Bathroom Renovations- Part 2

So, it's been awhile since I posted about the first part of our bathroom project...we, and when I say "we", I mean mostly Mike, finished up at the beginning of September with the bathroom downstairs. Here are some before and after pictures.

Okay, once again, more like "during" pictures....I didn't get down there with the camera before Mike started tearing things down.

We had a mold issue, so I was glad to get that problem fixed!

After...I pretty much just painted everything and helped Mike hold things, etc....This was his first tiling job (and according to him his last in a shower! haha!), and I think he did great!

Kendra's First Day of Third Grade

Chase County Fair

We had a lot of fun at the fair this year. All of the cousins were there together, and got to go on rides together.

Kitchen "Helper"

When I am in the kitchen (Which is a lot!) Micah seems to think he needs to help me. Here are just a couple of examples of the kinds of things he likes to do.

Climbing

Just a walk down memory lane...The first 3 pictures here are of Collin at almost the exact same age as Micah. He like to climb on the fireplace "step" that we have.

And, here is Micah doing the same thing....climbing up.

And up..

And up...

So proud!

And he also figured out how to get back down without doing a nose dive!

Swimming With Cousins

The kids had their cousins over to swim in the pool. I would say they had fun, because they spent 4 hours straight in there! The boys didn't want me to take their pictures, but I caught them showing off later. :)

Mike and Micah joined the fun too!
