Here's the end result on our repairs we had done. A closeup of the carpet--it's a nice frizee (fri-zay). I love the texture and look of it. Thanks to our home insurance (and water damage while we were on vacation) we got enough money to re-floor the entire house. And Empire Today gave us a HUGE discount. We are very happy, although it was a LONG wait to get everything fixed. We also had some drywall work done in our office and kids bedrooms. We are happy with the results. No more ugly white carpet and linoleum!
The stairs with the new carpet.
Our living room with the new carpet (before we moved the furniture back). Empire Today really delivered! It is SO soft and comfortable.
The vinyl flooring in our dining/kitchen area. The dining area used to be carpet. So much nicer!
Where the damage all began--over 3 weeks ago, this bathroom (and surrounding areas) were flooded when we got home from Utah. We love the vinyl flooring in our bathrooms.
Briana, Joel's sister, watched our kids so Joel and I could go camping together at the beach last week. It was so much fun hiking and boogie boarding.

Joel and Blake after the OC mud run. Briana ran it and did great! We missed her crossing the finish line so we didn't get a picture of her. We think we'll do it next year--it looks really fun.
The kids playing the big dirt pile at the OC mud run. It kept them busy while we waited for Briana at the finish line.
New living room set...finally! It's so bold but I like it! This is the first new piece of furniture we've ever had, besides our mattress.
New niece, Olive Meg Huston, born Feb. 20th to my sister Cindel and husband, Ryan. I got to see her this weekend in Long Beach. She's adorable, and likes to sleep! Julianna didn't want to be in the picture--we tried several times.
New mother, Cindel! She looks so good and she's a great mom!
New nephew and new niece together at Bradley's baby blessing yesterday in San Diego. Was Blake really that tiny? Wow!
And here's the shocker....drum roll...NEW HAIR FOR ME! (Sorry not a good picture--I took it myself and don't have a lot of makeup on...oh well!) Now you can scroll up and see what it looked like before, and now after. I LOVE IT! The highlights really made a difference, and the length is perfect. Sorry family, I did cut my hair, A LOT! But I really like it.
