Another project

My friend gave me this since I needed something by my front door and I painted and distressed it. I just love it!!!! So cute!

I just redid James' office. I forgot to take a before picture but here is a little one. I painted and switched stuff around, added shelves.

New Swing set and fun

Well summer is over and fall is here. . . at least I think it is over. I was dying of heat at Derick's football game today. A few days ago it was pouring rain and cold, however today is warm. I love this weather when it is in the low 80's and a slight chill in the breeze.
Anywho we got a new swing set which is AWESOME!!! The wooden swingsets are just to little for my growing kids so our good friend built one for us. We bought galvenized steel and he welded and put it together. It is 10 feet high and solid as a rock so all the kids can be on at once swing as high as they can and I don't have to worry at all. I need to buy one more swing or double seater thing and it is done.



Derick's new chore this summer was mowing the front and back yard. What a workout!!!

Playing on the tramp!

Taylor turned 7 this past week. She got a scooter with light up wheels, a dog that converts into a sleeping bag and some polly pockets. Also some money from grandparents so she can go pick out some stuff. Taylor is such a sweet girl with a big heart!

Yosemite National Park

We went with our friends to their ranch for a long weekend and went to Yosemite Park for a day to do some hiking. I have to say that Yosemite is the most beautiful place I've ever been. It was breathtaking and I just loved it!!!

Dresser revamp

My friend gave me this dresser that she was starting to redo but lost interest in. I thought it would go perfect in my living room but I needed to make it look "less" like a dresser. I took the top drawer out and put in a shelf and then painted the other drawers black. I wanted to add some color so I covered the shelf in a fabric. I added some cute knobs that were on clearance at Lowe's and voila!!! This renovation cost around $7.00. I already had the paint from my hutch.

Mother & Son Giants game

On Friday me and Derick went to a Giants game. We made it a "mother / son" outing which was alot of fun to spend time with just big D.


The three sons!
