New Camera!

I got a new camera for my birthday from my BF.  4 yo DD also got a new John Deere hat!  These pictures were taken June 20th.
 14 yo DS.

Surgery!

I will refrain from posting his leg!  But he cut it open pretty bad and had to have surgery to stitch his leg back up!  He was a real tropper and never cried not once!  
Here it is all stitched up!  He still has quite the scar!

Playing in the pond!

We went swimming in a friend's pond! 




 My mom's neighbor gave me this handmade quilt (that she made years ago) because she really had no where to put it.  I LOVE handmade quilts!!  I put it across the cedar chest at the foot of my bed.

11 year old's Birthday!

My youngest boy turned 11 years old on May 22nd!  Phew!  I am WAY behind on blogging so I am doing a LOT of catching up!  

 4 yo DD is getting so big!
 14 year old (Well, he was 13 in this picture.)
 8 yo DD!



Tilling the Garden!

This is 17 yo tilling up the garden and getting it ready to be planted.


All of the Cabinet!

I got 8 new lights and a ceiling fan in the kitchen!  The best part is that I got TWO stoves!  Oh, what a blessing that has been since canning season has started!! 
 16 yo helping the contractor set the upper cabinets!
 I also had electrical outlets install above the upper cabinets so that I could put decorations on top of them and not have to string light cords down.  I have 11 outlets in my kitchen as well!




Setting the new Cabinets!

I got 18 new cabinets!




The new floor!

The flooring for the dining room and kitchen!


Working on the Kitchen!

We fit most of the kitchen in this dumpster!  We burned what we could in a BIG pile in the backyard!
 Putting the new ceiling in with new can lights!

 I put in a new front door too!
 The kids working with the contractors!  The contractors were VERY patient about working with them!

Remodeling the Kitchen!

A LOT has happened since I last updated my blog.  I remodeled my kitchen this past spring!  
This part of the kitchen sitting on the front lawn!
Here is 11 and 17 yo tearing out the dining room carpet.
 11 yo helping to tear out one of the walls.

 Ahhh!!  The empty kitchen!!
