Hunting with dad!

We had a great day hunting with Josh today, it felt so nice to be back in the woods. And it was really neat because there was a old cabin in the woods, reminded me of Laura Ingalls house.  

When we came back to the farm we were invited to see the cows and have some hot cocoa. This is what I would call a nice day in the woods. 

Floors finished!

So here it is, after 3 weeks of working on these rooms they are done. And we decided not to stain it because the stain showed everything (adhesive glue, ect.) So we just painted the floors cocoa brown, I wanted them to be dark. They are both the same color, they just look different in the pics because of the lighting. 

Conner got a picture drawn of him the other day at a craft sale for free. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! 

Snow!!

Well the snow hit us last week and I think alot of us were unprepared, even though I kept saying, winter is just around the corner. Well here is our snow pictures. The boys school was cancelled last Monday due to the weather, but they were so excited and had lots of fun at home. 

Last weekend we had a Thanksgiving get together with Joshs family before his grandparents leave for Alabama for the winter. We took some nice family pictures.

Our beautiful Blue Jay friend that we see everyday at breakfast. 

A couple of days before the snow.

Finishing our wood floor and my new pantry

So one day I looked at the boys carpet and said enough is enough, this carpet has to go. So what did I do? I started tearing the carpet out and before you knew it both of the boys carpets were outside in the garbage. I have been putting this off for awhile, so I decided to just get it done. I had no idea how much work was ahead of me. So as you can see this is the floor before sanding, yuck. Then after two weeks of scrubbing and scraping we got it to somewhat look like a wood floor. Then we rented a drum sander and this is what it looks like now in pic number two and three. It still needs alot of work, yes crazy right..... I'm just hoping it will look somewhat descent after we are all done.
 

I finally got my pantry, its wonderful. My friend (who I have known since I was little) her dad made this for me. He does a great job making cabinets and now a pantry. And this is my Christmas present from my dad, very nice. THANK YOU, DAD! Its such a blessing.

I have started organizing my pantry.

This last weekend we got together with some of Joshs family and the boys enjoyed playing with their little cousin. The boys enjoy him and think he is so cute.
