Trash Day

Here's all our trash from cleaning up the garage with the flood. And I STILL have MORE sorting to do! :)

Our Flood

After all our rain last weekend, we had about an inch or so of water in our basement. Here's some pictures of our stuff moved so we could clean. If you look carefully, you can see the water on the floor -- the floor looks shiny and waxed, but that's really just the water! :)

Silly Cole!



















Where'd Patches go?















Aunt Noelle messed up Cole's hair!!!

Riding the Animals

Here are some pictures of Cole riding all the "animals" at the Henry Doorly Zoo last weekend! :) Uncle Jon told him to put his hand up like he was riding a bull -- that explains why he looks like he's waving in most of the pictures!

Henry Doorly Zoo

We went to the Henry Doorly Zoo last weekend with Cole and the family. It was a fun trip! Here's some pictures of the animals:

Isn't he cute?

Here's Coop sleeping on HIS bed this morning:

One Step Closer!

We're getting closer to having our kitchen finished! This weekend we put the trim on the countertop. Then, we put up our backsplash tonight. It required some modifications to our light switches, but we got them to work. Now all we have left is to grout the backsplash, trim out the backsplash, and lay the floor! Then, it should be done! :D


Enjoy some pictures of our process:

Look what was in our kitchen!

We took off some of our paneling so we can put our backsplash up....look what we found:





























Here's a picture of our backsplash that we put up (under the windows)

Our latest Purchase

So, we made a new purchase from Lowe's today! I'll give you hints --

This is what it looks like (Jeff isn't too sure about the hot pink!)

Here it is uncovered --

And finally set up! It's patio furniture!

And we have a kitchen sink!

Jeff got the tiles grouted and the kitchen sink installed:

Kinda Finished Countertop

We got the tile put down on the countertop! :) We have to let it set for 2 days or so before we can grout! :) We're still thinking about what to do for the backsplash -- we're toying around with the idea of doing a mosaic backdrop with leftover tiles....not sure how it'd work though!? Hmm...keep thinking about that! :D
