The Unveiling of the Remodel
BEFORE
PHASE I
PHASE II
THEN.....TA...DA!!!!
We are so pleased with the new look! It's like having a new room in the house! I can watch the TV and Brooklyn as I cook (and don't worry, I don't burn the food). It's going to be great for entertaining too! We used Precision Builders in NLR and they were absolutely fantastic! What we paid for this beautiful transformation was unbelievably lower than we had expected. So, the wait is over. The process from start to finish took about a week and a half with the longest portion of that being waiting for the granite countertop for the bar to be cut and finished.
Brooklyn Rose turns 2!!
No matter how old Brooklyn gets, she's still our first child so everything with her will seem bigger and better!! We hosted a backyard birthday party for Brooklyn with close to 60 people in attendance on her birthday. The kids were able to jump themselves silly in the bounce house, dance to Yo Gabba Gabba tunes, and eat as much pizza and cupcakes as they could stand. Of course, I took lots of pics so it was hard to narrow it down to just a few for my blog but here they are:
Mommy and Daddy celebrate Brooklyn's bday (alone...lol)
I know that seems like a strange subtitle but I think it's important that parents celebrate making it through another successful year of parenting especially when your child is healthy and happy! So, we stepped out alone later that evening and contributed to a good cause all rolled into one great evening out :-)
Let's just see what happens...
I'm not saying Brook has to join my sorority but we'll just see how it goes... :-)
Wife and Mother...the next Generation
So, I'm sitting in Brooklyn's room while she's playing with her toys and decided to take some random pictures of her at play. It's amazing how they pick up on things they see and then convey them in their play (lil ones that is) One thing I want to note on these pics is the black oven mitt you'll see on Brook's hand while she's serving tea at a tea party she hosted for a few of her dogs. She insisted that the tea was hot so she left me and the dogs in the room alone while she walked over to "mommy's kitchen" and found my oven mitt and brought it back to the tea party to serve with...lol!
First Trip to the Wonder Place
I've been trying to find fun activities for us to do as a family on the weekends now that Brooklyn can enjoy herself too so, we decided to see what the hype of this place was all about. I can safely say that I was not in wonder of this place especially after paying almost $20 bucks for us to get in! Nevertheless, Brooklyn loved it! Guess that's all that matters...lol! If you notice in one pic, Kelvin doesn't seem all that impressed either!
