"Where have I been lately?" Well, I guess you could say, "a little busy." About 9 months ago, we noticed our kitchen floor starting to bubble and pop up, well we realized that our fridge had been slowly leaking and the floor was getting warped. Well finally, we are getting around to repairing it. And we have lived here for about 4 years, so of course, I want to kind of change things up. I guess nothing can be done simple...right? So, I have been busy, priming, painting, ripping up floor, keeping kids out of the kitchen/family room, living with my fridge in the office, no stove, eating out, living with dust EVERYWHERE, and just really wishing this doesn't take to long. Collin on the other hand has been, ripping up floor, laying sub floor, laying flooring, working, dealing with me, dealing with our patient kids, and did I mention dealing with me? We both have had our hands full for the last few days. We are both excited so far on how everything is turning out, I love the paint and I love the floor. So we will update soon, hopefully everything will be done sooner than later.
And a big hooray goes out to all of our help...we have been so thankful for it. Randall, Jason, Charlie, Cam, Justin...you rock!! And the Lou thanks for the pizza, milkshakes, and babysitting. And how could I forget the fan...it has kept Peiton asleep through all the banging..jpg)
A glimpse of the water damage. Luckily it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.

Starting the painting...ohhh, how miserable. This was the hardest stuff to paint. Thank goodness it was worth it, because I will never use it again.
The floor is a comin' in!
Randall!
Charlie!
Jason and Collin!
