Weekend Project

What started as a weekend project has now turned into a 'couple of weekends' project. We've decided to take on updating the cabin's bathroom. Nate finished the basement, so we were fairly confident we could get it done. But, we hit a couple road blocks. Looking back, we should have realized we would. The house was built a VERY long time ago and very badly needed fixing. After the weekend is done though, we made very good progress. We'll be back up there next weekend to put the dock in, so hopefully we have time for some mud/taping too.

The bathroom before:

Door installed upside down (and of course you can hear through it...)

Demo-Is this a window that had paneling covering it? You bet it is..End of weekend:

All of the walls are up including new tub surround. Left to do is install the new light (we couldn't find the fuse that controlled this light) and mud/tape and new floors. Not bad for a weekend project!

A real door!!!

Twin's Home Opener

We all dressed up for the big night. Even though they lost, it was still exciting to watch the first game of the season. Here are the boys in their gear.

Go TWINS!

Daniel's Birthday Party

Daniel had a great birthday party. He's very lucky to have as many people that love him as he does. Daniel loves Go Deigo Go (the boy version of Dora the Explorer) so we had that as his theme. He got a ton of great presents. We didn't get pictures of all of them. He got a Diego Rescue Pack, some cool boots, a hat, bat and balls, basketball hoop, neat kid's CDs and fun jammies-along with the fishing pole and tackle box daddy got him!

Here are the Diego and Baby Jaquar cupcakes that I made for dessert. We put 2 candles in Daniel's Diego cupcake!

Here are the two little charmers - Will and Brooklyn.

The whole gang that celebrated! Thank you all for coming.

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Can you believe it went this fast? I can't believe our little boy is the big 2 today. He's been saying 'Happy Birthday' for the last couple of days, it's really cute. It's usually Happy Birthday to mommy or daddy or monkey, but it's still cute :)

On Monday night, he decided he wanted to sleep in his new room with his 'big' boy bed! He grabbed his blankets and monkey off his other bed and brought them into his new room. I was shocked! So, we pushed his bed against the wall and put the mattress on it (it only had a boxspring). Then he wanted all the books in his new room. So, we've been 2 nights in there! The first night he woke up at 5am and wouldn't go back to sleep, but last night was good. I never thought the transition would go this easy!

Have a great day Daniel! We love you!
