Oh the Joys and PAIN of remodeling.


Here is my gross carpet and my cute kids. Jett saw Poppy carrying a knife when Poppy and Lisa were here for Jetts birthday and ever since then Jett wants to wear a knife around his waist. So cute!

Here is the tile..we did a hopscotch pattern. I saw it in my moms neighbors house(so cute) and I decided I had to have it!


Jaiden going to town on her yogurt

Kitchen all ripped out.



Me being bored taking pics of myself. Josie, what are you doing?? I painted over this red wall though with a different red. But you get the idea. Yes I painted EVERY single wall in this house myself. Still have the Master Bedroom and bathroom left to do. And the laundry room booo!


Here is my fridge and stove in the living room..that was HARD to live like that.



Learning to go up and down the stairs before we tile them.


YAY tile laid in the living room and kitchen!! WAHOO, didn't have my kitchen for about a week. I hated it. I love to cook all three meals for my kids and husband so this was really hard for me. I despised fast food after about two days.


Theres Jim, I LOVE him! And I am pretty sure Jon has 'Man Crush' on him. He is AmAzInG! He is our tile guy but he has also turned into my handy man:) Let me explain a little, Jon can go and sell over a million dollars in Golds Gym memberships a year but he can not do a lot around the house..well Jon has impressed me during this remodel..but Jim has fixed SO many things around my house that I have needed help with. I keep begging him to move in the basement until its finished, his wife may not like that but I would. ;) Jim can do it all, he is an impressive person.



See there is my red wall with the darker color..can you tell the difference?
Well our house is coming along. We have gotten down the hall, guest bathroom and Jetts room done. This weekend we will do Jaidens room and next weekend our room and then take a vacation!! I have lots more pictures to post. I am busy with the house and kids so it may take awhile.
PS my facebook got hacked in to during this time and my computer got a bug. So I deleted my facebook and made my blog private..too scary!

Love it! It seriously looks so good. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been living without a kitchen to cook in... especially with kids! Yikes! So glad that was you and not me(hehehe)just kidding. I'm sure it's been worth it!;)

That bites that someone hacked into your facebook... scary, scary!

P.S. Just out of curiousity, what does your husband do for a living? Every so often you mention him and his job, but I have no idea what he does... just wondering. :)

Jaimie, I love it! And it probably feels SO good to have a change! I can come help paint, maybe it will help put me into labor. I also understand the handyman thing, Keola is useless in that department, I think it has something to do with golds, haha! :)

Painting is nice, once it's DONE! You're almost there! I am in love with the dark red wall. So fabulous!
Sorry about the computer hacker. People can be so terrible.
Good luck with the rest of the painting and DEFINITELY take a vacation!
