I decided to try a recipe from pinterest this week to give to the sisters I visit teach. It was way too rich for me. The bottom layer is chocolate chip cookie, then a reece's pb cup and then brownie.

There are several splash pads around Utah and we tried out our first one with our play group friends last week. Addy had a lot of fun. Brayden spent most of his time checking out the grass.
Brayden is getting pretty good at putting little puffs into his mouth....sometimes he misses:)
I tried out a no-sew roman shade tutorial from pinterest at few months ago, but I have never really been very happy with the results or the fabric I chose, so I decided to make some new basic curtains from some cute fabric I found.
Matt and I painted our kitchen cabinets back in February, but I didn't want to post pictures until the kitchen seemed complete. Now that I have my curtains up and my chairs, I think it's good for now. It took us about a month to get everything done. The only time we had to work on it was after the kids went to bed and then everyone got sick and so I ended up doing most of the painting myself. IT TOOK FOREVER! So here are the before and after pictures.
Before
After
I saw this cute idea on pinterest, so I copied. I antiqued the door and I'm sort of wishing I didn't because now the door just looks dirty. I may have to do it again.
Some of the changes we made to the kitchen other than painting were:
* We added crown molding
* Added bead board on sides of cabinets as well as around the island/ bar. Matt did a good job didn't he!
* Added hardware to doors and drawer pulls to drawers
I attempted to make a shade cover using this tutorial. This is my new favorite blog. I love her style!

Addy and Brayden gave Matt and Candy bar card for father's day. Brayden isn't in the picture because he was sleeping.

The kids and the kitchen look great! I love what you did to the cabinets too. I saw it on Pinterest and showed it to Mike and Mom and neither one of them liked it! I can't understand how they think the original was better than the after. Maybe we'll be able to see the kitchen in person sometime in 2012! Wouldn't that be great!
I LOVE your cabinets!!! I love bead board. I have been begging Gary for years to put some up for me. : ) I guess your kitchen re-do just makes it more real - I need you. I need you to decorate my house.
You've done a great job!!!!!!!!!!!
P.s. Addy's swimsuit ruffles are the best.
Your kitchen looks so great! and I am super impressed with your chair making skills.
