Summer Fun and Projects

If you notice the dresser and nightstand, these were beautifully refinished by me and Jason. They look about a million percent better than they used to.

This is the latest project. We are reupholstering this recliner. Someday it is going to look Fantastic!

This is about what it looks like now. Although we did carefully scoop all the foam into trash bags rather than leave it on the floor.


This is our pretty princess talking to Grandpa or cousin Ella. Everyday she changes into all three of her princess dresses at one time or another.


Navie got a bike! She is still trying to get the hang of it. I should get a picture of her expressing her frustration with it.


Navie loves play dough. She is quite the creator.


Not the greatest quality picture but such a fun time. Navie is off-roading with daddy.


For the first couple days after we bought her bike and helmet. Navie would wear her helmet for hours and play outside. She would have little or nothing to do with the actual bike. She would even eat breakfast in high-chair wearing the helmet.

Just Sitting Watching the Grass Grow

Well I always get the order of the pictures wrong. But anywho...Jason and I are in the process of turning our rock yard into a luscious yard with green grass. We raked, tilled, raked, fertilized, and laid down grass seed, raked, and watered and watered and watered. Please do not be fooled...this was a grueling task!

As you can see from this picture, the grass is beginning to grow!! With progress like this, we'll have a yard in no time at all!

As you can also see, the weeds are really loving all the love and care they are inadvertently receiving.


Luckily, we had such a hard worker to help us get all the work done!
