Back to the 1920's

Scott's coworker hosted a speakeasy 1920's party. We got all dolled up and spent the night playing black jack, poker, bingo, and slots. It was a great time! Scott had the second most chips at the end of the night!

Brewer Game

 We have the awesome friends that also like to go to the Brewer game and have a rockin good time! It was fun although they lost. Some highlights of the night inside the ballpark homerun, good fellowship, and Soblemans burgers!

Easter

He is Risen!!! We celebrated Easter going to church and having dinner with mom and dad and some of the family. Rory was not being cooperative with the picture taking. She was very distracted with the neighbors. Happy belated Easter!

Ripping out Flooring

Prepping the floors, for our soon to be installed hard wood flooring, involved ripping out our the first layer of sub flooring. Thank you to all our hard workers that day Dad, Mom, Emily, Tony, Laura, Kevin and Nancy. The boys did most of the hard lifting while the girls cleaned up after the boys did the destruction. Mom was in her element by tending the fire. We finally burned the many trees we cut down in the fall. Soctt's parents arrived later in the day and cleaned out some of the many flower beds that need tending to. All in all it was a great work day!

Our Godson

Kevin and Maria asked us to be the Godparents to their little bundle of joy. We are overjoyed and proud to have a Godson. Benjamin Reuel (Rule) born Monday February 27th, at 3:47pm 7lbs. 2oz. 20in.
We are ecstatic and so happy for Kevin and Maria. Thank you for letting us be part of your son's life!

Weekend Updates

This weekend Scott and I finally had the ambition to finish painting the last room (ok maybe not the last room) in the house... the dreaded kitchen. We first had to remove the wall paper, which took forever. Saturday was spent removing the last bit of wallpaper and prepping for painting.

Here are the finished pictures after a lot of sweat and elbow grease. You can still see the green border painted on the cabinets... Not such a fan, but it will do until we can re-do the kitchen in a few years...

Our first Craiglist purchase. A beautiful fireplace screen! It is absolutely amazing! In other house news... we have ordered ALL the hardwood for ALL of our floors. We will be very busy these next coming months taking out the first layer of sub flooring and putting in the hardwood that should be here middle of March.
