Labor Day Projects




Our Labor Day weekend was full of many projects. We did some landscaping around the house (now we just need a lawn!) and Kyle also made "potty toss." Even though we stayed busy, we sure enjoyed the time off school and working around the house.









This is the finished product of the new (and improved!) entryway.

Can potty toss get any better than this?!?

Officially Kansas Residents

It's official! We truly live in Kansas now... However, the Texas and Ohio plates are hanging in the garage! Some things are hard to let go of... :)

Heaven (or close to it...)

In the middle of our crazy, busy summer, we were able to enjoy a week in Colorado. It was amazing (as always) to get away from the "real world" and enjoy time in the mountains. Kyle and I spent a couple days in Denver before we went up to the cabin. Our week was filled with hiking, playing games, "rafting," and just relaxing. Enjoy the pictures!

Home Sweet Home


Our First House

We wanted to share some pictures of our new home with everyone. We are loving Kansas and really enjoying settling into our first house! We still have some work to do, but we wanted to share what we have done so far. Enjoy the pictures!



















Entry to the house...

Our living room with the three way fire place.

Dining Room

Kitchen






Hall/Guest Bathroom. One of the first things we did when we moved in was paint. We painted this bathroom as well as our bedroom. Luckily that was all we had to/wanted to paint! :)

Lisa has always wanted a zebra print shower curtain
and Kyle gladly (?) gave in....

There is a good story behind the completion of this bathroom. Anyone interested in hearing it should ask Kyle! :)






If any of you come and visit us in Kansas, you would be more
than welcome to stay in our guest bedroom!



The (very messy!) office...

More pictures will come later. We hope you enjoyed the pictures of our Kansas Home! :)
