It's been awhile since I've blogged!! Sorry! Things at my house have been hectic the last few weeks. We dealt with a couple weeks of sickness and once we got over that I felt like I was playing major catch up! I'm back though! And rejuvenated from the long weekend!! My Dad and Sheri came up this weekend to help us fix our backdoor. Here's the before pictures...
As you can see, the door frame started to rot around the bottom of the door. 
Here's a close up. The flap under the door also needed replaced b/c it would always leak when it snowed in the winter. The wind would whip right through this door. We decided to get a new door instead of trying to fix what we had. The end result...
We also added a storm door. I'm very excited about it b/c the kids spend a LOT of time on the deck as I'm making dinner or cleaning up and now instead of always having the door wide open, I will be able to hear and see them through the storm door. 
The main door has the blinds inside the window! Awesome! Love it! 
We are VERY happy with the results and are so happy to get this project done! Thanks to my Dad & Sheri for coming up to help! We really appreciate it. Next project will be painting the door (it's just primed right now). Stay tuned as we pick out a color!! :) Any tips on painting doors? We had quite the time when we did this at our old house. Not a fun project by any means!There was a festival in a neighboring town this weekend, so we hit the carnival rides! Here's Bryce & Jenna getting ready to ride the race cars!
We made a big mistake by doing the "speedy" cars first. We didn't realize how fast these cars whipped around the corner and Jenna DID NOT like it at all. In fact, she screamed the whole ride and I felt so terrible b/c they do not stop the rides for crying kids. It was bad.
We weren't able to get Jenna on another ride all night! She wanted NOTHING to do with it! So Bryce went on the rides by himself. He still had a blast though!
We actually saved a lot of money by scaring Jenna on the first ride. Each ride was $3 per kid - so that was $6 a ride! Hmmm... maybe that should be the plan of all parents... scare the CRAP out of your youngest on the first ride to save money on the rest of the visit! Totally joking! I felt bad she didn't want to go on the rides. Next time we will start her on these MUCH slower airplanes!
Jenna rode on Daddy's shoulders! That was enough excitement for her!
After the festival, we went over to a friend's house for a Labor Day party. There were 29 kids there! Wow! Talk about craziness!
We stayed till about 10 and watched the fireworks. The kids loved it and had such a great time!
They also did a pinata, here are the Moms trying to get the kids to line up by age! Ha! That was quite the chore!
Nice swing Bryce!
