Here are a couple pictures of my kids playing sports. Hailey is quite the soccer player. She made the goal, and scored another one during this game. Tyson just finished his football this year, and sadly to admit, I didn't get very many pictures this year. Anyways, he did a great job. The last game he played both offense and defense--he even got to carry the ball 3 times! It was very exciting to watch him. The first part of the season, he played of the kick off team. He did a great job blocking.

Here's yet more pictures of our kitchen. There are tomatoes on the counter, and lots of flowers. It is also Stephen and my 19th anniversary this month. We were cooking dinner when these pictures were taken. I can't believe how fast nineteen years go by, it won't be long before I can say I've been married for half of my life. Crazy huh!?!

Some of you have asked where my kitchen table is, and it is on the other side of the island. I have a large space for my table. I really like it, but I still have more painting to do. It never ends!

Okay, more updated pictures. We finally finished our backsplash, hopefully you can see it.

This month would have been my mom's 63rd birthday. Happy Birthday mom. I miss you. Loosing a parent is not a fun thing! Enjoy your parents. You never know when they won't be there any more. We are getting together this Sunday to celebrate her birthday, and share fun memories of her. She was always so full of life and willing to help others. Some day I'll see her again and I can't wait! This is my mom with my Brandon. Man has he changed.

This past month has been busy and after many different people telling my to update my blog, I finally did. I need to get pictures of my kids playing football and soccer. I love watching my kids play sports. Stephen is now Hailey's soccer coach, and we play the first game under Stephen tomorrow. Tyson plays one of his last three games on Wed, and then Trevor wants to start fencing. Life is definately crazy. I'll try to remember to take the camera and post picture next week of my kids.

I just wanted to say the if any of you have the opportunity to see Henry Poole was Here, go see it. It is a great little movie. Luke Owen is in it, and he does a great job. I kept waiting for it to get funny, but it never did. My husband and I had some very thought provoking conversations about religion after the movie. I thought it was good! Has anyone else seen it?

Okay, after a very busy and long month, my kitchen is finally to this point. Isn't it beautiful? We still have a lot to do, backsplash, vent the over the range hood to outside, and some finishing touches to the kitchen cabinets (as you can see). I will have to send more pictures when they are all done. I love my kitchen! It is amazing to see the difference. I love it! Can I say it again, I love it!

I have been busy this past year updating my house. I finished my living room last year. Here's a picture of our living room at Christmas. I did the walls, Stephen did the floors, and we both did the crown molding. It was a lot of fun. I love the way the room turned out. Maybe I'll post a before and after, if I can find a before.
