Pepto Pink

Rylee has been bugging me for quite some time now about wanting a pink room. I finally gave in and picked out some cute, PALE, pink at Menards. I don't know what happened- but two different paint cans later it came out more of a Pepto bismal color then the perfumed pink sample I picked out. It's a bit much but Rylee loves it. We have soem cute brown and dark pink decals to put up so maybe that will tame the pverall pinkness down? Probably not!

Enjoying thier new pink room



Work in Progress

For those who don't know already- we are in the middle of a remodling project at our house. Anyone who has ever remodeled knows it is not easy and there are always "intersting" discoveries throughout the process and our house is not the exception to this. We have come to find out that nothing is as it appears or should be so it has been l wee bit challenging to fix everything the "correct" way. Chris has taken on quite a lot with this but in the end we think it will turn out wonderful (or atleast we hope). Our plan is once the remodel is done is to put it up for sale- so if anyone knows of someone who would love to own a cute little hobby farm in an excellent neighborhood- let me know.

Chris and Doug figuring out how the heck the house was wired and how to make it right- took some long thoughts but finally got it to how it should be.

Rylee is quite the handy-woman in the makings. She LOVES the tape measure and is going around the house and measuring everything- and I mean EVERYTHING. It's amazing how everything is the exact same size - 40 pounds? Crazy how that works out! (Rylee says pounds instead of inches and 40 seems to be her preferred number at this time).

The view walking in the front door off the deck. Normally you would see the wall and coats hanging up- but the wall was one of the first things to go. You will enter the house the same way but there is no proch- you will walk into the "entry way" which leads into the rest of the house. I am super excited to see it done as everyone seems to make fun of me for not being able to "see" the plans in the process.



Country Splash!!

Last Friday Miss Kallie and I went to Country Splash in Somerset, WI. It was a great time- little warm but we had a nice, cold rain to cool us down. My main reason for going was to see Lady Antelbellum- and boy was it worth the ticket price. They rocked! And so did everyone else. We decided that Miranda Lambert was also great and worth seeing again.

Kallie making me take pictures of us together- never can do anything without photo proof I guess
The closer- Mr. Kenny was great. Never a let down for sure

Miranda Lambert rocking the stage- she is super spunky and quite funny


My Favorite of the night- Lady Antebellum!!!

Go Brew Crew!!

Over Memorial Weekend the Johnson's invited us to the Twins Vs. Brewers game at the Dome. Both families went-kids and all. We were quite the caravan of stuff. We did a little tail-gating prior to the game and then headed in for the excitement. The Johnson's are Twins fans and we are Brewer fans-of course! Little rivalry between Chris and Bret but all in all everyone had a good time and hope to go again.
