My Kitchen Cabinets are DONE!

When we first bought our house, I knew I wanted to change the kitchen cabinets. It wasn't that they were ugly; it was just that they didn't match our style. So, a few weeks ago, I jumped into my first real DIY project.

Here they are "in progress" all laid out in the garage:

That was all fine and dandy, until it rained for two weeks straight and I had to move "the party" into the dining room! But even with all the obstacles, I am SO glad I took this project on.

Here is the BEFORE looking into the kitchen:

A Chuck E Cheese Birthday!

Braedyn had his THIRD birthday party on Sunday! He immediately knew he wanted it at Chuck E Cheese, so that made it easy for mommy and daddy to plan.

Here he is with the Toy Story cake he picked out at Walmart:

Braedyn and Daddy headed right for the game and started playing! Here he is showing that he is THREE now!

Daddy and Braedyn challenged Uncle David and Uncle Jamie to some serious games of basketball!

And, Emily was amazing to take Brookelyn all around! They played and played!

Here's B-Man showing off his tickets:

Braedyn challenged Brookelyn to a water gun game:

And, then Chuck E Cheese himself showed up!
We all sang Happy Birthday, and the birthday boy blew out his candles!
He had a BLAST!
And, even shared a little cake with Chuck E!
Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us on Sunday (and to those who couldn't be there but were in spirit)! Happy Birthday Braedyn!
