Remodeling!- BEFORE

Talk about major nesting! We finally decided to remodel our house. With the help of my dad we've started on this crazy journey. It all began with a 4 hour shopping spree at Menards! My dad wouldn't let us leave til we had EVERYTHING and we still had to go back AGAIN the next morning. We're putting in new flooring, doors and trim, new roof, fence, replacing some siding, and redoing the main floor bathroom. Don't tell anybody, but we also bought a TV and sectional:) Hee Hee! Can't wait to post the AFTER pics. Below are all the BEFORE.
The BEST part of the whole remodeling project- this is where the DISWASHER WILL BE!!!!! Yippie! (notice all the dirty dishes in the sink... this is a regular occurance and Randy and I always fight about who's turn it is. It's usually always his. )

New entrance flooring coming soon! New walls, too.

This will be the baby's room. Right now it's just full of crap. Carpet is already ripped up- waiting for the new stuff.

Dad trying to install the new tub. No- it's not BLUE, that's just the plastic over the top. We tore out a blue tub.

New pine doors. I can't figure out how to flip these pics, so you'll just have to turn your head!:)

Our lovely kitchen flooring- BEFORE. It shows every spec of dirt and little dog hair! Cannot wait for the new stuff!!!

Christmas!

Bailey at Christmas:)
The kitty dad got Ashley for Christmas. He's pretty much NUTS and she has to put him on time outs at home because he's so naughty! I was at her apartment helping her cook supper and he jumped up on the stove while I was browning hamburger! He also bites and scratches like a vampire!

I wanted to tell my three favorite gals I was expecting in a unique way, so I bought little tiny baby socks and attached a note to them that said "guess who will be wearing these soon!?" Then I wrapped them up in little Christmas bags, one for each of them, and had them all open them at the same time on Christmas Eve. Pretty fun to see the looks on their faces when they all opened them up:)


Grandma Bev, Ashley, Mom, and I.

Ash, Mom, and I (and Bailey in the corner:) (he won't leave my side for very long. We didn't want him in the picture, but he wouldn't move!) on Christmas Eve at my house.

Randy- Hunting

Randy and his friend Jason and their dogs- hunting this fall/winter. I don't have very many pics of Randy on the site, so thought I better add one! Hence, this random pic!

NEW YORK CITY!

New York City! This was taken at the apartment building the "Friends" live in.

Central Park

Time Center Square

The apartment building where "Friends" Rachel, Monica, Joey, and Chandler live. This was the best part of the trip for me!

My mom, sister, grandma, and I visited New York City this January for my mom'

s Birthday. This is a view of the ice skating rink in Central Park.

Halloween!

Me and the my Aber Gals. Fun Stuff!

Halloween! I was a "version" of tinker bell and Randy was a POOP! My brother-in-law (in the background) was Jason, or Freddy...whatever!
