A Rooster... A Dinosaur... No! A Baby!

Oliver's little personality is starting to blossom. He smiles when he is happy, squeals with delight, has a serious face (very serious face), and every now and then lets out one of these.....

 poor phone video, sorry!

We are still unsure what this noise exactly is. Grandma Jensen says it's a rooster while Terry says it's a dinosaur. What we do know is that he makes it quite frequently and it always gets a chuckle out of someone!

Making an Old House a New Home

We have been living in our house for a little over a year now and we have made a few changes. We thought we would share! Here are some before and after pictures.

First you should know that the previous owners loved GREEN!

Stoves Before:
 After! No more Green!
 Green carpet? In the kitchen!

If you look to the top right corner of this picture, there used to be a sliding glass door in the MIDDLE of our house. Anyone know what that would be for??? That was the first thing we removed.

Yes, that's a shovel. We're farmers! Would you expect anything less??

 And now...





I hated our countertops.
 This was actually in the mudroom... 
 But now they look like this!


These were just a few modification we have made with a ton more to come! Next project is to update those awful cupboards, paint the doors, and kitchen table.
