We officially started remodeling our basement. My brother-in-law, Tony came over on a full day Sat and Sun to help Kory out. They two guys tore apart all the walls in our basement and then Tony built us a few new walls.

To the left is our utility/laundry toom which remains unchanged, to the right is the old spare bedroom which is now smaller and lacking a wall right now :) |

Kory is working on electrical soon and then comes plumbing (for our new bathroom! YAY!!!) and then drywall. I can't wait to have the new space. It's going to be awesome. I really really really wanted to say thanks to Tony for all his help. And thanks to Kacey for letting us borrow Tony for an entire weekend :)

I kept Em busy while the boys were working downstairs. She loves her root beer! Thankfully the weather was totally awesome and we played outside a lot. |
Just last week I had to travel to Harrogate, England for work and stayed at the most beautiful hotel. I had to take some pictures. It was at a 300 acre golf course resort...just amazing!

My bathroom had heated floor, heated towel rack, a awesome stand-up shower with a rain faucet and a super nice tub too. |
This past Saturday we had Mikaiya's birthday party. Hard to believe she is already 6 years old. I remember the day Cori called and said "Are you ready to be an Auntie???". I was like NO WAY! Mikaiya was born 4 weeks early, but thankfully she was healthy as can be! Love you Mikaiya!!

The three little girls. So cute! |
Emily got sent home from school today with pink eye. So in our boredom, I painted her fingers and toes all different colors. She loved it!!
