Kitchen Progress

We are one step closer to having our kitchen re-done. Chris had a contractor put a new support beam into the attic and we took out the closet and walls of our kitchen. We really like it open and the rooms feel so much bigger. We have a lot to do, but we are getting closer.

Memorial Day Weekend

Well it has been a while since our last posting. As many of you know, it has been pretty hectic around the Slaughter houseland lately. Thanks for all your thoughts and support.

This weekend we did a good amount of road biking. On Friday, we went for an 18 mile ride and then Saturday I broke my record by riding 48 miles. We rode the course for the Road to Victory that we will be doing next weekend. I think I convinced Chris enough that I could complete it next week...:) Chris rode another 30 miles on today, but I had to go pick him up when the weather turned bad. I cleaned off all my bikes before the rain hit.

Last night, we headed to the Boulder Creek Festival with some friends. They rode a carnival ride, but they couldn't convince me to get on it. I refused after getting motion sickness earlier in the day from just sharing a lane in the swimming pool with other people. Who knew waves could make you sick feeling in a swimming pool? My tri is going to be interesting.

Clear skies for a day...

Chris and Josh were able to take their first day of paragliding lessons this weekend. There lesson today was cancelled due to another day of bad weather. For the last couple of months, it has been sunny and warm all week end until the weekend arrives. Amber came down on Saturday as well as Julie and Kevin. We went to sushi and then had cupcakes to celebrate Josh's birthday.

Kentucky Derby Fun

This past weekend was filled with rain and it was really chilly outside. However, it has finally past and it will be in the 70s and sunny all this week! The ran didn't stop us from having a fun filled Kentucky Derby party over Melisa's house. She made some really tasty Mint Juleps and I even made a Derby Pie. We all picked a horse and I thought I had a good chance...think again...the odds don't mean anything. Josh was in town with us over the weekend for their lesson on Sunday, but it got postponed due to the weather.
