Kitchen renovations COMPLETE!!

We are finally done with the kitchen! We have done several things over the last few months trying to make it more functional for us. We have bought a new stove, re stained the grout, put in extra cabinets, painted, and finally put in granite counter tops! Our counter tops went in yesterday and we spent all day today getting it all back together. It was a great chance to clean out cupboards and put down new shelf liner. Below you'll see on the left the "before" pictures and on the right the "after" pictures. We were in desperate need of storage space and I am SO happy to have my limited counter space available for working, rather than storage! I do have to give a disclaimer...the picture on the left with our stove in it was doctored up a bit, Derek's mom and I were trying to get us on an HGTV show and tried to make it look as cramped as possible...needless to say it didn't work. I forgot to take a more updated, cleaner looking picture before we ripped out the counters!

Our little Dancin' Queen

Kimel Wedding!






Last night Taylor got to attend her first wedding! Our friends Geoff and Danielle were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony! Of course our "chatty" child could not sit still so Taylor and I had to watch from afar! She had a BLAST at the reception. We couldn't keep her in her seat. She found other little ones to chase after and spent a lot of time dancing! Thanks to cousin Bea for letting Taylor borrow your dress, it worked out perfect! And of course CONGRATS to Geoff and Danielle, we wish you lots of happiness!
