Adams Avenue

This is Truman (obviously) and Lincoln, my nephew, the boys have lots of fun playing with each other. This went on for a few minutes, it is funny what boys do together for enjoyment.

Our family pet, Maddie, passed away due to a tear in her pericardium, she was very very ill so we took her to an emergency vet office and we were told the awful news... we love and miss her terribly, she was a great family pet, we have the best memories with her and the way she played/knocked down the kids.

It's been a long time since I have posted anything about our crazy life over the summer, so I will try to catch up, slowly. I apologize for those who have missed our updates, I will try to do better, or you can follow up on facebook, my new addiction.

Either way I will be posting here..... first up our first real family vacation..... Kona Hawaii. It was absolutely beautiful! Video to come.

It took 13 months of hard work from my husband, while working a full time job, spending time with the kids, and taking me on dates when I needed a break from mommy roll.

some of the pictures are before during and afters....

The shower in the bathroom, like you couldn't tell. Nice tile work!
