Addison Ann

We went to Devils Lake this last weekend to see our new little Niece. Christopher's sister had little Addison Ann on January 21st, she was 6 lbs and 18 inches long. She is such a little peanut! Jace loved his new little cousin.







He had to touch, hug and kiss, hold and even read stories to her!

Fun in the Snow

Jace's Birthday Party

We had a small birthday party for Jace last Saturday.

He wanted a treasure chest party with pirates and gold!

Here are all the little pirates!

So excited to open presents

Jace trying to get the M&M's open

Jace wanted to snuggle up and hug Bodin...Bodin didn't want any part in it!

I think Bodin was going to get him :)

Visit from Papa

My dad came here over New Years for a few days. Jace had lots of fun with his Papa and was so excited he got to stay at our new house!

My dad bought Jace a Smart Cycle...this bike is GREAT!! Jace loves it and he does very well at it too. He has caught on to all the games and now wins first place in the race. After one game of really peddling he takes a rest, it is a lot of exercise!

Concentrating

Jace got a new guitar too. They are going to start their own Rock band!

They rock and rolled but I think need a little more practice! It was quite noisy in our house!

Laughing, he thought is was funny

Time to take a break!

Pictures of our House

Ok here are all the pictures you have been waiting for!!!

Our new Home

I wish it would still look this green! The snow is all the way up the basement windows now.

The Kitchen

This was our big project....see the saufet above the cabinets? It had a huge overhang with can lights that we tore down, now it is open above. My dad is coming in March to re-do the cabinets! I am so excited we are going with a much lighter wood to really brighten it up.

The Dining Room

Our Living Room

This was the upstairs bathroom. This is my favorite transformation!! We peeled all the psychedelic blue plaid wallpaper off, textured, primed and painted it.

Jace's Bedroom

He picked out his own paint color, he wanted a dark brown room

Our Bedroom

This is the downstairs sitting area.

We got rid of the cow boarder and changed it to a wildlife/hunting one.

This is the little kitchen downstairs. The lady that lived here before did alot of canning and entertaining so the mess would not be upstairs. I think we will leave it for now. This is also a possible 4th bedroom if needed.

This is the laundry room/play room.

We have not done anything to this area. Right now we are using it as a toy room, Jace loves to play down here because his cars really move on this floor. Someday we will make this area into another bedroom.

This was the bathroom downstairs We did a little demo work and the finished results............

Still in progress!

We got a jetted bathtub for Christmas and hopefully we can get it installed soon!!!!
