Spring, Renos & Steps

Its Spring. Right? Supposedly... although currently its snowing outside... again...

I think Owen is looking forward to Spring, he probably remembers last year playing outside on the deck at this time of year. So for the past few days he has been lining his toys up outside the patio door. He says they are ready for blast-off. Blasting the snow away? We wish...  

I love his imagination! 

The poor cowboy in his loin cloth, apparently Owen felt sorry for him too because that was the one that got to come in for the night.... 

I love boys. I'm not used to boys, grew up with 3 sisters. But I'm learning about them and I love Owen's imagination. This morning he made a sword out of mega blocks. Where does he learn about this stuff?

We are renovating our kitchen! So excited its been a long time coming. Our cabinets are ordered and should be in within the next week. We are currently prepping and ripping down our old ones, installing new lights, painting. I love my red walls but I decided I should go more neutral since we are hoping to sell one day. As you can see its hard to work with two kiddos around... 

Guess who took her first steps yesterday? Miss Emma!

And today she turned 10 months!

a visit

We spent a few days at my parents this week because of March break. All the sisters were supposed to gather with our kids there but we got a snow storm so it was just Carrie and I with our kids for 2 days (we planned on sleeping over whereas the others were just coming for the day). We had a nice time together!

first time in a swing! (poor Emma most of her life has been through this brutal winter!)

 Tuesday was beautiful out and we spent some time outside. Then Wednesday came and another snowstorm hit. When will this winter end?

reading time with Grandma!
