Basement Storage
Yes...I'm posting another boring blog about home improvements!! :-// But I'm so excited, I just can't help it! We had some shelves installed in the storage room in the basement and I was up till the wee hours of the night organizing and consolidating the mess that previously consumed the room. To my surprise, everything fit well with lots of room to spare! I really enjoy looking at the before and after picture so that I can admire my productivity :)

Basement
As I mentioned in my earlier post about my tile back splash, the things that excite me these days have a lot to do with practical home improvements. I am happy to say that thanks to my awesome brother-in-law we now have a finished basement complete with a bar, full bathroom, linen closet and storage room! Having this extra space is HUGE for us with the kids and all of their toys! We still have a ways to go but I was excited and wanted to share our progress...
As you can see, we have a lot of work to go (hanging pictures/decor, filling nail holes, blinds for the window, boxing in the pole, etc) but for now we are happy to have the usable space! Our next projects are getting shelves built in the storage room, drawers behind the bar, a door for the bar, storage shelves in the garage and painting the garage...oh, and for the yard we want to do a fire pit, horseshoe pits and a sandbox for the kids. :-) Phew....wish us luck!

Why I love my neighborhood...
No...this is not a tailgate, a birthday party or any other special occasion.
This is any given day in our neighborhood!
Visit from Sary
One of my bestest friends lives 4 hours away. She brought her kiddos and came down for a weekend. It was so great to see her and her beautiful kids, Addy & Bennett.

Easter
We celebrated Easter by going to my parent's house in the morning for an egg hunt, came home for naps, and then went back to my parent's house for dinner which Matt, Nicole, Camryn & Mila joined us for.
In addition to the festivities on Easter day, we participated in Riverside's first annual egg hunt and also colored eggs.

March Fun in the Sun!
We have had unusually warm weather very early this year, hitting the 80's in March!
I can't begin to tell you how much we LOVE to play outside!!

Happy Birthday Brent 3-9-12
Brent worked on his birthday this year so the kids and I baked some
cupcakes and brownies and took them to the station.
 |
| Visiting daddy on his birthday |
To celebrate Brent's birthday, I surprised him by taking him to dinner with our friends Kelly & Ross,
to Coach Insignia on top of the Renaissance Center.
The food was amazing and the weather was nice enough to take a stroll along the Detroit River!
Afterwards we stopped at Bahama Breeze for dessert.

I am happy to say that we had an unusually mild winter this year. Below is a picture of the one and only time we had enough snow to sled!

New tile back splash
In February we got a new tile back splash. Sadly, these are the things that excite me these days! ha ha

Fireman's Ball 2012
Every year I look forward to the Fireman's Ball, a charity event put on by the Northville Township Fire Department each February. This year was no exception! Several couples from our neighborhood went which made it extra FUN! The night was full of food, drinks, dancing, laughter, and of course Taco Bell! :-D
