My Handyman

I have a wonderful husband, in case you didn't know. He is smart, generous, caring, romantic, makes me laugh, is an amazing dad, rocks the triathlons, the list goes on and on. There is one thing that I can now add to that list---he's handy!

These are a few of the home improvement projects he's done to our home. Who knew he could build!
He built a corner shelf for our blu-ray, satellite thingy and stereo, along with hanging our crazy tv (anyone is welcome to come over for movie nights, we don't need to go to the theatre anymore!)

This is my favorite--a new bar in the kitchen. We don't have a whole lotta space for a table in our kitchen, so he built the bar. It looks amazing and gives us so much more room. It really adds alot to our home!

There are also some others that I don't have pics of....new shelves in the pantry (a HUGE improvement!!) and a back porch awning (i don't know how to spell it) that protects it nicely from the multiple feet of snow and ice that build up there ever winter.

You are the best handyman a girl can ask for!

Jacob!

Our little guy just recently hit 4 months. Man, time is flying by! He's growing so big and getting so fun. The kids LOVE the little guy and really can't get enough snuggles and loves from him. He weighed in at 14 lbs 3 ounces. I love his round little face and body...so yummy! Here are a few recent pics of him!

Cute Cow socks from Aunt Nan--notice the little tail on the heel. He has a pair of duck ones too. SO cute!

We love you Jakie Bug!

Spring?

We are really itching for spring around here, as I'm sure everyone else is! Here are a few things that have been going on in little ol' Montpelier, ID.Molly got "Reader of the Month" for the 1st grade classes. She loves to read! She is into the infamous Junie B. Jones books and finds them quite hilarious.

Brigham turned 4 on March 24th. He got lots of cool John Deer trucks and construction rigs. He loves to watch machines at work when we spot construction on the highway. He is so smart and knows what each truck does!

Here is the cute bag grandma made for him...it was filled with all different kinds of cars. Thanks grandma!


We made our way to Boise for spring break. I think we brought the cruddy weather with us because it was anything but spring while we were there! We did have fun with family and that was the most important, right? Here are some pics from the easter egg hunt at the McKeeth's. It was so great for the cousins to see each other.


Uncle Gary had hidden dollar bills in some of the eggs--a tradition held by this awesome family. My kids thought they had hit the motherload! Can we come back next year??? They had to be tied together to make it a bit more interesting--so fun!
