REALLY?!

My baby boy turns one tomorrow!

I can't believe it!

Kitchen

A few days before Thanksgiving I was standing at my sink and discovered that the linoleum in my kitchen was bubbled up. I told Kevin this,to which he replied..."uh-oh, That's no good." So we cleaned out the cupboard under our sink and this is what we found:

Plus, when we stepped on the bubbled floor you could hear it squishing with water. We had a leaking faucet that apparently had been leaking for a while. So we called our insurance company to come take a look at it. The next day they came and discovered that it had soaked up under our cabinets as well, and the sub-floor had gotten wet. So that meant......NEW KITCHEN!!! I was a little hesitant at first because I din't want to be out of a kitchen for that long,especially during the best baking time of the year. However,eventually the idea kind of settled in my head and I got VERY excited. Our kitchen was kind of an eye sore, so an upgrade was definately a plus. The guys that worked on it did a great job and we are so happy with how it turned out. Here are some before and after shots.

BEFORE: Awesome 70's style

AFTER: So much nicer

So happy we went with the pergo floors-they are so pretty!

Cam likes the new kitchen,too.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls at Kevin's sister's house. All of his family either lives close to there or was in town (minus his brother who is in Mexico on a mission). We had a fun time and even had a new neice born that weekend!Thanks for letting us crash at your place Kimmy!

Kevin's Birthday

Kevin's Birthday was the day before Thanksgiving this year. We were headed to his sister's house that day, so his celebration was in the morning. He opened his presents in the morning and we left for Idaho Falls shortly after. We got to meet up with some old friends for dinner that night and had a great time with them, then we had some birthday cheesecake that night with some of his family. Happy Birthday Kev!

Trick-or-Treat

Here are the promised pictures from Halloween night.Al three boys ready to roll

Tiger CamCam and Jay trick-or-treat in style

So happy with their loot

Halloween lasts all week long

We had a whole lot of Halloween activities this week. There was the carnival at the school, Tyler's class pary, and our church party/dinner. I think that everybody had fun at all of the parties and of course the boys are so excited to go trick-or-treating tonight. I will post trick-or-treat pictures later. My awesome dessert for the church party. The spiders are chocolate covered brownie bites and they were TASTY. But a bugger to put together.
Carving pumpkins

Don't let these pictures fool you. They were totally staged and I ended up cleaning out the pumpkins. (Kevin won't even do it)

Ty as Spiderman ( I think he missed the memo that it was cool to be Spiderman like THREE years ago. But he thinks he's cool, so we play along.)

Jay as a boxer...I love this look. He is looking pretty tough here.
