I was looking through the pictures on my phone and came across these great little moments! Here's Ebay playing goalie for the first time in a scrimmage! I don't think I've ever seen him so excited! I showed the picture to Dave and he got a tear in his eye! :)
Lils and her little best friend. It was Lils' first day at her new school! I was so happy she had a good friend there to help her through.
When Lils is at school, it's just the three of us. E and Rose have a cute love/'noying friendship. Here's a sweet moment where they shared a seat at the gym while I checked in. They do this every morning.
Rose and Lils were playing on the softball fields during Ebay's soccer practice. There was dirt everywhere! Coating each individual eyelash!
Ebay got some cool snow boats from his Grandma in preparation for our Thanksgiving trip to Utah. He went through a phase where he was wearing them everywhere throughout the house for weeks.
Holding hands walking to the gym. My favorite and very rare occurrence.
Lils and Rose sharing a milkshake at Red Robin. We go to Red Robin every year on the first day of school! (A tradition I just made up when Lils went to Kindergarten- it's been a good one!)
When Lil and I went tout to Virginia together she wanted to get her Daddy something at the airport so bad! She found this shot glass and was so excited to see Pres. Obama! She thought it was the coolest and that Dave would want it so bad! I almost bought it for the joke (it says "Yes We Did!" on it). But the laugh wasn't worth $7.95, so I just took a picture and sent it to him.
Also from our Virginia trip- we got to ride on this from D.C. to Richmond! So cool!
My little stylin' girl! She wore these monkey boots everywhere, but when she wore them to the pool in her swim suit, I had to take a pic.
Dave used my phone at the father and son camp out because his battery was dead, so I have this sweet little shot of Ebay having the best time of his life with his Daddy!
Last weekend I called Dave as he was driving home from work on Friday and said, "I know what we're doing this weekend!" So between 2 soccer games, a softball game and BYU football- we sanded, cleaned, primed, painted, and put new hardware on our kitchen cabinets! I love the outcome! It was a lot of hard work, but the cabinets had been chippy and messy and dark since we moved in, and it was just time. We started on Friday night, took down the cabinet doors (that took Dave all of 5 minutes), and started sanding. That made a huge mess everywhere and it took a while to get all of the sanded paint and wood off of everything. Then the painting of the primer began. We got the primer on everything before going to bed on Fri at 1 am. Saturday we just painted coats of our beautiful cream color on the cabinets throughout the day. The one thing I wished we hadn't done was use painters tape. It ruined all of our edges. But I always just thought you had to use tape... you just had to, right? No. Our good friend Brad came over and said that you can just use a small brush and paint the edges carefully using a wet paper towel to wipe up the mistakes... GENIUS! :)
The chipping of the cabinets and the greasiness.
All primed up.
This was how it looked after we were finished on Monday night. We waited for the paint to set up nicely for two/three days before putting the doors back on. I noticed that the table didn't go as nicely anymore and that the pantry door needed to be painted as well, it stuck out like a white sore thumb. So, while Dave and Easton have been gone this weekend, I set to work on Thursday painting the door, chairs and table. Here's the final result:
Yay! I love it! We used black/antique bronze hardware to bring in the black surrounding our windows and our appliances. The table and chair legs were already black, do they just needed the tops painted. I still haven't put the glass back on the table, still waiting for it to completely dry. I love my kitchen! The next project is taking down that kitchen florescent light thingy of hugeness and putting in recessed lighting. Thank you google.
