more updates and changes!

so, since my last day off, last tuesday, i have worked over 65 hours. oy, that's a lot.

look at the great tournament we had to raise money for the kids!


and the amazing flowers mike won me in the tourney's raffle!

also, one of my kiddos gave me flowers on the last day of golf lessons :)

in addition to working a whole bunch, we have doing a bit of remodeling at the house.  

i already showed you the kitchen and backyard updates, but here is what we've changed since then...

sun room updates:
our old furniture 
messy transition period
new sun room ready for summer! does this furniture look familiar??
roxy loves it too!
the first piece of furniture [the only one that won't fit in the dining room] from mike's family!

dining room updates:
old set up
new furniture!
kitten loves it
still waiting for the large sideboard and china cabinet... and in the meantime, here's all my baking stuff!

upstairs bedroom updates:
we got all the gross lime green painted over wallpaper off the ex-roommate's walls last night, and boy was it gratifying!
next projects:
- paint the upstairs bedroom any paint color suggestions for this room?
- make my backyard wildflowers grow!
- clean the breezeway

how sweet...

i had to work today and will work tomorrow.  when i got home, all i wanted to do was relax.  mike, on the other hand, wanted to go out and play golf this evening.

look at what he brought me after golf as a, "thanks for letting me play golf" present.

i love surprises!

came home from work today, after a day like this:

to an AMAZING surprise!  leah sent us a present!
seriously, how cool is leah's job?!?  

and oh my gosh, how sweet is all of this?

as you can see, nerf is already a staple in this house, but now we each have a gun! 
 [even though these are all of mike - because i take the pictures - i swear i play with them just as much]

so i obviously had to take a video of the awesome battery-powered gun [and why not have some fun with roxy at the same time?].  don't let roxy fool you, though, she LOVES THOSE DARTS and freaks out if you try to take it away.

THANKS, LEAH!
