Testing, can you see my kitchen?

Looks like we're going back to blog one. Sorry there haven't been many posts lately. Wordpress hates me so I'm coming back to Blogger. Hopefully everyone can see the pictures of the house that are below.

My awesome fridge with our new fancy Crate & Barrel wine cabinet courtesy of Kimberly! :)

My cool knife holder.

Looking out from the kitchen into the living room.

Sorry most of these are taken with a weird setting....it was late/dark and these were turning out the best.

Ahhhh, well let's hope this works..... one day I will figure out this whole blogging thing!

Well this sucks...

I didn't want to but it has to be done. This site is not so user friendly with my new Macbook - so I have moved on! Please continue following the lives and adventures of Amy and Jeffrey here:

The weekend edition

We had a busy weekend this weekend, but it was fun!

Friday night we went out for sushi with Jeff's mom.

Saturday we put some furniture back in the house now that OUR FLOORS ARE DONE!! Woot!! I also made a casserole for breakfast because I was so excited to use my new oven. :) Then we cleaned the house some more, then cleaned ourselves up and went out to see Warren Miller at the Paramount Theatre. Good times.

Sunday Jeff woke up at 3 in the morning to go help one of our friends who owns a snow plow business shovel snow. Then he came home around 11 and we napped until it was time to go up to Evergreen for a pre-Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving dinner with his fam. It was delicious!! And a nice little treat in the beginning of November. We came home and I made chili for our annual chili cook-off for work tomorrow. Send me good chili tasting vibes...I've only made chili once so I can use all the help I can get. :)

Meanwhile, here are a few pictures from a couple of weekends ago when we spent the night at the Highland Haven Inn. This is the same place we stayed at on our wedding night, so we hold it near and dear to our hearts. The floors were being sealed (or something-I don't really remember) and we wouldn't be able to go home and walk on them until late, so I booked us and the pups a room at the HHI. It was SO worth it too.

This is the entrance to the Inn.

It was a beautiful morning in Evergreen.


And of course-a beautiful morning means a game of pine cone fetch, cuz, why not? The dogs were LOVING our little retreat.


And we snuggled too.


And we ate the most delicious breakfast. They always serve the yummiest dishes.

I *might* be changing our blog service.... So please check back later today or tomorrow for more info!!

Happy Birthday, Carlene!!!

Jeff's mom's birthday is today!! Everyone say Hi and Happy Birthday!!

(I 'borrowed' this picture off yahoo images, if it's yours may I please use it? Thanks!)

Man, where have we been?

BUSY! Holy cow have we been busy. There has been something going on every evening/night since we posted last. But what is most exciting? Amy has a new laptop!! Which means that I can start posting more. :) Yay! I'm slowly figuring out all the bells and whistles on my new Macbook, but it's a fun notebook. I'm super excited to have it!

We have a new refrigerator. We have a new microwave. We have some awesome new wood floors. We have started to put up and use some of our wedding presents which is SO much fun! The pot rack is up above the window in the kitchen with the new pots and pans hanging from it. The knives are stuck to the magnetic holder on the wall. The entertainment center that Dave got us from Crate and Barrel is set up downstairs with our tv on it. Our house is starting to feel like our home again. Soon, we will have our furniture back in our living room and kitchen and we will be back to normal. And we cannot wait for that!

A few pictures of what has been keeping us entertained lately:

We went for a couple nice little walks up in Evergreen and Lookout Mtn last weekend. Such gorgeous views!

And Piper....she's been keeping us annoyed, er...entertained. I mean-look at this face! She is just too cute!

And my stove gets delivered today!! Woot! I'm pretty darn excited about that. We never want to eat out at a restaurant again! Ok, maybe not for a month or two.....

We need a new computer-STAT!

Sorry for the delay in posting....but our computer took a crap and doesn't turn on anymore. Well, it does turn on. But the screen is black. Awesome. So.....we are going to go out and look at computers tonight. It might be just a little bit-but we promise to update soon.

Progress!

The word of the day today is progress. This is what our house started out looking like when we first came to look at it.


This is the living room mid-remodel. The dogs have no idea why we are tearing up their house.

Looking toward the front door.

The floors are going in quite nicely! This was the progress at the end of the work day yesterday.

Tonight they finished the kitchen. The living room is the same. About 1/3 done. It looks like we are a little behind and won't be done in a week like originally planned. Jeff is thinking we should be completely done by the end of October which is a total bummer because until the floors are done-Amy doesn't have a stove. :( It was taken out today to finish the floors under it and taken to the garage. Such a bummer. Good thing we own a grill and a crockpot.

Then there is our adventurous kitty in the house.....check me out!

Don't I look cute and innocent?

AND dunh dun dunhhhh! Rockstar and Piper are able to be in the same room! And even on the same couch. I think we're definitely making progress here.

It's Piper!!!!

The inquisitive, non-helping, just getting in your face kitten! Here she is helping Jeff put the garage door button back on the wall. She likes to see what's going on in your hands at all times.

And then try and pounce on it and get whatever it is! See: she's daddy's little helper.

This little thing is exploring like crazy. Loud sounds don't scare her anymore, which is good because our house is nothing close to quiet right now while the floors are being put in. She can get up the stairs like a flash now. She has even been trying to escape upstairs all night to help the men put in the floors. She's going to fit right in here.

Unfortunately, this is what TeamRK still thinks of little Miss Piper. 'We aren't coming in until she is OUT!'

Big babies!! Actually, Kipp is doing much better today. He won't do too much to avoid her anymore. Rockstar still isn't ready to accept her. :(

Meet our newest family member!

Guess who? Well, we aren't quite sure yet but I'm sure she'll get a name eventually. Right now we are calling her Miss Snarling Kitty Pants because we aren't quite sure what to name her yet.....but isn't she the CUTEST??


Hi!!

Aren't I sweet looking? (It's a ploy people! She has claws and teeth.)

I'm pretty teeny...

But I've got LOTS of personality!

She likes the wood floors we picked out. She looks good on them.

This is her little bowl. She is so cute when she eats.

Uh oh, she saw me.....and this is what she looks like when she is about to pounce!

Mmmmmm, she likes her food. It is tasty and delicious.

She has to drink out of the dogs bowl and learn to be a big girl, but she is still so tiny she almost falls in when she drinks.

The ultimate stare off! Who is going to win this battle?? Keep checking in to find out! :)

Springing the Border Collie

Jeff and our friend Kenny did a transport today for the border collie rescue that we volunteer with. Western Border Collie Rescue is bringing this little guy into foster care so that he can get healthy and find a forever home. He is about 1-2 years old and VERY skinny. He weighed in at a whopping 21 lbs at the shelter. But what he lacks in size he makes up for in personality!! I mean, c'mon-just look at this face!



He is a teeny little thing. About the size of Rockstar, but being only 21lbs he seems like a puppy!

He has plenty of what Jeff calls 'puppy spunk.' (The shelter estimated him at 3-4 years old, but Jeff and his new foster mom are thinking more like 1.) This is little Blaine before he escaped from his leash and bolted across a field. Luckily Jeff and Kenny caught him and got him to his new foster home safe and sound. Apparently he doesn't like cars. In fact, he is terrified to even be near one. :(

Luckily-he likes ear scratches and belly rubs!

And LOOK! He already is doing tricks! Freaking adorable!

He wants out of that shelter BAD. You can see it in this face. And Jeff couldn't wait to get this boy out of there.
