New Years Resolution

So I have a few New Years Resolutions
  1. Finish the basement and go play more with my kids (Camping, Hiking, Climbing, Traveling, I'm not picky)
  2. Exercise more and tone up!
  3. Scrapbook - I am 6 years behind. My kids love looking at their baby photos and I have to get them into a book.
  4. Read - I love reading and never take time. I love history, old classics and the scriptures and I want to spend more time reading.

The Basement Remodel

So we have been working on our basement for so long. We have
a family room, laundry room, 2 bedrooms and a bath downstairs.
It has taken so long because we have done everything ourselves.
My husband is so amazing. He is willing to learn how to do anything.
It also helps that he is a perfectionist, so everything is always perfect.
This is my cute bathroom. My favorite thing is the tile floor.

Scott and I just finished installing the cultured marble.
It was so heavy. I could barely carry it.
The bathroom is all done!!!
This is all of the rock for our fireplace. My funny father-in-law told
me that it would look better on the fireplace. Ha Ha.

Almost half way done.

Annie and Maggie's new room

I let both the girls help me paint the polka dots on their new walls. Annie
originally wanted chocolate brown walls because Aunt Jenny painted
a chocolate brown wall in her bedroom, which is so cute. I talked Annie into
chocolate polka dots instead because it is so dark in the basement.
Will I ever be done with touch up. The carpet is scheduled to
be installed in a week. I don't know if we are going to make it.

Cute little Maggie actually kept the roller in the template.
