Cat turns to Lion!

Saj took a trip to the barber's yesterday while the cabinets were being delivered - His do is called the "Lion Cut" - I think he likes it.. Sunny wasn't sure what to think of him at first, but they're buds again!

It looks like a kitchen!!!

It's finally starting to look like a kitchen!!!

Our good friends Jeff and Jason from Lowe's Kitchen and Bath spent ALL day today installing the cabinets - the appliances arrived early in the morning (too early!), the Microwave install guy showed around noon, and the counter top measurer has us all set for countertops!!!

Now I get to put everything away!!! Yeah!!!

Merry Christmas from the pets!

Sunny's all tucked into bed on Christmas Eve - She knows she has to be good or Santa won't come!!!

Saj is trying to blend in so maybe Santa won't notice he's awake!

Sunny anxiously awaits her present!!!

The Kitchen Remodel Continues

We're 3 weeks into the remodel - and have everything ready for the cabinets to be installed. We spent the past couple days painting - it's a nice buttery yellow. The cabinets were scheduled to arrive last Thursday - but they were coming from Denver - so needless to say - they haven't arrived yet. They are now due Wednesday morning - with the installation guys coming Wednesday afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed that they all arrive, and are in one piece! We have the appliances being delivered and installed on Thurday (if all goes as planned). We order countertops and then await their arrival.
We're doing the best we can to cook our meals, but end up eating out a couple times a week. I never thought I'd miss using a kitchen!!!!

SNOW

We have finally been getting some snow! I went up to Solitude on sunday with my buddy Pete and had a good day. Monday I went to Snowbird solo and had a great time, a few gates were closed all weekend and I was lucky to be at them when they opened. Untracked snow, steep and deep, just like I like it.

The Kitchen remodel is going slow, electrician is done and drywall guys is suppose to finish tomorrow. Hopefull the cabinets will be in next week.

We will be spending christmas in Salt Lake this year as I have pulled call duties at the hospital all weekend and monday. Hope everyone has a good holiday.

The Kitchen Remodel

The Kitchen Remodel Begins!!!

We started last week packing up the kitchen - putting the things we think we'll need in boxes in the dining room - the other stuff away in the basement. It's amazing how much stuff we've collected in the 8 months we've been here!!!

The Lowe's people came in Friday afternoon and ripped out all the cabinets, countertop and backsplash... Ross moved the fridge to the dining room, the dishwasher and stove to the garage (we're selling them). He built up the floor under the cabinets using the new table saw he bought with our wedding gift cards from The Home Depot.

We have the Electrician coming on Monday to run some wiring for undercabinet lighting and move some outlets around (I'm afraid of electricity). After that - the drywall guy will patch up all the holes and then we should be good to paint! The cabinets are expected to be delivered on December 21st, and we hope to get them installed the week after Christmas. If all goes as planned (a big IF), we should be ordering countertops by the first week in January, and be done by early February!

Backcountry pic

Here is a pic of my first snowboard outing, long way to the top but it is worth it to come down through untouched powder. Not much new snow in the forcast and I still havn't been to a resort yet this year.

christmas tree is up

We got the christmas tree up over the weekend. I also got the first snowboarding day in on friday, went on a backcountry hike with Brad Rutledge. I did bring the camera, but forget to put the battery back in it after charging. Brad took a few and I'll try and get one from him. I found I out I am way out of shape and have declared it to be at critical stage. I even went to spin class this morning at 5:45 before work!

Go Bears!
