T is for treat...

Well, actually it's for T-bone, at least this time. Mike and I were treated out to dinner earlier this week. We enjoyed some great steaks and great company while we were out. After we had stuffed ourselves, we decided that we would bring home the steak bones for the girls. So after they were cleaned up and bit and rinsed off, they got to enjoy them. At first, they weren't sure what to do with them, since they have never had a steak bone. But once they figured out what they were, they went to town on them.

Yum, yum, good stuff.....

We love our treats!!!

Garage Project take two...

This past weekend, Mike decided that he was going to finish organizing the garage, so that we could park the cars in it, since that is what a garage in for. At least in my opinion...

Here it is after all his hard work. There is still a few things that need to be put away, and out of sight, but that is another project, for another day.

Here's with one of the cars in the garage....

Here's with both of them in there.... I'm so proud of Mike for all his hard work on the garage. It's so nice to be able to park in the garage. It's the simple things sometimes.

Organization is key....

We had a productive weekend this weekend. The heat finally broke a little, so we decided that we needed to clean and organize the garage.

This is our soon to be storage area under our stairs. Since our attic isn't very easy to get into, this will do instead. Mike brought home a door, and once he frames it out, it will be instant storage for whatever is needed.

Here is what the garage looked like when we started. As you can tell everything that wasn't needed right away was just piled in the garage. It was quit difficult to find anything, let along walk through it.

The half way point..

All finished....It's not quite ready for us to park our cars in it, but at least now we can work in the garage, so that we can finish working on our house. It's been along time coming, but it felt good to finally get something done on our house again.

Happy Birthday Mama Rose!!

Last weekend Mike and I decided to make a trip to Fort Wayne to see my mom for her birthday. The kicker is that she didn't know that we were coming. So it was a surprise weekend filled with family time and lots of laughs.

One of my mom's favorite games to play when every one is home us UNO. More times than not, things can get a little personal while playing up here. Even still, we still had to break for cake and ice cream, yet another surprise for mom.

Mike wanted to help get the cake ready for mom...

Here is his handy work....at least it made everyone laugh a little.

Happy birthday mom!! We enjoyed spending your special day with you, and we look forward to spending many more with you!!
