Kids & Teeth

I took Isabelle & Brandon to the dentist yesterday for their 6 month check up & cleaning. Brandon is fine. Isabelle lost a filling and the dentist replaced it. They also got x rays. Marissa goes back next month for 1 more filling. Then her & Patrick start their appointment with the orthodontist for braces. So far they have 2 appointments. They aren't worried if it will hurt getting them they want to be able to pick the colors. Kids.......

The cabinets get mounted to the walls

They are looking absolutely great. Can't wait for them to be all done. It's been awful not having a kitchen to cook in for so long. The first picture is the cabinets over the sink area. The middle cabinet will be a plate rack. We are waiting for the inserts to be ordered. The other picture is the corner over the stove. The corner cabinet is a lay susan but we need to get new hinges because the door won't open with the microwave. I'm off to paint something. Also we are waiting for the building inspector to come so he can inspect the new heat/ac units. TTYL Kat

Isabelle has lost...

her first tooth.

My last baby has lost her first tooth. I can't believe my kids are growing up so fast.

The Kitchen cabinets

The cabinets are coming together. Mike has almost all the upper cabinets stained and clear coated and is getting ready to install them. Then he can get to work on the base cabinets.

Staining the cabinets

This week Mike is staining cabinets with a little help from his friends. The first picture is Mike working on the flooring in the kitchen and the cats climbing all over him.(Maxie,Jakee & Lola) When ever he sits downs and has the cats and dogs all over him. The second picture is Lola helping sand a cabinet. As you can tell the cabinets are turning our beautifully.

I am sewing curtains for Isabelle's room. I for the life of me can't find the foot pedal for my sewing machine so am doing it by hand. I don't mind at all, keeps me off my knee that i somehow twisted

the other day.

I have to tell ya about my best Christmas present. On Black friday

i bought myself a 7qt slow cooker. I have used it so much. Last week i made the best vegetarian chili that everyone (but the youngest) loved. The pot was gone in 2 days. Yesterday i started cooking vegetable soup. Today it is sooo good. Mike & I already had a bowl for lunch. TTYL Kathie

Getting back into work mode

First i had to show off how our 2 yorkies look. Their hair has grown in so much since we got them. They are both so cute. (but all our animals are cute)

The next picture is Mike putting together a kitchen cart that i found at Lowe's (thanks Grandma Mary). She sent us a gift card and that is one thing i bought with it. I also got a 9 foot Christmas tree for 75% after Christmas. We had a 7 foot tree this year and it looked so small in our huge living room with the 9 foot ceilings. The last picture is Mike working on the floor in the kitchen. Well I'm off to do something.TTYL Kathie
