Kitchen is off the TO DO list!!

So starting a little over a year ago we started working on our kitchen. First are the before pics and then are the after pics. The last pic is a little project (coatrack bench for the boys) that I made this weekend. Now what will the next project be??? Don't worry, we have some ideas.

Before....

During...

 and...

Finished Product! Oh darn I just realized looking at this pic that I still need to put the handles on the pantry before I can officially take it off the to do list. Always something!

The work crew!

Mom, this pic is for you. The cookbook shelf is finished and I love it!

Here is the bench coatrack. I'm thinking of painting their favorite colors on the garage wall for each of their sections...or letting them loose with the paint! Dad, this is officially off the to do list.

Some Snow and Sun Fun!

The boys and I are headed over to Becky's (neighbor) to go hang out in their hot tub on a chilly morning! They thought they should be prepared and wear their goggles over! 

Hot Tubbin' It!

 I hung up a wiffle ball from a tree and the boys love giving it a good whack!

I knew Nick would love it because he is my ball boy!

I was surprised to see how much my Caders would love it!

A beautiful day calls for a beautiful trip to the ZOO!

We went with the boys buddies (and my buddy...their mom) Hard to see but there is an orangutang in the picture

My little zoo keeper/vet (or gator boy is what he likes to call himself)

The boys are getting the salad ready to feed the turtles at the Loft (one of our fav places because you always get to feed the animals)!
