Updates...

Well, it has been a long time since I have been able to sit down and write a post. To all my daily readers, I am sorry! ha ha
The kitchen...

These are my new custom cabinets that Ben is designing for me! Yay! They are so beautiful. I love the way they look, and can't wait until they are all installed. It has been so cold here though that he hasn't been able to finish them. All the paint on the doors would crack when he would paint them. This is a close up of them.


These are two of the sizes of cabinets we have.


These are my new counter tops. We are using granite tiles with a kit to put a edge overhang on also. I picked out the color, and am so excited for it! It is the same color we used on our little computer/desk nook from a previous post. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM ALL IN AND USE THEM!


Here is the finished product of the kitchen floor. I love it. The dogs are kind of funny though. They'll come running around the corner and slide across the whole floor. It is hysterical. Sorry babies, but it is!

Christmas...

This is grandpa Cummings with Killer, oops I meant Rocky. They adopted him a while ago and he was really scared of people. He has really changed, but he likes to bark at people, and other dogs. He was very well behaved and sweet Christmas day. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us stay with you all day! Love you!


Rocky loves Grandpa! He just makes himself comfortable and cuddles right in for the long haul! Grandpa doesn't really put up a fight either...he loves all the affection, right Grandpa?


This is how our babies were Christmas morning! It was so cute. Ben was playing Playstation and I came in to see this scene. I grabbed the camera quickly for this one. They are so sweet!


This is how Ben was when I came in. He's playing a race-car game that he loves. Isn't he cute? I love him. Enough mushy talk for now.


I kind of forgot to take this picture! Well, here it is. I love our tree. This is only my second real live tree ever. I love the way they smell. Kudos to my husband who picked out all the decorations last year when I was at work. When I came home we had a tree and decorations all ready to go. That was nice. This year it looks just as nice! Thanks babe for always taking care of me!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and fun with your families! We wish you all a prosperous new year and all the blessings the Lord has waiting for you, may you all be ready for your blessings!
Love to you all.
Ben & Shakirra
