Our new flooring!!

Not only did we great a lot of snow on Saturday, but we also got new flooring. Patrick and his family made the trek over from Jackson that morning to install our new flooring. I am very happy with it and thank my brother and sister-inlaw sooo much. Patrick did a wonderful job.

We started with alot of help both big and small. Once we got going on getting the carpet up, I took the kids outside while I made trips to the garage with the old carpet. They had a lot of fun playing outside and helping inside.

Trying to decided at 9pm where to stop for the night. Right around half way there. It did go faster once we brought the kids to Grandma's to play so the adults could work without having to watch them.

Almost finished floor on Sunday morning.

The flooring is all in now and I will post some photos once I get things put back and my new rugs down!!

First snow fall of the season

Friday night and into Saturday we had our first snow and boy was it a big one. I think we got somewhere around 10'' of snow and it was thick and heavy. When Devin woke up I showed him outside and he wanted to get boots on and head right out. We wait about an hour or so before we actually headed out.

This is looking South on Main Street around 8:30 in the morning.

My Birthday Weekend

The first weekend of November we took a little vacation. Not only was it long over due, but it was my birthday. We headed to the cities Friday morning and made our way to the Mall Of America. We ate at Rainforest Cafe, hit Underwater World, did some shopping and just hung out.

Devin really enjoyed watching all of the fish. He was really excited about the sharks.

On Saturday, my friend Pam's sister got married and we were invited to the wedding. I even got a quick picture with my wonderful son before heading to the reception in downtown Stillwater.
