Summer!

Summer has begun and we are having a great one! It is too overwhelming to think about all the posts I should have done in the last year. So I will just think back over the past couple months. We started summer off with a trip to St. George with friends. We did lots of fun stuff from hiking, swimming, going to the park, splash pad, boys going golfing, and lots of delicious food! Here are a few pics from the trip. Thank goodness Jackie remembered her camera!

Wow! I don't know how Hudson let Mike and Kade get in front of him. If Jackie hadn't gotten a picture of this I never would of believed it.

We made it!

Show us your muscles!

We have been working for about a year on remodeling our kitchen and it is almost done. We started with hiring someone to lay tile for us last August. Then Mike sanded down every cabinet in our kitchen and after many trips to Home Depot we found a stain we loved. He also added crown molding. Then Mike changed out the fixtures, we bought a new microwave, and dishwasher. Then we could finally afford new countertops. We have just a few more things we would like to do which are a new stove, backsplash and a new surface for our desk. I absolutely love it and still can't believe it is my kitchen! Just a little more patience and I will have it exactly how I want it. Here are a few picture we took along the way.

I have dreamed of new carpet for years. It is amazing!

I absolutely love our new kitchen!

I have lost my patience for putting anymore pictures on the blog but Kade and I had a ton of fun in Ohio visiting my family. We also had a great trip to Colorado for the 4th of July. Maybe I will post some pictures of our Ohio and Colorado trips in the next year.
