Lake trip




We did do one fun thing this weekend other than put in hardwood floors, we went to the lake. The girls love the tube. I did a little wake boarding and am not sore and I drank a lot of water, but I am getting better, maybe at the end of lake season here I will be doing a trick.

Hardwood floors





So we have done 1/2 of the floors, it was a lot more time consuming than I thought. But it looks really nice. They are engineered hardwood with a cherry finish. You can see that Chloe was a big help, Phoebe not so much.

kitchen is almost done

We finished the other side of the kitchen. The sink is in and the faucet. The last thing is to touch up the paint from the remodeling, the bar countertop and the backsplash behind the sink.

4th of July



We had a great fourth. We did our own fireworks in the backyard on the fourth. The girls said it was the best day ever. They really like the sparklers. The next day we went up to a lake up north and sat out on the boat watching fireworks.

Girls 6th birthday




The girls had a luau party for their sixth birthday. They invited all their friends and a lot of them came. We had it at our pool in the neighborhood. The girls each had a surfboard cake and really enjoyed themselves. But next year it will be a much smaller party. I was exhausted.

new kitchen



Ryan and I have been working on the kitchen. ryan designed the backsplash. now we just have the other half of the kitchen to do.

Trip to Roatan






Ryan and I went on a trip to Roatan in June. We stayed at a little resort there that had individual cabanas. We had a great time scuba diving. We did 2 dives a day and a night dive. We did our dives in the morning and had the afternoons for sight seeing. We rented a scooter a couple times and rode around the island, then we went to the mangroves also. It was nice to get away for a bit. We had a great time diving, we saws lots of turtles and eels and big fish. We wished for a shark but it just didn't happen this time. The girls stayed in ohio with my parents.
