The Great Project of '07 that has run into '08

O.K. so the Kitchen in our 1950's Craftsman home has seen its fair share of semi updates, but we thought it was time for a complete overhaul. The old oven actually spit a ball of fire at the repair man. We unplugged it. It has needed a good remodle  for a  while but the straw broke when the dishwasher completely died. We are not sure who put the dishwasher in but since there was two layers of particle board and linoleum put down on the floors. Raising the height of the floor and making it impossible to remove the dishwasher with out taking out the floor or the counters. We decided to do both. Ripping out the cabinets was fun but poor Aaron spent 2 days taking out all the layers of flooring. Well we redid the floors and the walls made the doorway twice as big and made a passthrough. The cabinets are in and best of all the sink is working (hurray! Try living a month with out a kitchen sink and you will know what I mean.) We also have a new dishwasher and an oven that works. I am not a great designer but I think it is looking pretty good. As soon as the windows get trimmed (this week hopefully) I will take some new pictures and get them posted. So far I am happy with all the hard work. 

October Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to Bishops Pumpkin Patch in October 2007. It was a ton of fun. I love being able to spend so much time with them. Jared's favorite was feeding the goats. He later drew the cutest picture of him feeding two goats and his caption for the picture was "One goat hit me with his head, was he trying to tell me something?" He is so sweet. Dallin's favorite was the piglet race, four little pigs raced to get an Oreo Cookie. He thought that was so silly. Shane just liked that we let him run around. Next year if we do it again we will have to go earlier in the season the pumpkin patch had pretty slim pickins but we managed. All in all it was a very fun day.
