Bathroom......

When we built our house 4 years ago there were a few things we or I should say "I" thought were over priced to have the builder do. Such as Medicine Cabinets in our Master Bathroom. They was to charge $150 a cabinet. I knew you could get them for about $40&up at Home Depot so there was no way I was gonna pay that! Now 4 years later I have finally installed 2 medicine cabinets in our bathroom!!!!!

Picture 1: Is what the wall looked like before!

I first started with a little hole to view inside for anything that would make installing a cabinet impossible. Such as a water pipe. It looked good from here so I continued breaking the drywall out.

I went slow and carefully because I did not want to hit any electrical wires that might be in the wall. As you can see I did find a stud, which I knew was there.

A little piece of the drywall peeled underneath the desired area but a little drywall putty will fix that right up! I did run into a water pipe on the right side of the stud but it did not interfere with the installation.

I then used a Jig Saw to remove the stud. This was tedious because I did not want to go through the wall so I had to cut slowly and chip away the stud.

This is a picture of the cabinet in the wall. I screwed into the stud on the left and into the top and bottom of the stud I cut. If you look closely the Medicine Cabinet particle board actually started to buckle because it is such a tight and secure attachment to the stud. (I'm not worried about the buckle at all.)
With the mirror attached.

Starting to put junk in it ;)

All finished. If you look in the mirror you can see the other side! They are both finished now and I. LOVE. them! More bathroom pictures to come!

Christmas 2010 Picture!

Again late but here it is....Love these kids!

Dress Up............

My kids love dress up!...I find myself getting irritated because they are always unfolding clean clothes and changing their outfits 10x a day!

Not sure what this is but maybe...vacation clothes gone bad?? ;)

These costumes have been great they wear then all the time!

Peter Pan and Wendy??? hahaha

Officer Brielle!

Miss Hawaiian girl....

Hero and the Princess....

Okay, he didn't put himself in this costume but I had to include him.

Random....

This is how we eat our steaks.....

This is what happens when you do not look at the couch before you sit....

Dawson & Trevor...

Here is Dawson and his friend Trevor in a Mickey Mouse costume!...just a few sizes too small costume ;)

Blogging is a vicious cycle. If you are always playing catch up then you will never really catch up! These pictures are from July!

Pink Hearts.....

Another catch up post.....

Brielle plays for the Pink Hearts soccer team which she named and well she is awesome...if I do say so myself ;)

She dominates the girls her age...which leads to her getting bored....

She is absolutely not afraid of getting on the grass...

This is her signature, "I just scored signal!"

This is "I fell but I'm okay!"

(These pictures below are from my sister Karly...she got great action shots!)

Goallllllllllllllllllllllll..............................

Goallllllllllllllllllllllllll............................

Goallllllllllllllllll................

Goalllllllllllllllllll................

And well it has become kind of a Milius signature now ;;;) Dawson loves to cheer her on!..When its not too hot that is...

P.S. When I mean she dominates I'm not exaggerating..those goals are all from one game...She usually gets about 5- 7 a game!...I know stud right? hehehe

Rejected Xmas Photos

Here are a couple of funny Christmas photos that did not make it on our card this year! Too funny not to share!

My kids and their funny faces ;)

Binky shot...(Look at that crazy hair!)

Pretty girl!!!....

I'm leaning toward a mix! I think Dallin has Brielle's eyes and mouth! I think he has more of a Dawson nose! Dallin seems to make a lot of "Brielle" faces to me. It will be interesting to see where his looks go ;)

One thing is for sure my kids are all born with HUGE noses!!!

Water Slide FUN..............

We have INTERNET...............So catch up posts coming!

Over the summer my parents bought a HUGE waterslide! I found it on KSL and it was sooooo much fun!...The kids loved it but Dawson would not go down the slide!

He just sat at the top and let the water run on his head!...Apparently, it was too HUGE of a slide for him. ;)

I just love this boy and all his quirks!

How funny is that face?????

He held onto the handle and would not let go!

We had to stop the big kids from going down the slide to give Dawson and turn at the top!..HAHAHA...Love him!
