I saw this fun idea on a friends blog. Kinnie helped me paint the rocks black. I painted uppercase letters on one side and lowercase letters on the other. We haven't used them too much yet...
Labor day weekend Landon and I ripped our carpet up upstairs. We were shocked when this beautiful hardwood floor was revealed...just kidding. We knew it was under there and the carpet was so old the padding had started to leave little black sticky spots all over. So while Landon pulled up all of the tack boards I scraped and scrubbed. We camped down in the living room for a few nights and after the maintenance man came and buffed and waxed the floor, we were able to get back to our normal lives. We are really happy with the results. And although it isn't as cozy we were glad we did it. We actually found a receipt for the carpet that was stuck under it and it was put in in January 1988! We were in Kindergarten...
Sometimes the kids play out front while I am doing dishes or making dinner. I looked out to see this and it reminded me of two old people sitting out watching the birds or whatever. They have so much fun together and I love it. Now if only the fighting and pushing each others buttons would stop!
I don't think there will be much more of this. We wore pants and jackets to the zoo today and I think it is supposed to be around 60 tomorrow. Bring on the fall weather, I LOVE it!
And Kinnie has started up preschool again. This time there are 3 boys and 3 girls. She loves it and really looks forward to it each week!

OOOOO. K! How cute is that last picture with Kinnie off to school?!?!
You'r kids are strikingly beautiful. I love how Andrew is leaning on her shoulder.
The floors look great! So funny that you were in kindergarten when it was put in! That's the year Layton was born.
Yay, I can comment!!!!! I'm so impressed with your floor, it looks beautiful. I love the letter idea, I really need to do that for Ben. Did you just use acryllic paint? Andrew and Kinnie are so cute, it was so fun to see all of you this Summer.
HEY NICOLE! I am really impressed with the hard wood floors - we want to put some in our living room but we're not going to just find them under our crappy carpet. p.s. I did have a dream - you and I were touring some amazing place (Rome maybe?) so it could mean only one thing - Landon is joining the air force and are going to travel together! Let me know if I'm right...
Hey Nicole it was so great to hear from you and so fun to see your blog. Whenever my mom runs into yours or Landon's mom she will give me a little update but it was so fun to see pictures. You guys seems to be on quite the adventure and what darling kids you have.
