Play date tornado!

This is the aftermath of Dylan's play date!  I think I'm going to have to put away the toys with small pieces!!!  In fact...  I may have to put all the toys high high up where they'll have to ask for help AND permission.

Cooking up a storm.

I am loving having a normal size kitchen again!!  And thanks to Minah and the cooking class she treated me to last weekend...  I am inspired.

Here are the pork short ribs.  YUM!  Tonight I tried them with beef short ribs...  Success is to be determined...

Drunken noodles.  Pretty easy and tasty.

Salted caramel protein balls.

Turkey meatballs with oats, ground flax, and spinach.

Lemongrass...  Minced and ready to freeze for future use.

Sunny weekend!

Boat ride with friends...  So much fun!

Peer pressure...  Dylan is not afraid of going fast anymore.

Goofy.

What a fun Sunday!

Miscellaneous things.

House is really almost done now. Carpet tiles are going in!

Dylan being silly. She has been changing outfits every few hours.  She definitely likes having her stuff back.

Funny face.

Real face.

Never ending remodel.

We've moved in but the work continues.  Here is the garage door being installed.

Our driveway on a good day - packed with workers. This is what a like to see. Most dreaded sight during our remodel:  empty driveway, empty house.

Piecing together our FLOR ready rug for the dining room.

Custom built unit around our washer and dryer. In process. I need this to hurry up as I have 2 nights of potty accident sheets to be washed. On a side note...  Just as I give away all the extra pull ups since Dylan hasn't had an accident in months...  The very day I get rid of them...  Pee pee accident.

Glass for master shower is finally in. First try didn't go well. The glass was cut incorrectly.

Just when I think I can finally take a real shower...Marty notices 2 tiles without grout. One more day...

Unpacking for the next year or so.

Goodbye "waiting house"!

Goodbye 400 sq ft studio!  I'll miss the short commute but won't miss the ants or the hot, stuffy, 1 room studio.

This is the main room/bedroom.

Here was our closet/laundry room/hallway to the bathroom.

And our kitchen.

This was a great place to live while in interim but 7 months was way too long!!

Ice Cream with Friends.

Does life get better than this?  I think not!

New dress and wig.

Dylan is obsessed with her new Elsa dress and wig!

Weekend at Black Butte.

We met the Hopkins at Black Butte to celebrate John's birthday.

Popsicles in the morning!  Summer weekends are the best!

Swimming!

Best friends.

Love these girls!

Feeding the fish at Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery.

4 year old attitude!  I can't wait for the teenage years!

Feeding the chipmunks.

Making John's birthday cake!!
