Weekend with Kids


November 18th & 19th

We had a great opportunity to hang out with our niece and nephews for a few days!

Friday, we started the night with dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory
and then back to our house for a dance party!!

Adam has this HUGE sub woofer that makes awesome base! So we turned up the music and danced until we decided it was getting too late to have the music blaring, we don't want to make any of our neighbors mad! So then we played hide-and-go-seek! Always a favorite at our house!









Adam decided to tie up Jonah and Noah together and send a picture to their parents to let them know we had everything under control! ;)






Back to dancing!

 Trying to take me down!



We also made homemade chocolate chip cookies, as if the kids were not already hyped up! Ha ha!








They were sure yummy!!





Ready for bed and movie! These kids had never seen The Christmas Story until now!


Saturday morning started with hot chocolate & breakfast at IHOP




Driving around!

Next stop...Laser Quest for some awesome laser tag!!!


Zoe waiting for our pizza from Papa Murphy's!


Jonah fell asleep while waiting for Adam and Noah!


We stopped off at Hobby Lobby and picked up a few supplies for the boys and girls!


The boys got this AWESOME Catapult and items to make sling shot guns!


Zoe & I got some card making supplies and made Christmas Cards!


Making the guns!



Noah's all complete


I don't think Adam was very excited about his gun! ;)


The catapult!


Making sure everything works!


It was pretty cold outside, so I let me throw mini marshmellos at each other in the house!


Ready...aim....fire!


A few hours later we took them home and our weekend was over! 
But we had a lot of fun and hope to do this with the kids again.

We were watching you tube videos! Great entertainment for sure!


The other day I was looking at my blog and noticed I NEVER put the after pictures of our kitchen! I know it has been awhile...but here are the before and after!





Man...I do not miss this checker floor what so ever!!




Ta Da!!!



Dark brown cabinets made by my uncle, installed by Adam & his brother Chris!
Quarts stone counter tops all the way up the back splash! (Can I tell you this is the best thing ever!! Easy to clean and NO grout! We will be doing this again in our next home!)


New table, fits 4 at normal size, but extends to hold up to 10 people! Dinner parties coming soon!






There are a still minor things we need to do, but it has been so NICE to finally have a really nice working kitchen! Thanks babe for all of your hard work, it really paid off!


We also FINALLY put pictures up in our front room and got a new brown leather couch last May and it arrived last Christmas! At that same time, we purchased a round ottoman, long story short, it should be here anytime!! Hopefully before Thanksgiving!







These are all pictures we have taken ourselves  over the last 9 years of our lives together! They all tell a story about all the places we have been and all the wonderful times we have had together!
