Happy Birthday Elizabeth.......But don't tell anyone

The boys celebrated Molly and Allies lil sisters birthday today at Wonderwild. Surprisingly WW has very strict rules as to how a birthday can be celebrated. I guess it makes sense but we still seems kinda strange.


The boys didn't mind as there were still cupcakes a plenty. Notice cooper licked all the icing off and has saved the cake. He is definitely my child.


Look at this big boy! I swear he looks just like me in this pic! I can even picture a certain elephant smock my mom used to make me wear that you wouldn't be able to tell us apart in.

Campbell's First Trolley Ride

Free entertainment is at a premium in The Woodlands so you do what you can to break up the day. The big boys used to get to ride the trolley all the time but Campbell wasn't a fan of public transportation at Disney so we were worried the trolley was done. Turns out Campbell is a trooper and liked staring out the window just as much as his brothers.

Kitchen Renovation - Complete

 The past three days have been absolutely crazy in our house, but as you can see the kitchen was totally worth it.  We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  Jennifer became a little "reno" machine.  She worked with the installer all the while managing 3 kids.  This included multiple trips to Home Depot / Lowes and basically standing over his shoulder to make sure he did it right.

 We are pretty sure he was ready to be done with our little project, but all that matters is he did a good job.

The problem is that now we have the "reno" bug and got quotes for our bathroom to be re-done as well.  After talking to the contractor through it might be a while before that project gets done. 

Dave Ramsey would be proud because it was very tempting to pull the ole Amex out of the pocket and tell him to get started on the rest of the house.

Campbell is 9 Months Old!

Sweet Baby Campbell is nine months old today!  I can't believe how fast the time has flown by.  On your nine month birthday you are crawling everywhere and pull yourself up all by yourself on everything.  You love to "walk" from the couch to the chair and you cannot leave the drawers on the entertainment center alone!

 We celebrated your "birthday" with a new kitchen.  Day 2 consisted of simply installing the new faucet and putting the design above the stovetop.  Everything is going pretty well.

Here is the design above the stovetop.  Your mommy did such a good job working with the installer to get exactly what she wanted.  Take a long look because your kids will come home to see this design.

The biggest surprise on your birthday was a visit from Mimi.  She came to the rescue and played all day long while Mommy was working on the kitchen.

Kitchen Remodel - Day 1

 As promised here are pics after Day 1 of the Kitchen remodel.  We couldn't be happier with the color of the granite and how easy the installation went.  The guys got here about 9:30 this morning and were done by about 4.  Jennifer said it was pretty loud while they were cutting, but Campbell was able to take his afternoon nap right through all the commotion.

 I am super pumped about the undermount sink and new faucet that will be installed tomorrow.  The plumber/slash tile guy is coming tomorrow to install the backsplash and hook up the appliances.

 We look forward to many a holiday celebration in our brand new kitchen.

I will post pics tomorrow after the backsplash is in.
