10 Reasons Why I Love My Little Brother!!

There was supposed to be photos, but they decided to disappear, so maybe someday I'll be able to put them back up.. SHEESH!


1. We have similar music tastes. Avenged Sevenfold is just one band that we both love. A few others include: Tool, A Perfect Circle, Coheed and Cambria, Pat Benatar, and more.


2. He cares about me. He isn't embarrassed to say he loves me or kiss me on the cheek. He's 17 years old and he enjoys spending time with his older, married, and very lame sister.. It's great! (he's not 17 in this photo...)


3. He confides in me. Sometimes, our parents don't make living at home very comfortable with their arguing. Jeremy has no problem calling me up or shooting me an email if he ever wants to talk or get something off his chest. Although I wish he was more comfortable at home, I'm glad that he is turning to his siblings for support and not some other, less appealing, outlets.


4. He keeps me young! He keeps me up on the bands that the kiddos are listening to, he makes me laugh all the time over dumb, immature things, and he takes me to concerts with loud music! (ignore the incriminating expression on my face...)


5. He's musically inclined. He plays the snare drum in his schools' drumline, he is kicking ass on the guitar for how long he's been playing (like three years) and he values harmonies as much as I do!


6. He always wears button-shirts and the boy knows how to wear them well!


7. I can be my good ole silly self with him. I suppose this is an extension of him keeping me young. It's always a riot when we're together!


8. He's friggin' hilarious!! 'Nuff said!


9. He was my date to the company Christmas party last year!


10. He's my little brother and he's just AWESOME!! (not to mention, we're photogenic together!)

Babysitting day!

I got to babysit my nephews Jayden (almost 3) and Parker (almost 2) today while their parents and older brothers went to the car show up in Salt Lake City. It was fun! They were pretty well behaved, as well as can be expected, and I got a few good shots in. We watched Kung Fu Panda and Shrek the Third. I love my nephews... seriously, if my kids are half as cute as these, I'll be happy! Enjoy!

Moving forward.

We're still working on the kitchen. We've finished half of the tile and my Dad is now helping Cody install the cabinets on that side. I've snapped a few photos of the progress, and will hopefully get a few more when they've finished. It's finally starting to come together!

Updates..

We're still working on the kitchen. So far, all we have left is the other half of the floor, cabinets, and positioning the appliances. Cody put in half the floor last night so we can get to putting things back in the kitchen. Our house is so messy! It's been a little stressful for us these last few weeks, but I'm glad it's moved as fast as it has. I'm really excited! We painted over the weekend and I really like the color scheme. I hope I can decorate to accent the colors now...so much pressure! Here are a few more photos:

New light fixture!!














Gobi Desert paint!















Cody installing tile!














Moral of the story: I am excited to work on my wifely duties in the kitchen when it's finally finished! I never thought I'd miss cooking as much as I have! Especially things like cookies and cake.. Can't wait!

Lookie! No insulation in the whole (outer) wall! *sigh*












And finally, our fridge in the front/living room!
