Here's some pictures of one bathroom in our new home. Its kinda challenging to take pictures of a small space but I think you get the idea. We chose the same cabinets in the kitchen. The tile was donated by my wonderful in-laws and installed by us. It was left over from their home and I think it matches perfectly! I found the mirror for a cheap price at Wal-Mart. Can't go wrong there. I also love the sink. It's a one piece and very easy to clean.
We made a quick trip to Idaho. I must confess that I haven't been very good, lately, at taking pictures. I pulled out my camera at the last minute. Here's the results. Those darn kids need to quit growing. Brooklyn and Jordan are taller than me and Allyson is getting way too close.
Christmas day we decided to surprise the girls. I packed up their clothes without them knowing and we took at drive. The suspense was killing them but the wait was worth it. We took them to Fairmont Hot springs (by Butte) where we stayed overnight and they swam until their little hearts were content. It took some persuasion to get them to go down the water slide but after one try they were hooked. All they kept saying was "Thanks mom and dad". I think it was they're favorite present. It was good quality family time!
1. You warm up your car for 10 minutes and when you get in it's still cold.
2. The kids are kept inside for the entire week from school recess.
3. You walk outside and your nose hairs immediately freeze up and it's hard to breathe.
4. You have frost build up on the INSIDE of your windows.
5. The high is negative fifteen degrees!!!!
Gotta love Montana weather!
I absolutely love my kitchen. It was a challenge picking out the colors but I'm pleased the way it all came together. I wasn't interested in the color of the cabinets. I thought the chocolate brown was too dark. Brenden actually talked me into it. We paid extra money for our gas stove and now that I have cooked on it, I wouldn't have it any other way. We, of course, did the travertine tile ourselves. Brenden picked it out as well. Sometimes he's better at picking things out than I am. I still have to get some bar stools but they will have to come in time. The view out the glass doors is beautiful but it was dark when I took these so I'll have to get you those later. We got a killer deal on the appliances, so I able able to get my stainless steel.

I get a little overwhelmed thinking about cleaning the entire house so I can post pictures on my blog. Well I had a fantastic idea. I will show you one room at a time. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't get around to it. We still have a ton of boxes to put away but it's livable. I've even managed to put out some Christmas decorations. Without further delay, here's the living room...........
Ashlynd had her birthday on the 29th of November. I wasn't a very good mom, so I don't have very many pictures. She got a cell phone, easy bake oven, DS game and other fun things. She even made her own birthday cake with her new oven so if your looking to get her items for Christmas, I have some good ideas (hint, hint). She's such a joy to have in our home. Love ya Ash!
