Project: Addition

Nate has been hard at work the last couple weeks. He sneaks in a couple hours work here and there. It has paid off, because now the outside of the addition is pretty much done!! Well we need stairs but that will have to be after the patio is put in. It looks great!

This coming week, weather permitting we will get our concrete patio, and a little slab off the walk out. Slowly it is all coming together. We also planted a couple trees this weekend. I think it will be a little bit before we have grass, but to be honest, I think the boys will be sad when their dirt piles are gone.

Jacob & Evan's Room

We finished the boys room this weekend. With Nate always working on the addition I took on the task of painting the entire house. I did need Nate's help with the border. Someday we will get a bed for Jacob, but for now he is OK with having his mattress on the floor. Hopefully he'll hold out until Evan is ready for a big boy bed so we can get bunk beds.

Naughty

Looks like we have another climber. The other day Nate caught Evan pulling himself up off the ground by holding onto the oven......Double Naughty!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

A typical bath with Jacob and Evan

Since I added a video of Evan I felt like I should add one of Jacob.

This took place at the Italian Fest in Fitchburg. Unfortunately Jacob's dance moves haven't matured much since his you tube days. I guess this is probably what I look like when I dance.

get down! get down!

This is a very small clip. I wish it was longer but I wasn't quick enough. Evan has been a dancing machine lately. And I just wanted to see how easy it would be to add video clips.

Check out his curly do. I wish I had those curls!

haircut

As promised... here are some pics of my new do. I tried to take some side views to show that it is shorter in the back. It won't even fit in a ponytail!! The front view Nate took of me didn't make the cut. It will take awhile for me to get used to it but it was a much needed change.

Back to Fitchburg

Festa Italiana brought us back to Fitchburg this weekend. This was a small festival, but the Italian beef was delicious. We spent most of our time at the park with the kids. I managed to get a pic of Evan to share.

Race for the Cure

Saturday was the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure run/walk in Madison. It was my first official run, yeah! A group of us from work formed a team called the Pink PICU Pals. We ran in celebration of a co-worker, Cheryl, who is currently going through treatment for breast cancer. She even showed up and participated.

I had another reason for running... my aunt Kay. She also recently discovered that she has breast cancer. She has one chemo treatment left!! It is amazing to me what a positive attitude she has had throughout her diagnosis and treatment. Kay, my mom, and some of their sisters are going to be walking in the 3 day breast cancer walk in Minnesota this October. Can you imagine that..... 3 days!!! The least I could do was run a 5K.
