The New Kitchen! (99% done)

Drum Roll Please.....Here is our (99% done) new kitchen! :) We are SO excited about it and can't believe its ours. Our friend Matt did an AMAZING job with the cabinets and our favorite part - the beautiful raw cherry bar top! All we have left now is to get two pendant lights for the bar area and add backsplash to the walls.

Just for a little trip down memory lane...here are a couple before shots, one with the wall still there, then one of the old kitchen

5 years!?!?!?!

Before I start posting pictures from Panama, I wanted to share pictures of another visitor we had. Treena and Jason and their ADORABLE daughter Faerosa!!!! I worked with Treena at the Honolulu NWS office and was immediatly drawn to her by her amazing smile and beautiful hair :) She was in Boulder for a conference and brought along her family. We realized it had been FIVE YEARS since we saw each other, before they moved to Eureka, CA. It was so great to see them again and finally meet the fantastic Fae and all her bubbliness! Thanks guys!

Panama....Here we come!

Tomorrow, Lisa's big 3-0 birthday, we're heading down to Panama to celebrate! We're going to visit our friends that we lived with in Hawaii, Mike and Hilary, who moved to Panama last August. Not only is it Lisa's birthday, but she shares the day with Hilary - another April 2nd baby! We've kidnapped our friend Kevin from Anchorage and Ben's dad Ken to bring with us on this wild ride. So far, a visit to the Panama canal, a 3-day trip to Isla de Coiba, a soccer game, surfing, a beach house, canopy tours and our own party bus have been planned! We're super stoked and can't wait to share pictures when we get back. Wish us luck!!!!

Our Yearly Spring Break Hang!

Just about every year, we get together with Lisa's cousin Casey and his awesome wife Annie. This year, their 11 month old cutie pie daughter Avery came to Boulder to hang out a bit. As always it was a great time!

Cousin shot-o-tequila!!!

Avery likes books, I mean REALLY likes them, sometimes she eats them!

Shower time!

They had experience a major winter storm earlier this season in Portland, and they brought it here! We got about 19 inches in one day while they were here!Ben showed Avery a little drumming fun!
Thanks guys for coming! We had a blast with you as always!

Cousin's Hair Salon!

We went over to my cousin Tonya's house the other day and her girls wanted nothing else but to play with my hair! So I said it should be a full salon! We had a ton of fun!
