Here we go!!

We have wanted to redo our cupboards for quite a few years, and this year had enough from our tax returns to do it! Our good friend Terri Treasure has worked in a cabinet shop for 10 yrs or so and is giving us a really good deal to come and do it. Jer will help of course. Me, I'm getting out of here!! ;) The kids and I will go hang out with family most of the time, and come Sunday they will look so awesome! I'm so excited! Of course putting everything back in the cupboards will be a pain, but I'm kind of excited to rearrange them a little bit. So, here is some before pics. Some after will come next week.Sure makes you realize how much crap you have in your kitchen ;) I have already thrown away quite a bit of stuff!

Kylee's Party

Kylee had a fun Birthday Party. 3 Friends came and they played games, ate pizza, giggled, played more games, and watched a movie. She is so grown up! She pretty much did it all herself.

All set up. Pizza, popcorn, treats, and games.I've had this idea for years and finally did it. I used toilet paper rolls and filled them with candy, then covered them with tissue paper and ties the ends. I think everyone liked them ;) Kylee got the donuts for free for having good grades.
They played some silly game where they had to eat baby food. They all hated it and ended up quitting after one round. It was funny.
They loved Apples to Apples, and charades the best. They also painted fingernails.


She loved all the presents she got too!Ooh, makeup ;)
Especially the candy!

All in all, as much as I'm a non party lover, I had fun and I'm glad they did too.

Man I needed this!

It was such a great weekend! I really needed a break from life. Kylee's party was fun, but going to the cabin where there is no phones or Internet, was so nice! We had such fun sledding, laughing, riding snow mobiles and watching movies. I had so much fun on a ride alone with Jeremy. Jer got stuck in the snow and we had to turn the snow mobile around. It was so hard, but we work good together!

It's serious business, getting ready to go play in the snow! ;)

Boy was it fun! Even Jenna liked the big hill.
She wanted to go by herself. And she laughed when she crashed.
Summer is not afraid. She said she likes riding with Dad on the snowmobile cause he goes fast!
Logan didn't even wait for help. When he got to the top he sat and went right back down again! Since he doesn't weigh too much, he went way far too. He loved it!
We had to make Kylee go down. She is our scared one. But she ended up loving it and going by herself.
She even got Grandpa Ovard to go down with her. The crashed right after this. It was funny.
Later Jenna got tired of going so she just hung out with Grandpa while the others went on the sleds. We ended up taking them to the top on the snowmobiles and pushing them off, then going back down and getting them. They loved it!
Kylee said she thinks we need to do this every year. Maybe we ought to invest in these snowmobiles ;)
