Helpers

Saturday, August 30, 2008
It's been a busy weekend so far. Ben's brother and his family are visiting us, and I was also hired to make 4 dozen cupcakes for a birthday party. I learned that the nephews are BIG helpers and always want to help in the kitchen. I gave them the job of official frosting taste testers. Needless to say, they've been running around on sugar highs for most of the weekend (see pictures below...)

This almost looks like frosting karaoke...























Really, I'm just trying to cement myself as favorite aunt... I have LOTS of competition...

Thanks Mom!

It's been a while, but as you'll soon see, we've been busy.

At the beginning of August, My Mom came to visit for a full week, and my Mom LOVES a good project. The result of her hard work (with some help from Ben and I) can be seen in the pictures below. Enjoy!





































































Here are also a few pictures of the Kitchen. We decided that the green didn't match the color of the countertop, and since we're not ready to replace that yet, we painted over it with brown...




































































And one final pic of Tucker enjoying the new room...



























I'm not sure which he enjoys more- the carpet, the ceiling fan, or the fact that he can lay on his back and still see out the window...
