The Winter Months...

We are still here and alive in Winston-Salem, we have just gotten slack about blogging! Here is an update in our lives...we have been renovating, painting, playing in the snow, and baking!

We spent Valentine's Day weekend at the lake with some friends...



Abby, Gracie, and Duke...new friends!

And we played in the snow!



We just had to see how the bowling ball would like the snow...and Gracie had a blast with the pink ball!



We tried to build a snowman but Gracie thought we were making a giant snowball for her to play with!



She loved having snowballs thrown for her...



Will missed shoveling snow in Colorado...



And we have been redoing our kitchen...here are some before and after pictures...







The new kitchen!! Yay! Finally...new floors, no dividing wall between the den and kitchen, new paint color for cabinets (painted by me!), new countertops, new island, and still in the works, new backsplash!



A close up of our new countertops!



Gracie modeling the new den...new love seat, coffee table, carpet, chair, and paint color...now waiting on new curtains!



More redecorating pictures later....here are some baking pictures...





My new favorite things...cupcake pops...



I made Mom mini tote bag cakes for her birthday!!







More pictures to come when we completely finish our kitchen!

More Snow!!

We had a great snow day last week...it started snowing late Monday night and Tuesday we woke up with some fresh powder!



And Gracie was hesitant about the snow, but then realized it tasted good so she enjoyed having me throw it in the air and catching it in her mouth!


She didn't want her picture taken...




Here's our house...



We've also been doing some major house work...involving lots of painting. When we finsih we'll take some pictures!

Demolition Day....or more like week...

Since we have moved back to NC, we have decided to make our house in Winston more like our home...we got really movitivated on New Years Day and started in our kitchen, which looked like this before...



And this...



To this...





And all we have left to do is electric work, pulling up the floor, painting the cabnits, and finding someone to build a new island! Oh my...

And here is the lady who has supervised it all...



More pictures to come as we progress in our project!
