Kitchen Counters

We have been busy getting ready for and doing our kitchen counters!  SO EXCITING!!! I might actually have a kitchen again!! YIPPEEEEE!

 On our island and bar, I really wanted butcher block. But it is REALLY expensive, so we made our own redneck version :) We took all the 2x4's from our forms, lined them up and nailed/glued them together!  VOILA!  we ground them down a  bit then had an adventure with apoxy.....TBC

 Here's the counter before apoxy...

 I love my hanging colander light :)

 here's the first layer of apoxy. Looks pretty awesome, but we had to do the bar two times because we messed up the first layer.  BUT they both turned out beautiful so I can't complain

 Scott and nick did the concrete tops.  I LOVE how they turned out!

Last Time

Take a good look! This is the last day our kitchen will be empty!! Our cabinets are being delivered today and installed tomorrow!!!❤
can't wait to see how they turned out!

Not kidding

Really.  I wasn't kidding.  I said,..."Stop fighting or you're walking home"

Enough said.

hands

these cute little hands have been on the kitchen wall for weeks and I can't bring myself to wipe them off! They are so stinking cute, they might have to stay.....❤

Nailed It!!

so Lucy brought home a cookbook from the school library to make cute animal cupcakes. Not having an oven...let alone a kitchen....this is how we did. I think we pretty much nailed it!! 

first dirtbike day of the season

We took a break from working on the house Saturday and got the dirtbike out for spring! Everybody did great. Even Eli and Luke got to try riding Macy's bike.  Macy was so brave this year!! she rode around the yard a little then agreed to try going around the lake. She did great!!!
Lane tried riding the 80 and totally fits it !! Me and Scott can't believe we have a kid big enough to ride it!! That is the bike that I learned how to ride on!! Must mean we are getting old :)

it was a really fun day, and was nice just to play together ❤

Eli was a great riding buddy! He LOVES motorcycles!

This is one of my favorite pictures!  Lane is such a sweet big brother sometimes. And the little boys love him so much! Lane totally looks like a teenager here though and that kind of freaks me out a tiny bit :)

pinewood derby

Lane's derby car this year.  The "rock monster"  It was not a very successful car, and the smiles are pre-racing.  The after racing face was....sad.....BUT there's always next year, Buddy!!!
