Spoiled lil Charlie

We traveled down to Galesburg last weekend so Charlie could celebrate her birthday with the rest of her family that couldn't make it up here for her party.  We took her out for her 3rd boat ride and she loved it again.  She's a water baby for sure!

Then she got another smash cake to tear into.  This time it was white cake instead of chocolate and she seemed to like it just as much.  Sugar is sugar right?  She definitely needed another bath after that!

I got to go golfing with my mother in law for the first time in 2 years and I did pretty good for not having played for so long.  It was a lot of fun to get out there!

We got back late Monday night and are recuperating from all the activity! Up this weekend is our kitchen remodel! We ordered new cabinets over 2 weeks ago and they finally came in last week so now we have to tear out the old ones to put the new ones in. I can't wait! I will post pics but just so you can see how badly we need it, here is a picture of what the cabinets looked like when we moved in

And here is a pic of what it currently looks like since I painted it a couple years ago.  I swear the only thing holding these cabinets together are the thousands of layers of paint on them.  They are bad!!!  There is also NO counter top space to work with.  The cabinets we currently have are hung too low and stick out too far.  The new ones will be hung at the appropriate height and go all the way up to the ceiling so that we'll be able to use the counter space underneath them.  We also are going to relocate the sink to be at a diagonal in the corner so we'll have a long piece of counter top to be able to cook on.  (Not that I cook a lot.  Ha!)  We also ordered a tall pantry type of cabinet for next to the stove and an over the stove cabinet that we will hand a wall mounted microwave under.  So that will give our small kitchen more room as well.  I'm totally stoked to get this done.  It's way overdue!

Bring it on!!!
