Kitchen Remodel/Repair

 This winter we had an ice dam that caused a nasty water leak in our kitchen.  We are finally getting around to having them repair/replace the damage.  They had to take out a lot less than we originally thought.  They took the window casing off and then they took just a few smaller pieces of ceiling and wall out. I should have taken a picture of the fan and dehumidifier they had in our kitchen, but alas, I didn't.  Thankfully there is very little mold so they don't have to tent the house or anything nasty like that.  They are going to tear off part of the roof and replace shingles and rain gutter as well.  I will get pictures as they go.

Breakfast in Bed

Eli wanted to sit and mimic me while I was working.  It was so cute.

Chickens

Lana took the kids, on Saturday, down to IFA where they picked out 13 little chicks.  The kids were all able to pick out a few chicks.  Right now they are living in a box on our table.  They have to have a heat lamp on them for the next five weeks or so.  Soon, well not for about 9 months or so, we will have eggs coming out of our ears.  We will be constructing a coop soon and we will have a full-time home for the chickens over at Robyn and Alan's house.




First BUZZ Cut!

For over two weeks, ever since Lana cut Kanyon's hair, Eli had been begging for a hair cut.  When Lana was out on Saturday with all the other kids, picking up our chickens, I gave Eli a buzz.  He looks so grown up.

Basement Drain

I feel blessed.  Even though we keep having issues pop up, we have been able to get them fixed for  very reasonable costs.  We were originally quoted anywhere from $250-$900 to get this fixed.  We ended up getting it fixed for $70.  Now we are ready to get painting.

Nice Glasses

I wear these to pick up the ladies!!!!

Massage

Every time Eli gets out of the tub/shower he thinks he needs a massage.  He's really cute about it.  He loves to put his face in the head spot and relax.
