What are the odds......

When we picked out both the boys names, we tried to pick something a little unique.
Slightly different than the average James, Henry…ya know. With the common last name of Johnson, we just wanted a little more of an uncommon first name.

What are the odds that Kamden will be starting kindergarten this fall with another Camden in kindergarten with him?! Not only is there is another Camden in there, but they both share the same last name as well.
They were in the same class for summer school.
They become known as Kamden with a K and Camden with a C.
I hope the teachers are a bit smarter for the school year and at least put them in separate classrooms. It could get quite confusing!

The school supplies are bought, the clothes we didn’t really need for him are bought, we bought 5 too many new pair of shoes (hey I have issues), he is ready, dad is ready, daycare knows he is done there…..but me….I still hate exposing him to the things he could learn at school…..Urg….I wish he could just stay little and innocent forever!

Only 2 more weeks…..not so cool…

Kitchen Facelift.....

So where the heck have I been for the last few weeks?!? Redoing a kitchen is ALOT of work....just ask Jason.....but where is my excuse?! Moral support, I guess.

Our kitchen was outdated...over 20 years. We have talked about redoing it on more than one occasion, but just never taken the plunge. Our kitchen is not huge, so we knew it should be a simpler project; we just aren't sure how many more years we are going to be here, so we just weren't sure it would be worth it......but now that its done, it was oh so worth it!

You would really have had to see the before to appreciate the after....(I had before pictures, its just the time I am lacking)........We took out the L-shaped counter top to open up the kitchen more. We were not sure we were going to love that, as we were kinda afraid we were going to miss it. But so far, we haven't really missed it at all! We did extend the counters on each side to compensate for the loss of counter space from removing the L-shape........I am loving the new updated look!! Really makes me want to bake!!
