How I Did It...

You ask how I did this...

I would like to take all of the credit and say I figured it all out on my own but I didn't.  I found this really fun blog of a lady that is a designer, but likes to do everything for a good deal.  She had recently re-done her kitchen and I loved it.  I really wanted to do it the same color as hers but I thought it would be to washed out because we have so many light colors with the walls, counters and back splash.  That is way I went with black, which I think turned out great.  I will be honest I was a little nervous at first.  But it worked out in the end because I love it.

She can tell you how to do it WAY better then I could.  Her blog is http://sassystyleredesign.blogspot.com.

The following link will take you right to her post on re-doing her cabinets.

Labor Day

Normally Labor Day is a day of rest from labor.  Not at our house.  I put us to work.  

I have been wanting to give our kitchen a facelift but there is no money to do anything major.  So, I decided to go out and get a can of paint and get to work.

I am really happy with the results. What do you think?

It is getting a lot more difficult to take pictures of Samantha by her doll.  She wont sit still.

This is as good as it gets.

Sammy didn't like the pony ride very much.  She had to get off half way through because she was screaming.

95 And Counting...

This post is mainly for Colby's parents that are in Australia. 

We had a Birthday Party for Colby's Grandpa on Saturday to celebrate his 95th birthday.
It was a very exciting and eventful party, that I think we all will remember.  

Here are a few pictures of the party.
