I "HEART" Scrabble Tiles!
I own 3 Scrabble games. Not sure why, but I got sick of seeing all of the individual games, not to mention some of them were missing a couple tiles. So I kept one in it's box, and emptied the rest of the tiles into a canning jar and put them on a shelf in the living room. Why, you ask? Well, just because. And it makes spelling fun for Ambry. And it encourages Piper to want to learn her letters. And just because I wanted to. :) 
And here is another use for them. Here is my view out of one side of my kitchen window. It says "smile" because sometimes I just need to be reminded. And a rock on the other side that Piper painted. On the other window sill--that I didn't take a picture of because my camera suddenly decided to die--is the word "pray" because, again, sometimes I just need to be reminded. Hope you are having a great, sunny April 1st! Labels: Home Remodel 2011, Miscellaneous

Room Updates...
A sign in my room. And some flowers...fake, of course, because I can not seem to keep any thing green alive inside my house. And if you can't read the envelope, that is an early birthday card from Ambry. It has now been sitting there for a month. :) That girl is on top of things I tell you!
Pictures of my kidlets hanging in my bedroom. So sad, but those are the first pictures I have actually hung in my room since we have lived here. We have lived here for over 6 years. I am that undecisive about what to hang. Horrible, but true.
A close up of my lovelies. 
The living room wall. LOVE it! Enough said. 
Now I'm off to paint some more doors. I'm telling you, one of these days I will have a bedroom door again! It has only been a couple of months without one. :)

Remodel continued...
Wow! 2 weeks of self-imposed distance from the internet and there are suddenly over a thousand emails to go through, tons of pictures to edit, and facebook updates galore. Of course, I can do without all the facebook updates, because if I see one more misspelled word, I just might scream. What are the schools doing to kids these days?? Good grief!Our house is coming along nicely though. All of the wood floor is in now and we are waiting on getting doors painted and hung, trim primed, painted, and put back on just in Kobe Dean's room. The girls room is pretty much all done except for pictures hung. The same with our room and the living room. Now it is on to touch ups and cleaning up the huge mess. Super fun! Here are a couple pics of the girls room all finished.
Here is a random pic of the hall way as Caleb was finishing putting the flooring in. I still need to paint the trim around the bathroom door and the window in there. Boo!
I have lots more pics to come! So stay tuned. :)Labels: Home Remodel 2011

The Home Remodel...still :)
Here is the new fireplace all installed. Caleb and his Uncle David made it out of concrete. Awesome!!
Caleb working on getting the hardwood floor installed.
A pic of the fireplace before the tv was installed and the green carpet was still in.
The finished bathroom/laundry room. Ignore the mess of tools on the dryer. They will probably be there for a while until all of the flooring is finished.
The almost finished entry way. The baseboard needs to be finished still. The wood floor will but right up next to the tile when that is all installed.
So happy that I have such an amazing husband who is willing to work so much on the house. Can't wait till it is all done!!Labels: Home Remodel 2011
