Summer fun...

We finally got some nice weather over the weekend so I was able to get out the bike trailer I purchased awhile ago and put it together. Ethan watched in anticipation while I built it and then was very eager to get inside. Once he was in and we rode around the neighborhood a few times it was hard to get him out since he was having so much fun. I had installed it on my beach cruiser that has no gears so I could only go on the flat parts. I think the next step is to hook it to my mountain bike and go for a long ride and a picnic at the park in the near future when the sun decides to come back. Below is a photo of our test run. Ignore the boots since I had been mowing the lawn before we did this. :)

House Projects...

We are FINALLY done with our major house project that had been going on for the past four days. We had all new trim installed, doors painted, new slats put in on the stairs, and a bunch of other misc. stuff. Ethan loved being without doors for the past week but was really happy that the doors were finally fixed this afternoon. Here are a few photos. Enjoy!

Memorial Day Weekend - Long Beach Washington

Over Memorial Day weekend we visited Long Beach Washington with Jeff's family. We stayed at a great place called the Akari Bungalow's that were very close to the main downtown and the beach. Even though the weather was raining almost the entire time we still enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed getting away for a short time. Ethan really enjoyed the arcade, eating icecream, and the go-karts. We will definitely be back again.

Home Improvement...

Home improvements are full steam ahead at the Kalles household today. After an initial attempt by me and not enough time on our hands we decided to hire people to come in and replace all of the trim and paint all of our doors to give our house an updated look along with a few other small projects as well. We are hoping to put our house on the market in the coming months and needed to do some cosmetic improvements before this could occur. For those of you that have seen our house we have definitely outgrown it and our looking to get into a bigger one. Not sure where yet but we will keep you all posted on that as well I am sure.

For the next few days our house will be in shambles but I cannot wait to share with all of you the finished product. Thankfully Jeff decided to work from home and oversee the process since I know I would be having a complete heart attack. Wish us luck!
