Painting

I'm still painting furniture and reselling. I recently purchased a air paint sprayer and it is so nice to use and the end product looks really great!

Here are two of my most recent projects.

Here is the before picture...

and after. :)


Forgot to take a before picture of this one...oops. :)

Hopefully they sell quick.
I just posted them on Craigslist!

Nephew Sleep Over

My nephew Jake have a sleep over on Monday night. Dylan was so excited that he came over and they played really great together (sometimes they wind each other up too much! :))

We went out for a DQ treat.

And as the evening went on it was time to wind things down and they settled in for a movie night...with all the lights off, of course.

New Bike!

Mark bought me a new bike with the money he received for Christmas. He is so generous. I tried to talk him out of it but he loves to give gifts and I really like my new bike!

This weekend we strapped some pizza on my front basket and we all took a bike ride to the park near our house. :)
Mark and I played a little football...but stopped when he forgot I was a girl and kept throwing the ball so hard!! :)


Dylan was content digging and by the end of our time at the park had a handful of boys gathered around him wanting to do the same thing he was. :)

The girls had lots of fun and followed each other all around. It's fun that they are playing together now!

It was a beautiful afternoon!

North Mountain Hike

On the 1st of January we went for a little hike at North Mountain.

We didn't get very far but it was fun to be out and enjoy the outdoors. Family Portrait

It was a great way to start the new year!

"booby trap"

Last week Cadence was playing outside and all of a sudden I heard her crying. I ask her what happened and she said that she ran into the rope. The thin rope was attached from the edge of the trampoline to a pipe on the side of our house. She was excited because she heard that our neighbor had come over and was running inside to come see her and she ran right into the rope...it basically clothes lined her. Thankfully she closed her eye fast enough!

I told Dylan what had happened because he is the one that had put the rope there. He saw her and saw that she was ok and then said, "oh, that is so awesome. My booby trap worked!".

Boys...

Dinner with friend from afar!

This last week my friend Jill Anderson ( http://theothersideofthemoon2009.blogspot.com/ ) was in town from Korea! We arranged for us girls that knew each other from her time in Phoenix to get together for dinner. We ate at a really great restaurant called Windsors and had such a great time catching up!
Jill took these pictures (I just stole them off her blog :)) but I wanted to remember our time together. Jill has gone through some hard times in the recent years, but her spirit of grace glows all around her. She has such a peaceful spirit and wish I could see her in person more often. But for now we'll just have to keep following one anothers blogs. :)
