Kitchen update

After a couple days of painting and a couple days of crown moulding, here's what our kitchen looks like now. We wish we would've done this years ago. We think it looks so much nicer with fresh paint and really think the crown moulding adds alot. Yeah, we usually get carried away when we remodel and always add extra projects. Or, as Jeremy will say, I add extra projects that usually require more work from him. Well, we were able to borrow a finish nailer from our friends, which made that project ALOT easier. So, what do you think? Yep, that's red and we love it!


Tyler helped by plugging in the nailer to the compressor. :)Now we just have some new decorations to put up, stay tuned for more pictures on that. And we're still working on wall #2 in the living room. 3 days until our party...and the decorating deadline.

Santa

I don't know if many of you remember, but when you came to Tyler's birthday party you passed an old log cabin that's in old town St. Peters. Well, the city called the elfs and had Santa make a special visit for a couple hours so Tyler and other kids could meet Santa. Here's how the meeting went.
He was much happier with just the candy cane (in the wrapper) on the way back home.

Hugs, Kisses, and Cars

We've started playing with a lot of new toys this week. We're finally big enough to sit at the table and "color".We also like to drink our milk at the table and play with our baby.This is our baby. It's actually a dog that helps him learn body parts. This past week he started carrying him around and giving him hugs and "kisses". (Which is an open mouthed kiss, very cute!)
And his legs are long enough now to reach both sides of his car so he can now move around the house...the turning radius isn't great, so he runs into alot of things, but still has a ball!


We took these a couple weeks ago when it wasn't quite so cold. Tyler loves playing outside and exploring everything in the backyard.

The Tree

Our little santa!
Tyler was a big help this year putting the Christmas tree up. He liked trying to put he branches on, untangling the lights with daddy and playing with the bead garland. We've had the tree up for several weeks now and between the cat and Tyler, all the ornaments are covering the top half only.

Crazy cousins

We went to see Jeremy's family for Thanksgiving and Tyler had a ball (literally) playing with his older cousins and being a "big boy". Our nephews are 2 and 6 and at first Tyler's not quite sure what to think of them when they are running around and playing, but after awhile he joins right in.
Good thing Grandma had enough balls to go around. For about 15 minutes they all just played in the living room throwing all the different balls around, it was complete chaos.
Then they moved onto raiding Grandma's kitchen of all her pots and pans. Thanks to Tyler opening all the cabinets, because of course, there are not child proof locks and how cool is that!And of course, here's our future drummer being taught by the master himself. Cousin Keagan got these for his birthday and Tyler loves them! Guess we know what he's getting when he turns 2!Our lovely hosts for Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for all the great food.Here's my cake pop tree! I made pumpkin spice cake pops for one of our many desserts! There were yummy
