Basement Remodel

Knotty Pine walls (this was what the basement walls were finished in) of course this was hot in the 70's.

Daddy's little helper

Boston loves to help Ben work on our basement or should I say our 3 year money pit. Our house was built in the 1940's and the basement looked something off "That 70's show," really, even down to the shower in an odd place. To say the least it was disgusting.
This picture was taken about four months ago before the real work began. With the help of our friends, thanks Darin and Peach, we had to jack hammer the concrete, take down old cast iron pipes (you would be grossed out to see what was petrified in them), move drains into the joists and lay new ones in the ground. It was a process, but Boston managed to help out as much as she could.

Ben's new baby

This is Ben's new bike. Well, not so new he go it in May. His excuse to get it was to save gas, but I really knew he was feeling like he needed some type of thrill (after all he did have baby #2 on the way) and should I mention he told me it was "such a good deal." However, that good deal ended up costing us about a $1,000 extra just to get him the stuff to actually be legal to ride it. I guess that is the car salesmen in him.

Hammers, Music, and Dresses

Sorry, I am not so good at adding in pictures yet, so you are going to have to tilt your head to the side a little. Among the many other gifts, Boston got a few princess dresses because what girl is complete if she does not have dresses.

Another highlight of her birthday was having Dayton play some Metallica are her party. Don't ask me why, but she loves the hard core songs the best.

For Boston's 4th Birthday Ben got her some tools. Let me explain. We are remodeling our basement and Boston loves to help Ben work downstairs so he got the wonderful idea to give her tools of her own, he even bought her a mini drill.

Not so small

Today we were up at grandpa's house, who always has the camera out, and took Lincoln's two month picture. It is amazing how fast he is growing. Did Boston really grow this fast? I am sad and am trying to treasure every day.

Light em' up

Instead of staying at the hospital we decided to do light treatments for Lincoln's Jaundice at home (need I mention I got out of the hospital less than 48 hours after a C-section). Our whole bedroom glowed at night, I wonder what the neighbors thought.

My little elf

Mommy's little elf. This picture is my favorite one. It was taken at the hospital on my cell phone; however, I just learned how to email myself the pictures from my phone. Nothing like being cell phone literate even if it takes you ten minutes to type in the address!
