All we have left is crown molding and baseboards. The countertops were installed today and they look fantastic!

I'm VERY happy with how the kitchen has turned out. Danny has done a really good job. He has worked on it everynight and on the weekends for 2 months with the exception when he and David went to Oakland.

Not sure why but my last post doesn't show up unless you click on August. weird... hopefully it won't happen with this post.

20 year reunion

I can't hardly believe it's been 20 years since I high school. I really enjoyed seeing everyone from school at the reunion this weekend. Reconnecting with old friends remincing about the good ole days.

It's getting closer!!!!

OMG! My kitchen is so close to being finished. Danny (with a HUGE help from my brother) was able to install the double oven yesterday. The rest of the cabinets we should finish install today. It's turning out beautiful. I'm really looking forward to having a kitchen sink again. It gets rather old going out the the trailer to do the dishes and cooking.

Progress

The kitchen is coming along pretty well. After a weekend of sore knees the wood floors are installed thanks to the help of Erin.

The exciting news is that the cupboards were delivered yesterday!!! So now the fun part begins. If all goes well the kitchen should be pretty much completed by next weekend. Then all we have left is all the door/floor trim.

It's looking so good. Danny is doing a great job and I can't wait until it's finished!

On another note. David has been in Arizona for a week and I miss him like crazy. He will be back on the 25th and I can't wait to see him. I'm posting a current picture of my kitchen and a picture of David with Daunte Culpepper that was taken last weekend in Oakland. I have a HUGE crush on Daunte and have for more than a few years. I'm super excited he'll be playing for the Raiders this year!

Go Raiders!!!

Harry Potter

David has read Books 5 and 6 of Harry Potter this summer. He was so excited to read the final book so he and I went to the local bookstore at midnight to be able to buy the 7th book. I personally don't care for fantasy type books but I was excited for David.

It took him 3 days to read the entire book and he was not disappointed at all. I love the fact that he loves to read so much.

Now if I could just find enough time in a day to read a book instead of just browsing through a magazine.

remodeling

I'm getting ready to start week 3 without a kitchen. Danny has been working his tail off. By the end of next week we should have the drywall and painting, plumbing, and electrical completed. Then he and Erin will be installing the hardwood floors.

I get worried that he is working to much. Between "real work" and remodeling the guy hasn't had a chance to relax. So he and David are going to Oakland for the Raider Nation Celebration in August. He deserves the break.

Here is a picture of the progress so far. It changes a little bit more everyday.

baggy pants

Isn't this the CUTEST picture?!!! David took it the other day with my new camera. (loving the new camera by the way!!!)

The smile on his face in this pictures lights up my heart and makes me smile. Adam is a very fun toddler to be around. Perhaps it's because there is never a dull moment with him around. I swear from the minute he was born... actually even before he was born he has tried to be independent. After all this is a child who nearly entered the world without a doctor or nurse in the room.

Anyway... he is a little daredevil. At the pool he is going down the "red and blue" slides. These slides are made more for 4-6 year olds. But he has no fear and skips over playing on the little toddler frog slide. I guess maybe he is a thrill seeker. (I so dread him being a teenager!)

All I know is that I'm sure thrilled that he has decided to be finished with diapers!!! I have to say he was SUPER easy. I haven't been brave enough to let him go all night without a pull up but he does wake up dry every morning so maybe I'll be adventerous and let him try it one of these nights.
