Day at the Zoo!

I hadn't ever been to the Hogle Zoo so it was fun to be able to take the kids there. It was a really nice day to be outside and the kids had such a good time together. I'm so glad that Travis came along, he was on 4 year old duty. He wrangled Jo and Aiden most of the time so that made it a lot easier on me.

DIY

Most of you know that we did a lot of remodeling on our house before we moved in. We spent about 6 months fixing it up. I took some before and after photos so I could have proof of all the hard work. :) We're still not completely finished. It's a work in progress.

I didn't truly get a before picture since we had already torn out the carpeting when I took these photos. This is the pile of the nasty carpet that we removed. Very few people saw the house before the carpet was gone. It was so ugly. I think each room had carpet from a different decade. I can't believe we considered keeping it. I'm so glad we found the hardwood underneath. It was a ton of work to refinish but it looks so much better (and I think our house is so much cleaner.)







Yes, that was carpet in the kitchen. I hope you can tell the difference between before and after. Now to the outside...

A little Wedding Photography

This is mostly for Angela but everyone's welcome to look. :) I had a wedding shoot just before Ang left for AZ and she came to assist me. We did this a lot. I helped her, she helped me. It was pretty fitting that her last day here was spent helping me with this wedding. I'm going to miss doing our photo shoots together. I promised her I'd post some of the images so here they are.







Thanks again for your help Ang, it was fun.
