoy one of my favorite things – spending time with friends and family! James has never been thrilled with many of the finishing things on the kitchen and decided to fix them all. Most of the things were little and in general you wouldn’t notice, but they were all things that drove him crazy. In the process (as with any renovation), one thing turned to the next and before you knew it we were installing granite countertops, undercounter lighting, soft close hinges on the doors, and tile backsplash. The end result – my dream kitchen that really could be in a magazine! I absolutely love it and am so happy with all of the work that James put into it – he rocks!

And the afters!



Thanks again James!

Here is one of Sierra in the tub and basking in the sun before her bath!


And playing around a bit more with the lighting…if only I had time to self-teach on the Internet! Oh well, we are getting there!



And my three little girls looking so cute after naptime!
