Cool Chickie

Just a quickie, Took this photo a couple of weeks ago. Funny but Kaylie really was not to bothered by her Daddy's Sunglasses. I think I am going to have to find her a cute kids pair!

I love it when someone else does most of the work and you just get to fill in with the fun! lol

I used the Cuddlebug Quik page Album and Silly boy Cuddlebug kit too.

Window Planters Oh YEAH!!!

Paul finally got a spare minute and put my Window planters up!! YIPEE When we saw these we knew they would be perfect for our house plus it would remind us of our great trip to Europe. Since in Germany they have window planters everywhere!! I have been so excited to get them up so we can enjoy them!! YEE HAW



Here he is bringing them, yep they are pretty darn heavy so this seemed to be the best way to move them. No way were we going to be able to carry them and LIFT them up on ladders! YIKES!
Besides ya know how it is 'Boys and their toys'! lol

A before shot, a beautiful deck but it is just missing something! (plus I am now noticing how much junk we have stored underneath it, ummm....looks like I have some cleaning to do)

How funny is that for a ladder! I swear Paul is part Monkey for the way he climbs around on things. When Amber was about 6 months old I came home from work and he had her in a back pack ON THE ROOF!! I almost had a heart attack, but that is mostly because heights scare the woo hootie who out of me! Paul was totally ok with it and for that matter so was Amber! hmmm now I know why she was so excited to go sky diving! lol

Justin to the rescue!! Paul could not hold the entire planter up and line it up with the screws. No way was I climbing up there! Well someone had to take the pictures, ya right that is why! ha ha Justin, who is just about as comfortable climbing around as his Dad is hopped over the railing and helped is Dad out!







A view from over the railing, man I do love it :) Ok maybe it does not look full and super yet but I am still loving it!
















And of course the 'After Shot' I know they will need to fill in a little to really be spectacular, but oh they will soon enough!



Thanks guys, I love them!!

Baby Blocks

These are the baby blocks I was talking about the other day. I love the way they turned out. The color is like the top photo, I have no idea why my color is so weird in the bottom one.

These are for my niece Jill and her husband Taylor, they are expecting their 1st baby and I heard she is decorating the baby's room in green and Brown. So I thought these would work for them. You can either put them on the wall or just set them on a dresser. Love that basic grey paper!! I have another set to do for my niece Cristin who will be bringing Carson into the world on FRIDAY!! Keep them in your prayers! :)

Other than that I am pretty boring, just working, working, working!

Sunspot - Rainbow Spot or WHAT??

So have you ever seen anything like this? It was on Friday May 18th, so it was totally beautiful and hot. Not misty at all and here in the middle of the sky was a straight chunk of rainbow!

I had to grab my camera because I was afraid no one would believe me! lol

Really this was simply stunning in it's beauty. But I do have to tell ya, Paul and I just watched the move 'Day after tomorrow' and I was wondering if huge chunks of ice were suddenly going to come crashing down out of the sky! It's the movie where the weather gets all weird due to global warming. Strange move but some really good actors!

Don't know what caused this but it was really cool and I do know that God is such an amazing artist! Love it, just love it!!

Had a super fun weekend with Amber, we scrapped with some friends over at Laura's place (thanks again Laura) and then ended the day with a facial body shop party. I always have fun when I spend the day with my kiddo!

Lots of good times even though I really didn't get much done except for a baby gift for little miss Jill who is going to have a boy. Actually both my nieces who are preggo are having boys. Both girls are going to be really good Mom's too. They will give their kids strong Christian foundations, which is just awesome! :)

Daddy's Girl

Ha ha, I wonder how many times in Kaylie's life I will use that title?? She looks so much like her Daddy it makes me laugh sometimes.

Her coloring is like her Mommy but her Mommy hopes she does not sunburn as bad as she does!

We have so much fun playing with her, I am so happy she is such a happy girl. KWIM?? She likes everyone and is only cranky if something is wrong, like a wet diaper or teeth or not getting a nap. She is just a delight, ya this is coming from the gramma so I might be a bit biased. lol but I don't think so.

I did this layout for a challenge on 2Ps to use your own handwriting. No this is not my handwriting, I saved this one with Kimberly's font cause no way am I keeping the one with my stinky handwriting on it. Yah, Yah, Yah I know you are supposed to write in your own handwriting now and then but good golly mine is just way to stinky! really it is! :)

Saturday before Mother's Day we had the 'Kids Club' at our Nursery. We own a retail Nursery which has been a family business since we started it in 1979. Man we were just babies when we started! ha ha

Check out this cool Dude :)

Anyway, we started the kids club in March and had 10 kids, in April we had around the same but this month we had 25 KIDS!! WOO HOO I finally got the permission slips for everyone to sign so I could post some photos of the day. I love watching kids get inspired, no matter what it is that inspires them!

She is so intent on creating, I just love it!!

They each decorated a planter and chose a plant to plant in it.

Gotta love the orange apron on this little guy and could this little one be any cuter :)

I am sure I had more fun than the kids!

We are going to do our next one the Saturday before Father's Day, which is also our 28th anniversary of being in business!

I think I will try and get a group photo next time with their 'finished' creations!

This cute kid drew a cactus and scorpions(YIKES) on his planter. Really, really creative

And his little sister was about as sweet as they come.

Yep I had a blast and hope the kids did too!

Our start on 'the Garden'

So here are the photos I said I would post a few days ago, I thought I would get the last 3 boxes planted and show you a finished product! But that will have to wait till this weekend so here is what progress we have at the moment.

Raised beds with wire mesh on the bottoms and

weedcloth underneath to try and keep the Darn Squirrels out!

I have tomatos, 4 kinds - Cucumbers 2 kinds - 1 cantalope - 1 watermelon - lots of varieties of lettucy stuff and banana peppers for Justin. I have no idea what those will be like.

So here is our 1st casuality in the garden caused by those DARN SQUIRRELS! Luckily I had 1 extra super sweet 100 cherry tomato so this didn't totally fry my britches, but close :)

I snapped this shot of my 'Grounds Keeper! lol Dad has been keeping everything mowed close to the house, trailer and motorhome. It looks soooo much better all mowed and I love him for doing it without me even asking! Love you Dad! :)
