Birthday-ness, Date-ness, and Project-ness

Adam and his mom have very close birthdays (May 31st and June 3rd) and have celebrated together on many occasions. This year we half celebrated Adam's on his birthday by having him open his preasents, but saved cake and ice-cream for Mom's birthday.

Adam got a new sander from his dad, and some new sandal/ slippers from me :)

We had Aunt Kate, Uncle Mark and Aaron, Hoku and kids over for the birthday fun!!

Adam lighting the candles...

Allie wasn't feel'n like picture taking so we included her nonchalantly...



Now for some date fun! Adam and I doubled with Aaron and Hoku for a super date. We left Grandma and Grandpa in charge and headed out for some bowling, a movie, and some dinner (over-kill? I think not!). It was great! Oh, and Hoku Whooped at bowling...

Nice form ;)


As for projects, we've started tackling the basement. Ceiling, walls, doors, floor, baseboards and all. In EVERY room. They started in the craft room/ William's room for the time-being, and then moved on to the big bed-room. Currently they are working on the family room (as in right this second..) and then they will attack the bathroom and laundry room.
Here is the before/ in the middle of ... Craft room (that's green padding, not the carpet. The carpet just looked like the other pictures that you will see of the basement).

Here are Dad and Adam painting away...


And, of course, William always gets in on the action :)

And here is the new and improved Sewing/ guest-room!! (well, except they're still going to make a box to go over the hole/shut-off valve to the water.)







Stay tuned for more exciting improvement pictures...
